'Headstuff' - How to be Good at Being Stoned

[Wishville]

No problem, it's a fair question.

I've been a meditator (at first in a variety of traditions, I'm a Buddhist now) for 24 years, over the last 10 doing a Tibetan form called 'Dzogchen'. I've taught meditation here and there for about 15 years.

I've got a very strong interest in psychology and various aspects of meditation, in particular 'transcendent experiences', or glimpses of enlightenment, especially spontaneous ones. These are more common than you might think, and are more likely to happen to people when they're stoned, hence this book. It's about learning to do the right things to both help you have a good high and to help you begin to explore and promote altered states.

In the real world I write books on (and sometimes perform) mentalism and hypnosis for a living.

I've taken dope for 22 years (for the first few years eating resins). I've explored it and explored with it for all of that time and found it very useful as an aid to meditation of all levels. I've discovered quite a few meditation techniques along the way that're enhanced when you're stoned and that give interesting effects that are worth exploring. I want to share some of these. I found too that certain aspects of meditation helped to keep the high fresh. I'm a quite heavy, daily user (not sure if that's right to be honest, I have no comparison. I do, say 8 to 12 bongs per night over a 7 hour period), and have done for over 12 years. Avoiding developing tolerance to the high is important to me, I want to keep the high as good as I can get it. I really hope that what I've written will help everyone else do the same.

I think that most people are going for the PDF at £19.99 rather than the print book

Ah, sorry, I missed that.

Whereabouts in Oz are you? My family is in Bris'.

I'm down in Adelaide, South Aus. There's surprisingly good weed down here considering we're the dryest state of the dryest continent!

I'm now seriously considering buying the PDF.

Peace

Hi All.

Excuse my ignorance of these things, I'm pretty out of touch (was I ever IN touch?) The book is just about to come out and I have to start doing real world stuff, like getting reviews and endorsements. I'd be interested to hear everyone's thoughts about who you would consider to be a good endorsement of a book like this, who's opinion you'd trust?

Thanks,
Mel

the thing u said about soda is true, it took me awhile to realise that i shouldn't be drinkin caffeine when i'm high if i wanted my high to last longer

I wish I knew that today. I smoked my last joint for september before my break (me and my friends are all taking a 1 month break, i'm not going to last but I can try). I had 2 cups of coffee and everything was good until 2nd period in school when I crashed hard and bad. I couldn't stop frowning and I couldn't hold still. My eyes were puffy and I felt like shit. I'll remember for next time it was the coffee that caused it.

Thanks for the tips, keep smoking :rasta:

[S.P.Q.R.]

That book sounds awesome! We should make a thread and try to make out own list of good things to do while stoned (or how to make you're high more enjoyable), and see others opinions. It's probly been done though

For $100 you can get a 1/2 here.

Around here you can get either an O of Decent Schwag for $100, or you can get a 1/2 of pretty good dank for $100..
