Zen Bud-ism

I'm with you, buddy. I smoke on my own for the most part. That's mostly because none of my friends here smoke. But I do have one friend I enjoy smoking up with. Most of my friends judge me, they... It's hard to describe, and I love them and all that, but he's a little different. I guess it's because he always smokes as much as, or more than, me. So we're always in pretty much the same state of mind. Smoking up with him is like smoking up on my own, I can let my mind wander, but I have somebody to bounce creative ideas off of. I try not to get so high that I can't follow a train of thought, just enough to alter me slightly. So he... Do you ever wonder what it would be like if you had another you as your best friend? I think that would be kinda cool. You couldn't get mad at the other you because, well, it's you! It'd also be really interesting to see how annoying I am. Anyway, he's a lot like that at times. But he lives in a different state, and sometimes I call him and say, "what's up buddy, I'm totally ripped," and we have a conversation or whatever, but the rest of the time I go off on my own. No regrets.

Tsup bros, long time smoker, new member. Good to know theres others out there who smoke alone too. I go to a private christian university and they kinda look down on potheads. There are a few tokers but its fruckin hard to find people to smoke wit. Its all good though when u got Mary Jane. Every night i hop in the car, drive out to this park in the forest and blaze. Nothins better though than gettin stoned wit ure closest bro. Anyways thats my thought.

man, the thing that sux , is if im just sittin there havin a sweetass trip thinkin about life n sh*t, it feels like my brain is slowly closing on me. I have this really cool thought one minute, and then all of a sudden i can't even think about it anymore, no matter how hard i try, and i always get this picture in my head of a cirlce (my brain) slowly gettin smaller until its closed ( my train of thought leaving me), And then after that all i can remember is the main "idea" i was thinking about, but nothing more.

Also, this is kind of heavy, i've realised that since im such a negative and pessimistic person, its hard for me to have fun highs anymore. It just brings out my negativity even more. I'm always just thinking about the bad side of things, never the happy side. its a tough situation, because it used to be fun in the beginning, and now i want that back.

I have a hand-held tape recorder and a big black notebook. I have sketches of Veterinary Clinic Designs in it, I have ideas for inventions, philosophical rants, emotional expression, doodles, new business ideas, everything in it. On my tape recorder I have guitar licks, poetry, quick thoughts that strike me, etc. All these ideas come to me when I'm high.

Being high alone is a great time for reflection. You can stare at your wall and just let your mind go where it wants. Sometimes your brain just attaches to stupid thoughts, trivial whims, or depressing feelings, but many times your thought process will take you into whole Worlds of revelation that you never would imagine sober.

I think its great so many here do that, too. I daresay that some of the best ideas were thought of stoned.

Footlong, I know how you feel, man, that happens to me sometimes as well. Sometimes I won't smoke for a week because I'm feelin' down and getting high will only make it more poignant. Don't stress it, try tape-recording your thoughts as they come so you won't lose track, remember getting high isn't about dealing with problems, its about enjoying life and reflecting on it.

I love getting high with friends, I like being silly and quoting Monty Python and getting red in the face laughing. But, most of the time I get introspective and reflective, and just sit and think. Luckily, my friends are True Friends and they let me do my thing without any social pressure and with total understanding. I get high alone probably just as often as around friends, its good to have fun doing both.

The Enemy, that's Awesome! That sounds like stuff my brain dredges up when I'm high. Those kinds of silly thoughts are Great material for science-fiction stories.

I just got a recorder and plan to tape record myself and friends while we are high and soon we will use a video recorder.

I dont have deep revelations like you guys are talking about, but i do like to record my friends doing dumb sh*t. I was baked outta my mind the other day and my friend dared me to spray my boxers with axe(totally soaked) and throw a match on it. We had hoses and stuff around so its not as irresponsible and stupid as it sounds. I wish i could have said goodbye to my pubes though, the fire took care of those little critters.

I too have these revelations. The first time it happened was at this one place, and then the second time was like a week later at the same place, same weed. The problem is I've figured out how to think in that mind set and now I have that sort of revelation sense at all times. Most of the things I've figured out deal with concepts relating to social class, actual happiness vs. the goal of happiness, the influence of age on social ability and happiness, ect. All these themes relate back to a central theme of Esteem. That's about the closet word I can use to define these things I can figure out. One time I told my friend about it and he asked me for a sample and I told him all kinds of shit about his life and how people thought of him and stuff and he was shocked by how spot-on it all was, like shit that only he should really know but I've looked into it. He was kind of scared though, because all of the shit I realize is pretty sad and passes a depressing judgment on society.

IDK, has anyone elee ever felt any of this stuff?
