What up my fellow stoners. I am 17 years of age and I have been smoking for around 3 years now. I noticed that many of my smoking experiences was correlated with deep and intense thoughts. I referred to them as "genious trips". Being a psychology major, I become very skillful in analyzing people and situations. My highs usually end with guilt trips of not striving to be a better person. I noticed that the majority of my times being stoned were me trying to engage in activities that benefits me, such as doing homework (very difficult), writing about ways to improve my life, writing daily schedules to follow, working out, and deep intense thoughts about the direction I am heading in life. I am never able to smoke and kickback and have fun. It sometimes seems as if I am unconditionally following the demands of my superego. After I fall asleep, I would revert back to my original state, hence losing all my great ambitions. I strive to be a better person, but it is easier said then done. My use of marijuana has made me consciously aware in what I must do in order to succeed. I also have noticed that if I start marijuana use heavily, my ambitious highs would start to fade, making me a addicted zombie. Upon analyzing myself, I realized that this may be normal for someone my age. I believe I am in the transition of adulthood, ultimately transforming my psyche into a mature adult. My personality is very much interested in philosophy, in which one of my greatest hobbies is having intelligent conversatios about life in general. I dont know if anyone else experienced this type of "enlightenment", but I am feeling very frustrated and confused. I tell myself during my times of altered perception that I am capably of being perfect. To strive for perfection is basically the main train of thought I have when I am high. I dont know where I am getting at, perhaps I am rambling. Comments? Questions?

Thanks if anyone read this, I just had to get all these thoughts out of my mind!

yeah i sometimes have those especially when im high but not really high. you can see right through people and tell what they are really like or atleast you think you can and you think of all these ideas and you can think clearly about your life. Its crazy ive only had those trips when i smoke alone.

I jus finished smoking a Nice Simple 1 Paper Spliff and my mind is buzzing and **** and I happy
But as I read Daniels post (well done by the way! so clear and precise) I realized I too feel that way.
I love smoking at school simply because while Im high and sitting in class, If im handed work to accomplish, i'll work at it with all my heart until its done and done well.
I also tend to think about my future... what I should "grow up" to be and how i could get moving towards that.
Just last month I showed up to my math class blitzed off a couple spliffs, and the teacher invited a student counsellor into the class to talk about what Universitys and Colleges we could goto and to be thinking of what we wanna be, and I still today have everylittle paper she gave on costs of Colleges and courses and ****. My High gets me thinking beyond jus today and just here.
It gets me thinking of The Future, and my History, and what Im going to do in life. It gets me thinking of Life in general, and why we are here, are we spirits? what happends after death? anything?
Then I realize how much I love life, and all the little things in it.
Being here is like a big test on our spirits, to see what we can learn from life and get through hard times.
I dunno now IM rambling...
Anywaz, Daniel, I think alot like you do, and I too am the ripe age of 17! Im king of the World!

Dave!

i myself also get those genius trips as you call them i have wrote a lot of poems and songs while stoned thoughts just come so much easier to you when your stoned its like when your straight you have a block blocking your brain from thinking certain things mabye absurd or stupid things etc but when im high i can think about anything and it feels great some of my friends who have been smoking for longer than me (i've been toking for 4 years now) tell me after a while it wears off and when you get stoned you just loose all motivation and want to go to sleep but i think thats just with certain ppl what do you guys think

dude, yeah totally the same here. I first started smoking 3 years ago and I would always write down thoughts and ideas into a journal. I would have everyone that was stoned in my room sign it, draw a picture in it, or just write. I had some really interesting and incredible pieces but the note book was destroyed by a hungry family pet. I am a heavy pot smoker (usually about an 1/8 of dro every few days) and ever since I moved out for college this last year, I have found myself gettin high out of boredom everyday and trying to be productive. I smoke a bowl every night after I eat, go workout, smoke a bowl, sit down and write out my plan for the next day. I find that if your going to be smoking alot of pot, its a good idea. yeah, im rambling too. fun.

in the past few months i see myself getting more and more into drugs n wasting my money more rapidly mostly on weed, but im sure 2 say that every1 has those moments when u feel like ur life is hopeless. but wut u also prolly didnt kno is that marijuana is a depressant and all those deep thoughts and memories u have are all pulled into a negative category and u can only think of the bad things that happen to u...i got in trouble with the law and like every1 else i thought i could juss forget about it n smoke it away but it juss comes bak harder on urself, the only way 2 really stop feelin that way is 2 become a casual smoker (weekends, parties, sometimes once or twice a week) but wen u start doin it everyday it messes wit ur head more n more

p.s.-smokin weed doesnt take pain away either...it enhances it

THis is exactly why I smoke. I love those "genius trips", I get so intuitive and I kinda "sense" things, and, to my amazement, almost everything I "feel" is the truth. It's hard to explain but I hope you get what I'm trying to say.

What happens to me is that when I smoke, if I am with someone else, I get very talkative and don't enjoy the high as much. I usually get very distracted by many things and talk about everything that comes to my mind (thing which I hate, because I think that language takes such a heavy toll on the brain [i.e. you need to concentrate very much to talk, not ramble] and this impairs, to some degree, the "introspective intelligence", as I like to call it).

The highs I love the most are when I'm alone, and smoke some good stuff. Then I start to do the things I "feel" like doing, not in the way of "wanting" to do, but like "feeling" what to do, I'll try to explain this with an example. If, for instance, I'm just getting high, and I start to feel a little urge to go to my room, then I do so and, most of the times, I will accomplish something. When I get to my room (this is still the same example), I then get another urge, say I see a notebook, I read something I had written on it and BOOM!, suddenly I get this excelent idea about something.

You see, I believe that the human "intuition" is much more than what it is thought to be. I believe that many times our "intuition" can guide us in the right direction, just by trusting it, and I do feel that, somehow, this intuition (at least mine) is enhanced when I smoke.

I don't think I explained myself very well, I don't think you who have read this will get exactly what I mean, but hey, this is a forum, so lets discuss!!

Peace.7L

PS: I also love psicology, I'm currently studying it, individually, and soon will study it "formaly" at a university. I'm 21 years old BTW. Cheers!

Another thing:

This is just your opinion downertime, because I do not think MJ is a depressant, I think it is absolutely the contrary (check out a thread in Health & Medicine where someone says they use MJ to help their depression and says its making wonders). For me (as you can see by the previous post) Mj gets me all "cerebral" and I tend to be motivated to do many more things, heck! my favorite thing is to smoke a little and then go climb a mountain! Love that feeling... *drifts off*

hehe, guys, you think marijuana makes you enter genius trips.... you have no idea, I don't mean to promote this off-topic drug but if you really want something that makes you go completely in your mind and into deep thinking of different perspectives on life, well this off-topic drug comes from cow **** btw but when i tried this drug for the first time i dont even know how to explain the level of intellect comprehension i was on but it was waaaayyy out there, but sry for the slight promoting here but drugs can be used in good ways

SevenLeafs

You never mentioned the drug man! Anyways, I'm not into any other drugs, and never will be, I'm just happy with my MJ

Cheers
