I would like to discuss some aspects of the psychedelic potential of THC that seems to be rarely discussed or investigated.
Cannabis has been a long term companion on my journey through life, it has been a wonderful and gentler alternative to alcohol in providing a relaxed and enjoyable social environment to unwind in.
But it has somehow, (other than the first couple of experiences) nevr been up there on the scale of say LSD, Mushrooms, DMT, Salvia etc.....
These substances grab your full attention, you are completely involved and interacting with the phenomenon, you dont smoke a huge hit of salvia in order to help make washing the dishes more bearable or to give that old bob marley track a bit of an inner groovyness, but with Cannabis, it has always been that I have used the drug as an enhancement to something else I was doing, playing music, driving, chatting to friends, writing a poem, going to the shops, it seems that Cannabis has given me a lot and been very gentle in not demanding much in return.
When you compare long term THC usage to Heroin or Speed or pretty much anything, Somehow the energy of Cannabis is gentle and safe.
But it occured to me that I couldn't remember one single time when I had smoked Cannabis to investigate the Spirit or the Essence behind the drug itself, when you sit down to have a deep visit with the salvia lady or with the gnomes and sprites of mushroom world, you fully pay attention to the dialog, but with Cannabis, the dialog is always about something else, or a selfish introverted exploration.
I always took from cannabis, i never really thanked it for what it has added to my life or given it my undivided direct attention.
So because I have had these direct contact experiences with other entities through these rarer and stronger plants, I know through direct experience that a logos or an archetype or some kind of mind external to my own can be perceived and engaged with in some regions of hyperspace.
But I had never met the THC goddess, well I didn't even know it was a goddess, i have heard it described as a goddess energy plant but that's just rhetoric and someone else s ideas but until I have a direct experience of something myself I try not to just buy other peoples raves on the blind faith that they are right.
Thats how the religions got so lost, they excluded the need for the verification of direct experience of their gods.
So how to find out if she really exists, how to facilitate a meeting with the lady of the hemp garden, I didn't have much to go on but I remember those trip reports from the 18th and 19th century explorers in books such as "the hash eaters" and in those accounts I found descriptions of experiences that are as wild and psychedelic as any DMT LSD 2CB Nitrous combo you will find on erowid or bluelight.
So these guys got somewhere on THC that was further out there, way further out there than any place I had gone with it. Now the quantities these guys were taking were quite monumental, such as eating 3 or 4 ounces of full strength sticky black Nepalese hash and tripping balls for 3 days and stuff.
On these amounts they describe full hallucinations, out of body experiences, ego death, one-ness, panic, fear, astonishment and ecstasies of the type todays brave psychonaughts desire, but this was all done on just good old THC.
Now I don't have the means or the time to invest in obtaining and eating 4 ounces of Nepalese hash, but I did hear a Terrence McKenna talk once where he lamented about his cannabis use and felt like in some ways he had missed the essence of it too, and his using it daily as just a booster was not a serious investigation of it, and he thought that a better way to treat is was more similar to the way we treat things like strong dmt trips or high dose lsd journeys, they should be done rarely and in high doses and in silent darkness with your full consciousness and attention open just to the drug itself.
So I know that from personal experience after 30 years of regular use, that giving myself a break from THC for a minimum of a month, but 2 or 3 months will be better, will lower my tolerance to a level where a huge strong dose will be massively more effective than if i have any tolerance.
So the plan was/is, stop all THC for as long as possible, complete abstinence, not even the occasional sly bong. Then, after a month or 2, eat a good half ounce of fresh buds and roll a joint of the strongest organic sticky sativa, a massive joint, one that would make bob marley put it down half way through, and sit in a dark room with just a candle lit in the middle of the night, smoke this whole joint, at least a quarter ounce, I read in one of these old books that the only way to take cannabis was to go hard until you reached the point where you were convinced you had done too much, then as soon as I finished the last toke, blow out the candle, lie back in silent darkness, and pay attention to what happens.
I am embarking on this experiment soon, just waiting for set and setting to fall into place and I will be seeking a meeting with the goddess if she exists.
I just wondered if anyone else has approached THC in this way.
I will do up a trip report if anything interesting happens.
