A lot of people see pot as a chill-out feel good drug. A lot of people refuse to recognize that it is a psychedelic, that it causes beautiful visuals, and that it can be as intense as most other entheogens. I just thought I'd share what cannabis does specifically to me for these people, and anyone else, perhaps people who have yet to try it and could use a thorough bulleted list of effects (not that there aren't enough of those already)
Dosing: Vaporized (180C) several hits makes for a medium-high intensity trip. Onset 10 minutes, peak lasting 1 hour, plateau lasting 1 hour, effects trailing off until sleep. A couple dozen hits sends me to another world, filled to the brim with chaotic and deep visuals
Salient effects:
* Somatosensory: Some parts of me are falling, faster and faster. Other parts are accelerating in large curved-loops. The acceleration can get to such a point that it feels painful, and I am breaking up. Then all of a sudden I burst onto a new level, sort of like a vehicle switching gears. Now I'm going even faster but it's smooth, but still i am accelerating more and more, and I am getting more and more uncomfortable, until I burst onto a new level again
* Visual: Anything that I am able to conceptualize, can also be vividly visualized on the drug. The visuals usually consist of patterns, color displays, and imagery, all blended with eachother and with my thoughts (eg, intentionally thinking of the color yellow will cause my visuals to take on a yellow theme). Sometimes, a conceptual thought can be "converted" into a visual image, and vice versa. As my mind's "read/write head" (like on a disk drive) floats through my preconscious memory, the imagery before me is continuously fluctuating and morphing. The images can be normal-looking, beautiful, memory/thought evoking, amazing, or just downright bizarre and disjointed. Sometimes, it feels as though i am supposed to be seeing this imagery in this state of mind, as if I am witnessing a divine visual symphony constructed for my pleasure
* Thoughts: Mentally, I am stimulated, with many thoughts racing through my head at once. I recieve memories from many years ago (including childhood) that I thought were lost. My state of mind seems to be similar to how it was as a child, basicly a reversion to a state of both simplicity and wonder. Reality feels extra real and it feels like I am "home" (whenever my marijuana trips start, I get the feeling of "welcome back"). I feel priveledged to be alive and experiencing it
* Cognition: My short-term memory, during the intense peaks, is thoroughly shot. I cannot remember 2 seconds earlier, and since everything about my reality is fluctuating so wildly, I cannot predict 2 seconds into the future. I am completely "NOW". However, my cognition is also 'lubricated' in the sense that it is more abstract and loose. In this wildly different state of mind, I can come up with ideas and solutions which would otherwise have been blocked. Marijauna has been a useful tool for everything from programming to calculus
* It’s as if there is a winamp equalizer for my brain, and the dials are all separately going up and down randomly. In this state of mind, with certain aspects of my reality-producing machinery 'off balance,' I can gain much insight into the ways I think. I experience information processes streaming, as if from a computer, and influencing my state of mind. I experience the "gears at work" creating my consciousness
* Reality takes on a physical-spatial-mathematical feel, and my experience of external reality becomes more "objective" in this sense, with the raw physical nature of reality starkly presenting itself to me
* Perception:: My visual and auditory senses are enhanced. I hear things I normally don't (people opening the door to the backyard, the dogs ruffling the bushes, people out on the street) and colors are beautifully vibrant and lucid. My appreciation of art (both visual and music) is significantly increased
* Horny, holy, and hungry all at the same time: My decision-making process takes on a hedonist nature, and this causes many of my experiences to be (in my sober opinion) "wasted" on the munchies or satisfying certain other drives
* Side effects: Pretty much zero side effects. Water negates the dry mouth, visene negates dry eyes (which rarely occurs). However, I am much less sociable on marijuana since I am so intensely geared inward
Conclusion:
* I don't know why others get an alcohol-like buzz from this, yet with a few hits I am thrusting into the sky watching imagery that seems divine. In any case, for me at least, marijuana functions as a fascinating and powerful entheogen, and every trip is completely different
* Having experienced absurdly intense trips with Salvia, mindblowing trips with mushrooms, beautiful trips with MDMA, disjointed trips with DXM, and a host of other drugs, overall I still rate cannabis as one of the top entheogens there is. I advise you not to get a tolerance and ruin it
