Hi again Aeon Psyche,
There is no shame in searching for a decent combination.
Absolutely, the
Wall-of-Shame i refer to actually denies such a quest as it apparently resides in a durable disinterest for "
Harm Reduction" content, which is the contrary to what i initially assumed when i registered as a member. As i recall this period corresponds to a time when i was already trying to discuss the consequences resulting from choices relative to
consumption method and ritual, so to render dialog possible a "
Prototyping Platform" was suggested to those searching after some challenge to get involved to. That's how the years pass in vain, awaiting for a member who's willing/ready to acquire a perception of his own using a common tool as reference. Then it should prove easier to describe vilification vectors under their numerous forms, once put in evidence at the 1st-person... But i regret to admit the main echoes that got received seem to express more preconceptions than curiosity.
I smoke left over leaves from cannabis i grew myself and find myself in a pleseant state but i cannot bare much.
Well, maybe that's a hint about dosing; that's a start but you also mention
smoking it, not to mention i'll bet the genetic selection is one of 2 extremes. The cigarette/"joint" method gives no choice to avoid mixing noble molecules with toxic/self-poisoning
combustion compounds. In exhange you get convenient disposal of a 1-time container tube made of wood fiber and glue, but to ignite it some sacrifice must be assumed which has
dosing and hence possibly even economical repercussions. In both cases an excess of dose and bowl size/weight constitute vilification vectors eventually also aving effect in terms of "tolerance"... Consequently i'm also thinking of a consumption profile shaped in roller coaster fashion.
It's not all too easy to pick the correct wording, for example i find "Harm Reduction" less than suitable and most specially in days when we're supposed to have cannabis legalized. So i'm equally reluctant to make a comparison with alcohol but i still find useful to do it as a short-cut: alcohol, who's educating teenagers and young persons to it by supplying a 40 oz bottle to all those who volunteer and no drinking glass for anyone? I mean, proceeding like this would only promise to systematically expose vulnerable individuals to substance abuse, while in fact it's the consumption method that goes defective, then the ritual as well. Unfortunately such degree of confusion turns into unforeseen routine when we switch to cannabis, because a full "joint" has plenty of doses promoting abuse already. Now imagine when the
THC:CBD ratio and "
entourage effect" get severely twisted by selective human intervention driven either by greed, bigot prohibitionism or both. Which denies kind of early all convenient access to alternatives ranging between 2 extremes - and i ain't even brought the matter of "bio" vs mass production leaving "traces" with boosted toxicity behind! ... Then somehow we're supposed to be surprized and blame the substance alone for multiple vilification.
To avoid it completely is offcourse the easiest choice...
For who? Yourself or those self-serving predators actively interfering (almost religiously...) in the affairs of others by boosting
vilification ways until we all give up?
IMO we better not await for the "
Drugs-Free World" warriors to fix our consumption methods & rituals. Let me just say i fixed mine and yet most of the adversity came from my own side... Which takes us back to the Wall-of-Shame.
...dishes will wash themselves...
IMO a need to "T-Break" combined to an urge to clear the kitchen obviously provides a hint it's about time to learn to recognize vilification vectors, seek them and then fix them. To help decide where the devil is hiding exactly. In addition have you considered the consumption method + ritual may feel anxiogenic intrinsicly? If so how about a placebo dimension of ritual, etc?
Good day, have fun!! ☮
