Salutations everyone,
Each time i revisit BlueLight there's always some smashing title about how miserable people have become after an encounter with dame Cannabis. That's something which eludes my comprehension for the most part, simply because the "artificial" eden i was warned about (while in college, 30+ some years ago) only materialized as an artificial hell, if you will...
In my opinion a large component of this misery being pictured on a daily basis actually happens to be generated & maintained by others. Perhaps it's a result of making no public trouble about it, etc. In any case the suffering i experienced while younger mostly came from my parents, etc., as they only got biased information on the subject, to say the least.
As a former hashish smoker i can see and recognize some of the harm done but certainly not as a vaporist today and not at my age! It doesn't mean others don't live through real pain, it's just i'd be curious to know what's their perspective sometimes... Cannabic vapour enhances my life, i do not fear dame Cannabis anymore - on the contrary (!!) - but lets be fair and mention consumption isn't a focus point.
If/when moral is down it's time to have a change of mind but getting intoxicated hardly solves that issue at all, no matter how bening it can be. Each day a person needs to succeed in a few little ways, not necessarily spectacular as it may come from simple moments like contemplative gardening, etc., a dimension i feel strongly about every time i get a chance to enjoy the presence of a healthy cannabis plant - something i miss a lot at times. Yet, i'm sure you get the idea: it's important to be able to evolve through a nice hobby, to grow with other people around, etc., etc. Call it tiny-bit accomplishments, it doesn't take much but those do help when made possible once in a while.
So, in short what i'm saying is that if one's life seems miserable then i'm afraid dame Cannabis can't do much to assist; personally i've been gifted with some special way to appreciate music, its beauty and similar aesthetical sources of amazement so it turns out a toke will enhance that. Flush negative emotions through creative means, or at least involving ones that can tame down some urge(s) of the moment i would say! Call it artificial, i'll just be laughing...
Here's how i view it. People like smiling people, generally speaking. Even if the day isn't particularily motivating i've found that adopting a grumpy attitude does me no good, sometimes being nice may work on another hand. At least it's worth a try. But if the pain is too big to handle then either lets have a couch lock, watch TV and then have a couch lock, or both... No big deal, humans aren't built to be miserable constantly. At worst cry a couple days and then most problems will appear to shrink in size, that's part of life.
Maybe the misery comes when insisting on seeking a perfect moment in a broken world, it's not always what it seems IMO. Sometimes one has to let pass and recognize there ain't gona be relief when attempting to choke negative emotions repetitively, using cannabic intoxication as the means. Maybe i'm just and old fool talking shit but yet i still don't know for sure why in our times of instant access to global knowledge there has to be so much frustrations related to my friend dame Cannabis!
If today is dark then simply wait for tomorrow as it's garanteed to arrive, or at least try to seek beauty to amend the day!! Personally i've found creativity works for me, even just "creative" listening at times, etc. Now imagine if you're got a nice voice, a talented brush, whatever. Once it's been set in motion the mood will change and then a good toke will put icing on the cake - which often fails eventually, when attempted the other way around (e.g. inhale and then wait for a miracle to occur)...
So, i guess i'm saying never loose sight on hope!
