weed ego dissolving?

Bluelight isn't your blog

Obviously you're going to be more outgoing if you're not sitting on the couch stoned out of your mind. I don't really see the point here...

OP i think i know what your saying. i can smoke pretty much as much dank as i want and not trip about the cost. was smoking 8 blunts a day with a few bowls in between(between 3-7g/day) and i noticed the more i smoke the harder it is and the less i care to hold conversations. I became less interested in what people had to say and didnt really ever have much to say other than "damn im loaded".

I've always been introverted, but when i smoke all day i feel like just being around people is a chore. I read somewhere that smoking reduces your cognitive functions, which would make sense why its so hard to verbalize your thoughts when ripped. and i feel like excessive smoking makes my memory so bad that i cant even follow my own thoughts to their end without getting distracted. im always like "wait what was i thinking about...?".

seriously man, ime when you smoke that much, you really cant do anything else.

Hmmm. I've seen some similar arguments on Bluelight before, about what constitutes 'Egolessness'. From how I understand it, it might be because people are using the words in different ways.

Some people may be using Self and Ego as having the same meaning. Whereas I have very different impressions of them.

Some here who have done psychedelics (I haven't) seem to describe egolessness as something quite different to an experience I had with meditation years ago, where what I would describe as my Ego 'switching off', while my SELF was fully functional.
