Re: Marijuana makes me think of death [Re: Bill_Oreilly]

When i have a low tolerence or ocasionally if i get really high marijuana will give me terrible anxiety. I'll start to think about all the negative things in my life. One time i smoked after months of not touching herb and it triggered a pretty nasty panic attack.

At the time i had a lot on my plate and wasnt doing so well emotionally/mentally. Having all these difficult thoughts and negative emotions bombarding me and being unable to sort through them while high is what caused the panic attack.

It was a difficult experience but i got something out of it because i learned how to calm myself down and rationalize things when i feel overwhelmed like that.

I used to love cannabis.  It was an easy going psychedelic for me.  I stopped using it for several years and later used it again like how I used to- but nothing similar occurred, All I got was intoxication, which is not what I want at all.

I wonder what happened.  Probably just grew up.

I think the math problem is not avoiding death but finding and facing some subtle triggers so they are less insidious.





Nah its just the weed high. If i smoked a couple bowls of good bud i would have the same reaction

Its just hard to accept the fact im going to die. Im not even really talking about being dead that is the problem it is the way in which i will die that scares me mostly



so
in your weed high,
how do you foresee the Way(s) In Which You Will Die?

Think of a way of dying that isn't scary, then do that to yourself; it'll guarantee you won't die from cancer or liver disease.

Sorry man, I don't mean to be a dick when discussing a serious topic; I just couldn't help myself, especially after watching that George Carlin video.

I sometimes get anxiety from MJ as well.  I try and use it as an opportunity to practice dealing with anxiety.  I've gotten much better over the years!

For me, getting stoned usually resulted in anxiety.

Although I knew it caused me stress, I still smoked for decades.

I have a low tolerance for happiness, so pot helped me a lot.

might as well have a will and discuss  disposal of the body so your people are not too confused when it happens



:awepreciation:

I need to stop thinking about death on psychedelics. Not that it's bad necessarily, but it consumes so much of my time, and puts me in such a weird place while under the influence. And then when I'm not under the influence, I end up thinking about and reconsidering the ideas that I had while I'm under the influence, so then I'm just thinking about death a good portion of my day. At the very least, it's a complete and total waste of time and a downer.

Your psyche is affected by shit social conditionings... if you were raised to believe in reincarnation, where you are reborn destined to pick up where you left off spiritually, then death would not phase you one bit.

You should work on being more open hearted because the heart chakra governs your fearlessness. :highdog:

Nothing helps me appreciate this life more than thinking about my inevitable death.

To the OP I have the same thing happen.  I have some medical conditions that always come to the forefront of my mind when I use cannabis.  I know eventually I will die from them If not something else first, and there is some anxiety involved with it when it appears.  Sometimes I would like to just get high and do some every day activities like work out or go mushroom picking in the forest yet it stays with me.  Depends on how I handle it.  It just gets worse if I dont change to be a better man in my life and the relationships in it.  When I do change though it is special.  Still its repeating.

We are hung up on how we die.      I don't understand why it matters.

Sorry if I sound like an ass, but it always puzzles me why we care how we die.

Its not that, If you have ever lived with real physical daily pain and nausea, death doesn't look so bad at all, in fact its mysteriously intriguing.  The thing is living with sickness for long periods of time and wondering if it will ever let up or get better and heal once and for all, and if not just kind of resigning yourself to living alot more limited than a healthy individual.

I don't really have a negative view on death but I find it intriguing sometimes when I get really stoned and start thinking that I am going to die one day and that it's really gonna happen...to me and I'm going to seemingly find out what awaits no matter what and it will be inevitable. Nothing is permanent, I see it as a new beginning.

When I get high without a tolerance (which has been lately) I tend to get really introspective for some reason. And when I take strong edibles with a low tolerance it's ridiculously introspective, almost like acid.
Makes me feel like I don't even need other stronger psychedelics for significant introspection or personal insights anymore because some of my most introspective trips of all time have been on pot and many of them within the past year or 2. Something about edible hash man I swear. Take an edible made from hash oil when you have a low tolerance and tell me that shit's not gnarly. Totally entheogenic but kind of lucid but really accelerated my thoughts and almost organized everything. Didn't feel that intoxicating but quite psychologically psychedelic.

its like it becomes just me versus this inevitable problem..which is death. i sit and think "ok..i AM going to die. what am i going to do about this? it WILL happen. Fuck" and its just something i cannot get passed. its like ive had such a good life that dying turns into an extreme fear and anxious thing to ponder. It really is going to all end. one day and one day sooner than i want..it IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

is anyone else forced to look at it like this?




I've gone through periods where that was the case. Eventually it will begin to seem pointless and boring, and although you probably won't feel that way because you've "defeated your fear of death", there will be a change in the relationship.

These days marijuana makes me think of playing guitar. One of life's great pleasures is to smoke weed and play music.

This is an awesome post.  As you seem to know, anxiety is what YOU make it.  It's work!

And, never apologize to the slackers.  Never!

L-Theanine + Espresso will help ground you and make you feel better when you get these feelings.

Get a moka pot and a cheap burr grinder. Also read the Bhagavad Gita, all that is as much as I can do to make you fearless without rallying you in person. :highdog:

That shit happens to me too. I hardly ever smoke anymore but used to a lot. If I'm around other people, I don't like it because I worry about them if I did die (unless I'm drunk, and then idgaf). If I'm rolling solo, not as big of a deal to ride the wave. I have only smoked 3x in the past year, though, so my sample size is not sufficient.

I think it's more about control, imho.

pot takes my mind off of death.

without pot, my mind is surrounded by the premise that "something is better than nothing".
