Ganja as a Psychedelic

Getting completely roasted out of your mind off of high potency Bud, and thinking maybe the following thoughts: -Has my pineal gland completely lost it -This can't be the first Salvia flashback in history -That's it, what have I done to my brain
Okay, honestly maybe not that extreme, however I think it is awesome how you can completely loose it on weed, given the right circumstances.
When I started smoking weed 6 years ago, I was about 18 (maybe 17.5) I was a complete lunatic. I got bad cases of Glossolalia, possesion of "spirits" and "personalities" (Nam Vets and "Liquid Demons")visuals such as Tress Bending and complete skips in reality, in which the void was filled by intense imagination and/or some sort of dreaming.
Total loon, I was, and the shitty part was that I wasn't doing this for any sort of attention. I know, because I felt kind of bad afterwards, with always a feeling of "What the fuck happened to my brain?"
Anyway, I carried on, and two years later, I can handle all my drugs I choose to do. Awesome. My point is, despite the fact I was an asshole on pot the first two years, I tripped fuckin' hard off of weed. Currently, I trip off of weed, however in a very contolled and fine tuned manner, comparitively.
Things that I found made weed more psychedelic(for me, duh): -Doing Tons of Acid, Mushrooms, and Salvia, and being mindful of them in areas of memory and respect. -Smoking lots of weed, fast -Paying attention to the strong points weed has for you (Meditation takes a backseat to activity, or vice versa, for example) -Low dosing fine alcoholic bevarage (I'm a lightweight, however if you can feel a slight, clean buzz, while smoking tons of weed, this is a mindstate I actually find as useful as a low dose of Acid (80 mics or so)
Off of the surface my morning mind those are the things (hey! La Bamba is playing!) I can think of, while high of course.
I still in a way have the original traits of the weed high I used to get. My alternate personalities and spirits are found in my art and humour, visuals take on a more gentle, well defined (orderly) psychedelic mindstate reminiscient of all my trips combined in subtle ways; much more controllable and thus usable as a tool, to direct certain experiences towards the preferable end of the spectrum. If I make that choice, insert exception here along with opposing viewpoint and look down straight in between, your mileage may vary, void in Mexico and Indiana.
Is weed a Trip for you, sometimes? How does Ganja give you more for less?

When I get blazed out of my gourd, I get the usual pattterns, peripheral, and closed eye visuals. It's not like I'm out their in the ether when I smoke, just very subtle.
Reminds me of this chick I know that is a scizo. When she takes her glasses off, she hallucinates a fabrticated reality. I didn't believe her till she had an "episode." The mind is an intreging abyss.

Jah herb is an awesome thing. I remember when I cleaned myself up for about a year and after smoking a few joints I got so buzzed, it was like a moderate hallucinogenic. Apollyphelion, I'm "sorry" that I had a hand in the fiery forging of your mighty weed habit. Lols.

For those who have had experiences with the psychedelics, sometimes marijuana can trigger hallucinogenic type visuals in those people supposedly. It's never happened to me though. I'd be pissed if it did, I smoke the herb to relax and get unstressed not to trip balls.

Luckily I can do a bowl and fry like that. It used to be a lot more frequent for me, but after smoking everyday for the pasty few months my psychedelic experiences with weed have gone down. However, one of my strongest "trips" on weed was just a few weeks ago. Long story short, the sky was changing colors and shapes (no joke, there were no clouds, just dots and patterns).

When I first started smoking about 3-4 years ago, I was pretty sensitive to it and I would get strobe vision (kind of like a salvia-light version, i guess this is what you mean by skips in reality), awesome closed eye visuals and sometimes my brain would do this thing where I'd be in my washroom and it felt like I was in my kitchen. Also, I had terrible balance and would sometimes almost fall over myself.
When I was doing mushrooms alot, weed definitely got stronger and stranger. I can't remember in what specific way now though, besides being able to look at things and make them wavy and shift and that kind of thing.
I quit about a month ago because it wasn't doing anything for me anymore. I always told myself I would quit when it was no longer anything remotely similar to a psychedelic. It was no longer something fun to do or look forward to. So I'm going to wait about 6 months to a year so I can remember what it is to really trip on weed .

Wow, that's pretty eerie. I thought I was weird for feeling so "out there" on lots of weed. Smoking a fat joint and occasionally drinking with it definitely changes my state of consciousness. It is beyond being high, it feels like my ideas flow through me without me latching on and thinking them into the ground. In that state of mind my actions are much more pure in their intent and I can finally stop thinking about myself and listen to what other people have to say 
Your topics have been pretty interesting. What kind of stuff do you think about when gifted with a sudden shift in thinking? Lately I've been working on controlling my focus. That along with breathing techniques have made me stay in a similar state of happiness that I would get when I was tripping. Just good to be alive, you know? When I'm walking with friends, I stay engaged in the conversation now instead of wondering what the person walking towards us was thinking. Control of what your own mind thinks about feels like true freedom to me.

Cannabis started getting more psychedelic the more psychedelics I did. I did so many psychedelics that, now I can't smoke weed as often as I would like too as it spaces me the fuck out way too much to function in society.

That is cool you quit, because there really is no use for something that does nothing for you, unless doing nothing is your practice. Tripping as well, for me. Trip til you don't need to, is what I always say, however for some the psychedelic pool seems large and maybe that's why some of us keep going back and back. Currently learning to grasp all of the music functions LSD has to offer, which is many! I probably could write a book on my music experiences alone! So that is what keeps me coming back to Acid...or moving foward? same shit.

I engage currently on expressing models of thoughts with the following qualities: Stupidity, Pretentious, Humble, Non-Dualistic in nature, "Unquantified" (as defined my complete utter nonsense: See: Robespierre) Hateful, Loveful, Cynical, Realistic as defined via current context of real, context, context, context. The mutual agreement of a dissassociation from what everyone says.
I think about talking and words a lot, and how they relate to geometries, and colours and rocketships and...hell, I'd rather read what you have to say, to be honest!

Ganja works as a psychedelic - Some types of bud will make you see stuff different. It's different in the night then the day

yes, obviously when eating cannabis, a person can get "too" high
the only time i remember really having any type of visuals from cannabis was some excellent quality purp the first time i visited amsterdam. we were all seasoned smokers but one doobie made all four of us comatosed and all of us later reported seeing rainbow colored european architecture (buildings and such), probably from traveling so much. 'never found any other purp quite like that!

Only when I started. I guess you could say when I started smoking I would get high, now I only get stoned. It's gotten much more controlled over time, but every so often I smoke and get the old feeling of tripping on weed.
Not eating seems to affect my high making it stronger, but maybe I'm crazy.

Ganja can definitely be a psychedelic...for me at least...my tolerance has dropped a great deal lately since i'm on probation, that and with the use of other psychedelics, now whenever i have an opportunity to smoke it feels like a mild trip

Yep, weed started acting like a psychedelic for me after I tried shrooms. It was weird.

When i get strobe vision (haven't had it in over a year though) i also get very bad 10 second or less memory. I can hold long a conversation fine, yet i can never remember what was said two sentences ago. hard to explain. Seen the film Memento? Watched that in that state.. i was so god damn confused, felt like the guy in the film!
