Hey man. I am not much a smoker anymore, but the past few days I've been smoking a lot of blunts with my friends. Today I've decided to start refraining because while cannabis can definitely give awesome bursts of insight, clarity, and creativity, it easily becomes a dependency thing on some level for me, an escape, and also a source of general murkiness.
Do you practice meditation at all? You post a lot in P&S, I've noticed, and a lot people in there practice meditation. It can seem boring but it is fucking worth it to develop a good practice of just sitting and being with yourself without having to constantly be stimulated.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

I used to post in P&S until i realized the p is for pussies and the s is shit. But it's funny that you mentioned meditation, that's really the whole reason that i stopped, that and lucid dreaming. I medidtated for the first time in a long time this morning. It seemed like an eternity, but i looked at the clock and it had only been 5 minutes. Im so close to smoking a bowl it's crazy... i had a terrible day at work.

Well don't give up. Smoking another bowl is fine, but weed really dampens the finer receptivity of parts of the brain and closes you off to a lot of possibilities with meditation and lighter highs.
Even 5 or 10 minutes of meditation is beneficial. Why did it feel so long? Did you have a lot of aches and cramps, or was it just your mind kind of...racing around, looking for somewhere else but here and now?

no... i went through the mind racing thing and then it was all the cars going down my street, and then i focused on taking energy into my third eye and time seemed to stop. But i didnt feel like time stopped, i felt as if id been sitting there for a half hour. Normally i have trouble keeping my eyes closed but this time i didnt. I think this is a perfect time for me to take it easy on the weed. im in the market for some books too, please suggest a good read.
