Sativa-dominant strains have psychedelic qualities, offering dramatic introspective, frame-shifting experience. It isn't as profound an experience as one from psilocybin, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I've experienced realizations while under the influence of sativa dominant strains similar to, if not greater than, those uncovered during therapy with a psychologist. However, other times the re-framing of reality was simply fiction or not as epic as what it felt like while under the influence. Since the experience is so introspective for me, I partake in it sparingly, in the right settings where I can get the most medicinal value from it.

Throwaway because I don't like to tell people I smoke. I must echo this entire post. I'm able to learn so much about myself when high. Far more personal than a therapist ever gets. I do introspection sessions after smoking. I smoke twice a week and do at most 5 hours of introspecting every week. This year I'm doing every other quarter. After smoking I think about how to better myself and insights just flow in perhaps about 3 really good ones a session. And while yes about 10% of my insights are incorrect it's not a problem to write them all down in your phone and verify in a couple hours. Doesn't seem like many people have similar experiences.

  Try listening to cognitive behavior therapy audio books while under the influence. I can't go too far into a chapter without pausing and losing myself in contemplation. Listening while under the influence is a great way to trigger introspection.

Sativa makes me go pretty bonkers, not in a good way. On the other hand Mushrooms and LSD are much more mild and therapeutic for my mind, even though the visual hallucinations are stronger. Personally I think weed is much more dangerous than LSD and mushrooms because it's done to such extreme quantities. E.g. the "smoke weed every day" motto is very dangerous for some.

Agree with this 100%. I’ve practically quit drinking and replaced it with a casual, infrequent smoke/edible. I find it far more enjoyable and far more learning. It’s also nice to not take in 1000+ calories. :)
