I’m a big proponent of marijuana. I recommend it to others almost as a rite of passage and I’m eager to see a world where marijuana use trumps alcohol consumption. But I admit that it’s not without risk.
I like to think I am of stable mind. I have never had a drug experience that had overwhelmed my sense of self or being. I have a couple times felt overwhelmed physically, to the point of exhaustion, but my mind kept pace and knew how to navigate the experience. But I’ve also experienced moments where I sensed a certain line was on the verge of being crossed, where the sense of self/being would not be my ultimate experience. Again, I don’t feel as though I’ve crossed that border myself but I have a rather high tolerance.
I recognize these moments to be quite dangerous to those less grounded in their sense of self. I would not be surprised that such an experience could lead to psychosis.
The potency of commercially available strains now are on a completely level to the ones I consumed during college. This research is absolutely necessary.
- obsequiosity 5y agoHow do you develop a stronger sense of self?
- whytaka 5y agoI can’t answer that. I don’t think I did anything to be this way. As far as I know I was born with it.
- rantwasp 5y agoAlcohol consumption is not without risk. It literally kills your brain cells and has many negative side effects associated with it. Alcohol is widely produced, distributed and consumed. To me this comes down to having the choice. Do the research, document the possible side effect, give me the choice is I want to drink/do the drug. Also, anecdotally based on my own life experience, I think overall marijuana is less harmful than alcohol.
