sure, well it's basically what i wrote in that other thread. i haven't smoked (except once recently, and accidentally, through the rads in my old apartment) in many years, but from what i recall it's just another (potent) way to connect to my inner essence/the source/goodness. and i either want to do art or clean when i'm high (must be my virgo NN/saturn conjunction!). how do you experience it?

When I was 15 I was still struggling with the excess energy and I was "teaching" myself to "imitate" calmness
(this was difficult because the excess energy came out with toe tapping, finger tapping, and the inability to sit still etc,)

Then I discovered Pot and I found out if I took a couple of hits then I was the same as everyone else (no nervous energy)

Talk about love at first sight.

Later on when I was at the Dr's for my son who had ADHD just as bad as I did, I found out that it was common for people like myself to self medicate.

I'm not saying it's right and I certainly don't encourage others to become stoners but it truly was a God-send for me.

I hope they legalize it and I'm sure they will eventually.

and for the record YES
I have and have had a prescription for years.

WhoaCakes, with your Mars conjunct Mercury, I would think that you were hyperactive as well.

I feel like when I smoke, I feel ALIVE, like every cell in my body is vibrating and I also feel like I have direct communication with my higher self, but sometimes paranoia will throw me off and the communication gets very weak. I also read tarot when I smoke and have been told by many people that I am accurate. Not on myself though
Through occasional (about 6-8 days a month) MJ usage I've resolved my depression and Bipolar II disorder and have had very effective sessions with my therapists and I feel it is all because of the strong connection to love and to God that I often feel due to MJ.
In the pasts, I took psychotrophic (sp?) medicines that made me sleep all day long and never helped resolve my deepest issues. MJ has truly been a miracle drug.

Can you elaborate this more, please?

I'm diagonosed as Bipolar.

I have nothing against the natural recreational way of pot. That sounds kinda wierd coming from someone who wants to be a Substance Abuse Social Worker.

thats exactly it...i'm thinking like 100 thoughts at once and constantly move on to another 100 thoughts that i forget so fast it takes a while to remember what i was thinking, lol....i literally have to stop and think really deeply and retrace my steps to remember what i was thinking...my mom has to tell me to do something like 10 times before i remember to do it...and half of the time i dont ever remember her telling me to do it, LOL

I have seen the positives of pot; the stress and pain reducer, the calmness, anxiety reliever and sometimes relieves depression in people, and the negatives of pot; shady dealers, lacing the pot, the tendency to escapism, if with prolong use it does effects the users R.E.M. part of sleep.

Similar to this thread is was around the theme of 'everyone being entitled to an opinion' versus 'try walking a mile in that persons shoes'.
