Weed: Fun, Manageable, Panic
Aug 7th, 2008 by admin
Drugs can be fun. Or Horrible. Much of the time, it’s up to you.
Quite often the way people perceive a drug such as marijuana has to do with the way they handle the mind altering effects and those more intense and/or scary moments. These scary moments don’t have to be the ones that make you believe that drugs will inevitably lead to psychosis. In fact, for many of us, these are some of the very moments we cherish the most.
If you’re able to see the scary moments as the mind altering adrenalin rush that they are, you can enjoy the moments rather then be paranoid and uncomfortable by them. Very similar to the way we approach things in life really.
Mind altering examples
Let me give you examples of different perceptions of the same stoned situation.
There’s someone at the door and you’re too freaked out to answer it
People 1: oh my god, this is so f#cking scarey, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do, what do I do.
People 2: oh my god, this is so f#cking scarey, lol, we are NOT answering the door. Sssshhhhhh. Switch off the lights. Let’s go upstairs as quietly as we can and look through the window oh so very carefully.
You’re in your own house but all of a sudden everything is a bit scary
People 1: What the f#ck is going on, get me the f#ck out of here. [cry]
People 2: What the f#ck is going on!? Why is our house so scary!?! This is hilarious and scary all at once. Let’s run to every part of the house until we find the safest place. Okay, there’s a block of chocolate on the 3rd shelf of the pantry, let’s make a run for it then make our way quickly back to the safe spot.
You’re in a public place and you’re pretty sure everyone knows you’re stoned
People 1: I am NEVER doing this again. People know. They’re all looking at me. I want to go home. Drugs and people who take them are bad and now I’m one of them and everyone knows.
People 2: Everyone knows I’m stoned. Nah, I’m just stoned and I think everyone knows. Just talk to my friends, relax and laugh like normal. This is fun. Okay, paranoid again. I’m going to pretend to talk on my mobile for a while lol.
So there you have it. 3 examples of the many situations I have been in and two distinct mindsets you can take.
