[QUOTE="psychonaut13, post: 144249, member: 7982"] i totally see your point suxor, and agree for the most part. i think we all have to be careful when looking at a situation like this though....generalizations are good for dealing with large groups of the population, but when you get into personal preference....personal attitude..all that...the point of generalizations becomes mute. as for myself, there are many reasons that i smoke pot 1. every since i was 10, i realized that my brain processes information at an alarmingly fast rate. i would get frustrated just thinking about every day things because my brain was processing all the thoughts i was having at the time and cross referencing it to other information in my "database". after the first time i smoked, i realized that i didn't get frustrated nearly as often with my own thought process because the speed of it slowed down enough that i could understand what it was doing....so it stopped feeling like i couldn't understand my own thoughts. that frustration used to turn to aggrevation which turned to anger which turned to rage. i never really pushed my rage on anyone at that point, just towards myself. so when i'd get into a thinking mode, i'd have a puff to slow my brain down a bit and prevent the rage. however, i didn't start smoking pot until i was 13...and even then it was just every once in awhile. i've always described it like this.... you know when you're watching a passenger train go by and you can see the ppl in the windows but can't make out the details....thats what my brain feels like when it's processing information too quickly. with the use of marijuana, i can slow down that "frame rate" and actually not only learn from my thoughts, but learn how those thoughts came about and what referenced them. my online name is psychonaut because a psychonaut is one that attempts to better understand human consciousness and behaviour patterns with or without the use of psychotropic substances...most WITH the use of.... 2. i have a condition known as post tramatic stress disorder. before i found meditation i had to smoke to keep myself from flying off into a rage at the slightest mishap. and for years i medicated myself in this way, also with alcohol. but then i started getting interested in eastern philosophy and budhism... since my experience with budhism and the psychological studies it envelopes...things have changed quite a bit. i've learned the cause of my own bullshit, and i can now see through it and control it without the use of weed. 3. i was introducted to drugs in general by an american indian medicine man. it wasn't my buddies saying hey man lets get high! it was this little medicine man that taught me that drugs are not to be used to escape, but as tools. i still firmly hold to the idea and the practice of seeing them as tools. 4. i enjoy smoking pot! not just the high it produces, but the whole process of taking a dried PLANT, breaking it up and smoking it. i enjoy the taste and sensation of the smoke, of the texture of the smoke...etc. [/QUOTE]
