Is marijuana use an unspoken rule for posting on WATMM?

problem is there's no cultural pre-screening program

Weed has really helped me with self-analysis

My models/conceptions about myself, the world and what a human being is have completely changed in the last year or so...very strange feeling, almost like waking up one day in an alternate universe that looks identical to this one, but with different clockwork running under the surface

Very well put

Thx, m8

Ha!

I used to take kratom twice a day, which lasts about 3 hours. However I've basically cycled off. I initially took it for depression, though that's long since lifted. 

Yes! Amen to kratom. I love the way it doesn't really make you high, just clears the mind and allows you to enjoy all the simple things in life, in a way one could before alcohol, weed etc.

Plus more energy and productivity.

Only downside is the tolerance the body quickly builds up for the stuff, requiring regular breaks in use.

I feel like weed makes me notice things about sound and the way that frequencies interact that I wouldn't notice otherwise. My autistic detail-oriented side goes into overdrive and I can obsess over making noise-ish music where a few frequencies laid on top of one another create microrhythms or something and I build up from those rhythms. I'm not explaining it very well, but is this common? Or am I just high and believing that I can hear details better?

Nope, that happens to me too. Like I'm "closer" to the sounds. I love it.

Experienced the same sort of thing myself. I also feel that listening to music on weed has allowed me to 'carry' that same super-intense analysis over into when I'm not stoned, like it was a little skill set that I first unlocked by being stoned. Especially with relation to being able to focus on just one element, whether it's the bassline or the tambourine in the right channel or whatever, and focus on it with that kind of laser-esque clarity you have when you're baked. Obviously it's not the same experience as listening stoned but I do think weed can really help you develop those skills.

My ritual lately has been to get stoned at 9-10pm and then listen to my (current) favorite composers and read analysis of their stuff and try to extract conceptual tools from them, and then try to apply those tools...

I think half the battle of being a creative person is simply becoming aware of things...like if you listen to piece and its internal logic is a mystery to you, but then you study it and gain some understanding of it, then now you can apply it in your own music...and weed seems to facilitate that to a huge-ass degree

There's something quintessentially Ohio about this. They introduce one thing that sounds really cool, but turns out to not be that great. I doubt the physicians there will have the same kind of exuberance in prescribing medical cannabis as the western states. At least you'll be able to get edibles.

listening to music while high on weed or even better, on psychedelics, is incredible and to me have always been a way to confirm what I like.

for example, if I think I like a artist, getting high and listening to that artist will often make me realize whether or not its really good. its like I feel sober im another person, and high some parts of myself are more in tune with what I really feel. sober seems more around what I think, getting high helps me connect somehow. ime, we really shouldnt trust what we think when high

Ah si, the old river, she giveth and she taketh away.

What's the recommended dose on space cakes, one bite? Wait an hour and see?

Maybe it was shite because you only worked on it for a day

Weird, I remember there was some drama about the ohio legalization situation, like celebs blocking out other growers or somehting. . Maybe thats why it's so backward seeming?

"And yet it has driven a wedge into the usual pro-marijuana coalition, in part because of language in the measure that would restrict virtually all large-scale marijuana cultivation to 10 designated farms.

The owners of those farms? A random bunch, including Nick Lachey, designer Nanette Lepore, NBA legend Oscar Robertson, NFL journeyman Frostee Rucker, a pair of President William Howard Taft’s great-great-grandnephews and twenty-some others — who, not coincidentally, are the same folks bankrolling the campaign, and stand to become very, very wealthy if the measure passes."

This is probably the case.

find similar aspects with writing projects where things flow more fluidly, although editing & proof-reading are always done straight-headed afterwards

with sounds & music for long turntable mixes its v similar to what you've outlined, where you might pick out elements that take things in a different direction (considering its records or cd's other folks have composed)

underpinning these, 1 of the main uses i find is it can act as a psychological purge, where stuff that might have been circulating subconsciously gets a mental airing, processed and dealt with, usually at the end of a knotty week

thats also 1 of the criticisms against opinions who hold on to the notion that its only ever consumed to fog or hide from reality, far from it & for ptsd especially mein gott.....considering the volume of tranqs that get thrown around the logic fail in this area of the NHS is staggering

not sure if this thread was where the British drugs map series was posted, ie: the horrors of synthetic bud aka spice in Wolves & illicit valium in Scotland,

anyway, the series now locates to Swansea & its continued love affair with brown/opiates, *as horrific as it gets at times mind

I watched the episode on spice and it was grim indeed.
