Why does weed make you introspective

Getting high is a straightforward process, yet one that can be affected by many different factors. A lot has been said about cannabis and just how little is known about the plant. One of the most interesting parts of consuming it is how it can vary greatly depending on the user, with some people loving its effects and others claiming that it makes them feel paranoid and anxious.

Here are five factors you can play with to have better control of your weed high. The most influencing factor is likely the method chosen to consume cannabis.

Consuming an edible, smoking a joint or taking a hit from a bong results in very different highs. For example, edibles take longer to have an effect, but produce much stronger and long-lasting highs than joints or bongs. A hit from a bong can be much harder to manage for inexperienced users than a hit from a joint. Dosages are also very important. A wrong one can either put you to sleep or set the stage for a really anxious state of mind.

When trying out a new strain, consuming an edible or dabbing, the dose selected can make or break your high. I use to smoke all the time but I recently quit a few months ago. I was starting to hate the feeling of being slow and feeling light headed and shit faced.

I like the feeling of being awake and being aware of my surroundings. I completely understand. After a long time years in my case it just flat out burns you out. I have lost many nights to a racing mind while trying to fall asleep from being too stoned.

Terence McKenna, an all time great on the subject, said the ideal way to do it is to get some great stuff, and hit it once a week, if that. Now that I look back at it I think I was just smoking just to be cool not because I really liked it. To be honest with you I had the most fun smoking at the beginning. Junk food and pot. Spent so much money on these two things smh. But yea I totally agree with you on only spending your money on the good stuff and taking your time smoking it.

If your going to smoke, in my opinion you should doing it the smart way. Hello mate, ive never actually come across your blog before, but I landed here from your reply to my comment on zendevils mdma therapy post a couple days ago.

To be honest, I cant really remember a time I wasnt high. And I actually feel it becoming a problem. Therefore, I found myself on sites to stop smoking weed. From there, I discovered weed isnt this danger free drug, in comparison to drugs like coke, nicotine and meth, it is a red riding hood with a knife under her cloak. And I just wanted to say, after the passing time of carelessness towards its use and lack of understanding it, I really do believe what I just said.

I only feel normal when im high, not when im sober. It is true what you said. You do look at things different, feel things different, you truly do go down a path unique to your own mind. However, I barely remember how they feel, because I cant remember how they feel in a normal state to compare them to.

Or when or if im in a normal state to compare to the high state. I understand what youre saying, and I think im going to say this, in the first time of my life, maybe we shouldnt embrace marijuana.

Thank you for reading my comment. I can assure you I am going to look further into your blog because from just this post, and all the possible value around has sparked my curiosity. Appreciate you coming over to read the post.

Someone of your stonage level can offer a lot to this discussion. You would want to be in the moment, and not deep in your mind, in my opinion. If you were meditating on the hillside, deep introspection might be tremendously uplifting — a time when digging deep could be quite helpful. We need to educate people about how to use marijuana as a tool for introspection, and that certain times such as operating a vehicle could be quite negative for stoners.

This study explores the possibility that the association of marijuana use with mental health differs among various subgroups of users. Specifically, we investigate the hypothesis that marijuana use and the personality disposition of introspectiveness interact in their effects on psychological well-being.

Of the 6. Given that a significant chunk of the population are consuming the stuff, it is perhaps not surprising that most people believe the risks involved in getting stoned are more or less equivalent to the risks from getting drunk.

Certainly many people use cannabis without adverse effects, and indeed with plenty of very pleasant ones. Moreover, there is evidence that cannabis can bring real medical benefits, for example in alleviating chronic pain.

But there is also known to be a link between cannabis and paranoid thoughts. That is understandable given that we are all constantly compelled to interpret social situations, weighing up the attitudes and intentions of the people we meet.

Because it is impossible to know for sure what other people are thinking, there is ample scope for our anxiety to get the better of us. Like most psychological experiences, there is a spectrum of paranoia within the population: many people have a few, relatively mild paranoid thoughts, while for a few people those thoughts are numerous, persistent, and profoundly unsettling.

Cannabis users are more likely to be at the problematic end of that spectrum.
