Anytime you use a psychotropic substance, the effects on individuals vary unpredictably based on numerous factors. You may think you have it down, but that will change and can do so quickly with a vengeance. It's inevitable. That's because your brain chemistry itself changes over time with respect to stored chemical bi-products in the body. It adapts like every other part of us. Pot stores itself in the fat cells of course, however, it's the brain's chemical reaction to the build up within the fat cells, in combination with the liver's process, that causes what we perceive as tolerance. Be careful and please try and "see" the fact that recreational self medication is a certain and serious risk.ghast wrote:As far as recreational drug use goes, the ONLY thing that ever gave me an attack was weed. I used to do large amounts of ecstasy, acid, ketamine and ghb, without any real effect on my depression or anxiety (nothing but fun). If I smoke too much pot, beyond a certain point, my attention involuntarily turns 100% inward and I start tweaking out over the slightest sensation in my chest or head, and I have to concentrate to breathe. This leads to the full blown 'I'm dying' feeling. As a die hard music fanatic, I still smoke pot all the time, but I need to know when to say when. Too much of it and I'm in for a horrible time. Some would say that it's stupid to continue smoking, but I kind of have it down to science now. I can get buzzed, and it still beats the hell out of alcohol, and doesn't carry the ridiculous legal penalty of ghb. Around here, the cops all but shoot you on site for having a bottle of G.
Incidentally, if you had ever done any REAL acid in any real quantity my friend (I mean that), your pot experiences would seem like popping baby aspirin with respect to introspection. Real LSD is HEAVY shit and frankly, during the peak trip consisting of a 250-500 micro gram dose, you had better be in some safe and friendly surroundings. That designer JUNK that goes around on blotter is NOT acid in 99% of the cases. That garbage in and of itself can cause a LOT of unexpected neurotransmitter dysfunction. Sometimes even permanent.
Last thing and so important, music, as well as EVERY other sensory input form is 100% more enjoyable and revealing when you're on your own personal chemistry. The best buzz in the world is YOU. Get high.
