enough to see it legalised for recreational use, it's just annoying
that
everything takes so long, have been waiting 30+ years haha ;)
Look I'm not a kid anymore. I barely remember my youth. I'm happy to
have a pipe, and not much more than a puff or two, at night. I
couldn't imagine being stoned on grass all the time, nothing would be
worse now at my age. Also, too much water under the bridge which
doesn't lead to a real carefree existence all the time, some of the
time yes, but not all the time. Stoned on weed is good when the
mental burden is light, not when it's heavy.
So, to me there isn't any difference now between legal recreational
weed and medical weed - it's the same weed, imported from all over the
world, not much grown here in Australia, high THC if you want it, not
much on the expenditure side either.
I've slowed down a lot as I got old(er). Still sharp but far more
serious about things. No longer the 1973 hippy with the mushroom
jeans on tripping on acid and smoking a lot of pot.
### - was only being kinda sarcastic re waiting until it's legalised
etc,
they've been talking about that nearly forever here in the uk, ever
since
it was banned in fact back in 1947 or thereabouts, the uk being one of
the
last to make it illegal and only under protest at the time seeing as
they'd virtually raised a whole empire off the profits of
importing/exporting dope worldwide (cough-cough, sorry i meant 'spices',
riiight...) ;)
otherwise you and i are very different then in that respect, because for
someone you accused of knowing nada about it altogether i've actually
smoked it near enough every single day since age 17 or thereabouts after
being introduced to it at college heh (how that happened actually being
a
great story just in itself, one perhaps for another day...) the only 3
items i genuinely took away from college being weed, lsd & my first real
girlfriend lol, a year after which i dropped-out altogether and which i
considered was plenty enough education for moi, the rest was rubbish ;)
and whereas you kinda look down on weed and from what you say above:
don't
think that much of it etc, i'm completely the opposite and see it as
having been instrumental in shaping not only my whole outlook but also
my
later education to a higher degree... kind of like a tv interview i saw
years ago about our controversial channel-4 sending one of their indian
reporters to the indian mela festival, something that takes place every
year in india and then you see all these holy men covered in grey ashes
traveling to it from right across india and beyond, every 33 years being
some kind of special super-mela event having some kind of astrological
significance to it, the same 33-year event the buddha is reputed to have
attended back in his day and apparently caused quite a stir...
so anyway, they packed this young naive uk-indian guy off to the mela to
go see/report what it's all about, 100's of 1000's of these holy men
descending/converging on the place like the muslims do at mecca only
bigger! and this young indian reporter dressed in a dark 3-piece suit
lol
and his big channel-4 microphone, is going around asking all these holy
men questions about what it's all about and why it's happening + what it
all means etc etc etc... and at one point asks this typical looking dude
he was interviewing why he was smoking hashish so heavily (everyone in
the
tent is literally chuffing-away on chillums and pipes and stuff like
there's no tomorrow lol) and doesn't all that drug-taking interfere
with/contradict all his holy man spiritual practices??
and this holy-man dude pauses mid-puff in a cloud of thick smoke, looks
up
surprised at this reporter, a look of humorous scorn clearly crossing
his
face for a moment and almost rolling his eyes, replies: my young man,
don't be so stupid, don't you 'realise' it was smoking hashish that
turned
me INTO a holy man in the first place??? you should try it!
and then he went back to honking heavily on his chillum ahahaha... our
young reporter looking clearly dazed/shocked, not only from that guy's
rather surprising remarks but prolly also from all the thick fumes lol
:)))
get it?
that for 'some' people it's a total lifestyle, one that may or may not
eventually turn ya's into some kinda holy man hehehe...
go figure ;)
Smoking pot is so mundane now for me that I need a reason, not just
get stoned, but something along the lines of better sleep, or
elucidation of rational thinking, deeper enjoyment of music, better
enjoyment and appreciation of nature - colour, form, evolution etc;
pondering beginnings, endings, time, space, metaphysics...and so on.
Or, very very occasionally, just get drunk and stoned and fuck myself
up (within the bounds of a 70 year old body) with music until I totter
off to bed.
It's just...mundane. The thrill of illegality is gone, partly due to
age partly due to ease of legal acquisition. The effect is well
known, nothing new there experientially. So, it's just a herb with interesting effects.
There is no way on this planet I would adopt it now, or even 50 years
ago, as a "total lifestyle". That's for some people as you say but
not for me. But as a permanent part of MY lifestyle, it's there to
stay.
In a nutshell, I find it enjoyable and I've been smoking it since I
was 16. It's still mundane though.

### - think of people like Howard Marks (Mr Nice) whose whole life
revolved around it, the uk's most notorious dealer, who ended-up having a >very different kinda outlook on life & living in general, ditto a whole
heap of other characters whose involvement (with drugs) led them down a
very different road of life-appreciation and style, the holy men of india >being the original hippies in that sense, only it's all about >self-development & spiritual advancement with those guys ("it was hashish >that turned me INTO a holy man" etc) it's influence on western people & >thinking being undoubtedly the same, and the next thing ya know young

Give it a belt pal. You won't regret it. If that is, you have
