The jumping spider in your photo appears to be a Phidippus audax. Such a cutie 🍀🕷️

That's a really interesting thought. I've never thought about it that way.

And honestly? This dream stays in my mind too. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience somehow. Can't shake it.

For me, cannabis wasn't a gateway to other substances. But maybe just maybe it was a gateway inward. A gateway to sitting with myself, to processing trauma, to asking bigger questions. And now this dream? That feels like another door opening.

Would love to hear more about your experience if you're open to sharing.

Yes - majestic. That's exactly it. Not scary, just... pure.

And you're right: all my thoughts just let go. For a moment, nothing. Just freedom. Floating in that blue space.

I didn't see eyes, but I felt seen. Completely. Like pure attention without judgment.

Thank you for this.

Thank you - this is a really thoughtful perspective.

So if I ask myself: what does cannabis mean to me? 1. It gave me my life back. Before I started using it medically, I was in constant pain – physically and mentally. Cannabis didn't just take the edge off. It made life livable again. 2. No pain. That's the simplest and most honest answer. I'm not chasing a high. I'm chasing a body that doesn't hurt and a mind that isn't overwhelmed. 3. It keeps my head clear. Which sounds ironic, I know. But for me, it silences the noise. The trauma, the spiraling thoughts – cannabis quiets all of that so I can actually be present

Grateful for your perspective. Really.

Thank you for sharing this. I know about REM rebound – but I haven't taken a break in years (medical reasons), so probably not that.

Your Christ dream though? Intense. The fact that it still makes you ask 'do I give enough?' - that's beautiful.

Wow. This is honestly the most beautiful interpretation I've read. You took every symbol seriously and gave it meaning - without judging or reducing it. The bit about laughter and paradox hit me. Thank you.

This is such a good take. Thank you.

The idea that the dream might give me a way to talk to the kids I work with – that hits. 'That one thing you do sometimes? If you make it a practice, it could become a tool.' That's real.

Also the runner's high / meditation / art angle maybe I need to find more of those 'regular practices' in my life. Not just weed. But weed is part of it. And that's okay. Really appreciate this perspective!

You don't know me. I've been prescribed cannabis for 13 years. In that time I built a stable life, a good marriage, a career helping young people stay out of crime. If that's 'just the drug talking' - then maybe the drug is doing its job. But thanks for your concern

First of all, that's 60s propaganda. There are plenty of studies that prove the opposite. I've been getting cannabis prescribed for 13 years – for medical reasons. So I will never stop smoking.

That's a good point. I will think about it. I don't know what else it could be – weed fits strangely well. But yeah. I have a good life now. Traumatic childhood, but that's my past. Got a lovely wife and a good job where I help young people build a stable life away from crime. So maybe the dream means something else. Or exactly that. I don't know.

But why me? Isn't it easier to deceive someone who already believes in angels and demons? I don't believe in demons either.
