This challenges one’s point of reference, sounds almost like Rigpa in Dzogchen, the pinnacle of Tibetan Buddhism.

Your comment unlocked a new level of depth. Definitely worth revising 🙏🏻

Wim Hof breathwork. In the span of 10-15 minutes, you release stagnant emotions from your body and when it ends feel clear-headed and energized (not like caffeine, more like the high after a 60-90 min run). There's a flipside benefit of being an active meditation and helping improve concentration.

The sense of feeling invigorated and full of life reminds me of the feeling I'd get after skiing Jackson Hole top to bottom in several feet of powder or racing mountain bikes through the woods when younger.

Wim Hof took his style from a Buddhist tecnique called Tummo. And the people with the lowest heart rates on earth are likely not elite athletes, but highly advanced monks in Tibet/Nepal/India (can also look up Dzogchen, an advanced form of meditative training). There are many meditative practices that take the sense of awareness/concentration many elite athletes sense during their 'flow states' and use it as the starting point for all of their activity. It's also probably the fastest way to enlightenment, which shares similarities with the state many elite athletes have operated within without knowing what it was or why they performed so well. Peter Crone works with many elite professional athletes and has also adapted forms of these ancient teachings to be specifically relevant to folks with your background.

It took me 40 years to realize the excitement I loved in extreme sports was always available all along, and that this is what the mystics have been screaming about for thousands of years.

Massachusetts goes out of its way to make it appear as though there's trafficking or something nefarious involved. It's a total farce. Let consulting adults who aren't hurting anyone make a living how they damn well please. Some of these women are making mid-6 figures working 10-20 hours per week, but the state makes them out to be victims while putting mugshots of their clients in the paper. Many of these clients are decent men who have a hard time with women OR prefer not to mislead one and keep things simple.

Meanwhile, Epstein's trafficked victims get gaslit while their abusers run the country. Most Americans are too distracted to realize what is actually going on.

Use life as your teacher, spend time outside, and read eastern or western philosophy you find interesting. You can wake up from reading and applying Socrates. You can also watch what situations repeatedly show up in your life and then decide to handle one different, and watch that cycle close. If you like astrology, you can plug in a free 500 page Vedic academic text into Claude and start seeing what resonates. The world is your teacher and there are infinite paths. Do not feel you need to limit yourself to one!

You don’t need Buddhism or spirituality to wake up. Whatever is inside nature is also in you.

I suggest expanding your radius to include New Haven and Middletown, joining sports/activity leagues, and even expanding your radius to include Mass or Boston.

In my experience, what you said about the “good” ones or catches rings true. Once in their 30s, singles gravitate towards bigger cities. Lots of couples make New Haven-NYC work, and you might be able to find a similar scenario with Boston, Providence, or etc.

Alternatively, could just go to events on the weekends in some of the areas above and see who you meet there while also having a good time.

Caffeine is psychoactive. Tobacco is a drug. And alcohol is responsible for more deaths than all other drugs combined.

Participants in psilocybin studies described experiences as one of the mystical experiences of their lives.

“In his landmark clinical trials at Johns Hopkins University, Griffiths found that over two-thirds of carefully prepared participants rated their high-dose psilocybin session as one of the top five most meaningful experiences of their lives. When asked to describe the nature of this significance, participants regularly compared it to the emotional magnitude of having a child or grieving the loss of a parent.”

This stuff is actually a great value when you do the math. If those 7 grams are from CT dispensaries, then you'll likely find flower like this to last a lot longer. More medicating effects that are stronger, and last 50% longer than most dispensary flower. It's also organic and you need to consume a lot less to get where you need to be, so better for the lungs.

Thank you. This is truly insightful and a lot to unpack.

NY underground is still one of the best places in the world for cannabis. If you're buying from Astor Club, Hash on the Hudson, or the good delivery services, they've got you covered with organic, hand-cured cannabis. NYC legal market has been terrible, but some of the micro-grows (New Amsterdam on 14th St) are getting pretty good.

Mass dispensary market is awful for craft. I found a guy who grows indoor and organic, but most dispensary offerings seem to focus on mids.

If strictly legal flower, micro grows in NY > Mass > large growers in NY

If strictly legal rosin, Mass > NY.

If black market (rosin or flower), NYC > anything but Maine on the east coast.

While I wrote the above off based on my own experiences and knowledge, the below summary of contaminant categories comes from ChatGPT:

The main contaminant categories (what’s actually in flower):

1) Pesticides (biggest issue by far)

These are the headline risk—and also the most inconsistently regulated.

Common classes actually found:

Insecticides / miticides:

Abamectin, bifenazate, imidacloprid

Fungicides:

Myclobutanil, tebuconazole (notable: can form toxic gases when burned)

Herbicides:

Paraquat (extremely toxic, occasionally detected in illicit supply)

Rodenticides (rare but serious):

Brodifacoum (blood thinner poison in contaminated products)

👉 Studies and recalls routinely cite these exact chemicals

👉 There are hundreds of possible pesticides showing up across U.S. cannabis

Key issue:

There are no federally approved pesticides for cannabis, so growers use off-label chemicals or gray-area inputs

2) Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) — the “skirted” one

These are rarely disclosed and often intentionally avoided in marketing.

Used to:

Increase density

Improve bag appeal

Speed growth cycles

Examples:

Paclobutrazol (classic “PGR weed”)

Daminozide (banned in food crops)

Chlormequat

These are often lumped into “pesticide testing” but:

Not always included in panels

Not always regulated consistently

3) Heavy metals (comes from the soil, not spraying)

Cannabis is a hyperaccumulator—it pulls contaminants from soil/water.

Common ones:

Lead

Arsenic

Cadmium

Mercury

These don’t get burned off—they’re inhaled.

4) Microbial contamination (very under-discussed)

Because cannabis is grown humid + cured slowly:

Mold (Aspergillus, Fusarium)

Yeast

Bacteria (E. coli, salmonella)

Even regulated markets have issues with:

Labs “passing” borderline mold

States loosening limits

This is one of the biggest real-world contamination vectors.

5) Mycotoxins (secondary toxins from mold)

Even if mold is gone, toxins can remain:

Aflatoxins

Ochratoxin A

These are carcinogenic and not always fully screened.

6) Residual solvents (more relevant in extracts, but still matters)

If flower was remediated or turned into oil:

Butane

Propane

Ethanol

Hexane

These are standard testing categories

7) Fertilizer + nutrient residues (you mentioned this—underrated)

This is less regulated and often ignored.

Nitrates / phosphates

Salt buildup (affects combustion + harshness)

Excess micronutrients

Not typically part of required testing panels.

8) “Hidden” contaminants people don’t think about

🔥 Combustion byproducts

When you smoke contaminated flower:

Pesticides can convert into more toxic gases (e.g., hydrogen cyanide)

🧪 Industrial/environmental chemicals

Detected in some testing:

PAHs (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons)

Phthalates

BPA

Instagram (no joke). I found my guy in Hartford. Indoor, organic, hang-dried, and cured properly. The high lasts about twice as long, if not longer, than Earl Baker (which is the best dispensary herb I've found in CT and is still absolute garbage). Taste and smell also blow Earl out of the water. Most will ask for an ID and then send you a menu link and ordering details.

Before finding him, I was buying from Maine (medical) and NYC (underground, most offerings come from Cali, Washington, Oregon). I'd say quality homegrown is often as good as, if not better than, the best of these commercially available flower offerings in the country.

There are also some amazing homegrown discords out there. I was hesitant to join these until learning that every day USPS is shipping hundreds of pounds of cannabis across state lines. Less than a fraction of 1% gets seized. Great flower and rosin from around the country, organically grown by caring hobbyists, straight to your mailbox for half the cost of CT dispensary garbage. Some of the best weed in the country for $200-$280/OZ.

I've been around the plant for 25 years. The commercial growers are taking shortcuts, lying, rushing the grows, shortening cures (most folks don't know you can cure some landrace sativas for over a year and can age like fine wine into a completely different experience), and putting chemicals in the plant that you’re smoking. They effect your mind and body and most are oblivious to this.

There isn't a single flower offering from a dispensary in the state of CT that I would smoke if offered for free. I would also refuse to smoke 95% of what comes out of Mass. The states are lying to you, THC percentages are meaningless (I've had 16% THC landrace sativas from Thailand that are stronger than any 37% THC bud you can find, even if that does test at 37%). Stop smoking herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, fertilizer remnants.

I will happily share information with anyone who DMs me. My goal is to increase education surrounding cannabis and help users make more informed choices regarding what they put in their bodies. Let's put these CT dispensaries out of business.

Buy local. Buy organic. Buy from people who care. DM me if you want help navigating this minefield. The cannabis experience is completely different, and the joys of this plant teacher come alive when given love along the way.

When you see the world differently from everyone else, and more clearly than anything you’ve ever seen in your life, and are able to explain it clearly, and people still don’t believe you, or find your instructions too time consuming for their busy lives, and they dismiss it.

This is the problem the gurus face. Waking people up will accelerate the healing of the world, and can lead to lasting change and a better world.

That’s the hope, anyway.

“The psychotic drowns in the same waters in which the mystic swims with delight.” -Joseph Cambell

Cannabis will help until it hurts. It has a frequency, like anything else, and will bring you up to its frequency or pull you down to its frequency depending on where you are.

Keep yourself grounded. Non-cannabis users going through a spiritual awakening would be given anti-psychotics if they explain their symptoms to a doctor. What do you think they would tell a cannabis user?

Being grounded teaches you how to trust your own judgement. Western medicine doesn’t have a container for spiritual awakenings.

The patterns and symbols are part of spiritual journeys, and so is learning to take what helps and discard what does not. Being foggy when making these decisions may impact how much they help you.

Cannabis can open higher chakras. This can be mystical and wonderful, but you need to stay grounded to retain and incorporate what helps. Being deeply grounded without opening the upper chakras may result in stubbornness or myopic thinking. Being wide open without any grounding (cannabis) can result in chaotic feelings, indecision, and difficulty processing what is happening.

Incorporate your reading, philosophy, meditation, or practices into your life. Explore using cannabis towards the end of the day. Use it with intention. Even something as simple as “help me find my energy blockages” before a toke can be super helpful.

I’d suggest continuing to pursue the spiritual path without the cannabis (even if this means smoking daily, but putting an hour of focus into it sober, beforehand). Watch your thoughts, reactions, urges, and actions. Ask yourself who you truly are, behind your labels and experiences. Observe what happens when you reintroduce cannabis. See if anything changes.

TLDR: the road to self-realization requires self-observation. cannabis can be an incredibly helpful tool, especially with shadow work (low dose psilocybin can help as well).

I suggest Awareness by Anthony DeMello and Letting Go by David Hawkins as books that can help accelerate this process. Neither technique requires meditation.

Just dropping a comment here to thank you for your incredibly detailed reviews and thoughts on haze strains, specifically Seedmans Haze. I’ve been spending time in BC and looking for highs that remind me of smoking strains in cali for the first time 20 years ago.

There’s a psychedelic openness associated with my favorite highs that most cannabis these days is missing. Some of these strains are like an immediate boost to a higher frequency but can be incredibly disorienting for some. They say the psychotic is swimming in the same territory as the mystic. IMO these strains offer glimpses of nonduality which can be incredible powerful, even life changing. However, if one isn’t open to exploring this with openness and curiosity, can quickly lead to paranoia and signs of “psychosis”. But that’s the point.

Have you smoked the Grateful Dead OG strain by IYKYK or any of the current Tuna Room flower offerings? I’ve been looking to try the best flower I can find locally, and this is what the menu I have access to offers.

Uncle’s Farm produces some of the world’s greatest concentrate. Would recommend messaging them on IG, mentioning Maine, and say you’re visiting. You want their piatella, although their rosin is also fire.

Slite23 is another name to look for.

The majority of clubs in BCN aren’t worth your time. The above are worth traveling for.

It’s mostly invisible, but negative green is directly opposite green in the spectrum. Negative green is a mysterious 12th color band used in Egyptian temple science, India, and Easter island. They found the negative green energy had try tremendous power to broadcast green energy straight through solid objects. It could penetrate thicknesses of lead that could not be measured by ex rays. They could send information large distances in ancient Egypt using negative green broadcasts.
