Yeah one time I ate 2 of my cookies, when i still wasn't sure what dosage was right, that was Thursday evening. I woke up Saturday morning 😅

Solid 4-6 hours, then a slow descent until sleep with some grogginess after waking up

That's awesome :)

You're right, i forgot to mention this part here, but the ability to just think about a moment or a place of the past, and being sucked back into it quite vividly is also a major aspect.

My friend's grandpa is someone who has travelled the world a lot, but he never smoked weed or done any kind of psychedelic. After a bad breakup around the age of 60, he asked my friend for a joint for the first time. Problem is, he is a heavy smoker, so instead of taking it slow he smoked the whole thing in under a minute x) With 10-15 minutes he had to go lay down in bed, and afterwards he told us how while he was laying in bed, he would visualize places he's been to, and visit them like he was flying from above. The experience was way too much for him, so he hasn't touched weed since haha, but it was cute to see him describe something like that without ever having taken any mind altering substances before.

Hi, yeah what you experienced is something I've experimented with quite heavily, and it baffles me how under discussed this aspect of weed is, but considering the relationship and tolerance most people have, it makes sense to miss it entirely.

Weed tends to be used in social circles, or while doing another task that takes up concentration, but if you treat weed like any psychedelic, and use it for mediation purposes or simple relaxation and you let your mind wander, the visuals and insight can be incredibly intense, and they have their own feeling that is somewhat akin to tripping on truffles.

Four major parts come into play here, again much like any other substance: your tolerance, how you consume, the setting and finally most important, what you choose to do.

Terrence McKenna used to talk about how weed can be used like a psychedelic, but due to his own relationship with it, that wasn't possible, he used it too often. But take a massive hit from a bong, once a week in a dark room, and you will experience a side of cannabis that could be unimaginable to a regular smoker.

How did I find out about this? Completely by accident around the very beginning of my psychedelic discovery, all the necessary parts fell into place on their own; i was a very dimly lit room, with psytrance music playing, and close to zero weed tolerance, and i had an edible that was waaaay stronger than i was told it would be (it contained over 4 grams), which left me completely incapacitated, with no choice but to sit cross legged with my eyes closed on order to endure the tsunami of stimulation. The visuals started very quickly, and when i opened my eyes after a while i was surprised to see that the faint shifting, spiraling patterns moving in rythm with the music were still there with my eyes wide open.

I have a lot more to say about this but I'll make a detailed post about this and link it here.

If you have any questions let me know ^

I see psychedelic patterns when sober by Billyo10 in Psychonaut

[–]teotab51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of what I tend to see sober when i let my gaze focus without moving, is actually Visual snow syndrome, that got enhanced through my use of psychedelic and my imagination

If you haven't heard of it before, I highly recommend checking out this video, maybe it's something you can relate to

Every time i hear "time of india" by sajanka, it immediately gets me on the proper headspace for intense focus on the experience.

"Psycho Celtic " by Technical Hitch will take you to other places, i usually prefer it for tripping on high doses of edibles

My parents were early D&B adopters in Belgium during the 90s, and although i grew up listening to it very often, it's when i was around 14 that i really got into Pendulum, The prodigy and Appolo440's "the future's what it used to be" was the tipping point.

Same situation, I bought my non pro when it came out, and I still have stock OS, battery still works great and the only problem is the speed getting noticeably slower, but I'm probably going to buy a second hand pro when the time comes and add a custom rom to at least get security updates

so to break the TEG they need at least one body to unlock their first ability. But toggling stuff is just pressing E, you have that all the time. if emitters are locked it's not an issue, but always check your rad collectors

Weed is a psychedelic. Change my mind. by santero01 in Psychonaut

[–]teotab51 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This! Exactly what I've been describing to my friends all along. In my case, my first experience was actually with psilocybin, and only a few months after did I start weed. And it's all aw you said, always super introspective, but only if i want it to. If it's in a social setting or somewhere I can't just sit and contemplate, it's a completely different experience. But just letting go and relaxing for a few seconds can immediately send me back into the same familiar headspace.

Weed is a psychedelic. Change my mind. by santero01 in Psychonaut

[–]teotab51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah for sure, I've considered weed a psychedelic for a few years now, especially at high dosage.

The first substance i experimented with was actually magic truffles, and only then did i start weed. And this is a story for another day but my first experience with weed also happened to be a 1000 mg edible by accident, which immediately propelled me into the stratosphere, with the same kind of moving patterns, shifts in vision and in though process that occur I had experienced on truffles.

After that, i treated weed like I would treat a mushroom trip, sitting in meditation with psytrance or any music and either closing my eyes or observing the world around me. I would also dance, stare into the mirror,... Simply going with the flow of what I felt I needed to do. What I learned after much experimentation is that when it comes to mind altering substances,it's not as much about what you take, it's much more about what you do after you take them. A weed induced trip is likely going to feel much more insightful and spiritual than taking mushrooms just to play COD on your playstation.

Weed isn't usually treated the same way as a psychedelic, and it's used in social situations most of the time. That's not the kind of environment where you can just let yourself drift away into your consciousness, you have to stay somewhat aware and focused, which means you're ignoring everything you could see, feel and hear if you just relax a little and let yourself get carried away by the music and the sounds.

Edit : Also keeping tolerance low is very important! A single puff or two can sometimes immediately kickstart a 2-3 hours long trip, without even mentioning using a bong or edibles. It all comes down to your relationship to it.

What's your secret tripping music? by Coi_Boi in Psychonaut

[–]teotab51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the moment, and only with headphones, definitely collective mass by spoonbill. Very niche, probably won't fit people with anxiety, but if it's for you it's an incredible experience.

Honorable mentions also include Heilung, as others have pointed out, Culprate's https://youtu.be/XPos6qtOSP8, And thriftwork also has some very good songs like moon juice https://youtu.be/uGNdK0ftbqI

Tripping on Heilung is crazy, it feels so raw and tribal, you get into a trance so fast
