Finally, someone speaking about cannabis from a psychological and spiritual point of view. Thank you for this video.

[@autodidact3860]

I used to smoke every day almost for 8 plus years. Stopping it was the best choice for my life at this time. I am more clear minded, I have LESS anxiety and I am back to truly enjoying my life without feeling the need to escape because that is what I was using it for.TO ESCAPE. :D I am WAY to self aware now to use it. :/

[@kayreece96]

Yes i also quit and it would worsen my paranoia and id be overly aware. Its not at all what it used to be for me and im actually very glad i stopped. I feel more myself and more clear headed.

I'm a heavy weed smoker but I feel it's helped me a lot in meditation and learning new skills most hallucinogenics I've tried have. I admit it does affect memory and at a certain point you can make yourself feel high without the physical drug. I feel though if I hadn't started using weed I'd be one of those angry money hungry people.

[@jonndee]

This is so true i have a really high tolorance and i still experience me shifting into dimensions , perfect timing of this video

[@laurab3706]

Spot on! Especially resonated with the glimpses it gives into other dimensions and the ability to delve into and properly address deep seeded issues.

[@Mistral434]

These friends of yours who “degraded”... were they spiritually and intellectually active? Because many potheads smoke to escape, to just forget themselves. But others do it to relieve stress, often from an overactive mind. And the effects of longterm consistent use vary drastically between these two types. I know many potheads who indeed have let themselves go in many ways. But I know others who smoke all day long, but are very, very spiritually active and quite sharp too. Bottom line with weed, is that there are cannabinoid receptors in every part of your body, skin, bones, muscle, heart, brain, and it affects everyone differently. There are very few generalities that can be applied across the board.

[@boriswc1997]

Exactly my case specially about the overactive mind since I have ADHD my mind races and cannabis and meditation (together or by themselves) help me quiet it

[@Iabyriinth]

@@boriswc1997 I can confirm these benefits too.

[@ShaneH8633]

Nailed it, its a stress relieve for myself, but it also supercharged my thoughts & the flow of them, maybe that's the channel aspect that ryan mentioned.

[@rain-wj6vv]

Ughh, Soooo Arcuate!!!! More people need to understand this!!!

[@rachellarsen6112]

Agreed! It's all about intention. If you smoke to escape, you will be less attentive. If you smoke in order to improve yourself and connect with your spiritual consciousness, that is what will happen. Personally, it's expanded my life in continuous and amazing ways. I always set an intention beforehand and receive that intention. It's helped me gain clarity in my personal life, and helped me set goals and accomplish more than I ever thought in my career. It's helped me to become more loving towards myself, and others, and the entire world -- which is all one. It's different for different people. It's not one way or the other. Definitely something that everyone needs to realize

[@court9375]

Ryan, I have been following you for a long time and I want to thank you for the information you put out. I’ve been on a spiritual journey for about two years but my daily marijuana usage started 6 years ago. I finally have decided to stop. When you said smoking every day slows you down, it resonated with me. I realize truly that it is a psychedelic and should be used with caution. Today is my day #1 of no more smoking!! Thanks again Ryan 😃❤️

[@hugo8789]

Courtney did it help?

[@LD-se8nz]

Ryan, I am SO happy to have come across this video. This is exactly what I've been saying for a while now. It is definitely a psychedelic, but unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be respected as one. I believe we need to re-evaluate how we look at this plant medicine and use it accordingly. Thank you for your endless supply of information and insight

[@himynameismeep]

This was a fantastic video. You present yourself so well and I don't feel somewhat overwhelmed like other channels I've watched. Incredible insight, Ryan.

[@n.9411]

VERY interesting that you bring this up now. I am just coming out of a 2.5 month daily Canabis experiment with propper home grown and nourished with spiritual prepared water and just quit shortly before attending an intense Qi Kung workshop during the fall equinox. It is as you say. There are pros using it consciously to change or enrich perspectives. Clear downsides with daily usage: damage of nervous system, blank dreams, becoming unbalanced ie too much yin. I became a different personality and as I just reset i see the impacts very clear. Mostly negative but occasionall concurs use may be ok

[@child7328]

Yall should try not smoking cannibus instead try just ingesting cannibus via edibles or cannabis oil, WAAAAAAYYYYY BETTER RESULTS, a lot less issues, and your higher longer. LATER.

[@Jac-Johan]

cannabis

[@ConspiracyFactualist]

Not for me. Puts me to sleep and I'm useless the next morning. I smoke every night and no issue in the a.m. We all have a different chemical balance, so just b.c. I can function as normal on it doesn't mean we all can. Edibles work for my friends but not me. But smoking makes them really slow. But slows my mind down just enough to make sense to them when sober. My mind just goes to fast.

[@JamR2123]

About 3 weeks clean from cannabis . I thought I had a deeper connection spiritually smoking daily .Wow what a joke that was, vegan really helped with quitting as well I get high naturally. Your third eye can stay open. Also I have greater clarity as well as my dreaming life coming back. Soo many benefits to dropping the habit. Its not all bad though I first got awakened from smoking with a long term buddy, even found this channel during my spree lol. Ill end it with this let nothing stand in the way of your growth. Much love people thanks for the vid ryan.

[@JamR2123]

Yess!! It for sure is an awakening tool, at least in my experience. I wouldn't have gotten as deep in spirituality without it. I think its very powerfully more than people realize. To put it plain it can mess with your head. Grateful for the plant but even more grateful that I put it down and applied the beneficial knowledge that it led me to via people, thoughts and places. Thanks for the reply Much Love :)

[@JamR2123]

Thats good that you've used it for healing yourself. I've noticed peers get complacent with the awe that it brings. Also Ive noticed the higher you vibrate naturally the more the cannabis can show you.

[@OhNoRayGun1990]

I was smoking 6 months everyday and I got clean, and it was the best thing it happened to me, but I want to say I want to say cannabis can be useful in the beginning,but after some time it does not use you, it works bad on you, and hypnotises you, it helped a lot in beginning but It was only first I would say 10-15 days, but if you want to smoke it, do it only couple of times and quit, don't abuse it will be bad for you, I thought and spoke everything good about it cures this it is good bla bla , but beneficial part of cannabis is cbd oil, but after I saw that I was abusing it and i couldn't function without and I was addicted I needed to find away to quit cannabis abuse

[@JamR2123]

@@OhNoRayGun1990 Couldn't have said it better. I was also one of those guys who always promoted it recklessly and that was kind of ignorant of me. I have experimented with CBD too only a few times a while back. It actually helped with my ADHD symptoms. Seems like that should be a lot more widespread than the THC.

[@OhNoRayGun1990]

UniversalJamarr yeah man me too, was saying weed is healthy smoke it bla bla, but there was hidden bad negatives from it, I am grateful that I recovered from memory problems and stuff like that, you know I got so addicted but wasn't smoking too much daily but still, I needed to take magic mushrooms to treat addiction and It cured me, after that couple of times did weed, but I hate it now, it doesn't come anymore anything good out of that, only bad things happenes to me on that, so people switch to CBD if you really want to experience benefits of cannabis

[@Allyson6C]

This is an accurate description of what I’ve always believed cannabis to do. I’ve always said that it can raise a person’s frequency, lower it or it can do both. The plant has its own frequency and if it has an equal or higher frequency that what a person’s is at the time of ingestion, then the experience will bring out desirable effects and enjoyable behaviors that we already embody. It can also have opposite effects too based on the plants frequency as opposed to the person’s. Love this!

[@Bingeworthy]

I have been trying to understand this fo years!! Ppl dismissed it as laced but both times I tried I was the ONLY “GOING CRAZY” and the second time I took notes and those notes are still me but a more intense version of me and I know for a fact I saw things I wasn’t supposed to see but it felt like these being weren’t visiting they were comfortable and confused by me being weird....

When I smoked weed it affected me in a crazy way. It’s a lot to explain but my friends said they’ve never seen anything like it. They said it’s like I was on mushrooms or some stronger drug. It was a awesome and crazy experience. It done it twice. It’s similar to this. The way you explained it is good... ITS LIKE IT MADE ME SEE REALITY AND MYSELF ON THE PUREST, MOST TRUE LEVEL.

[@seanadkisson582]

Ive smoked cannabis daily for more than 10 years. During the early part of my spiritual development (like the first year or two i was studying psychology and the 3rd eye) i used it to induce a deep trance very quickly. (I also used the same technique to learn piano quickly, programming my muscle memory while in trance). Hypnotists will tell you being in a trance on weed will not produce the best results for subconscious change but it did get me pretty far. Now i find myself coming closer to where i want to be but the rest of the work ill be doing on myself will require massive action which is exactly what you dont want to do on weed. It can take you very far but you have to understand, when its time to put in the effort, weed will only drain your willpower.

[@dharmabumpoetess]

This was very helpful Ryan. I use to be a long term everyday smoker of the herb, and after a while the positive effects turned into terribly negative ones and i wondered why. I quit but occasionally smoke, however your video opened my eyes a lot. I’ll be re-analyzing my use of it

I was literally thinking about smoking before I came across this video! I've cut down on my use quite a bit, but still occasionally use it to help me sleep or relax. I've found as an adult, using it everyday (like you said) now makes me anxious when it use to only make my hungry/tired. I think you are right though, it only heightens what you already feel or need... whether it be food, rest, sex, or feeling anxious.

[@Cucu22DR]

I had an experience with Cannabis, i wouldn't call it a bad trip... While lying in bed with my eyes closed I could feel myself being fragmented and sort of seeing the patterns described by people who take DMT and also I was shifting in and out of people like I would jump from person to person like when you dream and see yourself as someone else. I must have jumped into 5 or 6 people before I realized what was happening. Never had an experience like that ever since. I haven't taken any substance that alter the mind in a long time anyway. Just good old meditation.

Thanks for sharing man. Been hoping you'd do a video like this for about a year and a half. Very insightful.

[@steffany209]

When you decide to smoke again in the 4 to 6 days, you should study the different strains of weed and the differences they do to you. This was a very good video. I use to smoke every day when I was in high school and now 8 years later, I can tell what it has done to my mind and memory. I do it every once in a while these days, but if I have a lot on me, its hard not to do it every day. I wish I could be as aware as you are. Some of your experiences sound a bit scary but I dont want it stop me from growing. You're an inspiration Ryan. Cant wait for the next video!

[@Koifish534]

i totally agree with your standpoint and i love how calm you are with your delivery !

[@Aliyash]

i never stopped dreaming even tho been smoking for many years on a daily..i'd say my dreams got way more vivid and far out. mm been observing same things as you just mentioned and been building and enhancing certain qualities of mine within different characters, not to mention coming to an understanding about many aspects of my unconscious behaviour, patterns, traumas, thoughts and healing them in various ways , also as channeling, meditating and practicing working with energy and senses on many levels. i loved that u mentioned gangsta mentality coming with it, very true, found myself there too and sorta decided to keep it due to my ongoing teenage aspirations ;D i do not say smoking on a daily is the answer, without a contrast experiences loose value and in order to appreciate this great psychedelic tool, it is healthy to choose smoking less often than not. having long term pause from weed gave me a great opportunity to integrate all those enhanced learnings in sober life and re-new my whole social life and create new structures on dealing with different situations. i feel very satisfied to hear you speaking in this vid so profoundly about your experiences, really admiring your honesty and intelligence.

[@leximarie3256]

This is very true! It's known to have psychoactive properties so I don't know why it's grouped with tobacco. I used to smoke 3 or 4 times a day cause I had really bad depression, did that for maybe 2 years and then all of the sudden began getting highly paranoid... I stopped for a year, and it's weird because now I do it every here and there and I'm okay. I've done lots of research and observing and it 100% magnifies your thoughts! Sometimes comparable to Lsd for that reason! I feel like it also allows me to see the world and it's energies for what they really are. Hence why I loveee being in nature while I'm high, love being around and observing all the other life in different forms

[@MimiChristopher]

i've heard that if your vibration is higher than the plant you're more likely to get paranoid

[@lindamavimbela2744]

One consistent observation I've made about ppl(employed) who smoke weed, they are very tidy. Another is that their beliefs are FIXED, you can't change their mind on something they believe a certain way.

[@magnus9985]

Ryan I would really like to hear what you have to say on the topic of grounding yourself. When I smoke I have incredible psychedelic experiences and it's been very useful to me, but I also get really ungrounded. Not really paranoid, but my voice gets tight and my mind gets cloudy to the point where I can hardly hold a conversation. I've noticed that the weed just amplifies this feeling that I already have to varying degrees when I'm sober. I have days where communication is difficult and my thoughts aren't very fluid, but I also have days where I'm fine. Thanks 😉

[@patonle]

I've been using cannabis 5 years now and i am finally stopping and rebuilding my life the way I want it :) possible use in the future ceremonialy as you are however but never again habitually... it stops you feeling you.. much love!

[@BlackTubers]

I smoked cannabis for 25 years. I smoked up to 14g/day. I am 461 days smoke/cannabis free today. This is the most sober I've been since I was a pre-teen. I am not anti cannabis, but I am glad I have stopped for multiple reasons. It was good at first. Actually, it was bloody awesome for at least ten years. I was a social smoker, passing the joint around friends. I found it to be an *amplifier* of my current mode (or mood). I learned this in my late teens. If I was happy when I started, I'd be extremely happy after cannabis. If I was unhappy when I started, I'd be moody and depressed after cannabis. This amplification property is an absolute gem of a tool when used appropriately. Sensi Star is probably the most hallucinogenic strain I have smoked; I was seeing things that were not there all of the time for around 9 weeks - I had about 5 ounces and grew it myself so I know it was clean. When I became a heavy user, daily solitary toker, sun up til sun up, things changed for the worst. I'll probably never take cannabis again; or at least I am not at a stage in my life where it is warranted. The party is over, for now. I do not miss the residual foggy sensation derived from consistent abuse, but I do miss the *'extrasensory'* aspects that were *mind* *altering*

[@BlackTubers]

Three tokes on a joint of Super Silver Haze or Amnesia Haze makes me a excellent snooker player. Any more than that and I'm as terrible as if I never smoked any or smoked wayyyyy too much.

I’ve had many experiences with weed now that I stopped smoking on an every day basis, I try to only use it to become more aware or during meditation, I’ve seen a faerie before while high, and unfortunately it also makes me very open to negative energies so I have to be careful with it but yeah you aren’t the only one 🙇🏽‍♀️✨

What a cool story, love the dimensions part. I’d like to hear your next cannabis adventure! 🔥

[@saber5401]

As an empath, I found that cannabis made me more recluse, at the same time my experience was not like it was described, I don’t feel hungry or make me want to laugh. Instead I felt a flow of creativity in my life, as a musician I was able to actually finish projects in one sitting. I’m not able to go back and working on something that was already started, I have the urge to always create something new. Outside of being under the influence and not being productive in some form I prefer to stay sober. I believe that the feeling of paranoia is a cause and effect, in our time in many places we are conditioned that irbid something illegal thus creating that feeling of paranoia. If you don’t practice moderation in your life it will always have some form of negative reaction or effect in your life. It is always incredible to me that a few entities through time have managed to instill ideas for all humanity on something they never had a right to decide. Nature was there before we were, industrialism has so much to blame for some poor decision making by the group of individuals that have no self control and feel they need to control others. We are seeing a growth in this behavior lately thus creating some strong ripple effect across the cosmos. Just a thought! Peace...

[@MichaelLittle47]

The primary effect of cannabis, in my opinion, is that it creates a very heightened awareness/focus regarding one's own thoughts. There are other, more physiological, effects as well, but the mental (or psychedelic) portion is in the exaggerated awareness of thinking.

[@tennisrox505]

OH MY GOD I cannot believe the way you just explained how you were going into another dimension. I have had that exact experience only once before and it was the very first time I got high. I was also very young and naive at the time. But I literally described it as every time I blinked it was like I was seeing another dimension and then it'd be back to reality. I thought I was dying. I didn't have any spiritual understanding at that point and was questioning what was out there and it was the most terrifying experience of my life. If this is what it was that would make soooo much sense because I do have gifts but I had yet to unlock them

[@katomane6116]

It’s all about intention and awareness. What happens to each person is a product of each person , results vary. I personally LOVE CANNIBIS and smoke at Will. However I don’t like the fog it gives when I’m naturally High/Intune. Other times it helps stop momentum on the mind and instantly brings me to a higher state of awareness. Where as your friends became slow because of unawareness. I, myself become “calm” and effortless. Which can be perceived as slow. But as you know I’m sure “Silence is Golden” . *I smoke every day for years and take breaks At Will. 1-3days, 1-3 weeks, or 1-3 months . Whatever I feel I want/need.

[@AlexG5622]

Kato Mane I experienced the same thing and just quit smoking all together until I stumbled upon dry herb vaporizers. I purchased one and started using it 1-2 times a month and I don’t feel mentally/spiritually sluggish and brain fog went away. The high you get is way different than smoking but it’s essentially a more clear headed and conscious high and it’s amazing.

[@thezendevil7106]

[@benacewoofstorm]

What you mentioned in the end of the video made sense and its tru for me i notice a huge difference in my ego belief when i started smoking ,before it was easier to detach myself from my ego before smoking and 6 months later of smoking my consciousness just drop dead felt like a dam zombie and my ego overtook me i started to believe so hard on this me, it became harder and harder to come back home . But now feeling alot better it will take time but i know i will heal and eventually get the strength to cause my ego death .

[@basementfungus]

But can we also consider the medicinal value of marijuana? Every person reacts to the substance differently, and there are a lot of people who need it to function properly. Cannabis is an all natural alternative to having to take a bunch of pills everyday, and that's really important to a lot of people

[@indigojamie5950]

When you tell yourself you need it to function you become completely dependent on it. It's an addicts choice of words. "I need this alcohol to be out going" "I cant live without blahblahblahblah" "It makes me calm"

[@tintintin070]

i always feel like weed affects me on a completely different level than it does most people around me. i feel like i'm tripping out while others feel happy and mildly sedated. i think it just has to do with how receptive you are to different areas of consciousness or whatever you want to call it

[@pappaperc4286]

I find that when I smoke every day, it makes me less spiritual, but if I smoke once or twice a month, it increases my spirituality and curiosity to extreme amounts. It gives me very very very profound realizations about reality, but ONLY when it is not used on a regular basis.

[@pappaperc4286]

Btw I agree so much that cannabis is a psychedelic!!!

[@mr.neqtan]

Why do we have an endogenous cannabinoid system? Through thousands of years of use, we evolved these receptors? None the less. Cannabis is as relevant to the human condition as eating. It's not as productive medically via smoke. Oral ingestion is found to be best. Of course balance and intention are important. Getting high isn't the point.

I smoked for several years consistently then after i started to awaken it turned me paranoid and anxious and i was like whoa this use to make me calm down ( i struggle w anxiety anyway and it used to help but then started doin the opposite) i gave up it was no longer fun or useful to me and ive tried here and there to see if it's any different but its like theres this voice in my head saying stop.

[@shamillion2340]

This exactly how it happened for me as well! And whenever I rarely do smoke ''To see if it's fine this time''. I ALWAYS get left with the same feelings/thoughts that when I smoke I'm off-track, when I don't I am on the right path and life just seems supportive and fun.

[@dharmabumpoetess]

I relate to your comment word for word. I also use to use it to help my anxiety and then it started causing it. Im really interested in learning why further. I think it must have overloaded my empathy levels. You’re not alone

[@DwyaneWadeCounty]

@@dharmabumpoetess same thing with me. Like, what the hell is going on?

[@WhatIKnw]

Lmao “hey it’s laced” haha that’s actually funny as hell somebody would say that

[@wakyjackie1287]

I have been going back and forth for the last month as to whether I should stop smoking weed or not. my argument has been that I feel so clear with my empathic abilities when I'm stoned I don't feel high I feel clear. in fact I've only taken one other drug in my life and it did the same thing to me, extreme clarity. I can talk to my higher self, to my twin flamewithout doubting my abilities. I can meditate so much longer. I trust my intuition completely when im baked. I've heightened my spiritual awareness and personal vibration, it helped me to purge all the emotional trauma that I had been avoiding this year. Everything in moderation for sure but it has definatly been so helpful. I've been questioning whether to stop smoking because I'd like to learn to clear my mind on my own more.thank you for putting this up. it was answer I've been needing. :)

[@hugo8789]

wakyjackie 1 I'm at the same place, I don't know if I should quit. It has helped me but I don't know if I'm abusing it.

[@BBTheCancelled]

I couldn't disagree more. While it can act as an amplifier for awareness, it also puts you into a meditative state. The human endocannabinoid system is activated either by cannabis or by meditation. Paranoia is a side effect or indication of not having worked something out. It's pointing you to an area where you're vulnerable. It's a tool and an invaluable one. It's not even close to tobacco except that you can smoke it. It can replace harmful antidepressants and opiates but I'm not commenting to sing the virtues of it, I only wish to point out that it does more good to the psyche than harm. This is the very first time I've heard of anyone switching into characters. Since you swear it wasn't laced I can only think with your low tolerance you must have ingested too much sativa THC and hallucinated. For me, it's been invaluable in opening blocked memories and startling epiphanies and revelations. I know nothing about kundalini or if it's real. All I know is that I'm waking up or going crazy and I'm told I'm absolutely not the latter. I'm a calm, happy-go-lucky woman who's turned into a raging b*tch who's locked herself in her home to protect her friends. lol I'm also what people call very "intuitive" but I hate that E word that sounds too precious. I know I can't smoke when going out because it makes me too sensitive; too aware and right now I'll snap if I walk by someone really evil lol. I don't mean I'd hurt them but I'd probably give them a verbal slap and really look nutty ;) Namaste, friend!

[@dz44011]

Man . Canabis has been a great experience for me as it helped me overcome my paranoia and insecurities. It made me look back to all my childhood traumas and pick them apart freeing me from my self :3 . I would defenitly recomend it for people who feel like they have been ignoring their problems and/or are insecure about certain things

[@adrianjaimes5059]

I needed to hear this.

[@ShaneH8633]

15 years of daily use nearly everyday for me, never made me slow thought but i am removing that addiction as i do see & feel the negative side effects of long term use..Working on myself & want to use it only as a tool.

[@ghostinameatsuit4654]

I was in a nasty place emotionally last year that threw me into PTSD, depression and extreme rage issues. Smoking weed helped (I thought) and I became dependent on it. Now I'm realizing it isn't such a positive thing in such excess. I'm trying to wean myself off of it to a much more occasional user. Wish me luck, this is another piece of my journey. 🤞

[@Illuminated-du4ci]

The first few days are hard, by day three you’ll have an awful night trying to sleep. After a week or so it passes. Good luck!

[@natalierodriguez1787]

I definitely agree when he said he heightens who you already are because I myself am very active and when I smoke I am ready to get my day started and things done but I do have friends that are in a depressed or lazy state of mind and they definitely feel that more smoking.. interesting because I never thought of cannabis in that way

[@OfficialTahvoGaming]

I smoke and long story short it became a habit. I plan on stopping but weird thing is I never stopped having dreams and I remember almost everyone. It hasn't really changed me the way I see that it did to my friends. But that's the reason I'm going to stop so I can show them and we are very close so one thing effects us all. I can say it definitely is slowing me down though and I use it to get away from certain emotions. I've been meditating a lot more recently, actually it's a habit now too and I think that should help me control my emotions better. This video helped though thank you very much Ryan

[@jacobryan198527]

If you live in a state that is legal get the strain (Strawberry Cough) or (Durban Poison). It helped me focus a lot more than being sober. Literally will make you focus on everything you think of.

[@danwilkinson2797]

I have smoked this Cannabis for 30 years and I agree but would like to add there are big differences in strains. Often people get hybrids that combine different effects sacrificing the unique effects of each strain individually. Land race strains are the parents of most Cannabis found on the market today. for a more psychedelic experience try eating it. The effects of edibles are strain specific as well but in general more psychedelic.

[@TehPompkinHead]

Yeah man, when I get high while listening to kryon or Abraham hicks it's like they're talking directly to me, now it happens when I'm sober, also if I'm just watching whatever I can read the people I'm watching (maybe?) but sometimes it feels like I'm communicating with their energy or something like that

[@KraftyUk]

When I was 18 I quit cannabis and used meditation to get over the withdrawal symptoms. Long story short I had an oobe but when I realised what happened I was pulled back into my body and for the past 19 years I'm still trying to astral project. I have the 10 step coarse, I'm in a week and have had several Vibrations but still can't leave my body yet.

[@TaylorMeadowSun]

Yes! It can bring our awareness to patterns and perspectives we’ve been living by. Albeit -very intense at times!!!! Eeeee!

[@TheAltie]

basically depending on your external and internal state and life direction/career path it can assit, detrack or just change things up. id say always keep an eye on your health and keep reflecting on if its serving you as supposed to syphoning from you, you might find that this goes back n forth. And avoid becoming dependant on it and don't worry about it too much if you already are. from observation and experience the hardest thing about quitting cannabis is that its easy to do.... which makes it easy to start again too. negative effects tend to reverse by themselves and pretty quickly but thats coming from the point of view that all cannabis does is amplify your state of being, this probably means you use up more energy just existing while your "high" hence the sleepiness and lethargy with back to back use plus munchies

[@ramses43211]

it enhances your senses, and dulls them when you’re down

[@tehuti3315]

A vid on how to overcome addictions//how to properly use pattern recognition??

[@KDances]

All in balance. There is a receptor in our bodies and it can be used to help cure disease so I think if you think of it simply as vitamin d or something like that where you can be deficient that cannabis can be used in that way. I'm not too researched but I think that to keep the body in optimal health the components of cannabis are part of the equation of what's needed to keep the system working the best it can. When it comes to how much and often I really don't know, it could be very important or similar to vitamin c and stuff like that. I THINK I've read that there's a receptor in the brain for cannabis so it's possible to balance the mental systems and possibly nervous system, etc that cannabis is part of balanced brain food. Also it totally depends on the experience you want in your life. Some monks live solely on air and have trained themselves for that. But I think for the majority of people it's helpful to balance the physical systems. Like anything else overuse isn't good. Chronically ill people may need more at once than people who are healthy. But even for healthy people I think it should be thought of simply as a part of a healthy diet. Cannabis toxicity is a thing. If used as a tool to escape I think a healthier and happier lifestyle would be better, but I respect everyone's free will and journeys, just think they deserve to be truly happy and not dependant on things to be. Like other "trips" intention is huge. If you just let yourself go wherever and are with people who are playing with self torture ideations..wellll....but if it's smoked and the belief is its a sacred plant that is going into your energy and healing things within you and you allow and trust that, it would probably be a much more beneficial experience. Much love! I'm learning too so correct me if you know.

[@mingozzz1]

Really awesome video. Thanks for this. May i offer an opinion? You may have missed the point of why weed gave the realization of a loss of control in terms of assuming a character. It shows you just how little control we actually have. It may not be noticed until moving from one state into another. Peace

[@monag1906]

Great video. Question: the green being with the four arms, was it sucking energy from you? Your description sounded like it was taking the "pink energy" from you.

[@OK-ib8sf]

I’m super excited for October. Never been so happy to be a Gemini.

[@gilbertsalians6463]

I've had a similar experience. In my younger years I smoked all the time... Asi got older I didn't feel a need for it.. Well once I became self aware I tried it again... And this time I was able to see the merkaba around me...

[@spiritualjourney5846]

your awesome Ryan , love your new energy 💕🇦🇺

[@nightcoreplus2792]

Well said noble friend!

[@covemitchell7110]

That clap just scared the hell out of me while I was so calm listening to this while playing games haha. :D

[@purpledallas3165]

Weed makes me paranoid as well that's why I quit smoking it after 13 years. Initially, it didn't make me paranoid but over time it did and yes I definitely used it for escapism.

[@hamidman6974]

When I use weed, my third eye opens up and I feel waves of love/sweetness in my body. By third eye open up I mean: I can see/feel with my eyes closed, see other people's astral/etheric/energetic body (I don't know which one exactly) - it's scary for me. I can see the pleasure energy or something like that. 4 times I lost consciousness, out of the blue. For 1-2 hours. When I got back, it really felt as if I got back and that I was out. In a normal sober state, I can see other people's body with my eyes closed only if hugging.

[@renren5605]

Consistent can be every singel week as well just a general pattern that isnt missed.
