Want to be in the here and now? Try meditating. Weed is a crutch. I smoked it for years, before most of you in here were ever even born, and probably for as long as most of you have been alive. Unless you are a natural, LDing is hard enough without having thc inhibit your thoughts. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of experimentation because experience will most likely be the only teacher that you place faith in, however, drugs and true Lding don't mix.
