Thread: Cannabis and dreaming

theres something new.
Go seri!

great post indeed!

very nice... I was suprised at the fact it kept my attention the whole time too (I have ADD so it is really hard to read anything long).

I used to smoke pot for a while; still it started affecting my sober life. Pot was good but as soon as I started getting after affects like paranoia and just feeling different, I quit. I don’t think it’s a drug to be taken lightly at all.

Some of my mates do drugs mainly cannabis and XTC in large amounts. They changed loads. This one lad is now on antidepressants because of drugs.

I get pissed and that’s good enough for me.

i love the smell and taste of pot mmmmmm just makes my mouth water, does any1 find that when u first started toking it was alot more fun? for some reason now i get more "bad tripps" off weed now then i did before... possibly its just paranoia its not really a bad tripp i just feel like something really bad is goin to happen and then the heart rate goes up and really freaks me out but im starting to get better at controling it ( keeping ur mind busy always works)

I smoke weed all the time. Hell I love to get high. I can go without if I want to. I don't depend on it. I have not had any side effects that were bad. I've been smokin for about 7 years now. Mostly everyone I know smokes with relatives. I don't see any harm in it. It doesn't seem to affect my dreams. I use weed to relax. Now Xannex's will mess with your dreams. Can't remember shit when I wake up lol. This might be a useless post but I just wanted to share some expeirence(I know I didn't spell that right).

hahaha don't do drugs kids!

Frozen_joth, I too have smoked for a long time, and with family =) my dad dosent any more though, they were hippies

Anyways... like I said.. I thought it didnt effect my dreams and waking life either untill I flushed out my system by going sober for a while... I would really appreciate it if you participated in this experiment as you have been smoking for some time too. This also includes alchohol though.

Have you gone long periods of at least 3 weeks without smoking or drinking? If so did you notice any changes? This really has me interested please let me know.

Yes, I like a good cocktail myself and stay away from drugs. Vodka is my preferred liquor of choice.

But I find that any drug (be it medicine or other junk) or alcohol really imhibits my ability to recall a dream (never mind trying to be lucid).

I'm recovering from a cold and I have to take nightime medicine.. stuff knocks me out hard (which means no recall or LD). :-(

Blissful

i would just like to say that i fucking love to play halo when i'm high, i don't know why but somethin about just makes me wanna play, even though i suck at it. man u guys are lucky with ur families being chill about it, my folks are pretty old school so its got its complications but i don't do it too often so its not too big of a deal, now that i like about it its been like 2 months since my last good high, and and seri the pot says in your system for about 31 days, but if u drink alot of tea, i heard, it gets out quicker.....

EDITED TO MAKE ME LOOK SMARTER: *silence*

You'll most likely relax alot. THe paranoia thing wont come untill you really start smokin alot.

Seriously, under the influence of weed, you just CANT do anything with any sort of strenght or speed... so flipping out and killing people is out of the question because you're just too damn' slow for that.

damn.. all this time I thought I was talking with highly intelectual people..I was wrong


But I could care less

The use of hallucinigenics ,PCP,LSD. They used to test drugs like that on humans at colleges. I understant that it can creat more (for lack of the real terms) brain recepticles. I wonder what effect they would have on the subconcious?

I've been an off and on stoner for about 3 years now. What I've noticed in terms of dreaming is that the more I smoke, the less I remember. As if that's anything new. If you want to go through a time warp, smoke lots of weed every day for a few months. You'll forget most of what you did during that time. So of course, this is true in dreams as well, since for some reason dreams are harder for most people to remember than waking memories. I do find that if I smoke occassionally, and not right before I go to sleep, I often have very creative dreams. But if I am smoking on a regular basis or if I get high and go to sleep soon after, my dream recall is usually shot to hell and lucidity is usually out of the question. If I do become lucid, it's very short and it was a random occurance - not my conscious desire.

Seri, here's some info to back up your theory. There have been a few times since I've become so fascinated with dreams (the past year to year and a half) where I've quit everything (weed, cigs, alcohol) for a few weeks. During these times, I have a serious resurgence of energy. And every morning I wake up with the plots to half my dreams still resounding in my head. It's great! After about a month of quitting, last time, I began to get an extreme frequency of lucids. And they seemed to get progressively longer and more in depth. I was going great actually, but then I started stressing about school too much and was having sleep problems so I went back to smoking. Dumbass. Since then recall and lucidity have been mostly a craps shoot. To consciously induce lucidity, I have to focus pretty intensely before going to sleep. Which I really don't want to do when I'm all nice and comfortable and high in my nice warm bed. It's a very relaxing feeling. You have to love that body buzz you get when you relax while high.

I've done a few other drugs (XTC twice, Mushrooms a few times, Coke a few times, and a good deal of Dextromethorphan - which is the cough suppressant found in Tussin). I can never seem to sleep well after doing any of these drugs. Totally impossible on Shrooms and DXM. I have noticed that a lot of times the day after doing DXM everything will be vibrantly colorful. And that next night I usually have very colorful dreams. I don't remember any of my dreams after shrooming. Too bad, they'd probably be pretty interesting. I find that each different drug spills your subconscious out in its own unique way. This, for me, is the best reason to do drugs. But once you get good enough at lucid dreaming and/or meditation, you don't really need to do drugs for that purpose. Otherwise I find it's mostly for entertainment. But let's say they started opening advanced 3D movie theatres and it was the newest fad everywhere. But then people start finding out that every time you see a 3D movie, you do a small amount of brain damage. This is drugs. Only there are other detriments to drugs, both physical and psychological.

It is true that drugs are bad for you, overall. But they do have some good points too. I used to think only malicious, desperate, or hopeless people did drugs. Until I did drugs (at 22) and realized I was none of those. Then I began to realize that most people I knew in my life had done drugs at some point. Lots of people do drugs. But lots more people do a lot worse things that no one will ever know about. Also good people don't neccessarily do bad things when they're on drugs. Sometimes. However bad people will most likely do bad things on drugs. So maybe all the bad things you hear about as a result of drugs is really a result of bad people in bad situations.

Either way, I don't really recommend drugs or weed or alcohol or cigarettes to anyone for any reason - least of all for dreaming. It's all too easy to lose yourself. So anybody who drinks and/or smokes on a regular basis, definately try Seri's challenge. Seri, I am up for this challenge again. Let me get done with this weeks' madness and I'll start logging data. Anyone else is free to join me and we can compare notes. It could be a community thing. Since we are a community. Isn't that weird? We're a community. But not in the physical. Yet in the real...

Don't worry! I don't smoke! I can get into a state of insanity and being-useless without the aid of narcotics!
