Nothing is definite. I smoke everyday, several times a day, and just before sleep every night. My recall doesn't suffer in the slightest. I guess if you have been smoking as much for as long as I have your body gets used to it. My dreams are often very vivid and completely insane (the way I like them). I can't really say if the weed actually helps (haven't had enough non smoking nights to compare it to), but it isn't hurting either. You can still smoke regularly and lucid dream regularly. I'm proof of that. It just takes practice and putting in the effort to remember your dreams.
Well, nina, he's right. Pot's illegal because the logging industry would loose a ton of money because hemp can be made into paper faster and cheaper. There's always a reason for illegal drugs to be illegal.
As for the original question: pot kills my recall so no, I don't think pot will help you get lucid.
Yeah it's actually pretty amazing how much your recall comes back when you take a break, it's pretty phenomenal. I remember when I went to see my mom in Scotland a couple years ago, I had no choice but to stop because I had no idea where to find any XD. Anyway, I started remembering a good extremely vivid 5 dreams a night and it was amazing!
The fact that pot destroys your recall is it's one and only flaw (in my opinion).
I only smoke about one time a week. So the night I smoke and a day or two after my recall is horrible. But after a few days you get an REM rebound and that night my dreams are amazingly vivid and my recall is awesome. So as long as you don't smoke everyday, then it can help I believe.
Hello everyone, This is my first post but I would like to make a valid point.
Many people who have smoked cannabis while Lucid Dreaming have realized it effects your recall during the nights you have smoked cannabis, it almost leaves a Residue in the mind. You must realize that using cannabis allow you force or Release a REM Rebound. For instance, One Week I smoke Cannabis 3 times a day at least (I am a Medical cannabis user in South California Prop 215) And I have no dream recall at all, but doing this builds up a Rem Bubble, and then next week I do not smoke any cannabis, and by the second night the THC has left my Central Nervous System, and diluted from the blood stream, and then the REM Rebound effect occurs. This effect is incredible in the way that it Creates a wave of vividness. It is honestly a very powerful vividness that you remember apon awakening as if it were moments ago. The rebound effect can last 3 - 7 Days Depending how Big you get the Rem Bubble. This bubble is built up from how long you deprive your conscious mind of your REM. I have been building up a year long rem bubble to see its effect on lucidity, perhaps the most spiritual adventure. I am going to release it next week and Post my results here in a new forum post, follow me if you'd like to see the results of my experiment. But also Try this REM Rebound if you are a cannabis user, Think outside the box, the negative effect of cannabis on the recall of lucid dreams is used to create a period of extreme vividness. Negative turns Positive :) Good Luck All you Dreamers!
