Does marijuana help with lucid dreaming?
Without getting too specific (I don't know how the admins feel about discussing the use of marijuana), do any users on the forum feel that smoking before going to bed can help to attain lucidity? I know that it does tend to open the mind up, so it would seem to make sense that it would help you to take control of your mind in the sleeping state. I'm a newbie to LDing, but I (may or may not) have done my fair share of marijuana, and I'm just curious as to what you guys have experienced.
PS. Admins, if this discussion is not allowed, please forgive me and close the thread, I'm just curious as to other people's experiences with marijuana and lucid dreaming.
however, garlic might....
back in the day, when i did that sort of thing, i found it destroyed my ability to become lucid or recall any dreams....i am, however, coming to the conclusion that eating garlic before bed seems to stimulate and enhance dreaming, and hence, recall...i would be curious if anyone has any experience with other foods, herbs, etc, that does the same for them...

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!
