Okay so I do not currently smoke maryjane regularly now. But when i was younger of course i would experiment (to say the least). I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced the intense opening of different doors in your brain..I mean i used to turn into Aristotle at times, analyzing theories, creating new theories, coming up with skits and scenerios....I mean i felt like my brain accessed another level...And depending on i was with and my environment, things varied....Until i my early 20's when it was way too much for me to handle, I would be perceptive to too much it was uncomfortable...Like i thought i was CRAZY, or at least the world was...lol (well later to find out that its all true)  But yea my intense heightened sense of things made me know i was different than others..Later i read that marijuana stimulates mental illness or speeds it up i dont rtemember exactly, i just found it super interesting. but yea i had to stop and do not enjoy it because how maybe 'clear' i see everything? I dont know? Just wondering if anyone has any good Weed stories or experiences similar to what i am speaking of. |

There's no point in smoking marijuana. I, for one, am not about to subject my wonderful mind to something that has the potential to dumb me down. I enjoy being intelligent, thank you very much. Some of my friends are potheads, but they're stuck in the same old circles with the same old friends who don't push themselves or others to live to their full potential. They're perfectly okay with just sitting there, wasting their lives away smoking their pot. It's very sad because some of these people have the potential to create new empires and really do and be something in this world, but their pot-smoking is holding them back exponentially. It's rare to find a well-paying job that doesn't drug test, not to mention the many risks of having something on your federal record. Weed is not worth the time or money, and I have yet to meet a respectable pothead. I know more potheads than I can count. |

I have smoked pot twice, and both times I disliked it. I'm with trance city in that it does dumb me down, and I pride my self on my intelligence. Without my intelligence, I would feel completely useless. I have yet to see any studies that say pot has any adverse effects outside of laziness and getting fat(I have seen studies that show it makes you hungry). |

Krysty2, did you record your insights while you were high? I know that some people, especially creative types such as artists, poets, and musicians, believe that marijuana and some other drugs heighten their senses and promote their creativity, but I have also been around people who were high when I was not, and I must say that I did not notice any particular spike in brilliance. Do the insights and perceptions experienced while high have the same significance once the high wears off? |

I'm in the exact situation you once were before. I smoke pot quite regularaly and feel this way about it... If with the right creative people it can lead to immense conversations about wild eclectic subjects and thoughts and observations of the universe, people, love, anything... But, I am in a situation where none of my friends are ENFPs, and, like most of you, (or as far as I can tell,) often feel alone in my maniacle ponderings... Some of my friends will exclaim 'Yes'!' or nod, whilst some might think I'm completely mad or delusional... And I can go on forever.
AND JUST LIKE YOU I have thought I might go insane. Honest to goodness. I do think I should stop...
But it's really a moderation thing.
Though addictive personality's have trouble with moderation, and so it seems to be some way of dealing with my feeling of being very different than most people... Well, like I said, I often feel that way... |

And I have plenty of records of my insights whilst high.
One time, on a mushroom trip...
Mush induces a sort of madness in ENFP's... Where all these thoughts we have, the depth we go in deciphering them etc... Our intuition etc... Is exponantially amplified to a point where it can feel like insanity.
Sometimes.
Other times it is COMPLETELY insightful and recolutionary....
I write.
So once, when I had the madness, I stumbled home and spent 3-4 hours ''Searching for the Truth.'' Going through piles of my poetry, circling words, adding in notes, conecting, deciphering, searching for TRUTH... What the true truths are, etc....
Making lists, you name it. I was MAD.
Eternal truths:
Eternity
Circular
Madness
Peace
Nature
Truth's truth
I'll fetch the papers later and share more if people are interested... This is off the top of my head. |

I've smoked pot a couple of times, the first time I just got really chill, but it was not an experience I was really willing to pay money for, the second time I burned my lungs a little, I've been avoiding it since then, I'm a singer and I can't afford to let that stuff get messed up |

So, what a great post to sneak back in on with all my favorite people. To break the sin of the norm of conversation with a slide of wisdom which may be misconstrued as something else. Ooh yeah! (In the voice of the Kool-Aid guy)
I spent Jr high and the first half of my high school years as a stoner, acid head, pill popping, drinking for the next level of human experience type of person because I knew there was something new just beyond that next step in the wall that my will could endure if only I could only go just a little further in the realm of self discovery... till I got bored with the whole thing and moved on.
These days I only smoke every now and then for stress release... and just for the sinful taboo of it, to spite everone who told me otherwise. Its a double edge sword because I loose the ability to read people and it drives me nuts not to be able to be able to swim in the social pools. I become super interverted and bit too much introspective for my tast I come up with great literary ideas and mind blowing epiphanies which is a days on hard on when put to paper...but I forget how to read and write
I have to agree, smoking too much is like every over vice. A drain on the brain and social skills, but every now and then is a plus to simple things in life... take the pipe just like you would aspirin |

I used to smoke pot when I was younger. It does enhance yours senses. Music sounds better. Food tastes better. You do think you're coming up with all of these great thoughts, but in reality you are just a babbling idiot. But, if I did too much I became paranoid. It does take away all motivation. In fact, in almost makes you less motivated permanently. You just want to hang and chill. For some reason, I always lose weight when I am smoking pot. And even though it seemed to make me a little horny, I found pot heads are some of the least "kinky" people around. I think everyone has a favorite vice. If your vice is pot, it is a completely different high from something like cocaine or even alcohol. And it seems to attract different people than the people who maybe watch a lot of porn. (That's my impression -- I could be wrong about that.) There's a kind of innocent goofiness to a pot head. But I haven't done it in a long time and I've heard the stuff now is much stronger. |

Had it once as a teenager, and again a couple years ago. Both times it was worthless. It didn't "open me up" at all. The first time it just made me paranoid, and the second time I didn't notice any effects, positive or negative. I'd rather not burn up any more brain cells on something that doesn't even give me any benefits. |

I also used to be a big druggee. Never really smoked much pot; Mostly acid-head but really almost all hallucinogens, empathogens, and a fair bit of dissociatives (I was thinking: should I write this in a public forum? But I am pretty open about it in person and if this comes as a surprise to any three letter agencies that care about this then they really aren't doing their jobs very well). I had some really amazing, excellent times and also some really dreadful times. And yes it definitely opened some doors! It very literally changed my existence. I would not be the person I am without those experiences. But it also got to the point where all I did with my life was do drugs. I lost most of my creativity and definitely couldn't finish anything. I was unhappy. So I stopped.
I guess now I would say that yeah it is possible that you can get something inspirational out of your trips, even just being occasionally stoned. But to make any use of it you gotta spend some time back on Earth. At least that is the way I seem to operate anyway. Otherwise drugs just lead to more drugs. |

Once, I got high on white out in fourth grade, by accident, because I insisted on using pens, and I had a problem with hording office supplies (I thought they'd be useful). I don't remember anything, but I'm told I was tripping out the whole time.
Admittedly, I actually really like the drowsy effect some cough syrups cause, but I don't actively seek out a high or anything. It's just really freaking amusing when you feel like total crap and your head is spinning involuntarily.
I like to DJ on rare occasion when I find willing guinea pigs to flay with decent music (ie, trance). They turn into random drug-free raves where no one knows what's going on. On the bright side, everyone loves glow sticks in abundance (HA, pun). |

It's true!!! It's because I've been on "that other forum" and some of the people are there Do seem so kinky and completely different from anyone I have ever hung around. Honestly, I don't like them at all. I think along with being kinky, they are mean and defensive. But I was so surprised there are people like this, when I've never been around people like that. I'm not from a religious family. My parents ran with a wild crowd and most of their friends children were older than me and hippies. I went to a huge "party school." Yet, I have never been around people like that. People who brag about having "fucked so many people." And people who brag about having open relationships. Who think it's great they don't have AIDS yet. They are totally foreign to me. I have been trying to figure out why and I started to think it is the "drug of choice" thing. The people I hang around, kinky sex is not their drug of choice. And I think sex can go from being something beautiful you share with the person you love, to being an unhealthy fixation and just like a drug to some people. So, I had been thinking about this before I made this comment.
You can tell a lot about a person by their drug of choice. |

I feel you WilliamPoulin, and I am interested in what else you wrote...I can connect with your whole list and "circular" very interesting, in every single culture/religion, its sited that circular objects are key, i remember reading about near death experiences, and metaphysics and mandalas play a very important role. Wow I am at work and i cannot get into the post as i wish!! I will get back later but William I wish there were more people like us..It does get lonely, Okay lastly, I do not smoke anymore, it just overwhelmed me. I am actually kinda scared....I love when jung says"But Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem. " |

... I don't want to alter my perception of the world with a substance. I simply don't know if it is me or the substance thinking what i think then. You see, i like being me. I'd rather reach a "higher state of mind" through meditation or learning to actively activate certain areas of my mind (which can be learned) than induce it with drugs. And i really enjoy having good health.  |

I had a problem with hording office supplies (I thought they'd be useful). Hahaha oh man I laughed out loud at this. I don't know why, and I am really not being mean at all, but this is one of the funniest things I think I have read in a long time. Its so ... earnest! Charming and cute and really really funny all at the same time. You can tell a lot about a person by their drug of choice. Yes! I wonder if drug-types correlate with personality types. Seems like 'straight edge' goes with INTJ? |
