RE: Saying Goodbye: A Heroic Dose (P2)
My first time happened at 23, and I definitely wasn’t prepared for the lessons she had planned for me. I was sitting in the window of my kitchen when I thought it’d be a good idea to take a hit of cannabis...wrong idea. I closed the window, and stared in horror as my arms seemed to have stretched. From my perception then, my hands remained up high up in the window frame, and me—“I” was on the floor. Except I was dead, lol. I was absolutely convinced I had crossed over. I somehow made my way to the couch where my partner was sitting, and I was just declaring in the flattest tone—probably to stay calm—“I’m dead. I think I’m now dead. I’m talking to you from the other side. There’s nooo way I’m alive.”
I have no idea how much longer it was before I got over the anxiety, and then I plopped myself atop my bed the rest of the night, my sheets looking like a lunar plane. It was incredible. I’m so happy another @sndbox member is 1) a psychonaut, and 2) is writing about it!
That sounds like an incredible experience that you had. I'm surprised that cannabis would do that, especially if you only took one hit. Everyone reacts differently though.
So was that one experience enough for you, did you ever try it again?
For me, cannabis accelerates psilocybin in particular with strength, but also LSD. The difference is that with the latter I feel that I’ve learned to “drive” the experience. I do both here and there still, but psilocybin very rarely bc I need to be pitch perfect in set and setting. She’s a teacher and always in control, as far as I’m concerned lol.
If you look at my blog and some of these artwork I’ve uploaded, you can see the way these substances have impacted me haha. It’s also in my writing, but to a lesser extent. Really enjoying your stuff!
I started following you. So I'll check out your blog for sure.
Ok that makes sense to me. In your first comment, I didn't realize that you meant that you took cannabis while on psilocybin. Now I understand. I agree, cannabis intensifies the effects of the mushroom.
I have a similar view, that these substances are teachers. For me they are very spiritual experiences. I always learn a lot - about myself, the world, life...etc.
Last comment, hit me up on slack sometime if you wanna go in-depth off the blockchain. My handle is the same there.
