Hello hello fellow Wasteland Warriors. Long time. I hope everyone's been great.
As always, was chilling by listening to a random VGN/MWW episode. This one is the MWW on Drinking. Just thought I'd say hello and introduce a discussion worthy of a thesis by Kevin.
So before I ask for all your opinions on what you guys just did in Washington and Colorado, and what's probably soon to happen in California, Oregon, Vermont and a few others from what I've been reading, I'd like to talk about my own experience.
I smoked pot the first time in my life less than two months ago. I've been pretty straight edge otherwise: don't smoke, no drugs (even going so far as to avoid medication and trying a natural alternative), and I don't drink at all for the most part. I will cook with vodka and wine. I'll also try the occasional drink, more so to understand it's taste than anything else. I did that recently with whiskey, gin, and a few different assortments of wines. But I'm not a drinker, even socially. In fact, socially I always volunteer to be the driver since drinking is so uninteresting to me. The aforementioned drinks were all by myself at home.
But weed, oh boy. Truly I have experienced nothing like it. I toked some when I was going through a stomach ache of some nature that could substitute the fires of hell in raw torture factor. My girlfriend suggested it since she had some from her mom. An otherwise very conservative person, I decided to try it. It didn't do much the first time, or even the second time when I smoked it a few hours later. Little bit of pain relief.
We had it lying around for a few days later. Being an Indian, being taught not to waste, I was like, what the hell.
Puff Puff Hack Hack Cough Cough.
And then it hit me. It's the craziest thing. It's like your voice is outside your head. You zone out talking to the door and realize it 10 minutes into the monologue. In your brain, you think you can say whatever you want to say as you normally would. But you end up using a lot more words when you actually say it, or end up saying something that's not relevant at all. I'm sure other people who've done it understand that it's difficult to explain.
Regardless, ever since I've had a more relaxed view on pot and have even tried it occasionally since. It truly does feel fantastic when used to unwind and improve your experience of sensual pleasures.
Anyways, so what do you think of the legalization bit. What are your opinions and experiences with the ganja?
