Lovely cloud, and inspirational. I have lightened my traditional hangover with a bowlful of beautiful kush. The countdown is on - six days till 420. Here in Vancouver there will be so much resin in the downtown air you could wave a burlap bag and make hash.
Are you a toker, Fnord? It's difficult (not intellectually, but practically) for me to imagine that you could sustain your indomitable disdain for the chocolatey races with a head full of smoke.

I stopped toking in my late twenties because it was no longer working for me. Half the time when I would get stoned I would suffer a paranoia attack. I don't know for sure what caused this change in my reaction to pot, but I stopped because it was no longer enjoyable.

In my experience, most people who suffer from paranoia while smoking pot have unaddressed anxieties that boil over when their inhibition circuits relax. I usually suggest they don't smoke again until they've had several good long honest talks with the various facets of their psyche, or at least until they're a few years older. If they're in deep pain, and impatient for healing, I (used to) give them a hit of clinically pure mdma (really hard to find these days) and hold their hand for a couple hours.

Happily, I always find smoking pot to be a great pleasure, and I have ready access to great stuff. In fact, I'm gonna have some now.

In my experience, most people who suffer from recurrent post-pot paranoia have unaddressed anxieties that boil over when their inhibition circuits relax. I usually suggest they don't smoke again until they've had several good long honest talks with the various facets of their psyche, or at least until they're a few years older. If they're in deep pain, and impatient for healing, I (used to) give them a hit of clinically pure mdma (really hard to find these days) and hold their hand for a couple hours.
Since writing about how my reaction to pot changed at that time (I had been smoking it since age 15), I realize I was going through some pretty heavy duty shit at that point in my life. So Wilber is probably right about anxieties boiling over when my inhibition circuits were relaxed. Several decades have passed, and while my life currently has a few challenges, I'm not experiencing the overwhelming stress and anxiety I felt at that time.

Yup. I was too hungover to catch that, I just hit play and closed my eyes. (Fixed now.)
