| These days I got no time for this thing...sides, it was a high school thang, dig? Closed until future notice
| | |
| Biology midterm...tore such a large hole in my ass, I cant stand up
anymore. Last night therefore, I was NOT in a good place...much
misplaced anger at the world. Of course, until the dudes and of
course nikki and natalie calmed me down...that and I had a much needed
date with mary jane. Granted, I haven't really smoked on many
weeknights this year, perceiving it to be a symbol of the failures of
Freshman year...but I needed to vent, to forget the pain and
humiliation of that exam. The feeling that I was no longer smart,
that I was now a fool without a future. Today, one blunt later, I
felt a whole lot better.
Today is the latest outpouring of my three and a half years of research
into marijuana, its subculture, and the positives this substance offers
as a psychoactive.
People ask me, why even smoke pot?
First off, if you're gonna be smoking pot every night, you need to
relax and take a break. I've been there plenty of times, and
trust me, it's really not the greatest. In fact, it objectifies
the high, which lessens your enjoyment of it tremendously.
However, if you wanna feel good when the world's got you down, I
couldn't recommend anything better. Alcohol can make you angry,
depressed, and hung over the next day...much worse off than you already
were. Not to mention that when you drink a lot, you can still get
depressed while drunk. No hangovers come about from smoking pot,
except for maybe some sleepiness in the morning...it can't even be
compared to alcohol. Hangovers last a whole day for me, in which
I feel unpleasant and fatigued; after smoking weed, nothing similar
occurs.
Someone once asked me what smoking pot feels like:
Imagine getting a massage, except in your BRAIN.
This is the feeling of highness. By massaging the brain, all the
thoughts you never dreamed to think suddenly come to the front, and all
the crazy ideas you would usually gloss over become brilliant.
Not to mention...hilarious. Picture all the music you love and
cherish...sounding billions of times better. It's impossible to
really picture unless you've done it once...but that music is profound
and deep. Trippy music in particular (especially with that delay
set very high...i.e., radiohead, dredg, sigur ros) will make you feel
floating sensations. Then, picture all the people you love and
cherish...you feel amazing closeness to them, a sort of kinship that
can't be explained. It's almost like being drunk, except you are
much more in control...there is no yelling, no insanity, nothing of the
sort; just peace.
Alas, the government once told me smoking pot is dangerous:
Pot gets a bad rap because it's "addictive"...many people actually
swallow that tripe. The fact of the matter is, nearly every
scientific study conducted has concluded that marijuana is not physically addicting.
That's the word. You won't get a physical craving or feelings of
profound withdrawal if you stop smoking pot for long periods of
time...if you drink regularly and suddenly stop, you will get periods
of withdrawal. A friend of mine who was a borderline alcoholic
once stopped drinking and got "the shakes"...potheads I know quit
smoking without any effect whatsoever. Moreover, there is no such
thing as "tolerance" of marijuana...if there is any, it is very
mild. The more alcohol you drink, the more you require to get
drunk; this is just not the case with weed. Also, alcohol is a
drug that you can overdose on, resulting in death; alcohol poisoning is
a regular cause of death, and people who drink too much recall "making
out with the toilet bowl." The amount of marijuana one must
consume to overdose is so high that it can barely be done in a mouse,
let alone a human being. In other words, it is physically
impossible. The only negative effect marijuana offers on your
physical health is the smoking aspect; you are inhaling
carcinogens. But there are healthy ways to get high, such as
ingesting it (pot brownies) or even vaporizing it (a medical study
confirmed minimal carcinogenic effect). If you get high in a
healthy way, moreover, there is evidence that doing so can help prevent
cancer; a study suggested that marijuana may protect brain cells from
becoming cancerous.
Whatever your reasons, agree or disagree with this mini article of
mine...but now you have the facts. And I feel a lot better.

| Philosophical ramblings.
When I was applying to private high school, they asked me in 8th grade
what my "philosophy of life" was. Naturally, I answered it in
some really lame manner, probably about how "you should be nice to
everyone" or "you should STAB PEOPLE instead of shaking their hands,
because that's much more friendly!!! BLOOD!!!!! SEX!!!!
VIOLENCE!!!!YESSSSS" In 8th grade, that's one
hard, hard question to answer; so naturally it nagged me throughout my
life..especially when I was rejected and ended up in public school
(which ironcally was one of the best things to happen to me).
Now, when I revisit that question 4 to 5 years later, I have
a new answer.
A year or two ago, I heard a very wise woman say that the true goal of
desegregation and integration was to look at a person and simply
see...a person; not black, not white, not latin, not asian, not
middle-eastern. Since then, this became my philosophy of life.
There's no such thing as "race", because "race" implies that there is
something inherently different between cultures, something
irreconcilable that requires segregation. If "race" is a fact,
then people need to be separated along lines. However, if this
was truly the case, then people could not intermarry and have children,
which is very possible.
From a scientific standpoint, the color differences in skin are the
result of natural evolution, an adaptational response to
different climates; the differences in culture that we see come from
different environments and the natural variation within humanity.
Technically speaking, the color of one's skin should have as little
value as the color of one's hair or eyes. It's not "race" so much
as it is "ethnicity"...but many people choose to think otherwise.
I suppose this viewpoint became mine after I spent my early years of
high school within a Jewish youth group, where I spent my weekends with
Jews alone. I had no friends outside the community, excluding my
best friends since I was a little kid. Slowly, however, I
realized that I had no friends in this youth group and that I had no
place within it; from that moment on, perhaps out of sheer frustration,
I gained a strong contempt for self segregation of any sort. I
think the reason I am this way is because my best friend since I was
six years old, who is practically a member of my family, is not
Jewish. None of my close friends are Jewish. I never really
found the reason to have a strong Jewish identity, but I realize that
this isn't out of contempt for my people like one person once suggested; this is because I never saw
my people as better than anyone else. When I look at people, I
tend to just see "people"...I don't really see anything more except on
a cultural level.
Rambling complete.
