In the past, I've tried cigarettes and cigars and I just can't voluntarily inhale smoke. As this is the case, I've tried ingesting the weed, I've eaten:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cb\u003EA Marijuana sugarcake\u003C\/b\u003E - Made me sleepy. I must say I slept well that night;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cb\u003EA Marijuana lollipop\u003C\/b\u003E - God, it tasted so bad that I could take only so much and I felt nothing.\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThen over the weekend, I had Marijuana in cake. As one friend said, it doesn't appear as though it's working until bam, you are high, and trust me, she wasn't whistling Dixie. I think I had 4-5 1 1\/2\" X 1\" cakes and it doesn't help my situation that I was drinking. Ladies and gentlemen, I was shitfaced and I don't want to ever be like that again. My symptoms that night were:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003EMajor cotton mouth;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EHyper-awareness - it killed the chatter in my head and left my only perceiving things as they are;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003ESlow motor skills - although I was hyper-aware, I was sluggish;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003EA listing to the right - I would be walking and I would veer to the right;\u003C\/li\u003E\u003C\/ul\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003ENow the above may not all be attributed to the Mary Jane alone but it was a trip traveling home. I can understand why people take it like one would drink wine, but I didn't like losing control. I appreciated the hyper awareness because now I know what it looks like so I can work to get back to that place without drugs, but I like to be able to defend myself, to react quickly and that is impossible while under the influence.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EI also noticed that it brought out a base emotion. I noticed that I became anxious, I was anxious while my sister was driving, I was anxious about how I behaved at the get together, I was anxious about how people perceived me. I was uber anxious and that continued into the next day while at work. I had to calm my anxieties and remind myself to let go of decade old regrets. The drug brought forth my most primal emotion and proved that although I layered on positive points of view, the negative roots are still there and can escape through a crack.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EMy first hallucinogenic experience was a double edge sword, I learned from it and still it was not all fun experiencing it. Would I try it again? No, it just isn't my cup of tea. I would rather read a good book, hang out with cool people, take in a great view or watch a movie than get high. Would I tell others not to try it? No, I think people should experience it so that they can have their own view point on it. I know it would be hard for me to do, but I would have my child try it in my presence so that they go through it in a safe environment. Then when they are proper wasted, I would make the experience awful (muhahaha).\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u0026nbsp;Now a day and a half removed from the experience, I can definitively say, \"Thank you, but no thank you.\" If that is the alleged gateway drug, I won't be indulging in any drugs in the future thus making me even more of a prude. Ain't no thang, I'm a prude till I die. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EImage Credit: \u003Ca href=\"http:\/\/imageback.com\/4703\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EImageBack\u003C\/a\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/asilomik.blogspot.com\/feeds\/3983317006618446556\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/comment.g?blogID=8580635660349746755\u0026postID=3983317006618446556\u0026isPopup=true","title":"3 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/8580635660349746755\/posts\/default\/3983317006618446556"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/8580635660349746755\/posts\/default\/3983317006618446556"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/asilomik.blogspot.com\/2015\/08\/thank-you-but-no-thank-you.html","title":"Thank You, But No Thank You"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Kimolisa"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/16624029898830661332"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"3"}}]}});
