I agree about it making socialisation more tolerable though...it makes a lot of things more tolerable...
Just don't get entirely wiped on it, start meditating, praying to Shiva and go into the whole "let's raise kundalini while I am totally s-faced" or you will end up with a stupid neurological disorder that makes any autonomic nervous system function a manual chore....welcome to my life.
This is why I stopped smoking, because I go into deep meditation automatically, my breathing stops, my heart rate slows down and I get like Chicken Little going "OMG...the sky is falling...save me...SAVE ME!"
Still, I am going out to see a friend now. lol

Right! Like entheogens totally haven't been used to contact the spirits for thousands of years. I agree that it can definitely be more dangerous, but divine bliss shouldn't be discredited just because being stoned enhanced the sensation. Society and that darn negative stigma though.
I still wouldn't say meditation is ever close to automatic for me. Then again, I also didn't really start taking spiritual development seriously until a few years ago. Theology and the occult used to just be abstract intellectual pursuits. I've always been such an incredibly analytical person, even as a little kid, and I start to drive myself crazy thinking about thinking about thinking. Smoking just makes it a little easier to turn down my internal volume.
And I'm also an extremely tense person. Aside from the occasional muscle spasms that remind me I still have nerves, I'm constantly so tense that I don't even realize it until I relax. My muscles even make weird little noises as the pressure is released. Smoking and stretching before meditation both help, but I still feel stiff as a board.
I WAS gonna say 2am is a bit late for that.
Isn't it summer over there?
