So I was in college and I had just failed a test that I needed to be a pass, it was my fault because my dumb ass couldn’t be bothered to study at home. After all, I was out with my friends all day doing some stupid stuff.

It was a summer night. probably mid June or July, I can't really remember but it was a day my friend Dom and I decided to do DMT for another time. We have each expiernced this drug but never together. The expiernce of this drug is said to be the expiernce of birth/death. A little background of DMT aslo known as Dimethyltryptamine, is a chemical substance that occurs in many plants and animals and which is both a derivative and a structural analog of tryptamine. It can be consumed as a psychedelic drug and has historically been prepared by various cultures for ritual purposes as an entheogen. Point being this is a very strong drug. As I've stated I have taken this drug before is its own story in iteself, but the result was I basically saw my true self from another lense. Back to the strory.

Jonathan GPublished 4 years ago in Potent5 reasons why marijuana is actually great!
Unleashes inner creativity: Believe me when I say this is a fact. Towards the end of my high school ca reer, school was the last thing on my mind. With overdue essays to finish and Assignments piling up it was time to pick up the pace. For about 2 weeks I was in total grind mode. D’s were rising to B’s and my motivation continued to grow. With everything going so well I felt, like any high school slacker, that it was time for a short break. As I let book-work and essays build up again I started going to school high. Everyday before stepping out of my car I would take 3 rips off my dab pen and then head in to school. Most of the time this just resulted in extra sleep. It wasn’t until I actually started doing work that I noticed something incredible. There I was sliced as fuck working on an essay about the book “Fahrenheit 451”. It amazed me how easy the essay was considering the only thing I had read was the back cover. The essay was finished in that same class on that same day. Yeah it was a BUNCH of bullshit but the bullshit was creatively relevant to the book and enough to cap me a B+. Never had I ever been able to put together a decent essay in such a short amount of time. Was this just a coincidence? I think NOT. I could sit here and talk about countless assignments I accomplished while high but school isn’t the only thing being high helped me with. I am an adamant drummer and hearing the same beats over and over gets boring but coming up with new beats is stressful. What I have learned is when I am high and come up with new beats it all comes together without me even thinking about it. My body does more work than my mind. What I mean by this is, as I start playing I incorporate new beats or rhythms and I don’t even realize it until I play it back. It’s like magic. But why when I’m high is it easier to write or make beats than when I’m not? According to a study, weed, or cannabis as they call it causes users like myself, to have psychotomimetic symptoms leading you to make connections between ideas that aren’t related. This means that while writing that essay I was able to relate completely unrelated things from my life to the book that I never even read more than a summary of.

A lot of people disregard marijuana, weed, pot, reefer, etc. as a gateway drug. I believe it can be depending on the person, as it was in my case. Trying any substance can easily lead to curiosity of other substances. I smoked marijuana for the first time my freshman year in high school. I fell in love with the effects of being high. I got to the point to where I would skip class to get high with friends. My senior year I would smoke marijuana every night before bed. I noticed I would be extremely sleepy and groggy the next morning. I would fall asleep during class and get in trouble. Marijuana would make me lazy, tired, and unproductive. I told myself I would never try any other drug, especially meth or heroin. Marijuana would lead me to curiosity of other substances later on.
Kevin RepassPublished 5 years ago in PotentThe Battle of Marijuana
Marijuana? The cure or the enemy? Although I won't ever deny there are some properties found in the plant that are helpful and aid in many illnesses, are we justifying it properly? Are recreational users making excuses for their use based on medical studies? Before I begin sharing my opinion you should know, I smoked marijuana daily for a few years, that was after a few years of occasional use. This is all based on my own personal experiences with myself and those around me.
