By nature solitary and monkish, pot fits me like a priest's hood. Pot is for thinkers. Pot makes you think. Pot makes you more aware and intelligent. Pot is not like hard booze, which obliterates your brain with sleep. It makes your mind buzz without sleeping, you stay awake and dream, daydream.
Your mood determines what you will think on pot, as well as in your daily prosaic life. So, if you have problems, pot will make you think about those problems. People call thinking about your problems worry. This may be unpleasant. Worry is unpleasant. People don't like to be worried and so don't like to smoke pot and worry. This is called a bad trip.
Thinking is seeing, too, and not just the internal mind process but the external view around you. Sensitivity it's called when you suddenly see a dew drop on the knobby bud of a pear tree. That's awareness. That's a higher consciousness. Higher consciousness is when you suddenly see the pattern of behavior in a person's acts, including your own. Higher consciousness is seeing the meaning in a poem. Or suddenly feeling great love for everything and everyone around you. A burst of spontaneous joy that makes waves of love roll over you. The world is beautiful. The small things count. You can understand that a grass strand is worthy and meaningful in itself.
