Never felt anything like it, but it brought me back to how I was in my childhood and I could even play more video games and enjoy myself more.

Like, damn.

Just one edible, I took. Sativa. Peach-flavored. From Beyond / Hello.

Before that, I took half of an edible.

I was relaxed and my head was swimming, but I felt in control.

I had to lie down at first, though, but I wasn’t worried.

My interoception (feeling your own body) was on fire though.

    It’s pretty great, honestly. Simply trying it shows you how completely fucked the war on drugs has been.
    Definitely be cautious about over-doing it, but have fun! It’s an incredible enhancer to experiences, but can make you very ok with being unproductive and lazy.

      Everyone should be okay with being unproductive and lazy as it is our default state. Capitalists have tricked us into thinking we have to be productive so they can exploit that productivity for profit. Lying in bed all day and eating snacks is praxis.

        Don’t get me wrong, I love chilling out and being lazy, but I don’t think I totally agree: I don’t think work is inherently bad. It’s bad under capitalism because we’re exploited and alienated, but under communism I think it will actually be fulfilling and meaningful.

        It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.

        Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

        nah, that just isn’t true. allowing your body to regenerate and being lazy are of course just things human beings need to do, and there’s obviously nothing wrong with using substances to help with that, but doing nothing but being high and lazy as your default state just numbs you to the state of the world, which is exactly the opposite of what being a communist is all about really.

        Everyone deserves a few lying in bed all day days a month just because that’s a pleasure we’re entitled to as people. I’ve found even that can be “productive” when it’s purposeful rest and relaxation. Finding yourself getting out of bed at 1pm (or whatever time that is relative to your schedule) just because you can’t stand the taste of your own breath anymore probably isn’t that.

        Breakneck speed and efficiency in anything can cause the same tunnel vision driving does https://www.emesa-m30.com/tunnel-effect-car/
