Due to some pretty weird circumstances I can no longer smoke cannabis.
That does not mean I don’t support the right to legally possess or use weed, it just means I can’t do it myself.
Back in college I smoked a lot of pot, and then one night I took several tabs of powerful acid. Ever since that night, the THC in cannabis will trigger my brain chemistry and make me feel like I’m tripping. If you have ever tripped on acid before, you understand why this is a deal-breaker for me. Instead of puffing a little marijuana and feeling relaxed, it triggers aural and visual hallucinations, and makes me feel like I’m going crazy. Are you ready for the next part of this crazy story? For the same reasons, my mixed-up brain processes CBD oil the way other people process THC. That means I cannot smoke cannabis, but that ingested CBD oil produces the same effect on me that cannabis used to have! I can get stoned by vaping CBD oil, so long as there is no THC content in it. I understand this is a little confusing, but I’m just happy I found a way to recapture that delightful high I used to get from smoking marijuana. For those of you who might not have tried using cannabis before, I cannot recommend it highly enough! Cannabis has a way of expanding the mind while calming the spirit, and it is unlike anything else in the world, so I am happy that I found a way to recapture that magic.
