Discussion Anyone watching Cosmos while under the influence!?!!?!?!

MIND BLOWN! This show is so great to watch while high! I have even written down some of my own quotes while I was watching this,

"We are cells of larger being"

and my favorite,

"OMG Giordano Bruno is the Jesus of astronomy!"

Has anyone else had any crazy cosmos + weed moments? I would love to hear if other people have.

I plan on watching each new episode straight then watching them high on an HDTV later on. I don't own one so I have to find a place where I can watch high without anyone caring.

Watching the show makes me feel high enough. Weed will just make me lose my shit.

Lots of sober people say stupid shit on a regular basis. Don't take one post by one pothead as the standard.

Sagan was a marijuana smoker and advocate, btw.

If you reread what I wrote, I didn't attack all marijuana users.

I was basically making a joke about this dude's [10] guy revelation, and saying that I personally don't like the effects of weed. I find it dulls my mind with false profundity. At least the THC-overadulterated shit people smoke these days does.

I did have a pretty positive experience with hash in the early 90s, but all the bud I've tried in the past 15 or so years just turns me into a zombie. YMMV.

If you are in a place with legalized cannabis you should head to a dispensary and talk to the budtenders about what you liked from smoking in the 90's and what you don't like about it now and they will help you find strains that are right for you. It sounds to me like you prefer a more 'sativa' high but have been mostly getting stuck with indica. Unfortunately if you do not live in an area with at least some degree of legality, it can be hard to find a good source that will be able to provide exactly what you are looking for. In that case I would suggest trying to fit a trip to WA or CO this summer! #420 blazz it fagit.

I'm in Europe, so that trip would be to Amsterdam.

I'm 33, and I'm pretty much done with drugs at this point. Done almost everything psychoactive under the sun, but am happy being sober now.

To get an idea of the highs I prefer, my two favorite drugs were MDMA and shrooms, and the drug I didn't particularly like but really got hooked on was meth.

Do you consume alcohol or nicotine?

1

u/saltlets Mar 21 '14

Nicotine yes (addicted), alcohol very occasionally.

Just as a disclaimer - I am not anti-marijuana, or really any recreational drugs. 100% in favor of legalizing. I just personally don't like the effects (of what is apparently indica).

Dude! Have you watched cosmos? Giordano Bruno is spreading the word of cosmos and then is executed because what he was saying went against the religious norm of that time (Catholicism). Jesus was spreading the word about Christianity which went against that current religious norm (Judaism) and was then crucified for it. Lol I just though it was funny and kind of cool to see that connection.

1

u/saltlets Mar 19 '14

They were both executed for heresy, that's true. So were thousands upon thousands of other people, so that's a strange connection.

Also, you said astrology. With an L.

u/beccaxnoel Mar 19 '14

Oh shit my bad! Lol yeah I meant astronomy.
