Question: The epitome of the dangers of consuming marijuana.(Long, first hand, unique, essay format.)?
8/7/11
I havent edited this in any way since last night. any abstract way of thinking conveyed in this this was solely caused by me being fucking blasted.
…its fucking weird when you finish. And remember this is a message i sent to my friend on facebook.
enjoy:

8/6/11
the entire thing was in response to your questions: “whatever that means” and “make me understand” to my brain spark extention: “which makes me wonder if theres something like a developmental instinct influencing you to make sense when your thought process is reaching its full potential. like living the language made me develop some crazy ability to be able to spit my thoughts without stopping when my brain starts actually being utilized to a point near its full potential. So the remains of my eccentric self indulgence actually make sense to my normal critical self. who’s of course trying to find fault in all my ideas..”

but that was actually in response to this innocent, yet ominously, titanic legend inspiring memories of a gleaming iceaberg tip: “whenever i write something long and weird when im high and i go back and read it i get mad confused at like 6 points and always have to stop and re read something but then after i finally catch up to it and understand it it, it normally turns out making sense.”

so the entire things goes like this:

begging:
“whenever i write something long and weird when im high and i go back and read it i get mad confused at like 6 points and always have to stop and re read something but then after i finally catch up to it and understand it it, it normally turns out making sense.”

middle:
“which makes me wonder if theres something like a developmental instinct influencing you to make sense when your thought process is reaching its full potential. like living the language made me develop some crazy ability to be able to spit my thoughts without stopping when my brain starts actually being utilized to a point near its full potential. So the remains of my eccentric self indulgence actually make sense to my normal critical self. who’s of course trying to find fault in all my ideas..”

ending:
“but on the last thing i said: I guess an analogy for it would be how you feel on adrenalin well actually not how you feel, ignore how adrenal makes you feel. But what it actually does, it makes you perform at your best right? It puts you into a state of mind that millions of years of evolutions attests to as equipped to handle a situation where life of death can live in details and seconds. but instead of the extremely physical and obvious feeling of adrenaline, imagine something harder to realize is taking control and when you’re having really abstract ideas it lets you convey them in such a way that you can re-read and understand what you meant, without extreme effort. And because its just an instinct you develop over years of experience with societal, conversational norms and common spoken tendencies it wouldn’t be as immediately noticible the way adrenaline shakes you awake, because its not actually releasing anything into your brain. its just the way your brain has adapted to the majorities language comprehension and is more like a pavlonian dog type thing where the dog hears the bell and recieves food 19 times and the twentieth time he hears the bell and recieves no food, but his mouth still waters profusely. like a trained by all your life experience knee jerk reaction”

…why the fuck is this shit illegal? Anything in today’s society that can cause someone to put as much thought into something as i did into that last night should never, ever be considered the stigma that marijuana is. societies general views and expectations will turn us all to copies.

Answer:

Answer by Houston, we have a problem
- It’s illegal because this is a democratic society, and this society chooses to make it so. What is your philosophy question?
