I just don't like anything with 'stoned' effect. Pot, too much alcohol, ketamine.. I can`t find the point in being stoned or to lower my thinking capabilities. Stronger opiates I would never ever try because there is no point besides running away from some problem that should be confronted. With the help of psychedelics maybe? :)

I actually see this as beneficial in a couple of ways. - it's very hard to "self talk" yourself into doing things you don't really want to do - things you do want to do draw an intense level of focus so you get deeper into them - yeah it can make you a little sloppy but you learn from these mistakes and they sometimes lead to serendipitous accidental discoveries - it can cause you to take a no-nonsense expedient appr…

Thx for the advice, but I haven’t smoke pot since 2012 (was 19 at the time), and I don’t intend to try again. The first few times I did it back then, everything was cool, but then something clicked in my brain that permanently associated pot with extreme anxiety. On one hand I’m kinda thankful that this saved me from turning into a lazy pothead in my teenage years, like some of my friends did, on the other hand it su…
The point is that the panic attack is most likely not due to the substance itself, but due to how you used it. The experience of others shows that it's possible to use it and not get panic attacks, even if that was the original reaction.

My experience is not lowered thinking abilities, but different thinking abilities. If you conceptualize thinking as traversing a graph of thoughts, 'uppers' enhance depth-first traversal, THC enhances breadth-first traversal. This can be a useful mode for generating ideas.
What type of mix even is that?

You're most likely overdosing -- something that's very easy to accidentally do with the crazy strong pot out there these days. It's even easier to overdose for newbies who have basically no tolerance and often mistakenly think they have to smoke a full joint (or even just a full big puff of some strong pot) to get high. That's probably way, way too much. If you are willing to give it another chance, you could try fin…
I've always found it odd that there has been this quest for stronger and stronger cannabis. In my experience it all costs the same. That super dank hydo that has had daily love and care sells for the same price as bush weed that was planted in a forest and then harvested a few months later. I don't really smoke weed, but when I do I much prefer smoking spliffs (tobacco and weed, rolled into a joint). I think the Fren…
This is a super easy thing to do, but kind of difficult to explain. I'll give it a try anyway:
Disassemble the filter of a cigarette. Split a small part of it (vertically) and fold it in half. Tear off the middle of the rolling paper's filter (about a centimeter in length). Place the small part of the cigarette filter into the middle of the rolling paper's filter, and fold the sides into a "W" shape like you usually would.
Do that once, smoke a joint, and when you're done with it, disassemble the makeshift filter you've made. Once you see how tar turned your makeshift filter almost completely black and realize all of that would end up in your lungs otherwise, you'll never roll a joint without this step.
It makes the process of rolling a bit more complicated (and almost impossible to do properly without having scissors near you), but it's totally worth the effort.

That's very dangerous advice. These substances can warp you mind in irrecoverable ways. Plenty of people also end up in asylums and ER
I'm describing an experience. Which substances are you talking about because I'm talking about Cannabis. The idea that somebody could end up in an ER for smoking weed is laughably remote.

If you know yourself well enough to understand a substance is not for you, then the solution is simple: don't consume it, and don't listen to people who say you're doing it wrong.
