Ganja is a significant part of many Yoga traditions. I have a good friend who was introduced to its use in this context. The lineage he was exposed to uses the enhanced attention in very specific way. No yoga teacher or class I’ve ever experienced has ever hinted to these techniques which makes me think they are not known outside of this lineage. With that being said, one can always explore yoga practice in the prese…

#13Also 25 miles into a ride, a quick puff on the pen feels excellent.
I assume it both gets me into a good mindset, but also raises my heart rate quickly.

#16So, destructive?
> Specifically I'm interested in those that take it for depression, focus, creativity, sleep, etc.
So, creational? I am confused by ''rec'', it's a bullshit term, especially if that means getting blunted which does at least not recreate braincells.

#18Never talked about this with anyone and would never even dare interacting with people in public in an altered state of mind but luckily we're a decentralized team. I'm also conscious about the bad part of this being gradual social retreat/isolation and inability of engaging with people at chit-chat/informal level. In my case though satisfaction from seeing an algorithm flying is just too great - but I'm also lucky of having a really supportive (non-smoker) partner, life without this aspect would most probably look much much different.

#19I use it for: - Insomnia - Migraines - Focus/Creativity (studio art hobby) - Anxiety (mostly generalized anxiety disorder) also recreationally, but not as often as I used to. In general I've found that semi micro-dosing has helped with non-recreational use. Rather than smoke a joint/bowl worth all at once, I take a couple hits scattered throughout the day. Helps prevent getting the come-down sleepiness and lack of fo…
The anxiety is, by definition, the problem that you should be most anxious about. Live is random and you need to stay alert, and self conscious. Bringing a bit of randomness into art can help with an organic look, but organisms decay, you likely want to design structures built to last. Migrain can be a consequence of malnourishment, vascular stress or other circulatory issues, certainly not something that can be helped by a pill or any of that sort. And if your doctor doesn't know where it comes from either, and your medical history doesn't indicate any reason, go see a chiropractor. And ask about sleeping pills, if you really cannot get any sleep at all. Which I doubt.
