Yes, abstaining from cannabis was a crucial part of the plan, I was thinking 5 weeks, just over a month, then consuming an oral extract dose comparable or higher than fitz hugh ludlow's "hasheesh eater" dose.

I've noticed that even after months without smoking, I still can't reproduce a +++ ordeal...

when I was young my experiences were near identical to Mr. Ludlows, which is part of why I love "the hasheesh eater" so much, even though it was written in 1857, Mr. Ludlow behaves in a manner which all modern cannabis users should find familiar, this behavior would not be well known amongst common people until around the 1960s...

Maybe there really are these special experiences that only cannabis neophytes are able to endure, and as use over time continues, the potential for these experiences greatly diminishes...

The first time I smoked cannabis it didn't do much, I was assured that The cannabis was of the highest quality, but I only noticed a rapid increase in appetite, and a strange feeling like I was wearing a headband or a hat, though I wasn't...
However around my 3rd attempt I was blown away, this was just as intense as psilocin or any other actual psychedelic, a "+++.5"...
I was able to experiance this type of intensity throughout my early days of use, but as I aged, I eventually lost the ability to obtain such effects.

I'm actually glad that cannabis is a ++ compound for me, even at massive dose. I have severe nausea and appetite issues, plus psychologically cannabis makes me happy, healthy, calm, it increases my intellect, makes me peaceful, stress-free, inspired, and meditative. In this way cannabis is a daily medicine and entheogen, it induces all of the holy states listed above, and keeps my contact with sacred plants daily.
You can't use other psychedelics this way, the other psychedelics were not meant for daily use, so there had to be at least one Entheogenic plant that was mild enough to aide us on our daily journeys, induce positive psychedelic traits in our behavior, and without out impairing our ability to function, I'm glad I have cannabis to serve these functions.

...yet, there is still a part if me that wants to re-explore cannabis ordeals, specially now that I have matured in every aspect of life, as well as accumulated a wealth of knowledge, I feel.I somewhat wasted these experiences, because as a youth I was unable to grasp the implications of them, and was unable to derive valuable interpretations of them.
