Has Spice Changed the Way You Think, Speak, Write?

[Aleph Omega]

Since I have been smoking spice regularly, I have noticed subtle, almost unconscious changes in the way that I write. For example, I am usually very grammatically correct, but I have noticed when I go back and proofread many of the posts I have made on this forum, I have been misusing words. The funny thing though, is that although these words are technically "incorrect" or not what I intended, they nonetheless maintain the meaning, or give some other perspective to the meaning.

I think this is a common phenomena for people who have done a lot of spice. Breaking words down into component parts, dissecting them, deriving new meanings from them, some might say, hidden meanings... The ancients considered language to be magical, after all.

I am also a sometime poet, so this isn't particularly new for me. I have done similar word-play in my more artistic moments. I also practice freestyle rapping, and I believe I have noticed an improvement in my freestyling as well; it is as if my rhymes, or meanings are more fluid and multi-dimensional. In hip-hop parlance, you can "flip" the meaning of something, or the logic, to make it mean something else, a kind of perceptual shift.

One website that has a good example of this kind of writing/thought is New Ways of Knowing which I found from a link of a link that someone posted on the Nexus. Interesting reading too.

Just thought I would share, and see if anyone else has come across this phenomena, or has any ideas as to what it may mean.

SWIM has noticed a change in his behavior more than anything...He plays online games very often but his strategies have changed drastically. He is usually very twitchy and accurate, but instead he is more laid back about it. He watches his opponents differently, difficult to explain. He's no longer seek and destroy, he's wait and watch. He hasn't noticed any difference in the way he writes really. He isn't really great with grammar, he's always been using words incorrectly and finds it difficult to articulate his thoughts on paper.

Through my spice journeys i have acquired a deep inner strength, it was always present within me but spice has enhanced my inner strength greatly. I am also a writer and spice has given me poetic potency so to speak, I can portray and describe my perspective far more eloquently than before.

The way that my mind works has also changed I am far more focused on what i want to achieve and create in my life, spice has given me the direction that i was searching for. Thank you for this thread its incredibly fascinating, language definitely has a certain magic that can dance and flutter about a page...
