Maybe you've forgotten, i dunno, the 1st few times people often report they felt nothing. I can't remember well either, but i sure picked up quick.
That's something i can comprehend easily. I believe cannabis can work as a facilitator in acquiring "filters" allowing to appreciate it, personally i was given classical music at 1st. Then i started to make my own choices, for example David Bowie's 'Heroes' as in the film 'Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo' (1981) left a durable impression, Bryan Ferry's 'Is Your Love Strong Enough' in the film 'Legend' too, and i also liked Gary Numan but my fascination faded for a long while until i heard songs from hybrid, Exile and Pure, especially 'Absolution' and 'Ancients' - besides Pink Floyd and other better known "classics" of popular music to be honest. That wasn't special for a young man but as an elder i was most surprized these last few years to discover "growling" as an enhancer, for example in 'Cathedral Walls' by Swallow The Sun, then just a couple week ago the group King Buffalo via their 4 parts 'Quarantine Sessions' revived another dimension. Yet nothing to compare with the "psychedelics" feeling from LSD although it certainly affects mood in some mesmerizing manner, at least for me.
Anyway, none of that would have been possible if i hadn't 1st unlocked the possibilities many decades ago.
There's a difficulty with cannabis IMO and this home-made "reality filter" may help circumvent its negative aspects:
#1) Neuro-plasticity;
#2) Contaminants;
#3) Consumption Method & Ritual;
#4) Socio-toxic 3rd-party interference
Actually i keep repeating it on social media on occasions. As i've just illustrated, neuro-plasticity (#1) usually comes early but i also found it's still possible to reverse old habit models (#3 & #4) even late in life, like a tendency to fall into the dosing abuse spiral: once lit don't we smoke it to the end, worse if concerned by waste? To me that would be because even if it's possible to extinguish there's going to be too many noble molecules wasted after and before each lit... Then serious worries relative to #2 and #4 may emerge that finally promote some anxiety capable of transforming into paranoïd reflexes, especially when abuse is involved, etc.
Thanks to vaporism i discovered an alternative to #3 and yet a few more years were necessary to enjoy strategies leading to improved self-awareness, not to mention my bill$ divided by 3 after i gradually transitioned to aspects other than the buzz alone; economic stress can matter greatly after all... So, without such embelishing features i'm afraid «
Resistance is Futile », which gives quite a new meaning to the title below my alias...
Good day, have fun!!
