@Javfly33 On what grounds are you making your claims? Source? Obviously you're still here, aren't you?

This is the classic misconception that cannabis=harmful (in some cases) means that legalization=bad. Legalization is about facing the problem, controlling the disbursement, increasing youth protection and making available a clean product for mature adults that are able to make their own decisions. Making something legal doesn't mean it's not dangerous. It shouldn't be required to make everything dangerous illegal, especially if there are completely valid use cases. Instead the focus should be put more on clarification of the risks and benefits so that people can make their own educated decisions. There are two approaches to drugs that are the worst: Completely unregulated & completely prohibited. We have to find a middle way. Drugs are an amazing part of this reality, but they are also dangerous. It all depends on the circumstances and personality/biology of the user. There never was a civilization that was completely free of drugs and to try to achieve that is not only futile, but not intelligent. We have to strive for a meaningful integration of drugs into society. That also would make them less dangerous because now there'd be a societal framework in which drug use can happen that goes beyond "do it and you'll be homeless or imprisoned", which becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, as we can see again and again. There's much development still to be had in this area for humanity.

Sometimes I just want to go out with a huge facepalm... damn. Humans are cringe. Sometimes.

It's about giving the people back their personal responsibility I'm from Germany, too, btw and this is exciting news! Let's hope the Bundesrat doesn't delay it too much. In theory if all Bundesländer in which the Green Party is part of the coalition would vote neither yes or no, it would go through. The Green Party voted unanimously Yes for legalization in Berlin. So it depends on how many deviants there are in their own party, we'll see... The reason why some of them want to delay it, even though their party voted Yes on the bill, is that they fear it could overburden the legal system when they have to open all cases again in which people got jail time or fines for cannabis related crimes - because part of the new bill is also a complete retroactive amnesty. In my opinion this is a terrible reason to delay such an important law change while thousands of people still get charged for cannabis possession today. All in all I'm quite optimistic though. Let's hope the best.

Everything is absolutely perfect. Even that is. It was never and will never not be Perfection. There's nowhere to go, nowhere to arrive, nothing to achieve – but to PLAY.

Now-Here.

@Someone here Being not awake is not possible. Yet here we are.

@Inliytened1 Thanks for reminding me, "dude on a forum" Of course, God is the greatest writer ever – and also the only one. All God does, as long as he did not currently forget himself, is compliment his own genius. Rightly so, I may add!

There's only one thing that God cannot do: Not be himself.

You imagined them. Well, I (and others) have created whole worlds and their inherent rules. It's called writing.

That's bullshit. There's no one to judge but yourself. You're the judge and the convict at the same time. You're all murderers and their victims. You're your own mentor and teacher and you're the disciple of yourself. It's all you, you alone is what is.

That's one and the same.

Cool

It is INFINITE INTELLIGENCE. And no, you can't understand it as a human, because it is way way above the level of consciousness, that is required to be human. You can't even fathom how intricate, beautiful and perfect it is constructed.

@Theplay That's only halfway there. True enlightenment doesn't discriminate between ego and non-ego – that discrimination is already ego.

Me too, of course

It doesn't hurt to be said But also... following any teacher will ultimately lead to delusion. And on the other hand everyone and everything can be your teacher.

You have to drop any teacher at some point.

You're all hopelessly deluded. Deal with it.

Reality is Perfection. That's a feature of Infinity. As well as Love, Truth, Consciousness & Beauty. That doesn't mean you should just accept everything that's going on, on the contrary. I'm talking about the Absolute, not the relative. Suffering, ugliness, war, rape, murder, etc. those all exist as an experience, but that doesn't contradict Perfection. But seeing that requires wisdom. If you say it's otherwise you're essentially saying that Reality would be better if those didn't exist, and that's not the case. Can you see that?

There's nothing that has to end. Everything is in an ongoing, ever-shifting state of absolute and impeccable perfection.

This is a very human concern and will immediately vanish as soon as you experience death... The pleasure after death far exceeds anything possible in this realm. But we're not here mainly for pleasure. We've got bigger fish to fry.

It can be completely reasonable to prolong a psychedelic experience in my experience. But you have to know what you're doing, both related to the substance as well as the reactions of your own body.

Mixing substances can be very interesting and produce special experiences. But every substance added heightens the risk of just ending up in a state of confusion, effects clashing with each other, or the effects unexpectedly amplifying each other way too much. In the worst case it could even lead to serious mental or physical harm. A good rule of thumb would be: Never mix substances that you're not experienced with solo – that includes mixes (so: if you wanted to mix, say, Ketamine, MDMA and Psilocybin, you first would have to know the effects of all of them taken on their own, as well as the combined effects of Ketamine+MDMA, MDMA+Psilocybin and Psilocybin+Ketamine). And generally take less when combining stuff.
