I think you're either a spiritually open minded person or you're not, i don't think weed has anything to do with it.

DMT, and (as Polly has said), mushrooms and even LSD might change a person's outlook on spirituality, but i doubt if weed can even come close.

I've known some very spiritual and lovely people who are completely drug and alcohol free, and some complete arseholes who smoke weed all day every day and are about as close to being spiritual as i am to being an elf.

I think it really depends upon the individual.

Just my 2p though.

Cheers. BB

Defo agree with this!!
Mental health challenges over the last 12 months have made me stop, reflect and really open my mind to appreciate everything around me down to the little things. Before this I wasn’t always present in the moment so less connected. I definitely feel more content the way I am now

Dunno mate…I’ve had ‘moments of clarity’ on weed that have stayed with me in a very positive way, I’m a drinker and often think I have moments of clarity on the booze, but (probably thankfully) they don’t withstand the sober lights of day 😉

Me and an old mate were convinced we came up with the best ideas when we were stoned, but we could never remember them so we set up a dictaphone (yeah i am that old!) and listened back to a session when we were sober.

Complete and utter jibberish. Worst ideas ever. It was actually comical how much nonsense we were chatting.

I'm certainly not saying everybody is the same but i think those moments are best left in the moment and (being a drinker myself too) the alcohol inspired ones even more so!

It's still a lot of fun trying to solve the worlds problems when slightly off kilter in one way or another though! Someone's got to do it... ;)

Cheers. BB

Excellent mate 🤩…BUT…when you are sober you scorn the drunk/high side of you and vice versa. Who’s to say which side is ‘right’?! Maybe the really sober dumb unenlightened side of us totally wrong and the high crazy drunk side the true us all along?
Wouldn’t that be something?
OK..I’m a bit high…

Funny how We always think of our true selves, (stripped from social and psychological strains) as rebellious, don’t you think? As in : the dumb side of us is the imposed artificial superficial layer which manifests 90% of the time and the high/drunk/crazy (though I prefer to call it rebellious) side of is who we are truly.

Am I the only person who thinks like that?

Certainly a cool idea! 😎

Just curious

What was your best worst idea bulldog?

I don't think there ever was a "best" idea, as I say they were all basically nonsense.

The vast majority essentially revolved around incredible, innovative business strategies to get mega rich, quick.

One of the few I can remember involved buying old ice cream vans and converting them into pasta vans, (because everyone loves pasta!) That kind of idea we would discuss for about 2 or 3 hours, whilst forgetting the whole "practicality" of hygiene certificates, boiling water in a van travelling around roundabouts, pasta needing to be cooked 'al dente' or any other of the numerous 'real world' aspects to that kind of venture.

It was basically all dreams with no real substance, but it was such great fun talking about it when we were high as kites, and even just listening back to it was a laugh. I wish I had kept the tapes but alas they've been lost, as with so many other things I should've kept hold of.

Fun times nonetheless. 💚

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

Brilliant! ….so there’s no problem with me stealing that idea?😂👍
Many many years ago my best mate and I were stoned and bemoaning the fact that life was passing us by (at 23, even though we had careers, good money and our own houses!!). We decided it would be a great idea to chuck it all in and buy a bar in Corfu.
Had we been drinking we would have woken up with a hangover unable to even care what bollocks we had been talking.
Our bar opened 4 months later and we lived there for 5 amazing years. It wasn’t an easy thing to do, in fact it was really really difficult (no EU rights back then) but a crazy stoned idea changed our lives forever- when we sold it that opened a lot more doors.
Fun times indeed! 🤩😎

We should've collaberated.

Pasta vans in Corfu.... 🤣🤣

"By this time next year Rodney, we'll be millionaires..."

Seriously though, that must've been a lovely 5 years. Sounds like you had a great time there, fantastic stuff!

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

gold.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I think a lot of weed plus a little help from the environment can open a near psychedelic gateway. I tripped once just from a few bong-loads and a National Geographic map of the universe.

I’d say, as a drug, on the whole it’s more likely to challenge the ego than many others. The relationship with the ego being core to any sort of spirituality imo. There are so many variables though. Like BB says, plenty of arseholes who smoke 😂

Yup, you can put an arsehole in a blender and it still contains 100% arsehole.

Wow! I’m not even high! 😻😵‍💫

Cannabis aiding spirituality? The only aid I can see is that cannabis used with mushrooms seems to heighten the effect and reduce anxiety induced by high doses of psilocybin. Based on set and setting, a user can break free of stuck modalities of thought and enter the spirit world. In summary, cannabis can be an adjunct to creating a spiritual experience when combined with mushrooms

Haha 😆

Like British Bulldog said depends if your spiritual or how open ur mind is to seeing things differently which I would be myself nd spiritual floating when stoned always nice even if it's not too heaven 😂 if it's good enough for the rastas religion overall just makes you chill out nd relax I think that's what we all want from this crazy world. I'd imagine most people wouldn't think off it in a spiritual sense. I think if someone close to you dies when ur stoned cam feel them probably just ur minding wanting them back.

I take more of a humanist perspective these days so I struggle to say what being "spiritual" even means exactly.

That said, I think weed can give us something of a rush of joy and wonder that can help appreciate and reframe stuff. Also, a deeper interest in things we might otherwise not have noticed: not always a good thing, e.g. when you think truly banal things are profound. Sometimes it helps reach a more introspective viewpoint. This last one can be damaging if you allow yourself to become a navel-gazing, reclusive stoner though ... at least that has been the case for me: everyone is different I guess.

Where it may also hamper personal development is where you use it to avoid or put off difficult emotions until later: definitely been guilty of this one too.

Very good points imo Father👍
Feeling good and/or feeling good about yourself albeit weed induced is a far healthier perspective to consider the bigger picture from. I know I come out with some right bollocks when I’m high, but that’s the point- I do KNOW it and find it hilarious. I watch friends on the booze (or nothing at all) and the same bollocks is deadly serious and deadly boring…
I’m happy to get stoned alone and have on the odd occasion found my navel fascinating, but without negative outcomes. But like you say, we are all different. I suppose regardless of the intoxicants, the person that you start with is still there at the finish….😉😎

👍👍
Mushrooms are probably better 🤷‍♂️ but yeah I can certainly see the spiritual mists start to clear when I’m high…depends on the strain/type though- can we have suggestions for best strain for a spiritual awakening? 👍🥹😍

I’d love this too 👆
I definitely find myself in moments of feeling more connected with myself and more aware of colours and sounds around me. I love a smoke while I’m out walking with the dog, paddling in the Irish Sea

Being in nature and around animals stoned is the best , specially when the fishies start talking to ya :D

Never tried them mushrooms! But the right one can certainly take you even further than the Fairy land :D

Your not gonna like it but to be more spiritual,enlightened is to be as pure as you can be,no marijuana or drugs of any kind,also be truthful to yourself and othe beings.

Hehe lot of loopholes in that argument buddy surely?
I can argue that as a plant cannabis is as much a joy of nature as a lettuce. It’s as pure a gift from God as anything else. Only we choose to refer to it as a drug and only some societies still deem it bad or illegal. Throw those man made labels away and maybe it’s the finest tool to finding spiritual enlightenment that exists….why not?…in what way does it strip my ‘purity’ away? 🤔😉

Lettuce was a cheap gift from God, she went all out with cannabis.

Hehe…yeah, some of the gifts were from celestial Asda, some from celestial Waitrose…it’s the natural order of things😂

Voodoo is right. but i like how you are trying to decoy truths. Bunnin' weed isnt pure. Weed is a trap. Illusion of enlightenment but really Lucifer in disguise every rasta knows we all worship Lucifer in disguise. Why we sin and blaze weed.

In the enlightened state as they call it,you need nothing,you have achieved bliss..

Also, if you know how, the body is capable of producing its own cannabinoids.

That's why we have thc receptors in the body

Look at Sadhguru
He's 60 odd yrs old
Complexion of a baby
Always stoned
Living the dream

True Talk.

To answer directly no it does not. spiritual growth solely comes from within, in the sense that connectivity to you mind body and energy need to be retained and an awareness kept throughout all interactions in present.

If you are looking for a spiritual awakening, find a reputable shaman and attend an Ayahuasca tea ceremony, a genuine one. I am going to try shrooms soon, something I've always been interested in and having done a couple of ceremonies I will throw myself in at deep end with shrooms, happy to report back after.

Don't kid yourselves about weed. It can aid but very much indirectly and I'm certain you would arrive at a spiritual awakening much sooner with a sober body mind energy. There's a reason why most spiritual undertaking require you to be sober.

no weed (especially edibles) helps you find it and stay there but
yes this isn't going to happen for everyone or every time. it's still your cpu running.

you're gonna love shrooms k, bon trip.

Mmmh.. I like the things you said.. I also liked that someone else mentioned how weed challenges the ego - that’s so true!! I still sustain that for most cases weed does aid spiritual growth, in my own humble opinion, because if anything it calms people down and that has been a must for every human being in this planet including myself “Calm down..”

Ayahuasca ceremonies are something else different all together. First of all the Shaman guiding the ceremony has to be authentic. Never tried but will someday definitely!
I’d love to hear the mushroom experience..! Just make sure to throw yourself up and high with it. Peace!

Finding Biggy was a spiritual awakening for me 😂

Jet from gladiators was a spiritual awaking for me.

😂

The Ascended Master Bhagwan Rajneesh says that marijuana can give you a glimpse of the beyond… I agree with Him considering that it is factual that the sometimes miraculous herb can open you up to higher states of consciousness..!

Montenegro, Albania, Slovenia, Romania, Gambia, Israel

wasn't really enthused as these were all group trips but fucking hell they were all sick. You could tell em you were going to Somalia and i would probably go with you nowadays, the world is vast, interesting and beautiful

Romania is fantastic👍….Transylvania genuinely spooky…lively and young street drinking culture…stunning women (all vampires obvs)…

I'll second that. I travelled from Cornwall to Bucharest by train last year, them onto Bulgaria. Romania is bloody stunning, especially as the train line followed the Danube and you could see across into Serbia.

krakow poland exemplifies many eras of europe with castles, squares and poignant reminders of ww2. the people are very friendly and the salt mines are a wonder of the world - the spot in the pic is carved out of salt hundreds of feet below ground.

One of the coolest spots on earth

Detroit, laugh all you like but this city has great architecture, music, food and people.

….and some great value real estate in certain parts!👍

Vietnam or Laos. Vietnam blew me away. Favourite spots were Hoi An, Tay Ninh and Can Thó. Stunning.

I'm with you on Vietnam, been there three times. Absolutely beautiful country.

Please god don’t leave the city centre/Cape Town it’s like a different world outside of the capital but I’m from Cape Town ( originally) it’s actually a very western cosmopolitan place like London with a cool “woke” downtown full of expensive bars and Islington/camden style living.

It’s also on the beach with a Mediterranean style climate 1 hour from most national park and safaris.

Despite what you hear in the new it’s actually a pretty good place to live

Yes and Cape Town could use a lot more awokening, the legacy weighs heavy after a while.

Cape Town is literally the last safe place left in South Africa , heavy legacy maybe but the cape is great and comparable to California in the 90s

would you go in the winter?

I was lucky enough to work on festivals/concerts and did a tour of Denmark that place surprised me really nice people, amazing beaches , also the outer Hebrides had amazing beaches

Tblisi

Majestic!

Kolkata. Didn't expect to like it. It is now my favourite city. So intense. Wonderful people. Great food. Amazing architecture.

Lisbon, Portugal is quite underrated. Lovely place, great sea food and amazing views. Although my favourite destination ever is either Tokyo or Toronto. Best holidays I ever had, Tokyo for tourism and Toronto for partying!

West Co Kerry, Ireland. All along the wild atlantic way, Kenmare, Sneem, Glenbeigh, Killarney to name a few stops. So many good spots to stop, fire one up or have a pint and enjoy.

Honestly County Clare in Southern Ireland, my uncle married an Irish girl and moved there.

It really is like father ted there, your neighbours not for miles but you go into the local village and it’s just five pubs all joined on to each other.

The friendliest people I’ve ever met, it almost made not having anything to smoke for a week bearable…almost.

Kampot in Cambodia, went for a week last year and stayed for 3 months.
Beautiful scenery, can blaze pretty much anywhere in most western owned restaurants and bars at least. 50cent beers and a wacky expat crowd. Going back later this year too hopefully for a year 😜

Dont forget kep if youre in the neighbourhood

Think they've finished the concrete road now!

I'm in SR now, for the long haul I hope 😆

What a romantic city, enjoy bigga.

If you’re South Asia bound , Laos although has a clear tourist path nowadays very easy to leave it , Borneo for amazing wildlife that if we carry on will probably be gone in a few years, Hampi in india like being on a weird cross between Mars and ancient civilizations , jailsalmer india again ancient city, for the smokers the himilayas in india

New Zealand is easily the most beautiful place I've ever been. Absolutely stunning. I wasn't particularly excited about going there at first, I thought it would be a bit boring, but after spending a few days on the North Island I completely fell in love with it. I even considered living there for a while.

We drove down from Auckland to Wellington and must have taken thousands of pictures. It's breathtaking. Probably the best two weeks I've ever spent abroad in my life.

When we left Wellington we flew to Melbourne, Australia, (which i was really excited about visiting) and it has to be the single most overrated city on the planet. Couldn't wait to leave. Absolute dump.

Funny how these things turn out sometimes!

Just my opinion though. No offence Melbournians 😉

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

But did you get to South Island BB?….a whole other world again down there!…

I didn't, but oddly enough my phone did!

I left it on the plane from Wellington to Melbourne which flew back to Christchurch where the airport staff found it and mailed it to Aus for me. So my phone has been to more places around the world than I have!

I definitely plan to go back and visit the south island, I've heard only great things. Its such a long way away though or I'd go there all the time.

24 hour flights.... 😒

Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

I’d love to visit NZ, I can speak a bit of Maori because I used to play online with some Maori mates and they’re some of the nicest down to earth people I’ve ever met

Considering it’s just a ferry ride they are completely different worlds…north is all sheep, rolling plains, and long beaches.. South is mad glaciers, extreme sports & penguins…just crazy 🤩👍

Have to say some great picks in this convo the one for me personally is cornwall on a warm clear night the sky is amazing to just be at one with nature and look up at it ;)

Croatia is mesmerizing!

Margate.

It’s a really nice place. I’m not even joking.

Montenegro. Stunning. Also just came back from the Island of Menorca. Stunning place also.

Ceep to the 55th street cuh

can't believe you've already stuck a 1/10 review up

every single order i've had off GC this year i order on monday it arrives on friday, every single one, apart from my order on the 27th of this month which should have taken forever to arrive with xmas delays but it got here on the 28th, i cannot even comprehend how royal mail do this shit

tracked 24 is a known unreliable and slow service, mentioning compensation already is wild lol

Bang on hesh, leaving a 1/10 is very harsh. Green Cat’s Bud is always on point but definitely not a vendor to order from if you’re about to run out.

I do have sympathy for the OP being without a smoke on New Year’s, but putting it all on Green Cat and leaving a 1/10 is unfair imo.

Agree….and as for the question in the review “what would you do in my shoes?”…well I think we can all think of answer for that one can’t we?! 🤔

It always takes a few days from GC - he's a one man band as far as I know so its fully understandable. It always arrives and is top quality so worth the wait.

Just unlucky.

I wish you the best of luck with finding a local plug for New Year.

Something mustve arrived, did you order from the Psychonauts too because youre clearly tripping?
Comp for sending your stuff the next day is really some of the maddest shit ive seen since the recent fees!

Ok but imagine what happens if that shows up tomorrow which it might, you might be able to adjust your review and apologise to Cat but you cant delete this post, Green Cat is one of the few vendors whose packages can arrive on a Sunday, all mine from Cat take 3/4 days so it really might still arrive, it wouldve been better to keep your powder dry for a while longer maybe.

Your issue is with Royal Mail not GC. Posting this makes you look like an idiot and giving a 1/10 is totally pathetic

Had your coins cleared before the 3pm cut off?

What irks me here is that it's not been the three days stated for postage.

Probs wont come on Saturday but the track 24 been known to drop on Sundays.

Sorry about your new year bud, one of the best vendors on here but I always expect 5 working days for it to drop, his quality for the price is always worth the wait, 1/10 is harsh mate, I certainly wouldn’t want to isolate myself from this vendor and I’m not sure if in his position I would accept any more orders. Given the time of year you may of been a bit hasty here I hope you get it sorted

Maybe you should ask Jesus to sort out your order then 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

This is a very old thread when he had a problem in the summer I think

It's from months a go thats why you had to scroll halfway down his page to find it.

It's not GCs fault you left it so late for a delivery over the holidays mate that 1/10 is so harsh man.

Anything by Elton John fucking hate the cunt and his music, my wife ruined my Xmas day few years back by telling me a gay singer i didnt like had died.
I was so exited then she told me it was George Michael and i was gutted.

Nearly choked when i read this, im a terrible person lol

and i feel better about myself, you know plotting his murder and all. george michael on the other hand was a genius and worth a quickie in the facility of his choosing

Hahahaha

Hahahaha, I actually like Elton, well as much as a straight man can but that made me laugh man.

Tiny Dancer and Rocket Man are OK songs. Other than that Elton John is soooooo overrated.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Your terrible mate im rofl

Fairground simply red, gives me violent thoughts of grabbing mick by his flowing red curls and bouncing his head of every hard surface available. Total pissflap

i went straight to the curls when you said simply red

Yeah anything by Simply Red can give me Forrest Whittaker eye but Fairground is especially bad

Listen too long and you get Evander Holyfield ear.

😆Evand-Ear!

If i listened for too long i'd be praying for Iron Mike to turn up 😬👂🏻

stop, you're making me hungry

Come on Eileen, it is the worst thing ever created. Can’t stand the guys voice.

And imagine being called Eileen when it came on down the pub back in the day…. Poor cow needed 3 packs of baby wipes.

oh were gonna cum on eileen alright

oh come on

God save the queen.

Two things that influence our lives so much but aren’t real

we mean it man

Too many but Will Smith - Wild Wild West has got to be up there surely. It’s like some record execs put a gun to his head and said ‘Dance bitch!’

Do you think they did it again to willow ? I whip my hair even for a 13 year old was fucking awful

that movie had so much going for it and they still blew it, would make a better series than a lot of shit

Nothing Compares to You by Sinead Depressing Cunt O'Connor that song has the warmth and charm of a dead Rat lying next to a used Tampon.

i dont mean to get personal but why did you need the rat if you had a tampon?

this is hilarious :)))))))

Isn't it just.... I'm reading this thread howling. Great start to day

That Barbie girl tune, need I say why! Lol
And the “grandma I love you” tune, showing my age! Lol
