There’s a part of me making, creating the perceptions which in everyday life would be bizarre; there’s another part of me which is a kind of observer. About half of the pleasure comes from the observer-part appreciating the work of the creator-part.
I smile, or sometimes even laugh out loud at the pictures on the insides of my eyelids. In this sense, I suppose cannabis is psychotomimetic, but I find none of the panic or terror that accompanies some psychoses. Possibly this is because I know it’s my own trip, and that I can come down rapidly any time I want to.

Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit … unnatural?

The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world..

Marijuana Manifesto
What better time to confess my undying love for natures wonderful gift, than my 420th post!
For me, marijuana has been a truly humbling, life changing plant. The first time i smoked in my late teens, my grasp of consciousness, perception & reality were indelibly altered forever. My fascination with the conscious mind was blasted into hyperspace, as I first saw how powerful this plant teacher can be.
When I finally took the plunge I found my senses altered like never before. Music took on an all together new sheen, vivid imagery accompanied every note as I lay back on my bed with my eyes closed. Floating through the vast expanses of my closed eyelids I remember the profound sense of wonder, of beauty, of love that I felt that day.
Everything I saw took on a new and dream like quality. A simple peach was a gift from the gods, its exquisite textures and taste exploding with each mouthfull..I had never experienced anything like it in my life..
The complete and total opposite of the alcoholic inebration I had only known up until then, this plant ally was allowing me into the deepest reaches of my mind I had ever gone into..
Up until that point in my life I had often been an angry and impatient teenager. Lashing out at the slightest of trivial things. That was, until I was able to step back from myself, and reflect upon the person I had been and some of my actions up until that point. Smoking helped show me things about myself, and why I had been that way. Best of all, it helped me change those negative qualities, letting go of anger, resentment & hatred as I could clearly see where they had come from.
Since that first day, marijuana has been, and always will be, a plant ally of mine. I take breaks every now and then, don’t go overboard or smoke myself into a stupor every day, because I believe it to be a gift, a gift that is to be respected and cherished.
So yes,
I inhaled, still inhale, and will forever inhale.
Mary Jane,
I love you.

Let us declare nature to be legitimate. All plants should be declared legal, and all animals for that matter. The notion of illegal plants and animals is obnoxious and ridiculous in the first place..
