Smoking :lol:

Explain smoking to an alien.. its rather weird when you think about it.

Like, what the fucks coming out of his mouth?.. looks hilarious.

I have never smoked a cigarette in my life. Never saw the point. Expensive, stinks, and...well, that's pretty much it...

Weed is different. But, I rarely smoke that either...

Except what about a proper good cigar?

Anyone else here into cigars?

i can definitely dig this argument...

however...

why are lungs one of two organs that heal themselves naturally?

why are there receptors for such chemicals located within the lungs?

seems as though (to me, imo), if it wasnt meant to be, it wouldnt... yeh?

i dont smoke green or cigs (i use a vape for green)... but it always fascinates me that our bodies are designed the way they are

I love a good cigar.
Recently smoked a Cohiba Siglo IV. A serious smoke, took me over 3 hours to smoke.

I guess our physical bodies are designed well to handle smoking.
But im sure those properties were originally here to protect us from natural, harmful chemicals. Not inhaled tobacco or whatever..

Still, im not anti smoking. Its quite nice in some situations.. And it looks jokes.
But if its a hot day and you just want to relax, having a cigarette should be the last thing on your mind.

gotta go see the doctor on thursday about it.
how'd that go mate?

I took drugs because I was lazily impatient
so looking for a short-cut to happiness.

At one level I achieved that
but at the expense of getting there with regrets
about what I've put my brain & body thru
to access to the illusory overmind

If yu can get there with
meditation &/or adventure,

can you understand what I'm saying without being stoned or pissed?
if so, then you don't need drugs

a psychotherapist perhaps might get this far.

fellow temporary passengers on this planet:
we are beginning to plan how to do it:
travel to Alpha Centauri leaving 2227:
arbitrary but, eventually, necessary


this is a well-considered project
which I will not take part in physically
but that's the vision in a dream


it being real or unreal
is, again, irrelevant.

and from this mindset
I urge yu not to need
to divulge what you now know:




200 years from 2007
there will be a departure for the stars
from a reinvigorated planet
left verdant and vibrant
by the same organic technology as builds the Pneuplanet

You will be so high when you have a bong, go on, try it! ;)

I don't smoke tobacco at all, but am partial to a pipe/bong on occasion.

so i been reading these books about kabbalah and they're all about getting rid of the ego n stuff and talking about daily annoyances n stuff that are moment to moment, and anytime you're annoyed it's the ego, and you gotta learn how to recognize when the ego is taking control so that you can step out of it and observe it. they say in kabbalah that any amount of spiritual development you do is irreversible. so i been recognizing this a lot in my life, and in other people, etc, and i have come to a conclusion.

smoking weed is good karma. it releases the ego's grip a bit. it also tends to make you feel like sharing. i've got a whole book about how the secret is to develop a sharing nature.

Oh, I see the inevitable has happened and a drugs thread has turned into a pseudo philosophy/explain smoking to an alien isn't it LOL thread...

just needing to throw the word pseudo in like that is a huge ego stroke. some pot might help you with that karma.

Wasn't trying to offend, broseph. Chill.

Also, if karma is real, I am way too far into the minus points to try to bump it into the positive now.

it's called the secret by michael berg.

also i don't think it really works like you go negative. i reckon it's more like having bad eyesight. or a bad prescription on your eye glasses. like being tone deaf or color blind.
