The Downside of Ganja

(6)

You might not believe this, but I still have almost a half-pint of Canadian Mist left to imbibe. I am learning! I am learning to intervene from time to time with a 3.2 beer so as to limit the rate of drunkedness (tap) and to therefore extend the time of 'reason over emotion' in this blog. As I have writ before, alcohol diminishes the logical mind and enhances the emotional mind such that the imbalance rapidly becomes ludicrous. Right?

So this interjection of a 3.2 beer now and then is an attempt by the logical mind to intervene in what was previously a process dominated entirely by the emotional mind. It seems to be more or less successful in this particular case. I only wish I had a little Ganja. Ganja would add the definitive information in this regard. But there is no Ganja.

As I have said before, Ganja is the 'blessed terminator' to a booze high. Without Ganja I will go on and on tonight drinking whatever is available - up to a point. But suppose I had a bowl of my weak Ganja available!

In that case I would smoke it about now. The Ganja would 'hit me' almost immediately. I would be transported into another, more beautiful world. I would immediately lose all desire to 'become higher' because my new Alcohol-Ganja state was about as high as I ever wanted to go and probably somewhat higher. For about an hour or so I would be in the Judeo-Muslim-Christian Paradise (or at least my personal version of it) with absolutely no desire.

But after about another hour or so I would straighten up and become hungry - devolop the 'munchies.' I would eat anything and everything in sight. This is the downside of Ganja.

Diet and Ganja do not go well together. Given the current state of national obesity the laws against Ganja seem to acquire relevance. This brings us to LSD: does LSD tend to decrease appetite? That is the question.
