Happy Weed Day/Month! On 420 Eve I went to Chabot Space & Science Center, located in Oakland hills in sequoia forest, to attend a lecture The Botanical Genius of Cannabis by David Presti ( professor of neurobiology at UC Berkeley) One of the statements he made I found interesting: "If plants had IQ the cannabis would rank as a genius."
I have to admit, I do not actually know how to get high on marijuana. I usually just fall asleep without experiencing the magic of altered consciousness. (I guess I fall unconscious.) Once I had a real bad trip by eating too much of a dark chocolate with weed. I felt heavy is if a ton of cement had fallen on me and my ability to put sentences together slowed down tremendously. Even to say just yes or no was a huge effort, and of course, I though I was going to die.
The lecture at Chabot's Planetarium followed by Pink Floyd's The wall and Dark Side of the Moon laser show which felt slightly psychedelic and I liked it.
Here is Presti's short piece on Leary in case anyone is interested:
