astral and weed

Hi dude,

I do like to reply to these weed questions very much ;D
Yes, it will affect very much. As of my experience with weed and also weed is considered as anti-dream herb, so you don't get dream after you smoke weed.
There are many hermits in India, where they smoke weed and sit for meditation for days together without any food or anything else, It actually also acts as a agent to increase your concentration.

So if you going to try weed, think twice, Whether you are going to try meditation or astral projection or Lucid dream. :)
No dreams, but you can be in a though free state for more time if you meditate :)

I agree with Jeff, if you want the best chances of AP, don't smoke weed before trying it.  It won't make it impossible it depends on a lot of circumstances, I Ap'ed once drunk and a little high (involuntary sleep paralysis if i remember correctly)  I don't remember how many hours it was before I smoked.

HOWEVER, let me tell you a little story of when I first started AP.  It was very hard for me to not get too excited, soon my heart rate would increase and I would wake up.  Sometimes I couldn't always stay relaxed enough to transition from sleep paralysis (the experience was intense and I wasn't always mentally ready for it).  I never liked weed at this point.  But one summer night at a party I smoked because my friends all asked me too.  And I thought it was great, and as I ran home I realized that this strange experience felt very similiar to an AP.  This got me very excited to try AP again, and I began to have AMAZING success (a large part of that was due to that realization, which increased by ability to relax and just go with it, don't fight it).  I felt like I became this pyschedelic zen warrior.

So in terms of your question, that is how weed has helped me astral project (but not doing it while high).  IMO, weed is a tool,  but it has to be used intelligently and not abused.

btw, when I smoke moderately high amounts, I feel like I am in an AP

Lol. I agree bbaccs ( don't know your name :P ). Sometimes when I weed, even I feel like I'm in an AP.

Cheers Dude :)

Well here is the problem with marijuana and dreams. Everyone is affected by the weed differently and different types of marijuana cause different affects. I have personally had some good lucid experiences while going to sleep really high. It depends on the person and the strain of weed. Sooner or later someone will come along and run tests to see just how it affects your dreams. I have also astral projected while high and it was amazing. There are so many variables that can affect the dream state that it really can't be stated as a fact that marijuana helps lucid dreaming and or astral projection or makes it harder to do these things.
