The PS Culture

With the new year comes a new name for the blog. “Proud Smoke Culture” Which in a sense is what I would like to share with the rest of the world through this blog. I have integrated these ideas into my life over the last four or five years and have since enjoyed a peaceful and balanced life through the use of cannabis as a medicinal and meditative herb.

The Current Issue

Throughout our world today people are pre programmed with stereotypes about all subgroups of human beings. Assuming that someone who smokes marijuana is a lazy, unambitious, slob is in my books as close to bigotry as assuming every homosexual flicks their wrist and speaks with a lisp. Cannabis has been an integral part of our culture as a human race for as long as 3000 years and with good reason. Through the responsible use of cannabis many can find  an understanding  and balance within themselves that they have never experienced before. However some of the side effects of cannabis can be demotivating at times when consumed in excess. This can be true in any drug however rather than anal bleeding, lung failure and death; the only side effects are exceptional thought, over eating, dehydration and sleep.

The Future

Now as we’ve seen with all of the previously discussed negative side effects, the use of cannabis can put a hinder on productivity at times. This is where I come in; I would like to teach the world how to live a balanced life through the intelligent and moderate use of cannabis. In future posts I will discuss topics such as how to choose a bong, and the difference between rolling papers and why some are better. I want to teach as many people as I can that there is an actual sophisticated and educated class of people who enjoy cannabis as an integral part of their lives. Its time to do away with the stereotypes and understand that there are many positive ways in which cannabis can enrich one’s life.

The First Step

The first step into our culture is to really understand why you use cannabis. Find the underlying reasons and not just the obvious ones such as “It helps me sleep” or “It makes me more creative”. Everyone enjoys cannabis for different reasons but I’ve also found that there are many different aspects of our lives that it can have an effect on. For me personally It serves many purposes such as a sleep aide, a pain killer, muscle relaxant during muscle recovery and anti-depressant. It helps me with anxiety and stage fright and even boosts my appetite in the morning enough to eat a full breakfast which they have always told me is the most important meal of the day.

Once you understand why you use this particular herbal remedy you can start to measure out your limits and boundaries. If you don’t know why you are smoking herb in the first place it can be difficult to know when to stop. This is prominent in all settings. If you happen to be enjoying cannabis in a social setting understand that you are doing so to promote conversation and a common bond. So once you have reached the optimum point of brain/mouthpiece activity respectfully excuse yourself from the rotation. I am here to promote a pride in the use of cannabis in any capacity and to it’s full capacity.

There is no peer pressure, there is no judgement, there is no taboo. There is only our culture and we’re proud of it.
