Marijuana; How it Affects the Human Brain.

Pot is probably the only non-addictive psychotropic drug on the planet. My intention is to elucidate how pot works on the human brain and how people get addicted to it. For this, I shall break it into three stages which the pot user will go through if he smokes up without a break.

The first stage I shall call it 'The Euphoria'. This is a stage in which the user is not aware of its potential defects and goes into a trance along with the use of the substance. Just like any new thing would work on your system, pot also works its ways in your system. All your senses gets heightened and you enjoy it to the maximum. This is called the 'high'. Cannabis Sativa gives you a high whereas Cannabis Indica makes you feel 'stoned'.

The second stage, I would call it 'The Confused' state. This state is very much obscure for the user while smoking as his brain is confused most of the time, but the mind doesn't want to let go of the substance. The user soon finds out that only if you give it a break, can the substance affect you in an undesirable manner. Hence the user gives it more and more importance than before. He/She becomes a frequent user. This is the point where it can become addictive. This stage is characterized by the lack of basic motor skills like walking, driving etc. If he uses frequently, another type of reality emerges in the users mind where everything looks unreal. This is the withdrawal symptom. The user then smokes up again to make sense of his surroundings. If the person still isn't satisfied with its effects, he moves into the third stage.

I would like to call this stage 'The Chaos'. In this stage, the user tries to avoid smoking marijuana and will resort to some other 'uppers' like cocaine or MDMA. This is because the user has lost track of reality and he is completely dependent on substances for his day to day activities. To talk, the user needs alcohol, to think he/she needs pot. If the user still continues to use pot, it will lead to the loss of his/her mind. This is the extreme level to which marijuana can take you. Self destruction is the end result of marijuana addiction. So my advise to you all is not to smoke this deadly substance, instead use your brain to control your mind and the senses. If you do that, you will get enough euphoria from the nature itself.

Yours truly.

Imagination.

The world, we imagine it to be real. But we need strong imagination to thrive on. Imagination is the linchpin of success. People who have strong imagination tend to be successful in their lives. Take up an idea and make that idea your whole life[sic.]. The power of the mind is so intense that your idea, if imagined to be very strong will be manifested in some form or the other. People say don't be selfish, but selfishness to an extend is needed in the present world. If you become successful, share it, because you cannot claim to have reached heights only by yourself. Have gratitude and supply for the needy. If you do good, good will always have a way of coming back to you. It might not be from the same person but from a different person in a different form it will always find you. A pure mind devoid of all negativity will do only good things. That is real beauty. External appearance may define a person to an extent but inside matters the most. If you can be good and do good at t

Supernatural

I have just finished watching "The Conjuring" and they claim it to be a true story. I don't want to appear skeptical and say that its not. It would be a total disrespect for the efforts of the exorcists both abroad and inside the country. So that leaves us with a question. Does God and the devil exist? No would be the answer. I am not being self contradictory by making such a statement. 'Isha Vasyam Idam Sarvam' This is the very first verse of The Ishavasya Upanishad, which means cover up the whole universe in terms of GOD. So the whole world becomes god and even the devil will be god. If you completely understand this concept, then its unnecessary to read all the scriptures, but sadly this cannot be explained more that this as it is to be experienced and not told, which is impossible. Then what are these supernatural occurrences?  I wouldn't say that it is god, indeed it is the devil. But one thing that we must understand is the power of our minds. The mi

Pirates of The Caribbean

The idea of the character named Jack Sparrow got into me the moment I watched him on the screen. All the five movies in my opinion are top notch. In light of the recently released  movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", I would like to point out a few things which I noticed. This tale gives us the details on how Jack Sparrow became "Captain" Jack Sparrow. The moment he was conferred upon with this title, we can see his amazing 'spontaneous plans' in action. I use this term to indicate that his maneuvers are a mixture of both luck and grace. The idea behind jack's character to me, seems as though they are trying to say that, even a really skilled man can be given such a derogatory term as that of a pirate. But Jack always is "drunk, with a smile on his face". The film takes up multiple issues like religion, role of science, contemporary English society, Gender and so on. This film critiques the religion for not accepting
