What is Cannastories?
Cannastories is a blog about my exploration of the highs of the cannabis plant. I am a recreational consumer of marijuana southwest of Denver (Don't worry, this is all perfectly legal) who enjoys music, nature, and a little bit of weed. This blog intends to enlighten the world on the positive effects of marijuana in moderation. I will share all my experiences as I explore my relaxed, creative, free mind. I compose symphonies, read books, research mathematics and physics, and camp. All of these I love doing naturally, but sometimes I enjoy doing one or two of them a little high, for a little extra experience. Sobriety is valuable, but so is a high experience. I will share stories of things I do high, and things I do sober. This is my life, spiced with some herb.
How is this legal? How is this responsible?
As a resident in the state of Colorado, USA, marijuana is legal for recreational consumption. As a responsible citizen I follow the law regarding the regulations, such as age restrictions, limits to stashes, etc. I also have personal morals that guide me in my consumption. I believe that moderation is the key -- I will not be a chronic stoner who smokes to stay high. That is not the purpose of the legality of cannabis, nor should it be a motive for consumption. I smoke to relax and open my mind, to unwind from a tough week, to obtain creative inspiration, and to enjoy myself. I have friends who smoke, and weed is a part of some of those relationships. It is not the founding of the relationship, nor is it a critical point. It simply improves friendships and paves the way for a good time away from the pressures of human expectation and away from the disadvantages of mental corruption.
Tell us about yourself.
As I have stated, I am a resident in Colorado, USA. I live in the suburbs of Denver. I attend collage in town, studying computer science and mathematics, with a physics minor. I am a very active student, both academically and through extra curricular. I play bass clarinet in various wind ensembles, and baritone saxophone in my my community's jazz band. I do not live with my parents, but I spend lots of time visiting with my family. Outside of school, I compose symphonies and chamber music. Unfortunately I have not published any material yet, but that might change this summer as I finish "An Ocean Overture" for wind symphonies. In addition to writing music, I write code on and off for various projects. When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a video game developer. I still do, but as I have matured that goal does not promise what I wanted from the video game career. Creativity is my passion -- I engineer circuits in Minecraft (I'm working on a simple 4-bit fully functional CPU unit with math functions and memory space); I write philosophical essays and write creatively; I compose; I code. I document my thoughts and emotions, ideas and intuition, on both paper and on screen.
I suffer from Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, as well as from social anxiety. I require time alone form the social pressures, time to think and relax, time to unwind and be one with nature. Marijuana helps with my disabilities. My ADHD medication (methlyphenidate) kills may appetite and blocks excess thoughts from distracting me. I am severely underweight, and the lack of stimulation from my medicine causes great anxiety. Cannabis helps with both.
I am a creative student. A composer, programmer, and philosopher, I think and create. My mind is existential. Come, read and be amazed at the world of the musical and lingual artist with a cannabis lens.
