G-stuff T.R.I.P

Mandatory Intro: 

The title might appear new to some, but I suppose that some learned people have already decrypted it. In addition to that, a mandatory simplification for Neanderthals. One prefers calling it Grass, Ganja, Hashish, Hemp, Hash, or simply Marijuana, completely up to their biases. Honestly, while surfing through the internet to dig out more information as to the greeny-pointed leaf, I gathered that there are more than 1200 terminologies dedicated to the exceedingly controversial leaf. Wooooow! 1200, a big number. I used to believe that the Hindu religion's most revered gods--Shiva and Vishnu have the privileged authority to be called out by several eccentric names. 

Well, if a  greeny matter that is so much adored by one of them, then some authority has to be granted to the plant too. To each their own, I too have the privilege to re-christen it. Very fittingly, I'll address it as Green Stuff(G-Stuff).

How did it come to light?

G-stuff has been floating around for centuries now. It is relatively elderly stuff and was traditionally utilized for major clinical utility. Interestingly, its mention has been observed in one of the most revered scriptures of Atharva Veda as among 5 sacred plants. In Ayurvedic pedagogy, it had been scripted as being the elixir of life. 

Hundreds of problems have been registered to be cured. Several glitches, inside the body, were banked on to resolve, owing to its healing property. its benefits, as a medicine have been eternally hailed and honored in Ayurvedic scriptures.

But with time, a slight shift happened as regards its usage, and it gained high popularity and recreational identity among some off-center people. it was seen to alleviate anger and to relax the mind. With this, the usage started to spread like a wildfire. And this way, the world was introduced to 'High Culture.

What is the extent and ambit of fan following?

Seemingly, it is among those kinds of intoxicants which have acquired the most loyal consumers, making it a supremely treasured intoxicant. Not only do they vouch for its alleged goodness but they also cast scientific backings.

 They develop a basic instinct for countering every criticism propelled toward them. Because of its medical benefits, some also assume it to be completely free of negative upshots.

There has been enough noise about the legalization of G-stuff, but the regulatory bodies have never been that authoritarian to even stop the distribution. 

So, starkly worthless proposal.

Speaking of the fans or rather devotee, there is a legitimate community of these devotees, who supports the usage with their green heart and green soul.

                                   These potheads are no less loyal than Potterheads.

What is so unique about it?

The uniqueness lies in the Trip. Yes, 'Trip'. Simply put, it is the experience one has after smoking. One of the most intriguing attributes of G-stuff. Moreover, the way it affects the brains of different individuals is more or less alike. However, the sheer experience is contrasting. One person's experience might not collide with another person's experience. Over and above that, the contrasting level is so high that one person's experience can make them addicted while another person's experience can make them a critic. 

Hence, it is quite difficult to foresee how well the G-stuff hit an individual, granting it the unpredictability tag.

Having said that, let's walk through the uncanny experience bestowed by G-stufffff.

As said, the experiences vary per individual. There is an ambit of experiences that people encounter.

For instance, on one side of the spectrum, one feels it very soothing, mellowing and comforting. As if earthly trauma and distress have gone on a vacation.

All the feel-good hormones start to compete with each other to provide much-needed comfort.

Life seems to pace down a bit. 

Every problem sidetracks.

Concerns become merely an 8-lettered word.

The person wants to assimilate the stark pleasure of the presented moment. 

While on another side of the spectrum, it opens up the minds of the person. Providing greater analysing power. Making the person observe and analyse more than regular. Removes all the checkpoints in the brain, creating more space to look deeper into a thing. it can also allow surfacing some potential trait of the individual about which they are unaware of.

Moreover, a section of people also experiences the dreary face of it. This is, very rightfully, termed as 'Bad Trip'. it is the worst that one can imagine having when high on G-stuff. Quite interestingly, G-stuff is known to bring peace and to open up the quotient, but when the body doesn't accept it the conventional way and backfires, it gives birth to 'Bad Trip '. Once, your body sits on this ride, time relaxes. It passes by as if put on the cartwheel. With that, fear, anxiety, nervousness, and suffocation seeps in, making it more so difficult to endure the phase. Nothing could possibly bring composure or tranquillity. Seconds feel like a minute and a minute feels like an hour. Senses open up to the supremacist extent. The world seems to narrow down to a minuscule dimension, making the experience more so suffocating. Gloomy thoughts start to overpower. Negative and dark aspects of life start to surface. Living in the state seems like monumental punishment.

It surely comes to an end within hours, but this roller-coaster ride is definitely not apt for another conscious attempt.

Having stated a truck of different responses to G-stuff, I wouldn't hesitate to accept that the stated experiences belong to a single section of the pie, and possibly there are more eccentric episodes that one sees actualizing while taking in green fumes, making it greatly dubious.
