Absolutely i connect with so much you're saying and experiencing. its like when I'm sober I'm hooping and enjoying the joy it brings me, but the motions are thought out or I'm rehearsing a trick or just all around trying. and when I get a little lift in my lungs the nature of my hoop is just known to me, the trys and attempts aren't focused on it just happens and for that time i exist in the hoop and i don't know I think the herb just enhances connection and that really sticks out in your mind so its like almost when you hoop on herb your mind connects to. that time and the feeling more than when your sober.

glad a lot of people feel the same way about this...smoking has always been a spiritual thing for me and adding hooping on it is AMAZING :D

I have a really bad problem with anxiety, and I can't really hoop sober. I know this is bad because many people see the herb as a crutch and see dependence on it as pathetic, but I do not. I know that when I hoop, people look; I mean, it's cool, it's different, and it's not really something you see everywhere and have thus tuned out of your minds eye... it's eye catching! I love hooping when no one is around, and I can hoop sober this way, however, in public, if I'm not to a solid 5 (at least), I start having anxiety attacks, shaking, can't breathe, sweating from places I didn't know COULD sweat. I "hear" all the judgmental comments and negative things anyone has ever said to a hooper: attention whore, slut... list goes on... and it ruins hooping for me.

I learn best when I'm a little baked as well. I'm pretty OCD/perfectionist, and when I make a mistake, I'm pretty brutal on myself, add a little herbal to this, and I'm a LOT more forgiving of my own mistakes, and instead, I learn from them like you're supposed to! I used the herb to replace the medications I was taking for depression, anxiety, and pain, and now, I'm more myself then I've ever been in my whole entire life. It makes me sad when I see people who don't understand that just because the ganj makes some of us silly, doesn't mean it does that for everyone, nore does it make it bad. When people find out I smoke, they're typically in a state of "Nooooooooooo..... proove it, you're a liar" because I never look or act high, but if you see me, I'm probably up there, but you would just see me happy and enjoying life.
