Yes, I can be wrong (sometimes 😜). And it’s a privilege to receive constructive feedback from our community when things can be clarified.
Having said that, I got push-back from my blog last week in regard to my mention of THC distillate being referred to in some circles as “THC crack”.
But as I realize now, I ended up throwing the baby out with the bathwater and have some amends to make as I explain in this week’s blog:
What happened was that I questioned distillates as a vehicle to higher consciousness suggesting THC distillate is more of a vehicle to emotional numbing.
Well, I misspoke and let me tell you why.
Actually, it doesn’t matter what form THC comes in, because THC, in any form, whether it’s flower or concentrates – can be turned into a vehicle for numbing, if that is what the person wants. For example, if somebody is smoking high THC flower or dabbing THC concentrates multiple times a day, it’s a prescription for emotional numbing.
And, having said that, here’s where my apology and clarification come: that just like cannabis flower, concentrates – like distillate, wax, shatter and oil, can also be used successfully for Inner exploration. In fact, colleagues tell me that oftentimes concentrates where terpenes, for instances, have been removed, work better for them. They have a more clear-headed psycho-activity for that inner exploration.
The understanding of cannabis concentrates and when and how to apply them is a high level of sophistication. I mean the person who’s just beginning to explore cannabis’ ability to help them be in touch with their Inner Self, needs simple and straightforward approaches first and foremost. Much of our community is at this early stage – you gotta start somewhere.
But above all, I stick with my suggestion to “Start low and go slow” and at the same time, as you gain experience, don’t be afraid to go all the way!”
What’s your thinking on the subject? Have I made proper amends? Let me know in the comments section below.
I’m BW, And I want you to lead a magnificent life. And I want to help you do that.
So big of you to make this follow up blog and be open and willing to take feedback as constructive and learn and grow from it! Great video and information being shared. Thank you for helping yourself and others!
I admire and respect your response to the feedback/criticism you received, and I also respect and admire those that spoke up!
The beautiful part about it is that the constructive feedback offered has always been smart and respectful. I love our community!
I’m happy with the flower I get in the 15-25% THC level; distillates and other products seem extreme. And consistently using multiple times a day doesn’t sound good to me. I enjoy taking a vacation from cannabis occasionally, like when we travel. When you come back it’s even better.
Great comments from Travis, thank you!
Hi David, Yes, I’m learning the “vacation” part! Honestly, if I could do it – that is if my body and brain would allow it – I might well dwell in a deep cannabis-amplified Inner space far more than navigating the pedestrian world. However, in the end, I know our very reason for living is to learn our lessons in this pedestrian world. So, I go in and I come out, ever more ready and able to BE HERE NOW.
First, and most importantly, openly sharing mistakes and second thoughts is to be commended. At a time when our greatest leader would not only fail to give this powerful example but would actually condemn the practice as a weakness, I appreciate seeing figures doing the opposite. Sincerely. Second, I agree with the feedback your community gave. I’ve made and retailed and wholesaled every cannabis type product there is over the last decade. They are all so different, and each of us a difference multiplied. For me, distillate in a safe cartridge (metals tested specifically, is a great form. It is… Read more »
Travis, such wisdom you share for us to optimally dance with the Plant – and with such eloquence. I agree the most important foundation for beginners (and actually all of us) is to always observe the 1) the where and 2) the who. In other words, we want to be very present with the set & setting. That’s why in my online gatherings, I encourage everyone in their respective environments to create for themselves a cozy and comfortable place to sit. And we affirm together the power of our thoughts as we move into powerful practices that evoke whatever is… Read more »
