Last Dance with Mary Jane

“Pot: smokeable amnesia.”
When The Chemical Buddha was smoking pot he couldn’t remember what he’d just said let alone what he was going to do or what he had been doing. To him, pot was the perfect way to release all attachments to the past. Another benefit is it helped him enjoy every little moment of life. Like the taste, texture and colors of the world around him. And everything he ate was ‘the best ever!’ Of course smoking weed also helped him loose all attachment to getting shit done. Along with any motivation for being successful. So while it was a mixed bag of benefits, The Chemical Buddha thought the positives far outweighed the negatives. But labels like ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ always depended upon your perspective. And what end of the bong you were on.
What do you need to forget?
How would you benefit from slowing down and taking in what the world has to offer?

Hurts so Good

"Buddha meditates to alleviate pain and suffering. Chemical Buddha medicates to numb pain and suffering."
Buddhist believe that through meditation one could see pain and suffering as impermanent and merely amusing occurrences that come and go. But The Chemical Buddha invested a lot in his pain and suffering. Some might say that it was how he defined himself and was his reason for being. So he found it easier to just numb whatever he didn't want to experience. It was a lot faster than sitting on a cushion for hours on end. Although, as far as we know, he never tried meditation. So rather than breathing into anything uncomfortable he didn't want to experience and slowly releasing his attachment to it, he would just drink, smoke or orgasm it away. And, on rare occasion, do all three at once.
What painful experiences are you attached to?
How might accepting the past, rather than wishing it didn't happen, allow you to move on?
