Few places in the world feel as amazing as they look. No human cities give me the feeling of wonder and inspiration that an unspoiled natural place can. And of all the destinations I’ve seen and experienced, few places in the world feel like the Rocky Mountains do. Not only are they stunning, white-tipped (most of the year) and colossal, but they offer a unique look into the natural living world of our precious planet. When I lived in Colorado, I spent many days and nights hiking and camping along the elevated regions west of Denver, and they’ve found a place near and dear to my heart.
So much so that I lived in the Centennial State for a few years during the early days after prohibition ended, and I will forever cherish that time spent in the Rockies. Why? Because people always remember how you made them feel, right? And the same is true of natural places, some of which are more powerful than human interaction. Like when I spent a couple of weeks touring the Scottish Highlands… I went to powerful Glencoe and weeped. And for me, not being one of much tears, that was strange and yet, wonderful. A day later, a local explained to me that a great battle had occurred there, one of two rivaling families, which ended in a heartbreaking massacre of most of who was involved. And when I was there, knowing nothing of its history, I felt the sorrow, the power, and the soul of the place.
That sort of feeling and experience is possible in a lot of natural areas, which may be why Native Americans often claimed a certain track of land was sacred. I wish our ancestors would have listened. In the Rockies, I almost always feel something, like a presence, or an energy that brings a sincere feeling of peace and belonging that I never feel in the hustle and bustle of the modern human world. When I feel that ‘other’ feeling, I am often reminded that we’ve lost our way through the generations, and that the more I explore the natural wildernesses, the more I will reconnect and feel as humans once did.
When I was in Colorado, I thoroughly enjoyed the new and exciting culture that has been taking the state by storm, and never had the medicinal effects of cannabis been so strong on influencing my emotions and spiritual connection to life on this planet than when I was in those mountains. Nothing is better than packing up the car and heading up into the mountains, far from the cities and the people, the cars, trains, and planes, and to camp and simply be among the elevated forests, except when inspired by the effects of this medicinal herb.
Cannabis expands the neural pathways of the brain, inspiring true creative and strategic thought, where one might have been lacking, and bridges a connection to the natural world from which we were born of, so when you’re sitting there in the forest, where you hear nothing but the winds and the animals, there’s a special feeling and awareness that descends over you. So, not only are you thinking deeper than before, you are curious and inspired and impassioned, and since you’re influenced by this planet ally, you are connecting at a deeper level than you may ever have. That is what happened to me, and continues to happen to me in places natural and unspoiled. The one time I stayed at a very high elevation, the night cleared and the heavens were revealed among the stars clearer than I had ever experienced before, and in that moment, I understood my place in the world, and the why’s of existentialism no longer mattered as much as the love and appreciation I felt within my soul.
When I would go out among the wilderness, I never wished to flirt with the possibility of inspiring a wildfire, so I would always use a vaporizer, for its discretion as well as its flavor and convenience, and of course, lack of flame. One of my favorites is the 5th Degree Vaporizer by Prohibited, because it’s very versatile, edgy looking and reliable.
The 5th Degree vape is an all-in-one device that works with dry herb, wax and concentrates, dabbers, and even has an e-rig setup, so you can use the same thing for all of your vices. You can drop in your herb, or even cartridges, as well as concentrates with no issue. The oven chamber heats up quickly, utilizing conduction as it transforms your favorite substance to rich clouds of vapor. All in all, the 5th Degree is a great, pocket-sized vaporizer that can handle a variety of uses.
