What Is It To Be High?

Hello everyone.

I really want to know what it is to be high, i know the chemical process but i am really interested in what it's like for each individual.
I'll go first.
I feel socially retarded, i feel like everything i say is weird and nobody really understands what i'm talking about. I analyze things, i think about how other people think and how i think, i wonder whats going on with the muscles when i walk, i really break EVERYTHING down. Then i tell people and they just kind of ignore me because i don't think i make allot of sense when i explain myself...

To describe it simply, if my mind worked as a straight pole when i'm stoned that pole is kinked to the right.

I really want to hear what its like to be high, psychologically, for other people.
Please post post post away!

Love and Peace

I use pot for two reasons. one it mellows me tha fuck out and kills my anxiety and puts me to sleep at night. except when my tolerance is low, which isnt often. If i maintain a constant buzz its a calming effect. no paranoia or nething like that.

If i have a task to accomplish, i ussually get myself prepared, then smoke a rager bowl and start working. I work way more precisely, slowly and think about every step. I am very productive at this point and I lovvvveee that

Heya,,time for my two bits....like what you are saying though.

After Ive smoked, feeling I have are very different,, and so are my reasons for the smoke..
Firstly, the pain and depression. Pain from a bad shoulder(discharge from the RM, uk), and helps with my axinity and 'depressive' thoughts(dosnt help my spelling though...) Im not a card holder or that, we dont have them here in uk...

But also as a wine man enjoys a glass of wine an eve ,,so I enjoy a smoke or two(normally alot more..), (being stoned, I also seem to use brackets far to much while typing.)
but yeah, after a smoke I feel relaxed, a small weight has lifted. weather work,social or economic reasons for pressure(stress) it is lifted. I find I smile alot more,my humour becomes hieghted...after time energy gose, but my enjoyment dosnt. Its quite hard to put in exact words...
feeling of joy,excitment, etc are hieghtend.. but so are feeling of sadness and pain if enflicked upon ones self.(this tend to be avioded)
I genrally become quiter and do think alot more but am also more inclined to have more meaning and thought in what I say. I like to play with the bunny to, she's funny when high.....
I love to cook while stoned, when you got a munch on its so rewarding to make a nice meal or rumage for some MUNCH!!!
(I have smoked for a good 6-7 years and love it. I have hasd small episodes,,but these are rare, and not big things.. just small depressions, and abit of paranoia, but because I know thats just me I think I will be ok. I think???haha) swings and roundabouts.
anyway/// I could ramble and ramble,, I do recomend every try it once.. at least ,,it dose change your perspective on life, better for some , worse for others. also peoples 'highs' along with strains give differnt highs. I like my satvia's personally,,but a good indica cross gose down nicely.

Take it easy .....

Thanks guys, this is really what i was looking for.

I'm going to start studying things while high, set goals, draw, meditate to try and achieve a better being. I feel paranoia isn't so much set on by the weed but more so by not being comfortable with myself. Btw, i still live with my parents, i don't think they mind too much but probably wouldn't like me doing it in my room...

I'm going to get high soon and get back to you guys, thanks for the input.

Bunnyface - i agree cooking is so much fun while high, its really stimulating on the brain
And MikeLucid - studying is something i'm gonna try next.

The thing i'm really curious about now is, social interaction while high- tell me more about that?

Peace J

thats 3 reasons my friend

I'm pretty baked, and that made me smile ^

I've smoked weed to curb my anxiety since I was 16. It actually does the complete opposite for me than it does you, CaveChest. I immediately feel socially accepted and that I could have a conversation with anyone. No anxiety, which means im no longer self conscious or debating every word that comes out of my mouth. It helps me sleep, of course, but the anxiety is the biggest thing for me. Im diagnosed with panic disorder and I can lose my SHIT if i've been sober for a while, the THC just does the trick!

I enjoy the decrease of anxiety and chronic pain and yes...I feel retarded quite a bit !!!

I'm really torn right now. There are times that I enjoy being high and I 'm really glad when I remember those happy high times but also there are times when I just don't like being high anymore. You know, there comes a point in your life when you say, "I'll never smoke pot again" and then you take a tolerance break for let's say, a month then you continue with the same process over and over again.

I look at everything differently. I have ideas and thoughts in my head running through. Mostly philosophical arguments and such. I am antsy and usually, if I cannot go out or do something else, I compulsively clean my dorm, or clean my pieces...or even make homemade ones. There are times when I'm just stupid and giggle a lot, I don't like that AS MUCH....I still enjoy it though. My perception is slowed down, time feels longer and objects transform into bigger things, like chairs feel like the size of cliffs looking down on them...(not hallucinate cliffs just have that perception that they are huge! I have a 50" Plasma in my dorm and I just feel I am in a theater constantly when I am high and watching a movie or television. Being stoned is so hard to describe to a new user....mainly because everyone experiences different things. Being outside feels great, especially when the weather is acting up, whether it be snow, rain or just really windy. I have also noticed that while high you can focus on single things....bubbles in your mouth, individual sounds in a song, the ticking noise of a fridge in the background. You suddenly become aware that you can feel the pressure of your hat on your head, something your brain would normally disregard as useless noise....but is it? I try to think about why we are here, how can I make my life better each day. Seems like I have great ideas and instantly forget them all the time. Random tangent ideas become common, from cars to god in a few seconds....or was it a few seconds...one is never quite sure. And well I don't even have to emphasis how good food tastes and how much of it you crave. Eating my pizza upside down so the cheese comes in contact with my tongue... soups are fun all the sudden. This is though, my experiences though. And I feel there are as many of these as there are minds.

Ohh yeah almost forgot (seems to happen a lot when baked) --- Music sounds 10x better too.

hey,,
I dont know if this will be anymore help, but on the social interaction side of being high, in my view,,,,
After Ive chilled an caught up with everyone(going off an average amount of freinds in one place and who, how well know etc all affect this so bear with me)
smokes have been smoke and everyone is 'coming up' to steal a frase, people seem to relax in genral, and then a sort of smoker bond developes. say a cup of tea is desired by one, they will say I want tea, who's in? everyone will say yes( on average) and then some one will offer to help make the cups of tea, so those two disappear on a mini adventure while the rest are left, these two may start to luag and will the have a fun time while the others are having a fun time. when the two come back with cups of tea they get the thanks and then explain whats happend (making them laugh so loud that the others heard and are curious.) and then let them in on the joke. this is just a quick example of the Smokers bond.
talking of this bond im better freinds with my smoker buddies than my none smoker freinds. this maybe beacuse i spend more time with them and this is because we smoke together. so draw from that what you will, im quite high now so sorry for the bable.
take it easy.

yeah i have also found this but then again I do find that those feelings I get while high (and then dont want to be high) are brought on (in me anyway)by maybe feelings of guilt, or envole somthing deeper than what in view and its the smoke that makes me think more to find these deeper things.
anyhow take it easy and sorry for spelling

calms the storm. alieviates my issues caused by ADHD. relaxing and amusing. i dont just love the HIGH, i love the 'proces' of weed, breaking it up, growing..tending..watching..the different ways to imbibe, the variety, the different highs, its just ..perfect. if God made anything better, he kept it for himself! ^_^

being high is just another door that is unlocked in the mind. all the sensation you feel, are already there. weed is just a differently shaped key. IMO!

Being high to me means the total absence of boredom.

The other things it cures in the process are just bonuses.

I got back into smoking about 2 years ago after a realy bad car accident. when i was in high school i would always get perinoid. now i have smoked everyday for 2 years and like other mentioned i hardly ever get perinoid any more. i maintian a constant buzz (except when at work or driving) it helps with my PTSD and arthritus, i couldn't even think about living without it.

if u aint got a job and u aint smoking weed, then i dont know WTF u are doing with ur life-katt williams lol i started smoking when i was about 15 and it was cuz i thought it was fun and alot of my friends were curious like me so we just started smoking..then when i gotta outta high school it turned into everyday thing but i didnt smoke like alot alot just a half gram to 2 or 3grams a day maybe..now i smoke at least 2grams a day and i dont think i could even go a month without it..the only thing i dont like about weed is i get lazy when i smoke during the day and dont feel like doing much but chillin out and ima pretty high strung person so sometimes that bothers me, that's y i smoke mainly sativas during the day (or at least try to)

what is high...what is learning...what is higher learning?? lol

Ya im definitely more socially retarded/akward. I cant medicate before i do social things like go to the bars. When im high i think very deeply about things as well. I love writing papers high and reading my textbooks. You really get a whole new understanding of things. Things take on a new and deeper meaning and connect with a deeper understanding of life in general.

Haha that's how I usually feel and when I smoke pot it makes me feel the opposite and I'm not really bothered by what people think. It kinda numbs my mind.

Stay Stoned xD

I feel alot more open minded when im high. im just ready to try new things, i think things through from different perspectives, make the best out of bad situations and most importantly i am able to have a good time.

"it wasn't the thing to do because it was the thing to do, ya know. It was the thing to do because it got you high" - old guy from half baked

Stay high my friends
