How You Perceive Reality (When Stoned)

For me, visually, everything seems 3x sharper... my eyes are good to begin with but grass really makes things seem crisper. My hearing is also very enhanced, and I can hear quieter or farther away sounds with much greater clarity than when sober. My thought process become highly tangential, and elaborate, which would be wonderful if it weren't for the typical "6 seconds and its gone forever" effect weed has on one short term memory. Textures, particularly outdoors, are very pronounced, especially if one is stoned enough to get light visual distortions. Sitting in a garden or museum while baked is the best! :)

Also, grass reduces some of my inhibitions while at the same time making me more self-conscious (not necessarily in bad way). I can communicate fine with people I already know when baked, but unless they are understanding of my state, my mind won't really be on the conversation. For some reason, when I'm high, I can't simply go indoors and vegetate, I feel the urge to walk or bike. For some reason sitting around inside doing nothing when I'm stoned feels very depressing.
 
i feel like, well wen i am hella high, i replay every thing in my head after it happned and then i wonder if i made it up. its weird. but other then that every thing just gets funnier.
 
I start to get really affectionet and start hugging everybody. But sometimes I get that high that makes me time travel where I'll be doing one thing then bam I'll be doing another thing without realizeing it but I'll remember doing other things leading up to that one thing.
 
The answers become visible

I once likened it to ... think of normal percieving as a cave on a tall mountain. When you aren't stoned, you can only see in one direction, out the front of the cave. When you get stoned, suddenly it's like I walk out of the cave, to the top of the mountain. Now I can see in all directions, and it feels great.

yea lol
 
LoL I must say I've had some pretty intense trips just blazing all the time in the past few years. Lately I've been thinking about what being high feels like. And I've come up with "It feels like I'm living memories" the way I feel when I am high feels like the way i remember things. lol It sounds real trippy I think only i get it.
 
I used to get "stoned" - dopey, hungry, smiley, giggly.

Now, when i smoke bud. My world flips.
My state of mind does a complete 180.
I percieve words, gestures, mannerisms, language so differently.
I percieve the outside world, reasons, so differently too.

Why I am so fucked off bud nowadays, i will never know.
Perhaps it's from the Acid?
I love it.

For some reason when I'm stoned I scrutinize my actions much much more. Sometimes before or even after I make a comment or even think of something I'll ask myself if I only did that because I was baked. This happens very often.

Same. Although I scrutinize everything about my life, go over and over things I've done (especially embarrassing things) and get into paranoid states where I think everyone doesn't like me or will know that I'm stoned. Or I make totally irrational conclusions, like if I hear a car outside I will be scared that it's the cops and they are gonna raid my house and I'll be fucked (although there's nothing really to find!)

It sucks because I used to have a great time just laughing my ass off but now even the smallest toke and I am so paranoid :( Also is disappointing because I know how well weed goes with other drugs, not just for effects but to lessen nausea, etc.

I also lose all social skills - I just cannot grasp small cues, just interpret everything as something negative directed towards me.

On the other hand I am thankful because I imagine this is how is must be every day for those with severe anxiety problems.
 
I don't smoke too often so when I do I tend to get ripped. Basically if it's strong enough weed I feel like I'm dreaming.

The one time my friend and I smoked Blueberry Cush. I remember walking into his room and sitting on the bed. He was standing up and telling me a story and the mixture of his voice, sweater and poster behind him somehow made me go into a trance. I remember wanting to tell him I either needed water, sleep or gum to snap me out of it but I couldn't. The only other thing I remember is him telling me to look at the tv. I don't remember what show it was but something snapped me out of it and I asked him what just happened. He told me that he had been trying to talk to me for 10 minutes and I'd just been sitting there staring off into space mumbling nonsense. The entire night after that I kept feeling like I was tripped out realizing that I wasn't asleep dreaming, but that I was actually there. Finally three hours later (no lie) something hit me and I really did snap out of it for good. I had been tripping out for that long. I remember playing Mario Kart and that made me zone or trance out too. It was insane.

This happens all the time now when I get high. I don't black out or anything, but I have to keep telling myself that I'm not asleep. It literally feels like my body is in my bed and that I'm asleep but my mind is dreaming. At first that would make me panic, but my friend kept pushing into my head to learn to enjoy the high that I get, so now I do enjoy it.

I also have a tendancy to feel like my hand isn't real and that it's artificially attached to my arm. My eyes get really red and my friends tell me that I squint more than anyone else they know. Food also tastes amazing (which I guess is fairly common lol). The other day we were eating strawberries and they tasted like jam - it was so yummy haha.

I also get into laughing fits and find the stupidest things funny. Can you tell I've only been smoking for a couple months? ;p

That definitely happens to me too! I haven't been able to describe a part of what my high is like until now! Thank you!
 
my mind just kind of wanders around a lot more. It's like the part of the brain that corrals thought into new directions is turned off and i forget that i'm thinking about the same thing for 10 min. That and i think way more about things i wouldn't otherwise have...dunno if that made much sense...

I like that explanation

This thread reminds me of the grand case of paranoia that hit me while I was baked at work...(I work at a coffee shop with a drive thru)

This customer drove up to the drive thru speaker and I recognized her order. I cracked a joke about her resembling a muppet to another coworker, who I suspected was high too.

When she got to the window, she asked for my supervisor and I kept hearing things like "caught him talking about me", "I've never been so insulted"...

I started freaking out inside my mind about how I was caught cracking jokes and how she was going to hate me for the rest of the time I worked there. It was just a joke that was never meant for her ears.

.......

turns out she got a flat tire driving out of the drive thru the other day and it happened to be the same day she was going to be evaluated at her job. The supervisor and her turned out to be friends. It was nothing about me at all.
 
I find when I'm thinking and doing things on weed, it's easier to overcomplicate any matter and spin elaborate reasons why it'd be better not to do the thing I'm considering or about to do. It makes me think so much and so off the beaten path that I hesitate. This really explains the common effects of paranoia, social withdrawal, poorer coordination, and procrastination.

This is not a problem when I have little to think about or decide on, and can more or less put my motor functions on autopilot and let my mind play around like an elementary school kid freed for recess. Biking on an easy, safe route, with nice scenery to look at, is a good example of a situation that lends itself well to stoned thinking. Complicated tasks that require a lot of coordination and thought, not so much. A few weeks ago, I flew to Fort Lauderdale and biked to Miami right along the Florida coast. Looking at the palm trees and Streamline Modern architecture, and imagining stories going on within them, was a blast. But when I stopped for lunch, choosing between 7 nationalities of empanadas, with 3 possible meat fillings each, was not as well suited to my headspace.
 
i definitely become more aware about other people's consciousnness, whether it be in real life or in movies. I remember one time i watched "the two towers" completely stoned, and everything was completely weird. also in the fighting scenes, it was insane to watch people die. i would be like freaking out saying stuff like "oh my gosh! he just died!" and shit like that. and then i would think what if i were that person that just got my legged chopped off, or if i had just been stabbed, what it would be like to just fall on the ground and just feel all alone watching the fight go on above you as you sit there bleeding to death with no one around you to help you. shit gets insane..

and then this one time i was watching this episode of "home improvement" and it was the episode when the oldest child (brad i think) got caught with weed. his parents found it taped underneath the bench outside in the yard! like who the fuck would put their weed there!. it would be so much safer to just hide that shit in your room. it was an insane episode to watch when your blazed cuz you think about that shit happening to you and all the depression that would come along with that situation..

Edit: and video games become crazy too. like playing Half life 2 you feel like you're actually there, and u feel almost bad when you just shoot someone with that double barrelled shotgun. GTA 4 feels crazy too when you get in insane wrecks in the game. it brings back flashbacks kind of. i was in a real bad car wreck when i was completely high, and it was a really traumatic experience, ambulance and everything, and i was really lucky to be alive after it happened.

That's why I don't recommend seeing gory horror films while extremely baked. My friend did that with Hostel II and we ended up having to walk her out. (the scene with the girl hanging from the ceiling and the lady slashing her with a scythe).
 
I sometimes get little panic attacks, since i smoked too much and threw my guts up i've been weary of weed. I don't like getting really stoned i just like getting lightly. And i only smoke it on my own at home, listening too my music. When in that situation i love it, music sounds great and i generally feel great about myself, which is rare. I occasionally feel a bit worried but it passes quickly, all in your head ;)
 
I've been smoking weed regularly since 2001 now and at this point it's just a part of my life. I mean everything I've done sober I've done high. I just feel much clearer. Maybe not as alert, but I have a very clear mind... until I get all burnt out :)
