feeling stoned when sober?

[girlygrrl]

Has anyone else ever been completely sober yet felt like they were stoned?

It's been happening to me here and there, I don't mind really but I'm not sure what to make of it.

Not talking about HPPD or afterglow either, I have had those before and this is kind of different. More like a "flashback" but it lasts for hours and feels like I took a threshold or low-level dose.

Perhaps sometimes taking something can get "stuck" somehow and metabolize really slowly like a couple days later? It's the only explaination I can really come up with for this odd phenomenon.

Have had it happen to me with mephedrone, 2ce, and mdma all on separate occasions...

its just your body reacting to substances. everyone reacts differently to substances, so long as your not fully impaired and running around in your underwear without being consciously aware of it, your fine 8)

a lot of people feel an afterglow/afterhigh/flashback sort of thing and freak out. its no big deal. I used to freak out about EVERYTHING, this one time i took a pill of 5-htp and thought i got high. i shit you not i felt fully euphoric, it was all placebo brought on by my panic.

Thanks a lot for your post 5-htp makes me high too. It is not a placebo effect. It is a true anti-depressant in the pure sense, none of this SSRI and MAOI BS. You take it and it replenishes your serotonin instead of mucking with the serotonin pump/release mechanism.

I'm thinking it is a positive thing overall. I'm just going with the flow and not fighting it.

yeah definately, look at the bright side of things,

Has happened to me very briefly. I've noticed that I tend to feel noticeably stoned while I'm packing a bowl in my pipe before I've even smoked anything, just by virtue of the cognitive association that developed over packing countless bowls over the years.

It doesn't bother me, I just wasn't expecting it so I was caught a bit off guard.

ive heard a doctor say that since THC is stored in fat, people who smoke a lot of weed can get high if they do a lot of cardio and burn off fat. He said its possible to stop smoking for a few weeks without exercise and pass a piss test, then hit the treadmill hard and fail the test afterwards.

He worked with rehab people and said it was pretty common that during the treatment he would have people exercising and they would comment on how they felt kind of stoned.

Haha, exactly the same with me! Even 1 hour before i put the new weed on the desk i feel stoned.

But since i smoke JWH i never really feel sober. Kind of smoothness and slight holographic effects in my visuals right now...last time smoked 3 days ago.

Well I have been exercising more, but I haven't smoked pot in a few years so I doubt it was that. Could just be that my neuro pathways are changing a bit and I'm able to get into certain states of mind easier?

try running or other cardio after quitting smoking weed; it burns weed metabolites stored in fat. such a runner's High!!

Why no blazey-blaze?

 

[girlygrrl]

Just got tired of it. Maybe I'll get some for bombing sometime. Not a huge fan of the smell.

I think its more that once you take something, and explore a new state of mind/being, that state then becomes at least known to you and sometimes is accessible without the drug pushing you there. So sometimes you can sort of put one foot in and one foot out without really knowing it - probably best to just recognize it and move along, and not dwell in that place if you don't like it.
