When you smoke pot, how does it make you feel in some detail. I read another thread asking "why do you smoke pot?", and folks said that it make them feel good..... But I thought I'd do a survey to see how pot effects different people in different ways.....
As I mentioned in another thread, I've never been a major pot-head, and I quit smoking it completely 12 years ago. I smoked it for the first time way back in '80, when I was but 12 years old. For the next several years, I only smoked it very infrequently, and for the first 3 years, it had a very different effect on me than it did in later years. At first, it always made me totally horny, and the overall high I got from it was somewhat different for the first few years.
Then when I got my drivers license, i was able to cruise around to my friends houses, where they were now smoking lots of pot on a daily basis. They would always offer me hits, but I'd almost always turn them down. I liked the feeling of a good beer buzz at that time.
At least once or twice a week, I'd end up getting high though, because my friends would get tired of me always turning it down, and I'd give in and smoke a little.
But by then, I really didnt like the buzz I got from it unless it was grade A+, total killer skunk bud or hash which was rare. The commercial bud just kinda burnt me out. But even the good stuff would always leave me burnt out after the initial buzz was gone in an hour or so. So I didnt like getting high in the day time at all, cause it ruined my day by burning me out, making me feel tired, temporarily destroying my memory, and making me feel anti-social.
It also some times made me feel paranoid.
To me, pot wasnt a social drug. It killed my desire to socialize especially with girls. It also killed my motivation to go do anything. I didnt like working when I was high. When I was high, I just wanted to kick back and watch tv or something. So I didnt necessarily mind smoking it late at night when I didnt have anything to do anyway.
My friend Steve and I grew pot outdoors for 4 years(until I got busted in '93), and we had gotten good seeds, started it indoors every year, and planted it in the middle of the largest briar patch you've ever seen, so it never got found by anyone! Anyway, after we harvested each year, and split up our half's of the pot and dried it, I'd smoke it and it would seem to give me a much livelier buzz than all the pot I'd smoked before! I also enjoyed the high much more when it was my own pot. I think that is probably just psychosomatic though, I probably just liked it better because I grew it.
The main point for me with pot is, it didnt ever really give me that 'euphoria' that I was always in search of, and it usually left me feeling mentally 'frazzled' afterwards. later, the alcohol buzz that I thought I enjoyed became old as well, then I discovered opiates, and they seemed to be just what I was looking for! But that turned into a mess after a while, and I've been clean from all drugs for 8 years.
I notice though, that it seems almost like pot gives some people an 'opiate-like'
high, in that it actually makes them feel euphoric. My friend Steve would actually do lots of physical activities while high, like he'd get stoned before every basketball game we'd play in school on our intramural team. He'd get stoned at work every day. It didnt seem to burn him out like it did me.
