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.8o

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.

Describe how pot makes you feel in some detail........

Thanks
 
bud makes me feel paranoid when im out in public for some reason. Me and a friend of mine were walking to school stoned as hell and i was paranoid and walking fast. Also makes me twitch and shakey (only during day time and at friends house). But i find it best to get stoned at night by my self and watch a little tv before bed. I find it better because i dont have to worry about being so damn paranoid and when i smoke in the day, it makes me lazy for the rest of the day and want to do nothing. So i smoke at nght and wake up refreshed (also helps me sleep). But im trying to stop for a few months and i crave it really bad (iv only smoked for maybe a year and a half) and i find my self staring at the ceiling and cant sleep. I just enjoy the high by myself at night for some reason, but i act nomal by my self but twitch and shake when im around other people stoned.
 
Depends where I am. Im more relaxed when im at home stoned out of my mind. If my smoking with a friend in a random place then i get a little paranoid. If im at a party or somewhere public then my anxiety kicks in. I know its all in my head but sometimes I cant help it lol. Im one those people who gets quiet when theyre high because im more like im feeling good leave me alone type. Thats why I dont smoke often.
 
I can be a little shy at times but when i smoke it relieves whatever tensions, or emotions or wut ever the hell it is that makes me shy. I feel more mellow and comfortable with my surroundings and makes socializing alot eazier. And it makes me enjoy music better. I got alot of complaints in the old apartments for having my stereo too loud.
 
If I'm at a party and mixing with alcohol, it makes me let go of inhibitions and I can be more of myself. I get better at flirting and everything.

If I'm at home, alone, it gets more trippy. Music gives me eargasms, it's almost as if I can feel the music and not just hear it. Food tastes amazing and I can eat ridiculous amounts of it. Masturbating is incredible and the orgasms goes through my entire body. I get better at video games, writing and chatting with people. Movies and TV shows are more intense; if they are funny I laugh like crazy (yes, even when I'm alone). If they are dramatic, I emphasize with the characters a lot more (although comedy is best high).

If I'm smoking with some friends, we have great discussions and come up with a lot of funny stuff. We try to write everything down and have made comic strips based on stuff that other people enjoy as well. I use some of the lines when I write. We watch funny shows and YouTube clips and have a great time just doing that. Music is better than it usually is, but not as good as when you're alone, with headphones.

And sex...
 
crazy body buzz. introspective streams of consciousness. and an effect that could go one of two ways. and as for the post directly above me....holy freaking hell, the herb hath been known to trigger eargasms galore =D
 
Pot has many different effect on different folks

How long have you been smoking pot?

Pot used to make me incredibly horny and have super great orgasms as well, but that all changed when I was about 15, and pot no longer made me horny and orgasms were nothing special. Plus the overall high I got from pot changed dramatically as well after about 15. Up until then, I didnt smoke it all that often either. :(

Its hard to believe that pot makes some people more social and better at flirting, and decreases their inhibitions! That almost sounds like an alcohol type buzz! For me, right after I smoked pot, I wanted to keep more to myself, I became more self conscious around other people, paranoid some times, lazy,
and basically anti-social! I would tend to over analyze things people said, and I just felt kinda depressed when stoned at a social gathering, so I usually just drank and didnt get high at parties.....:\

Marijuana seems to effect one person in a completely different way than another person!
 
introverted, increased creative thoughts/deepness, music sounds better, increased desire to eat and everything tastes better, sometimes it makes me relaxed but most of the time i get anxious and paranoid, so i usually drink with it, which mongs me out
 
Uhh...hmm...now let me see...what was I about to say? Oh yeah, it helps with my, uhh, what's that word I'm searching for?
Oh yeah...my memory...it helps me dismember things. 8( 8) =D
 
when i dont abuse it:

it gives me what i feel are "genius" thoughts. whatever i am doing, i connect with every other little event in my life. i get all types of genius revelations and thought processes. i break things down and analyze them...in a very abstract way. i will forget these thoughts if i dont write them down. it's a very good tool for introspection, analyzation and contemplation, but not for acting on those ideas and theories.
it also kills my desire to socialize. i still do, out of politeness, but i prefer to be alone and people interpret this as rudeness.(understandably).

when i abuse it:
it makes me emotionally flat. more of a body high. i don't give a shit about anything. eat eat eat. laze around. i don't realize how high i am and continue to smoke more. and more. i usually end up losing weight(due to appetite loss when sober again), and sleep more.

this. and when i'm smoking too much, i'm generally just intolerable and intolerant if i'm not blazed. i already have a very difficult time with my moods, so weed sometimes makes it worse.
 
I get the same high as jam uh weezy.

When I was younger my high was different more euphorica and I would be able to socialise while stoned. I have gone through multiple opiate addictions since then, so I think that what changed it for me.

also marijuana sparks up my imagination. When I'm stoned I like reading about politics and news and while I'm reading I can imagine, the events I'm reading about, play like a movie in my head.
 
It calms me down, and makes my back pains go away. I am also able to function normally. I don't turn retarded like some ppl say they do. Only thing I have noticed is since I am calm and high most of the time when or if something alarming happens I get faint and nervous. Its just me tho. But mj has helped a lot with my back pain, I hate pain killers.
 
I have a slipped disk, so like above, pot is alot better then being on pain meds all the time. it was an anti-depressent when my pain was at its worst, releaving my mind from the constant thoughts.... but i digress, i started as a social smoker (still am mostly) and my mantra was not to get high alone. fullstop. I started at ~22 and i found weed really opened up my mind and allowed me to socialise alot easier. I always had trouble with words and getting anxious around women, weed tore down these barriers.. I dont have those issues anymore at all, accept i am at the point where i have now learnt how to deal with those things without pot. i also love music and agree with the above, makes it alot better. as they say, it makes everything more fun. sex and all that jazz, allows me to focus more, last longer etc. But work, im mentally retarded when it comes to getting practical and concentrating while smoking. Although that doesnt extend to getting creative, i break down alot of barriers with it and i have solved alot of complex problems that i couldnt solve while at work (not high).
 
For me, especially when I haven't smoked in a week, I feel the high on my skin. It feels really bubbly and fizzly, mostly in my legs and on my neck. I have a smile on my face when I'm with my friends but I do tend to get really introspective and don't like it when I contribute to a conversation because I feel like im disrupting some "flow". Ddepending on enviornment, I'll be my hilarious self or my quiet self. I get really deep thought processes and sometimes get carried away with. Sometimes I think I understand how the brain really works and I understand peoples personalities and actions.
But overall, I just like the feeling of being blazed and enjoying being in natural light because natural light feels so much better on the body than artificial lights. Trust me.
 
As with others, it depends on the situation I'm in.

If I'm out with friends at a party or even just chilling in a circle getting very baked, my paranoia kicks in pretty hard to the point where I become extremely antisocial and withdrawn. It wasn't always that way, just within the past couple months.

If I'm by myself, I tend to have a very psychedelic high. I get pretty strong closed eye visuals (fractals and other patterns) and very light open eye visuals in dark settings (colorful patterns covering my entire field of view). I also get very introspective, I feel relaxed, and can just enjoy my time to myself as the hours fly by.

One thing that crosses over regardless of set and setting, is I get an extreme body load. To the point where I almost feel like I could be rolling (minus the euphoria). Also my pupils get BLOWN; beyond the typical mild pupil dilation. It's very odd, and makes for interesting conversation to be sure.

All in all, it's pretty intense for me every time I smoke unless I only take one or two tokes. I've been smoking for a couple years now; you'd think I'd have built a tolerance or something by now O_o
 
im also with the people who are normally reserved/shy and enjoy smoking to feel more comfotable and socialize
