ok have i just fried to many brain cells or am onto a new theory

[vyvanazepam]

ok, so
to start this off im gonna give you a backround
well i started smoking in 2008 and ever since i have smoked heavily, all high grade,at least a gram a day.And in january of this year,i got sent away ,in which i was sober the whole time(i was there untill july 21).now for the interesting part. while at the camp i had to learn a bunch of tasks, such as bow drilling, all in which i leard sober,obviously,but about an hour ago, i tried to do one of these tasksand failed epically,but i was high(ok, remember this).before i got sent away,i would blaze before school, everyday, and so i got used to learning while high.in fact i got very good at learning while high,but at the program, in which i was sober,i did these classes again, and i did very poorly.

Now, my theory is that things you learn high are impaired when sober and things you learn sober are impaired while high.

it sounds crazy but just test it.
another example of this is this theory,right now im blazed and look how deeply i was thinking,i cant do that sober, im not nearly creative enough

also when im sober i feel like crap and am way more prone to do something bad because when im sober, i am bad , i like to do the wrong thing, even though i know its wrong,but when im stoned i think through my actions ,and i do the right thing .not to mention how much better i feel also.

now i got another question, do you think this is because i was stoned at so many events in which i couldnt do the wrong thing ,that i learned to do the right thing while high and the wrong thing while sober because i learned to do bad things to get drugs because i was sober,so i learned to be bad while sober.

Sorry to pour water on your positivity, but are sure it's not a case of being so dependant on a drug that you can only function well whilst on it?

Surely, as with most drug depenedent addictions, things will revert to being normal after a prolonged period of non-use.

It';s quite a well-known phenomenon I believe."State-dissociated Learning in Goldfish" is, I think, the classic work on the subject.

OP, if you just replace "high" with "drunk," this theory is nothing new. If you're asking me if you think you have classically reconditioned yourself to act a certain way while not high, I believe it's possible to a large extent but not enough to induce schizophrenia-eske behavior in a normal individual. I've yet to see someone offer me a blowjob for a twenty bag, but for a suboxone or roxi 30 to kill w/ds? Sure.

Swiggity-Swhaa? There is a plethora of drugs that can effect you for life after long-term addiction... Not exactly how the OP is suggesting, though, and not cannabis.

We learned in psychology that if you learned material for a test all tweaked out on coffee, then you need to take the test in a similar state in order to access the material in the most efficient way. It's just state-dependent memory basically, and the same thing applies to weed, although the boundaries can be crossed. (i.e. studying slightly high, but taking the test sober for optimum speed).

While there have been occasions where I study high, i usually try to study sober, and save studying high for my easier classes and tedious homework assignments. I haven't really tried giving studying slightly high for my intense classes, except on a few occasions. I would really like to try and experiment with it though because on the few times I have smoked a little bit and studied, it was like I could sit there for hours and keep working on the material instead of becoming bored. It's hard to judge how effective I am though compared to sober. I really would like to try studying high for one of my harder classes, as I know of a kid who does it with pretty good success. I have been afraid to try it though, as I'm almost afraid if it works out really well for me. Idk.

OP, there are actually a lot of studies done on this very topic. I've had quiet a few teachers tell me that the learning environment plays a larger roll in recollection that most people think. Things like smell, taste, and sound can trigger a memory, so like if your eating hot cheetos while studying your more likely to recall the information while taking the test if you are eating hot cheetos.

basically exactly what korn3x said, its just state-dependent memory, but with weed other factors come into play because of certain side effects from smoking weed.

i got a blowjob for a gram of hash once,
anyways, part of my thoery on what happened to you is that you took a month break from smoking the glorious pot, and when you came back you tolerance was obliterated, so you got alot more high then usual and found it hard to function.
there are varying levels of high, and my functionality alternates, i function best off 1 or 2 hits, not getting high just getting buzzed, as i have adhd, and cannabis can sometimes be used as a medication for adhd.

i think that sometimes you get used to doing an action while stoned so that is part of the learned pattern - also, i find that i can pay attention to small detail when i am stoned, akin to watching a feather floating on and on - you don't hurry on to the next thing, but get every stitch in a project right before you move on..

 

[blackskirt]

Yep, just another part of psychological dependence
