This story has a lot of details to it, some may consider unnecessary. I added these to give the feeling of the environment and situation, which has an influence on the high. Skip down a few paragraphs if you want to.
I usually have mild and unremarkable experiences with pot. If I smoke a few bowls, it gets hard to think and i just feel stoned. However, with just a few hits it is easy to think and a nicer buzz. I have been smoking for 4 years, regularly. I recently got done with a 1 month break from weed that I took to reduce anxiety and side effects that I was getting. The break lowered my tolerance and didn't help any side effects.
To the story... I got back from working 7-4pm at my job. It was a clear day, no clouds, about 80F. I was feeling good, I had quite a workout today. I packed my things for my trip on my ATV (quad, 4-wheeler, its like a motorcycle with 4 wheels). I got my binoculars, FM radio, 9mm pistol in holster, a bowl packed about half way with good bright green, and an energy drink. My plan was to go to a tower that is in the middle of the woods, about 3 miles away from any houses. It is an old firetower people used to stay in to look for fires. It is 4 miles away, all through dirt trails in the forest. There are hundreds of miles of these dirt trails around here...its amazing.
It took 20 minutes to get there. I was going pretty fast, getting some thrill from the speed. I got there and parked my quad near the fence. The tower is about 150 feet high with steps going up it diagonally. There is a little deck after each diagonal section of steps that connects to the other set of steps.

Sorta like this, not as steep. I climbed the fence and over the partially broken barb wire meant to protect against intruders like me. I climbed. As i got above the treetops, it got windy. I am always slightly nervous climbing this but am mostly desensitized of the fear of height. I got to the top. There is an enclosed room at the top but there is a lock and fencing blocking the enterance. I stopped and sat on the steps, putting my feet on the little deck. It was very windy. It wasn't even windy on the ground. What a beautiful sight, the appalacian mountains, hilly in some places, flat in others.
Its gonna be hard lighting this bowl I thought. Well after many attempts I finally put my shirt over my head and lit the bowl inside my shirt, taking 5 hits total eventually. The immediate feeling of the weed was slight relaxation and a conscious altering feeling where thoughts slow some and deep thought can occur. I put on the FM radio and got my 8X25 binoculars out. Wow, I could see for miles. I looked around but civilization was far away to see in detail. I saw a walmart that is 15miles from my house that was a small speck.
I got some classic rock on the radio and my buzz started getting better and stronger. For me, weed peaks in about 15mins after smoking it. I felt that calm adrenaline flow through me, that was stimulating in a way. I didn't want to leave, this was the perfect spot to smoke. My eyes and brain were just stupified and humbled by the beauty. Great views are ok sober, I just never make a big deal of them. Now it was truely amazing. The great vibe was formed. My senses were very pleased.
I stayed for about another hour. I just couldnt leave. Normally I go up and chill for 10 minutes and thats it, no big deal coming down. My senses were attached to what they were sensing. The wind blew hard and knocked my drink off the steps to tumble 150 feet to the ground, which gave me a jolt of nervousness for a few seconds. I then came back down and got on the quad, still thinking of the amazing site i had witnessed. It stuck in my memory and the scene still is. The pot inhanced my senses.
Point of the story- I wanted to try and share the experience because it was wonderful for me. There is a point. Set and setting. I have not enjoyed weed much lately just sitting around the house. I had side effects like anxiety. Being in a great setting completely changed the mood of the high.
Warnings: I am very experienced riding my quad high and doing various activites such as climbing a tower. It does not effect my judgement or coordination anymore (with these lower doses). So, I would strongly recommend against doing anything dangerous like I did until you are well aware of how pot effects you.
