Everything is better while high

I have believed, until recently, that most everything is better while high.

It is certainly true for my favorite activities, such as music, art, writing, eating, sex, observing nature, etc.

But here is the twist: if I smoke all the time, then I don't ever really get HIGH, and nothing is really enhanced.

This year, I took 6 months off of weed. This was my longest break since I started smoking almost a quarter century ago. After the first 2-3 months, I felt an amazing subtle energy every day in my life that was new to me, or maybe something I had left in childhood.

I learned that, taken individually, most activities seem better while high, but from this other perspective, the big picture, life was better while sober.

However, when I broke my fast, and got incredibly high on one hit of weed, I had a wonderful time!

So I think that the key is balance. If I smoke once or twice a month, whatever I do is enhanced, and to a large degree. If I smoke once or twice a day, some of what I do is somewhat enhanced, but overall my life loses something valuable.

Just my observations on how weed has affected me personally.

I still plan to use it for the rest of my life, but hope to maintain a better balance.
 
even if you only smoke once a day it can still be magical,
its really smoking all day, from morning till the end of the day that takes away from the specialness, its all about moderation,

1 or 2 hits getts me high everytime, even though iits been awhile since my last break, ( since january), a 1 month break ususally is a good tolerance reset

also joints bruise tolerance severly
 
^Exactly, I used to smoke all day-every day for about 3 and a half years, now I only take one or two hits at around 10-11 PM everyday and get EXTREMELY stoned every time. I have to be careful or the high ends up being me sitting there just thinking about how fucking intense this is holy shit.

The reason I cut down so much is because if I get stoned in the day time it pooches me out hardcore and I have no energy and just feel like shit. I'd much rather have energy and be willing to do stuff than not, lol.

Also I should add I've never taken an actual break, I haven't went a day without smoking some time during the day in like ~2 years I think.

I really should try it soon I guess...

This is so spot on. I am a habitual user of marijuana and there was a point in my life where I was smoking upwards of a half ounce of average outdoor per day. Of course this was not by myself, I almost always smoked with at least 3 friends. Unfortunately, I was always the supplier of the product due to certain circumstances and I realized how much marijuana is actually wasted due to tolerance.

Additionally, the high you achieve with a tolerance is no where near as satisfactory as if you smoke only once per day/week/etc, nor does it last nearly as long. At that point in my life I realized my first high of the day was always the most satisfactory. I have since reduced my consumption to about a gram per day. I'm not saying this is true moderation, but the experience is still much better than when I would constantly smoke just for the buzz.

Final words: I agree, tolerance sucks, marijuana high is much more enjoyable when consumed less frequently, and overall life is actually more enjoyable when you have been sober for a long time. Unfortunately, at least for me, I am at the point where if I stop smoking weed I really don't enjoy everyday activities as much as a should. Maybe this is a wake up call
 
I smoked heavily every day, all day, for 3 years. I never noticed how low my productivity level was, and how socially i was terrible in holding a conversation unless it was about weed.

I took a 2 month break and noticed that my energy level had increased alot but i was not as creative as i used to be. I could think so very clearly and remember things with ease. I was actually impressing my self with how good my brain was functioning.

So i meet this girl who had some really quality medical herbs from the local dispensary. When i smoked after not smoking for 2 months i was SOO high that being in a social situation was giving me anxiety. I was so high that i was speachless. It was amazing for euphoric meditation but as it being a social thing like it once was, was completely out of the question.

So i figured it was just because my tolerance had dipped so low that i could not handle marijuana in a social aspect. So i once again started smoking once or twice a day. Slowly i was able to function after smoking. When im alone and im just listening to music, i want that completely euphoric, brain destroying high. If im with a group of people hanging out, i want to be completely functionable with a nice stellar buzz on.

I forgot to mention that I feel the exact same way when I don't smoke for a long time. That is THE downside of not being a habitual pot smoker - the high can be almost overwhelming in social situations! It doesn't really affect me in an environment with close friends, however.

You Just have to give it some time. The longer you've been smoking the longer it may take. I used to be the same way. I smoked pretty much all day every day unless I ran out of bud. The only time I took a break that year was over winter break from school just because I spent half of that time at my parent's house. I felt the same way initially where everything just kind of sucked without me being stoned and was no where near as entertaining. It did wear off though after about a week. I had only been smoking for about 6 months though but I smoked a lot during that time and it was pretty much always headies/kb/exotics

You only just realised this? ;)

j/k

Here's my perspective on occasional/moderate and semi-regular use (the idea of using constantly doesn't enter my mind) - if I don't smoke regularly enough I find the experience to be too out of the ordinary and too much of a mindfuck to enjoy. So for me, the more frequently I can force myself to smoke the more I enjoy it.

I had to slowly ease myself into becoming comfortable with smoking since at first it was such a terrifying experience that I would at times fear for my life/sanity.
 
nice perspective..... and its so true

but its very hard to find that balance.....im not at the point where i could just smoke once or twice a month....
 
Even if I smoke frequently, I still get just as high as I want to.

I think the phenomenon where constant use renders the euphoria/experience to be rather diminished is more common with drugs like meth, cocaine, heroin, etc.

I can also really appreciate only smoking once or twice a day, to maximize the experience, but I still feel like if I smoke constantly throughout the day, I still get as high as I want to, just my 2 cents.
 
If I didn't play guitar, I would smoke far less marijuana. :D

Otherwise, I think balance and the occasional break is the best way to go as well.
 
These posts usually are frowned upon as they are generally blog-worthy, however it seems to have sparked some topical conversation, so it will be left open until it derails or momentum slows. Generally though, we look for topics that pose questions to the board :)
 
for me personally, i enjoy being clean a lot more than being high all the time and waking up feeling like shit. in the moment i guess i didn't mind, but now i realize i personally feel a lot better sober.

That's always been one of my favorite parts about smoking. When I get really stoned late at night, I always wake up feeling super relaxed and just all around great in the morning and a wake and bake capitalizes on that feeling providing me my best high for the day. Different strokes for different folks though I guess.
 
ya mornings are a breeze.....

and ill probably just start smoking anyways
