Guys, try describing what it feels like to be high to someone who's never smoked weed before.

For me the first time I tried smoking weed, I didn't feel anything at first, I thought weed was just some bullshit and then it hit me like freight train, I felt like I was in a videogame, or a VR simulation, no weird visuals or anything, just feeling and perceiving the world in a very different way. Everything around looked like a videogame or a VR simulation. The sound of people talking sounded more melodic in tone. My visual perception of the world was brighter, more vivid, more colorful, more intense, everything looked way more animated than usual. My senses were sharper and more stimulated than usual especially my visual and gustatory senses. Sounds and words sounded very distorted from afar, and I could hear frecuencies slightly lower than the ones I can hear sober (like a low buzzing frequency/sound when a car with a speaker passed by). Now for the effect in the gustatory senses, the food tasted much better than usual, the way my tastebuds perceived the food was much more intense than usual, and it felt like I had a never ending pit for a stomach, I could eat much more than usual, and still be hungry afterwards and feel like I still had an empty stomach, which is why it's so accurate when people say that weed is a gateway to the fridge, and that weed makes food taste much better. So describe the effects that weed has on you, and why you like it so much, in a way that someone who's never tried weed before can understand. I know a lot of you are gonna have pretty interesting things to say about this.
 
i got intense delay when i first smoked weed. like everything was in slow motion, and i had trails... i also saw tubes of color in the air, and there was this noise like a wah wah pedal being played outside my head (i actually have schizophrenia, but it wasn't really happening often at that particular age). i couldn't really do anything other than lay on the floor. i smoked like 20 bowls of non seeded outdoors for my first time smoking with only one other person, so i was pretty baked. the next day i feel felt really slow and off.

my first few experiences smoking were like that and i smoked even less, like only a few hits. but the bud was probably a little bit better and indoors... after about 20 times smoking, all the visuals and the delayed effects really wore off, and i'd just get a body buzz. i got more and more used to being stoned as time went on.. not even long tolerance breaks will bring me back to where i was the first few times smoking... after 20 years smoking, i still always get a pretty good body high from smoking. it's not really disorienting like it was... after using a lot of LSD, i have HPPD visuals from smoking weed. i didn't have visuals smoking for a while until i started to use psychedelics.

the longer i went smoking weed, the less i feel burnt out days after... like genreally, i won't have as bad anxiety for a couple days after smoking, and then the burnt out feeling wears off and i get anxiety again, so i pretty much just smoke all the time.
 
Only two responses so , my first time i smoked hits of that bong made of 2 bottles with water in the bottom bottle. I had mild visuals, colours were bright, music was amazing and sleep after a few hours unresistable.
 
It's like having an awesome cup of tea that tastes really good. 🫖
But you smoke it instead of drink it ..

hehee Not too bad. :cool::weedleaf:

It’s like you’re suddenly aware that you’re a creature on planet earth and that your living has no purpose.

Why does it have to have 'purpose'? Presuming you mean by that being there because of some grand cosmic master plan. I would actually hate it if I found out I was 'put here' to fulfil some specific purpose that's been determined *for* me. I believe we make our own purpose. The people we love, the things we are passionate about doing and experiencing, those are what gives us purpose and meaning in life.

As for the grander scope, to speak with Terry Pratchett, "maybe the purpose of the whole thing is to BE the whole thing". I don't think there necessarily has to be something 'more'.
 
How to describe anything without experience. I mean how would we describe the color green? Green has to be experienced not described. Same with most experiences.
 
Year ago the Rolling Stone, when it was cool, had a write in contest. Complete the sentence, "I know I'm high when..."

You got answers like, "I know I'm high when I finish a box of Count Chocula." and, "I know I'm high when my feet seem 10 feet away."

However, my favorite was. "I know I'm high when....".

That's my answer.
 
As i was doing other drugs, just now i realized that the most unique and most noticable high Is from my hash.
Would be nice if it lasts longer. It greatly helps with opioid nausea, vomiting.

Off Topic : Cyproheptadine 4mg/1tbl - basically antidote for serotonine syndrom, helps with pain, greatly helps with my ability to eat. And at the evening, possible use as hypnotic sedative due to extreme histamine antagonism, modest anticholinergic effects.
 
For me, everything feels brighter and more submersive. It's kind of like I have a cloud in my head that feels good. If I focus in on something I'm doing it can feel like I am in a bubble but really into the thing I'm doing - if I want to be doing it. Sometimes it distracts me in situations I should be focusing on something else for instance, I get introspective and crave nice things to eat which taste amazing lol. Music sounds even more phenomenal and I could appreciate bits that I hadn't before.
The first time I tried weed I didn't think I was stoned as was thinking i would feel it instantly... so then I had another few bongs and when they all kicked in when I stared at my face in the mirror for long enough I actually seen my face age and morph untill I was an older woman - looked really similar to my mum's face. There was a strobe light in my bedroom at the time and I had music on. It freaked me out for a couple of seconds but I was ok because I could see my own face again 🤣 so just enjoyed the tunes.

My imagination opens up and I feel much less miserable, sort of like the feeling when I used to get (fun) when I would play and "make pretend" as a kid. Feels free. It also eases my anxiety so I smoke a few times everyday. Sometimes I become over analytical though or overthink things which can be a bad thing. It can be good for things such as chess etc. Sometimes it makes my head more noisy with internal dialogues.... But not all the time. It makes me more aware.
 
Everything is either terrifying or hilarious or terrifyingly hilarious 🤣. That lasts for a couple hours although it feels longer due to time distortion. Then you get the bottomless hunger. Ever had chocolate covered Cheetos? Everything tastes good. Sexual stimulation is common as well. Then sleep the best dam sleep of your life .

And you can do that same routine every day for 15 years if you want. Or never again , it really doesn't matter.
 
The first few times I smoked weed I had the sensation that time had slowed waaay down and everything was really funny. I remember not being able to look at my friend or we both would break into a fit of hysteric laughter. I rarely get those first two now but they still happen occasionally. I smoke less now or try too so I can get that initial impact and save my tolerance for a Saturday and just be high all day long. It's great, initially I get a bit of anxiety with no tolerance and it's pretty exhilarating and then it settles down into a mild psychedelic head space where my thoughts just grow massive legs and start trying to walk around haha. Hey so suggestion have no tolerance and watch severance if you haven't already. Holy shit, that was the most fun I had last weekend in months.

And, I'll guess that on that Saturday night you are either alone or with close friends. The most common form of anxiety from pot is social anxiety. So, only smoke alone, with close friends, or (best) lovers.

I've found that psychedelics can temporarily bring the psychedelic effects of weed out. I took some LSD over last weekend, and my first few bowls after that felt like a mini trip. I've experienced the same with shrooms.
 
Being high for me goes one of two ways. 1. I get anxiety and have to use techniques I learned in therapy to calm anxiety then its smooth sailing. 2. I feel neutral and peaceful I actually laugh a lot instead of rarely laughing things have a higher baseline of being entertaining I become more social "sensations" feel better due to more sensitivity.
