Hello I'm new to this forum and semi new to weed but I've really been experiencing new things with it and I'm not finding very many people who can relate. I really just want to give my spiel on my viewpoints and experiences because I'm curious if others can relate and I also just want to share. I started smoking good weed and on a regular (almost daily) basis for the first time this past summer but I really feel like I wasn't using it right so to speak, as in I was basically using it as an alcohol alternative to get "fucked up". My first strange experience came with getting super blazed with some very seasoned smokers then going to a house party. Upon arriving and having to meet a shit ton of people I got very anxious and went to the bathroom to have a mini panic attack. I thought I was losing my mind so I googled my problem which led me here to learn it's not uncommon to my relief. So come 6 months later I'm back and wanting to share some of my other experiences. I'm sorry if this is too long so I'll split the rest of this post into three sections so it doesn't look so unappealing. There's three different "weed personalities" (made that up) that I have so I'll split it up accordingly.

My 1st personality. This is the social aspect of my weed smoking which became severely limited after my panic attack. I can no longer go to parties while I'm high and choose to smoke with close friends in very small groups. If I go to parties I'll either get too anxious or I just feel like I can see right through people and see how awkward they are which makes me not want to talk to anyone. So when I'm smoking with 1 or 2 other friends this is my typical routine. Well usually smoke about 1 good sized bowl per 2 people then watch TV until we spark up intelligent conversation. Typically we have things we like to watch because they have a completely new aspect to them when you're high. I prefer just terrible television shows like roseanne or tyler perry's house of pain because the terrible acting just cracks my shit up and I love seeing all the old school shit in roseanne. The best way to describe my high is slightly euphoric and somewhat insightful. An example of a conversation that has come up is discussing how people raised in very non individualist cultures must see the world in a way that is incomprehensible to people like me who are all about the individual.

My 2nd personality. When I came back up to school after summer I wanted to continue to smoke which led to me smoking alone a lot. Which I now love by the way. I quickly learned that doing activities that I usually hate become quite bearable when I'm high, like laundry or cleaning. I hate doing laundry so I pretty much get high every time I do it. My routine typically consist of smoking a bowl then walking to this soda shack by my apartment to let the weed kinda do its thing before I get going. The best way to describe my high is purely euphoric. While I'm sorting out my laundry or cleaning or whatever I pretty much just live inside my head and tell myself funny stories. I just make up little 10 second scenarios like what it would look like if I saw two 5 year old kids riding great danes racing with people cheering them on and I'll just crack up all by myself. When I'm done I'll usually reward myself with some awesome food like chinese takeout or something.

My 3rd personality. This is the personality I haven't found many people to relate to. These are my philosophical/open my eyes up smoke sessions. I typically wake up Saturday morning and get it going pretty early. I can't say a definite amount of weed I smoke but the goal is just to get myself super duper high. I just let my mind do it's thing and just go along with the ride. As weird as it may seem I love to go into public when I'm this high and usually just hope I don't see anyone I know. I don't know how to describe this in a general sense so I'll just share several of the things I've experienced being this high. One thing that happens everytime pretty much is that people usually don't look much different than monkeys to me. I went to the library the other day to print some shit off and kids walking around campus looked like chimpanzees would if you gave them backpacks. I feel like people look more like biological machines who are merely just recieving input and reacting to it. Another time, which I will claim is the highest I've ever been, words had personalities. Every word I read almost seemed like a picture drawing every emotion that I associate with the word. That same time I was driving around and cars headlights looked like eyes on faces. The cars kind of had their own personality too but not to the extent words did. There's a lot of other crazy shit I've experienced but I already feel like this post is ridiculously long.

So I didn't think this post would be this long when I started so my bad haha. I just wanted to share and I'm most definitely curious if people can relate to my weirder experiences or maybe if there other people with similar smoking habits as myself.
 
You sound like my twin. Well, up until the monkeys anyways lol. I don't find myself getting that high anymore unless I'm on LSD or something.

Virtual high 5 bro. ;) We should kick it sometime.
 
most hardcore ganja tokers (as in heavy smokers) you'll find prefer smoking alone.
at least in my experience from people ive known and spoken too.
it seems you're discovering the psychedelic aspects of cannabis highs.
welcome to ganjaville, have some space cake while you're here :D

sometimes when im baked and walking around in public i get psychedelic minded, in that ill have my music in my ears,
cant hear anything else, and i'll be thinkin of all the humans around me as part of an organism,
or like cells or bacteria, moving around, consuming, evolving, etc.

a lot of the time when i smoke now its trippy minded.
this however comes from smoking herb nearly every time i take acid though.
once you try cannabis on lsd it takes ganja to a whole new level. id only recommend this though
if you are comfortable with the effects of lsd, and cannabis, and associate ganja with chilling etc.

as for the not being arsed with parties etc.
neither can i. generally theres a lot of fake cunts out there, and ive been to many house parties, clubs etc,
ive met my fair share of superficial people, boring fuckers, idiots,
heard enough bullshit convos to last a thousand lifetimes, and been in more shit drugged up situations than i can shake a stick at.
and im done. got tired of the bullshit of people a long time ago. i still go out to clubs, and party every now and then,
and i have friends, but im just not one of those people who feels the need to go out every night or so,
have 5 thousand people in their phonebook and facebook contacts, etc.
my fb list is like 21 people, all people i actually know, like, and speak to. (bar a few)
the people i do spend time with are genuine friends, who i have a lot of time for.
i would do a lot for them and this is mutual. generally me and all my friends have experienced psychedelics,
and before that we were chilled out people who didnt like the bullshit,
so maybe this has a big part in it?

either way, dont worry if you cant be fucked in certain social situations.
my pet hate is going to a bar or whatever with some friends, stoned as fuck,
and THEIR friends i dont know are there. now this would be ok if half the time it didnt play out as them
thinking im weird and quiet and weird, because im baked out my gourd sitting quietely in my own head.

now when i go out to bars n clubs i let new people (who arent used to or know im smoked out all the time)
know at the start of the night "just to explain any weirdness beforehand- im baked beyond belief".
hey presto problem solved. no funny looks for sitting quiet and acting odd.
generally when people know im baked they dont try and give me any bullshit chat either as they know i probably neither care nor am able to pay attention.

Or they know you've smoked the devil's weed and they're afraid to say anything that might incite your skunk psychosis. :D
 
Hell yeah this is so tight to me already just having a couple people relate. Both of you mention LSD which is something I'm definitely wanting to try but I'm trying to get myself there first. I'm trying to understand my thoughts a little better from just smoking before I take it to the next level. And Sega420 I feel you 100% on the whole being sick of bullshit. To me I've always saw a lot of the bullshit, like fake people and worthless conversations, but at the same time I still wanted to fit in with those people. Now I see the bullshit on a whole new level and I want no part of it. Last year I was going out 3 nights a week now I go out once a week if that and when I go out I'm really hoping to find the "real" people out there I can connect with because at the same time I love meeting new people. And also I've too given the upfront warning of "hey I'm high" which does help a lot. One of the biggest things I struggle with though is outright laughing at people. My roomate invited this girl over to our place the other day and his interactions with her were so awkward and terrible I kept laughing and had to go to my room. I'm afraid people know I'm laughing at them sometimes but they probably just think I'm a crazy ass on drugs.
 
^^ (edit- aimed at the OP) About LSD- some of the stuff you said reminds me of some of my experiences on psychedelics. It sounds like you'd dig psychedelics to me, they cause a lot of analysis of things around you and in you, silly thoughts (intermingled with very deep ones) and all kinds of super weird shit. One thing about it though is that LSD and weed are not really comparable. Smoking weed won't really prepare you for LSD except that it might help you get comfortable being in altered states. Don't sweat it though, LSD is a lot of fun for most people, and it's a very interesting and beautiful experience, it's just that it's totally different from weed. Your first post really reminded me of psychedelics though.

I can relate. I smoke a lot and weed has kinda weird social effects for me. Like, it helps me to go into social situations, but it makes me slightly more of a social retard then usual. I tend to prefer smoking alone or with a group of close friends.

I also find it kinda hard to relate to people when stoned. As far as parties go, I've never really liked parties regardless of how stoned I was. They seem fake to me and I just don't like the setting of them.

The third "personality" you listed doesn't seem too weird to me. Weed can make one very analytical in very unusual and psychedelic ways. People don't always remember that weed can have such strongly psychedelic effects. One reason for this is because once you've been smoking daily for a while those effects seem to become much weaker, even if you smoke a ton of weed.

Also, welcome to bluelight :)
 
you have nothing to apologize for. your friend should apologize to you for being so embarassing in front of a guest :D

if you want to find "realer" people, it takes a while to find the diamonds in the rough, but there are many.
just use your spidey senses to figure out whos not a fud.
 
Damien: Yeah dude I'm graduating this May with my undergrad and waiting to hear back from medical schools right now. What's your situ man?

psychomimetic: Thanks for the insight with the LSD I'll definitely keep that in mind. And yeah I don't have much experience with psychedelics besides weed but I definitely feel like I will be a fan.

Sega420: Haha yeah what's funny is my roomate knows he's an awkward guy but sometimes I'm just like damn dude you are fuckin up right now haha. Oh and I forgot to mention in my last post that I have definitely had that same experience where people and everything just feel like a machine all working together forming something much bigger.
 
ha! I've experienced every single one of those sooo many times. Everything had personality and eyes (staring at me, blinking in and out of existence) for like 6 months when I was really into pot and not going overboard with benzos. The words looking at me all the time... the objects... anxiety anxiety anxiety, paranoia paranoia paranoia. Don't go there, my bro.
