Anyone notice that when you're really stoned you tend to have a different opinion of things than you do while sober? For example, some movies I usually love sober I don't enjoy much at all while high, and the same with certain music, sometimes I'll even listen to music I normally don't like.

yes exactly. or like you'll become more in sync with people around you, and u see things from their viewpoint, and everything becomes really weird. u can kind of like dip into their mind sometimes and u can tell what they're thinking.
i don't even notice it anymore, it used to really feel like i had psychic abilities at first when i would get real high (granted i also thought everyone around me who smoked picked up the same abilities).
but since ive gotten high like 2000 times i pretty am set in this doubly introspective open minded frame of thinking so the only thing getting real high does for me is get me laughin and anxiety free.
but i know where you're coming from, like a couple of months after i started smoking i realised how everything had deeper and numerous meanings.
i also realised that not everybody picks up on being able to read between the lines, or look at critical situations in a different light. some people just get "fucked up" on weed

weed has completely changed my perspective on a lot of things in life. I have become lazier in some ways, but also have a greater understanding of what I want out of life.
For example, I don't get as hung up as I used to on the small picture, day to day issues and stresses. Weed has taught me to unwind and focus on the big picture and how I can better myself in the long term.

I notice this usually after a week or so of not smoking, but I do get it for sure. Sometimes when I have really low tolerance then I get really high it's like all of a sudden I'm like thinking "Ahh I feel great, I'm glad to be back 'at home' and having a proper look on things!" and its like I laugh at the troubles I had through out the day and all the drama, its like.. What the fuck was I thinking??

if i've been having a conflict with someone, and have had a lot of aggressive thoughts on my mind, getting stoned tends to make me much more empathetic to their point of view. i quickly realize that hostility is a waste of time, and that whatever i was angry about wasn't nearly as consequential as i'd thought.
the other major perspective shift that i notice is a re-evaluation of my actions throughout the day. a lot of times this leads to me over-thinking things and doubting myself ("oh wow . . i must have sounded like a jackass when i said that" or "man, i totally screwed up that test today"), but with enough experience i've learned to tell Stoned Me to shut up and trust Sober Me's judgment (Stoned Me is great at appreciation nature and music, but Sober Me is always going to be better at math).

I hear that, if I watch a movie stoned I usually don't follow the storyline at all, I get sidetracked about trivial things and end up very confused. Try watching "deja vu" after 4 bongs. Mindfuck.

I usually get this with music. I end up listening to things on my iPod that I normally wouldn't listen to sober.
The thoughts in my journal kind of shift too. Things get a little on the pessimistic side. I start to really analyze the things that have been bothering me. I get a little panicky just thinking about everything when I'm high sometimes.

i definitely notice this as well.
pot seems to give me a much better "big picture" view of peoples' personalities. it brings out this instinct to read situations by looking at the motivations behind others' and my actions.
kind of reminds me of the scene in the matrix where neo starts seeing everything in source code . . .
