I was at a party recently and some skanky muppet came up to me when i was smoking a cigarette and asked if it was a spliff and if he could have a toke on it. I said yes and fine for a laugh and pass him the cigarette and he began sayin how stoned he was feeling. I thought he might just be talkin shit, but after a few mins it was obvious that this kid actually thought that he had been smokin weed. It got me thinking how sometimes when i'm up for getting propa caned i can smoke loads and not feel it and how the times i have been the most stoned have been when i've been in the company of people who i don't know or make me nervous. How much do you think your mind determines how high you get? Is this the major influence (apart from the qaulity and quantity of the green)or do other factors (how much food, drink, sleep you've had etc) affect your high more? Any funny stories about times when you have been inexplicably more stoned than you should have been are also very welcome!
i've always wondered about this... like, if someone were to give me some non-weed substance and i smoked it, id probably still act high. i dont know, its like after i smoke, i kind of cut loose a great deal, because if i do something stupid i can blame it on the high, therefore making me seem a lot higher than i am. oh god, im actually stoned right now. and i just read this over. and it makes no sense
well i think if you feel paranoid, you feel that your alot more stoned...cause your feeling like somthing bad is gonna happen...if your tired your just gonna pass out, uhh if you need food bad your gonna sober up sooner cause youve gotta stop the munchies. ....and i dont really know...cause ive been sick lately and been gettin high and the highs have been alot more slow....but being sick this time was kinda cool cause i was light headed most of the time so it was kinda fun..haha
The mind can store feelings and acts. So the htought of weed will trigger the "high feeling" althou your not smoking weed you act like your high. This happens to me alot before I buy weed, Althou I havent smoked it the smell and the feeling of its presence gets me a bit high.
stoned, unlike many drugs, is largely just a channeling of thoughts. an artificial high will generally consist of this - content of thought, action, and response to stimuli. however a fake high will rarely include munchies, visual distortion, bloodshot eyes (unless laughing too hard), etc
My experience is that when you don't loose energy, - whether by processing food, being with people you don't want to be with, worries, ... - you get more easily high or stoned (depends on how much weed you put in a joint). When I really want to be stoned (for example, to watch a movie, I want to be veeeery lazy), I put a tiny bit of weed in a tobacco joint. If I want to be high (artifially raising your level of consciousness), I put a tiny bit of tobacco in a weed joint. I don't understand it, the less weed, the more stoned I get...
I would agree that your mind fucks with your high, and vica versa. The fact that you're stoned will affect your feelings and the decisions you make. The decisions you make could, in turn, affect your high. In some situations it just turns in to an all out chain reaction of stoned occurrances. The decision making process is altered when you're stoned, I call this "ganjanuity".
i think your settings make a big difference. i remember when i first started using dex products i would fry harder off 8 coricidin pills in my friends basement than i would off a whole bottle of zicam at school.
