hello all, i heard (and perhaps) feel that thc permantely changes the way you get "naturally high". i feel like i dont get as much pleasure from activities as i used to. i dont really enjoy the sober life as much. anybody know anything about that?
Depends. See, when I take breaks, the first bit sucks, boring and all. But once I've been sober like a week or so, things get better. I think it takes a bit of time to readjust to being truly sober, but since I smoke twice a week i never get there (I'm actually at once a week, now). Maybe it's as simple as starting to forget exactly what being high is like, or maybe it has to do with the THC metabolites finally getting cleared out from your body. Maybe it's all psychological. I'm not really sure.
I know what you mean Baker. When I used to smoke all the time, Anytime I wasn't high I wasn't enjoying the moment. A lot of times when I wasn't high I was thinking about getting high. I think it's all personal though. I know people that toke everyday that even when there not high they still dig the moment just as much. That wasn't really the case for me though. Just dig all moments man thats the key. High, Sober, Tripping its all life and its all good.
actually, for me it has been quite the contrary... i seem to enjoy things much more when sober since i started smoking...i appreciate them more... like just sitting in the park, looking at some trees, feeling the wind, hearing the sounds... i dunno, i feel i love life more ...i love what weed has done for me...... try taking a break or something, get in touch with your sober self again
After a heavy bout of toking, it usually takes me about 2 weeks to feel straight again. But I know what your saying, when I'm sober things just dont seem as intense. The colours seem a little less vivid, the sun a little less brighter, the stars not as captivaiting and beautiful, even physical things such as touch/taste/smell seem muted. When I'm baked the slightest touch makes my whole body tingle and buzz, food tastes more flavoursome, smells seem to wrap themselves around and engulf me, its like someone flicks a switch and turns all my senses up to full volume when Im baked. And the best thing is that I manage to see humour in everything, but when Im sober, instead of seeing the funny side of things, I get stressed and anxious.
its hard to say really. maybe caus im on drugs. but i personally know what OP feels. its what makes going on breaks hard. part of it is physical i believe, not just a mentally overcomable obstacle, i personally believe there are cannabis withdrawal and aftereffects, but not to go into that here. you must find more intense things in life to entertain yourself. youre used to being entertained by simple things, but when youre sober, you gotta put a lot more effort in. when you start smoking weed fairly regularly or whatever, your body adgusts. the body adgusts to everything. weed increases pleasure, when without weed, people report feeling less pleasure. its right in front of peoples eyes that there is an inherant withdrawal effect experienced, its mild, but its sorta long term. factors can include buildup of metabolites blocking the flow of neutrients in the brain. also, ive heard that smoking weed often leads to hypoglycemic conditions. i suggest to everyone here anyway to stock up on vitamins, since i started taking them, ive noticed a change. b complex, high potency, and omega 3 and 6. thats like.. in berrocca. yeh we should all take vitimins in todays world. our environments are lacking in essential requirements for optimum health, and when you take drugs you especially put a toll on the body. for example it might be related to an ice binge but my right lymph gland in my underarm has been swollen and hurting lately. fuck oath eh im gonna apply for an ultrasound. in the meanwhle, stay up with some speed. oh man i cant believe how much i just wrote, i have no idea what the topic even is anymore. IM ROTTING MY BRAIN!!! but smoking weed to maintain health.
oh yeh and another post, toker, the feeling, i have felt too, usually i think thought its a case of not reallty being totally sober in the first place lol. it does open you up to more things, but especially say, if you go to a park and get stoned, and come back another time sober and you will feel at one with the land, you know/?
i dunno about you guys but i just weird when i'm sober i think it's like psychological reaction to entertain myself isn't that horrible? lol
