I agree with the last two posts. Also kep in mind: Trippin is slang. It's used when not even talking about drugs. A stoner who says he's trippin is more often than not, referring to being really high and spacing out. They're not all claiming to actually be hallucinating.
There are all different degrees of tripping. You can't possibly trip on weed like you can on anything else (Mainly hallucinogens), but my sister "trips" on weed when she smokes a ton. I just agree with Hesh:
erg this bothers me so much. everybody in my school comes in and says "i tripped this weekend." wow...they smoked pot once. that's getting high, if they even held in their hits (alot of people just take it into their mouths and exhale and pretend to be high after like 2 hits). however, pot is a mild psychedelic. if you look on wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_experience, you'll find that pot can touch on level 1 and 2 of the tripping "spectrum." meanwhile, lower doses of acid/shrooms can hover around level 2, so at times when you're very stoned you can be at the same place you'd be with like half a tab or so.
I can see where you guys are coming from if you are talking about literally tripping off of marijuana in a full extent, seems a bit unlikely lol.. but for me, it does bring back a lot of mild trippy like effects from previous psychedellic experiences.. Before I developed a tolerance, I was seeing objects morph into eachother after smoking a blunt of some fine sheeeba... crazy ass night. Some kids I know do say they have 'bad trips' whenever they smoke marijuana, only because they claim it's bringing back feelings from an actual bad trip they had from LSD... Which would make sense, not every body has a glorious time while being high, and it can bring out repressed emotions. As far as the psychedelic experience goes, there is 5 levels and marijuana can plunge you onto the first few. Give it a read. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychedelic_experience & Don't let others bother you, if their saying it to be cool or sound it for whatever reason, that's their deal not yours. More power to you for not stooping to that. Some kids aren't so swift and try to hard to have an image.
thats the main thing is that the people i know who say that just say it to sound cool...thats why i hate it
i stopped smoking for two or three years and now when i smoke, even only a few hits, i get incredibly stoned to the point that i can barely function. i mean it's like a mild shroom trip. different people react differently to weed. you shouldn't discredit anyone else's experiences.
