Being happy while high not really happy?

So I had a discussion with a friend today and he said "When you're happy when you're high you're not really happy, it's just the drugs." So I compared it to caffiene, I mean, when you drink caffiene and it stimulates your brain to make you more awake, it's not like you're "not really awake, it's just the drug." Right?

 

that is dumb. i know people who get really sad when high. it just enhances your emotions and brings out a certain side of you. now, if you're ONLY happy when high, then yes, i suppose it is just the weed. deep down, we all have the ability to be content... it is not good depend solely on a drug to bring you happiness, obviously.

 

you feel like you're really awake, but you are still suffering many of the deleterious effects of being tired.

that said, emotions are much more subjective, much less measurable, and if you are behaving as though you are happy, you might come out of it more happy anyway, I think this is the line where we see drugs being a positive or negative force in someone's life.

 

I think your friend is right *sometimes*

Some times drugs break the ice and make people relax and socialise , and have funny conversations etc.Thats a good use.

Other times , people just giggle cos theyre out of it.That can be a dangerous path.

Drugs are ok , but I dont think they should be done too regularly..

 

Being high is being high.

 

Good point, I avoided bringing up the fact to him that it's bad if you're happy only when high because i thought that would start the whole "see, it's bad" convo lol

 

Yep.
And if it is the drugs, it would explain my never ending binges.
None the less, I'm happy and comfortable.

 

For some reason I feel like I have something profound to say about this statement, but I can't get all the thoughts together lol

 

it's all about state of mind, my friend. drugs can be extremely beneficial for one person and extremely destructive for another. it depends on the personality and the mentality.

 

Absolutely true:cheers2:
