Have You Noticed......

Has anyone noticed that when you get stoned, people who don't even know you are stoned do things that are incredibly annoying, dangerous or make you think they know you are stoned????
Today, for instance, I came home after my first toke in months and my mother called me into the kitchen and asked if I would driver her to the mall..... I can't drive well stoned so I tried to get out of it- didn't work.
When we finally got to the mall, there was a woman there who tried making conversation with me and asking me where my parents worked and where I was going to college. At that particular moment, I couldn't even remember my parents' names.
Has anyone else experienced this or am I the only one??

 

Yeah. The other day, my friend's dad suggested we should go box hunting(they're moving, and he can't go because he has a bad back). Dumperster diving in a bright tye-dye with an 1/8 of marijuana in my pocket does'nt seem like a very good at 10 o'clock at night, if you ask me.

 

I would have just been like "I have to go" thats so much easier. Usually people can tell im stoned just because my eyes droop down and I look like a zombie. I become disinterested in everyday "teenage life". Just kind of do my own thing. I like being in large crowds when high, which is odd because I hate to when im not high, I think its just fun to notice how much more stupid people are. Its like walking around a mental hospital because everyone seems so damned retarded.

 

^^Yeah, that's how I feel when I go to school. Everyone is running around screaming and yelling and going fucking crazy, and I just sit wondering how the hell I got there.

 

yeah, i know what thats like, once, i was stoned at a fair, and i thought everyone was high, because they were so retarded, they asked stupid things and said stupid stuff.. pissed me off. but yeah, im done being high in public, 's been over a month for me! (smokin pot at all)

 

Let me tell you, fairs are probably one of the best places in the world to get high. I go to all the local ones, smoke on a little island then walk to the fair. Let me tell you its fucking great. Its an arts and crafts fair with a lot of food. No I dont mean putting sand in bottles arts and crafts I mean painting, glass blowing, that kind of stuff. REAL art. They had an indian band there last time. Let me tell you, they were so fucking good, it was honestly probably the best music ive ever heard stoned. Then just walking around with all that great food, its such an amazing time. Then of course on top of that you get to watch a bunch of half retarded people walk around and you can mock them behind their backs.

 

yeah being toasted where theres alot of ppl is fun as hell, and going to movies tore up is great too also if youre on DXM and at the movies, or big H,

fun as hell,

but evne better with Big H because you dont look fucked up on H in the eyes, and youre screwed up longer with H but hard to not nod out and be sleepy,

when i been smoking i try to avoid ppl who i cant let know i smoke, having ot go drive soemwhere is no fun when are tore up, especially if you have to drive someoen that you dont want knowing that you smoke

it sux, yep

good luck

 

Yeah, if you're a busy person and you smoke, invariably someone is going to try to get you to do something while you're high, but if you don't get out much, and have no real connections, someone will still seek you out for one reason or another. It's strange.

You can't hang out with 'normal' people if you're high and you're also intelligent. Why? Because when you're sober and have been since you were born, you begin to tune-out or simply not even think about the stupid things people say and do. If you're on pot, you see these things clearly. It's a very multi-linear perception if you allow it to be. High school was the worst because when you're high you begin to see clearly all the games people play. You analyze thier social techniques and begin to realize that a lot of people do stupid shit in high school. High school kids will brag out something they did,... then wait a few seconds to see if anyone will bite, then remention it. And it's always the most asinine shit like bragging about a fight they took part in, or someone thier friends beat up. It's pretty lame.

This is why any self-respecting pothead surrounds him or herself with people who are on thier same intellectual or higher level. You just can't stand the idiocy anymore because you've been so over zealous that you have analyzed normal human behavior to the farthest possible extent. It's a bad thing because it makes life that much harder, but a good thing because it forces you to surround yourself with intelligent human-beings.

High school is over for me. It's such a glorious time. lol Adults really aren't as stupid as you'd think. They're much more mature, accepting, and generally much better cultured than you'd ever find in high school children, for obvious reasons. Although, I've worked with some pretty immature, moronic adults. It's unfathomable that these neanderthals have reproduced. It's like we're working backward as a species, for Christ's sake. The "value" voters in the election are prime fodder for this critique. Darwin would be truely proud!

 

This is the most true post I have ever read here. Ahh becoming a pothead, I wish I could feel that feeling all over again. Finally realizing some things. Unfortunate to me, the majority of pot heads around here are in it to get fucked up instead of to realize things. Pot will make a smart person smarter and a stupid person much more stupid.

 

Yep! Like I said, it's a multi-linear conception, if you allow it to be. Also, if you have terrible reasoning skills, enlightenment isn't going to work for you. Just get out a D.V.D. and sit on your ass, you're not going to learn today or any other day. lol Pot's still good for idiots, just in a different way. And, they can befriend anyone. Ignorance truely is bliss.

 

I thought it was obvious to everyone how stupid high school kids can be. You don't need pot to see that. The way everything is a drama...you know, it's sort of like an exaggeration of adult behavior, if you think about it, and it's really irritating. Like comedy that's just a little too slapstick. It stops being funny and just becomes annoying. I hate slapstick anyways tho...

 

Well, parts of it are obvious when you're sober, but not to such a degree. It's really all people, not just the high school kids. When you're high, you notice every part of human behavior, as well as having an astute ability to guess thier motives for doing so as well as knowing exactly what they expected to get out of what they did. It's easier to notice that whole circuit 3 territorial mode of thinking and circuit 4 emotional mode of thinking. Atleast it always was for me. It's like how easily you notice every nuance of comedy when you're high, or every nuance of a story or movie, except it's an analytical observation of human behavior.

You just can't be a 'normal' person anymore when you've smoked, if you think the way I do, anyway. Most people just succumb to such typical human psychosomatic behavior. They can't simply step back and allow people to have opinions, or they can't allow someone to say something without trying to top them, or they can't say something nice to someone without equally trying to destroy another person's built up strengths, or can't mind thier business when it's necessary or when they don't have any real knowledge of the situation or they'll do all 4 things as well as I'm sure other human behavior I've not mentioned here. Normal people can be such a joke to you sometimes. Can't help it though, I suppose. I'm sure it's simply just second-nature to them, they probably don't mean to be hurtful one another.

 

musicman, you are my new hero

 

wow. what i've been trying to say for so long!!! You guys have said it so clearly.
Pot can
1- simply fuck you up
or
2- if you'll let it, cause enlightened moments to come your way

Side note, I feel it has made me "smarter" with the exception that *sometimes* my short term memory is frazzled... but I laugh about it because the benefits so outweigh the cost of not remembering whether someone ordered jack and coke or a long island iced tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I can always just ask them again!)

There were lots of posts a while back, I haven't seen any recently about pot and spiritual enlightenment. I can't really explain what happened/happens with me, but I think it boils down to whether you Want to become wiser or if you simply want to become stoned (which is OK too in my book). My perception is so much keener on so many levels...

 

Finally someone who thinks basicly exactly like me. I love walking around crowded places stoned, thinking, what are these people thinking? What is going on in their minds at this exact second. How can one be so idiotic to participate in the mass sess pool.

I think Jim Morrison was the man who really was one of the first in modern day society to "wake up" as he called it. Once you get to this point where you have "woken up" and can evaluate everything around you, let it be emotions, thoughts, actions. You feel a step above but a step behind everyone. You feel great in your own mind but you feel like an outkast at the same time. Almost missing that feeling of knowing nothing and completely just mainstream life. Being aware of nothing and really not knowing anything else is out there. Im only 14, I really cant honestly say ive completely woken up. I know that coming through that mainstream, just go with the flow stage, to what I am now, was incredibly hard and emotionally difficult. I dont know if its that hard for everyone, maybe its because I came through at such a young age. It was like going from a kid to an emotionally depressed wreck.

Its come to the point that almost nothing matters anymore because truly, does anything? School has become sidelined, it has almost no purpose, to oppress me maybe. Im not really looking to go somewhere everyday to be oppressed. Family is a bother, theyre all psychotic. Its like a massive family of OCD where ive become so aware with what they do I can basicly have a conversation with them in the room but Im doing all the talking. I can say somthing, and then repeat what theyre about to say before they say it. Im trying to become emancipated as soon as I hit 15. 2 more months. Anyone want a roomate?

Kind of went off there. This should just become the "Thoughts and emotions on the general mass's thread"

 

this post made soooooooooooo much sence to me its scarey.

 

It's kind of cool how about the last 5 posts on this thread are things I feel I could have written myself. Especially singflowercat's thing about either getting wise or getting fucked up. I'm a big fan of getting wise, that's how I use marijuana. I've also noticed that you don't have to be high to notice this immaturity of the masses, after a while it gets so that you can see it clearly at any time. It makes living in this society very frustrating.

And I agree, mabus, I feel like an outsider sometimes, because I don't think on the same level as most of the people I associate with, even my close friends. But that was apparent even before I started using weed; high school was a hard time for me because of that...it was a hard trasition from trying to somehow fit in, to being who I am. Weed, though, gave me deeper insight into why and how exactly I differed, and it played a role in my realization that I don't want to be like everyone else anyways.

 

Jim Morrison was a peyote fiend, though, which amplifies even further this problem with the "common" man. I've done it, and it's true what Timothy Leary says about bringing you to the 6th circuit of mental thought. I'm not even so sure that it was a good experience for me. It just makes it harder to deal with human beings when you come down. It's very difficult to not become jaded with life after being in a prolonged psychedelic state.

Any person with half a brain can realize that most people are pretty moronic, asinine and shallow, but pot can really make all the motives come to the forefront, it's easy to recognize someone's perogative, you know, their agenda. A very intelligent, very astute person can see this every moment from case to case without the help of certain circuit drugs, but they do make it certainly much more clear, sort of like reverting back to being a child and having noises become louder, simply because you've not yet learned to tune them out. In a state of multi-linear conception, which can be induced by Marijuana if you allow it to be, you do go back to thinking very much like things are new again. Makes it pretty hard to walk around.

You can still love people and be annoyed by them. I simply can't hang out with idiots anymore. It just hurts my brain to listen to them talk. Good thing I've got my few intelligent friends in life, the guys who've tripped more acid than I've ever seen. lol Psychedelics will do that to you. They force you to face your demons, and they force you to question, and it's hard to stop questioning the malleable truths, and the perceived reality once you've tripped acid, or done any drug past the typical forth mental circuit of human thought. As long as you don't let it jade you, you'll do all right. It's easy to question human relationships and their worth when you're questioning everything else, but that's one of those pandora's boxes in life that is just better left unopened. You could go insane that way.

 

I think that all "crazy" or bad behavior is magnified normal behavior. All the crazy shit you do in highschool is magnified behaviors that without magnification would seem normal. Take the prostitute for example: Have you ever gone out with someone, let them buy you dinner and ride in their car?? That's basically prostitution if you think about it. I dunno where I was going with that, but yeah.

 

Yeah, it's like I said, it's exaggerated behavior. Adolescents are ideal examples. They're learning about love and sex, and other adult behavior, while trying to find their place amongst their peers. Everything is exaggerated. Kind of like human society as a whole these days. That's kind of how I view society. We're in that agressive, loud, competetive area between the innocence of childhood and the maturity of adulthood.
