What changes when your stoned? For me: I do not feel pain. Can not think for too long. Munchies (of course) Deep thinking Super Hearing Paranoia Hyper activity Mass amounts of energy Puts me to sleep coming down Ill add more when I remember. Your Turn.
Paranoia kicks in at first, then subsides Relaxed, euphoric feelings Everything-will-be-fine mental thought So many different things all at once.. couch lock sometimes me and my girlfriend get horny uh.. I'm sure theres more, I'm just to sober to remember.
my senses change. In some ways my senses are more sensitive and in others, they're dulled. My sense of taste, for instance, kinda goes. So when I eat something, I can't really identify what it is as well as I could when I'm sober... but I know it tastes FUCKING AMAZING, you know? And my sense of smell goes and my hearing is not so good. But it's all good. It's not so bad that it's a serious problem. it's all part of the package deal of being high as a kite.
Everything is much more fun and intense. Videogames, food, jokes, even water. Sometimes this is bad. I get paranoid, thinking about death and oblivion and such, which sucks.
everything becomes extremely deep. all i see is like smoother textures and cartoon like finishes which i beleive are from the future. see things closer with more detail. still have alot of crazy revelations somtimes. like iv reduced the distance in whcih the outside comes in for me i feel less in controlll of reality on weed compared to my rather intense somwhat difficult acid experience. its weird. but weed show you things that arent real, while on lsd you discover all reall things.
I don't feel pain (aside from these damn stomach pains that I've had for months and not even pot can touch...grr) I can't follow a train of thought. Or I'll get really far on a thought and can't remember where it originated from, or what the original thought even was. Lightheadedness Sense of smell is dulled Hearing is distorted No short-term memory(duh) Lack of anxiety/increased confidence Extreme drowsiness I have bad depth perception...especially on my right side while walking. I'll misjudge corners and end up smacking my right arm/shoulder/leg/foot into walls. This happens a lot when sober, but is definately increased when I'm stoned. And there's a lot more that's either been said or that I'm too tired to think of or word correctly.
I havnt been stoned in ages. Well pleasantly stoned. The last time I smoked the herb I smoked too much because it had been over a year since I smoked, I felt like I was sinking into my bed so I quickly fell asleep and woke up fine. But in the past when it was glorious... First I would feel like I didnt weigh as much, like gravity wasn't harsh it was just there keeping me in place. Then it was like I would get this grin that would last the entire duration of the stoning. Then it would hit me really really fast, I could hear, see, touch, taste, and smell so much better. Whoever I was with I loved. I was just really really really really happy. Then I usually go into some type of deep thought, mainly about the spirit world or alternate history. I was ALWAYS in 1 of 2 places when I smoked/was stoned. Either in a car(passenger or back seat) or in nature. Nature is the best, but being in a car has its plus sides in that every single hill is like a roller coaster. (I live way out in the country where all the roads are back roads, curvey and very very hilly)
the biggest thing i notice is music! the songs seem slower and any guitar solo takes forever - which is a good thing. I can't wait to try playing my own guitar while stoned!!!
Yeah man. Music is the greatest thing about being stoned. You can hear every little detail of the music and distinguish it from every other part, which is trippy as fuck. Sometimes it gets annoying, because you notice a noise or something in the music that you never noticed before, and then it's all you can hear and it get's a-fuckin-nnoying.....still cool as fuck though.
All my senses are heightened, especially sound. My appreciation for music goes way up and when I'm listening to some of my favorite songs, I feel a force flooding these imaginary veins in my soul, tingling my spine and filling me with joy. Music temporarily fills in various cracks in our psyche and makes us feel closer to feeling whole and perfect for an instant. Also when I try to sing when high I'm aware of every note I miss. I can like visualize my voice being off, and by how much. I could probably teach myself to sing really well with marijuana, and perhaps I will. I've found it also helps with guitar playing, though I need to experiment more with that. I usually end up on wikipedia learning about the universe. When I read high, every word is raw and I can instantly understand if the words are truthful or not. It's a very intense feeling to be honest, and I really feel like I can unlock the secrets of the universe when high. I've certainly come a lot closer than when sober. if you haven't read while high, I highly recommend it. Pick up anything, fiction or nonfiction, and expand your mind through reading in a way you might not have considered before. I think the paranoia stems from my thinking everyone around me has the same heightened sense. I always think neighbors will notice me from hundreds of feet away just by looking out my window, but then again I do have nosy neighbors so I'm very careful that when I have my bowl out, something is blocking my view of their house completely. Weed has had some permanent effects on my life, such as making me want to delve even deeper into what is really going on at all times. I am much more inquisitive as a result. Overwhelming, the glimpse at the truth that weed has afforded me has been so profoundly positive and enlightening to me, that it's one of the most important things to happen to me in my lifespan. A catalyst for spiritual awakening within. I could not go back to the old, less aware, me.
i think paranoia might generally come from a form of thinking that assumes that knowlege is universal - ie that other people are processing the thoughts that we ourselves process. for example when you look at someone in the eyes, you consider the situation, that his eyes are pointing at you, and that you are there in the persons vision and are a part of the reality around you posessing all the faults and causes that you attribute to yourself. its like being afraid of the fact that people can look into your soul (your soul being the very complex perception of yourself). but in reality most people dont give you or your actions much thought and tend not to think of what youre doing wrong or right just because you know youve done it. being stoned is not how it used to be for me. but its a deeper engagement with reality, for me. i think thta sums up most of the aspects of weed. the thing is, having short term memory loss and trouble concentrating is an integral part of forced engagement (the fact that the drug is initiating it, not a natural agonist in the brain), because we get so cought up in the moment that we cannot hold on to the concepts flying past. if it is a strong thought, it can pervade simply because each moment instils it. but conceptual thoughts are harder to hold on to when they arent exihibited by the environment. being engaged in reality involves experiencing senses, and experiencing creative thought stimulated by the meaning or interpretation we percieve about our senses. there is a big difference thus if a subject of the mind is novel/unknown, or familiar/understood. familiar things have more 'hooks' for your mind to hold onto as it passes through time. this allows us to think about them in much more detailed ways than usual. but novel things leave the greatest room for the imagination to piece it into our universe. this allows us to think about the world in much more profound ways than usual. we have a balance of these two awes depending on our balance of familiary and unfamiliarity. of course the very act of going deeper into familiar concepts is finding yourself in unfamiliar cognitive territory, leading to absolutely amazing feelings of revelation or closure. but these thoughts can be harder to work with and easier to forget quickly, leaving us with the feeling that we had thought something amazing but the inability to pinpoint what it was because the present moment is so different to what is ever was, particularly the while ago that you initially started thinking about the thought. i utterly enjoy being stoned
i lay in bed thismorning after smoking, and just trippin to the music and the imagery inside the head. I can see the music in my head and i see imagery that is an 'extension of a peice of sound'. each "peice" of sound has this imagery coming out of it. amazing
