Reading When Your High

[Adult.]

Anyone else tried this?

It was this Saturday i had tried it, I had been high since Friday and my 2 friends left for home and I had nothing to do even though I was still burnt.

Then this book caught my eye, it is from a series called The Wheel of Time. I had tried to read some of it before, got kinda into it but then got distracted and never got back to it.

I opened the cover and started reading the Prologue. It fealt as though I was reading very slow but I wasn't actually. I got so into the story, I felt a part of it, it was great.

I suggest some of you try reading when your high. It's great.

yea i was up visitting my girlfriend at the time in montclair and i was walking around waitin for her to get out of class..so i smoked a blunt and went to the libary well i was trying to read some longfellow well that didnt work out cuz i couldnt remember what i just read

[Its a Plant]

I read high all the time. It's a great way to focus in and zone out to what the story's about. Lately, mine have all been Vietnam-related, so it's kind of interesting...

I don't seem to get as "goofy" as you adult. hmm.

My friend lent me the 6th Harry Potter book and i read pretty much the whole thing stoned of my ass. (not all at once)

Let me tell you that was some pretty dramatic shit, as i read the movie version played in my mind.

Books are great to read when stoned, especially the little kiddies ones that when you open the page a fuckin Eiffel Tower jumps out at you.

[StOneD.aS.FuK]

nope...cant do it.

[friendowl]

yeah man im a book worm.love to read when im high cant read sober.aztec by gary jennings is an awesome book.

[Hempamasta]

Yeah, I pretty regularly read when I'm stoned. It is a very enjoyable experience. It feels almost like you are there, watching what is happening.

I fucking love that book!!! Prob my favorite of all time.

Try watching the movie high, OMG it makes Kubrick look like a genius.

yeah, i love reaing high, though its better i think on most psychedelics as long as its not a hard trip, like doing a first-second plateau dxm trip or a small bit of acid and some pharms. i dont know my faviorite books are The Lord of the Rings and the Dune series by Frank Herbert, when you are high you can naturally kind of visualize things alot easier in your mind so you can get alot deeper into books by actually kinda living whats going on, i however dont like to be on any types of stimulants while reading except Adderall because usually i get to excited and end up doing something else, like running,exercising, or doing something weird like going out with friends and doing funny stuff. yeah i just dont like to do to much of a drug before i read or anything but its nice to chill out and read or watch tv with a nice bowl of like 50/50 tobacco and weed so it stays lit. peace

o wow man i love reading while im baked..it just makes it so much better

[WhosGotTheHerb]

I read all the time too. Mostly homework though.. but reading for pleasure while your stoned is a lot more fun.

[Captain Hanks]

Yeah, I either think about it to much and can't read, or I end up living the book. It is all mental I guesse, I've been having some reading problems lately.

[Samwhore]

when i read high, the lines move around the page and the words clump together

[BlazinTreesX3]

Somethin about reading sober aint the same.i just read to get it read dont ponder it.

At home in bed or bloodshot eyes at barnes n nobles, reading that high times sober just doesnt work for me.:jointsmile:

[Matt the Funk]

I like replacing random words witht the word cat....hehehe....

[VaporDaddy]

I love this thread. MORE!
:jointsmile:

[Abattoir Dream]

yeh.. reading when ur stoned is great...

why you think einstein was such a bookworm? lol

[tom_mate]

I can't read when Im high man, my mind just won't let me. I don't read that much but often when I'm high is when it appeals to me but cruely I can't do it when I'm high, I just sorta read the words but they don't register in my mind.

[ZeldaG.]

yeah i cant even read long posts on the forum wheni am stoned, its like your definatley reading the worfds in your mind but by the time you got the second sentence you have totally forgot the first one :P

[JustinSKS]

I imagine I could do it, never tried. I imagine it'd be like a more intense experience and you'd feel imensely engrossed in it. Living the story in your mind. God damn, as soon as my bong arrives I'm packing a fat bowl of nug and reading a book. Of course I gotta smoke that bowl first lol.

[affasd]

Ya when i was still in school i had english class right after lunch, so i was always high and anytime I tried to read something, I would just read the same line over and over not understanding anything, then i would just give up

[MotleyCrueBoy24]

Yeah I read some Hunter s. Thompson last night...

You're right, it gets you really into it.

[scott9116]

I read some last night while tore up. I remember enjoying the book but have no idea what the story was about. :stoned:

[Jack the Tripper]

I put up a story in the stories forum that everyone should read, while high or not, because I got the idea while I was really stoned. check it out

I love horror writers like James Herbert and Stephen King, although i've only just started reading Cell and woohaaa, it's crazy.

Obviously manga and comics are quality when stoned. I recommend Alan Moore (V for Vendetta or The Watchmen) and Frank Miller (Sin City, Batman:Year One and Dark Knight Returns). I also recommend anyone to read Maus by Art Spiegalman. Amazing shit :thumbsup: !

Books are great to read when stoned, especially the little kiddies ones that when you open the page a fuckin Eiffel Tower jumps out at you.

I read pretty much the whole book 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' baked off my ass, and it was very enjoyable. After I watched the movie, but the book was still better :-p Reading is great when you're high!
