why do you get high?

i smoke because i enjoy it, it helps with my anxiety, insomnia, helps me to be less irritable, and mellows me out. i love smoking and getting baked with my boyfriend after we get home from work, it's always lots of fun.

cause not only does it help my medical condition but it lets my mind temporarily escape my problems to see things in a more enlightened view.

i think for most habitual smokers (applies most to daily use) there is too complex a psychological addiction to explain, with a single reason, why they smoke weed. the true reasons are usually not the reasons on the surface.

it took me a long time -- and maybe a few harder trips -- to realize that some of my earlier stages in potsmoke stemmed from escaping reality, a tendency toward 'obsessing' over hobbies, etc.

i won't go on because i found the true reasons i smoke/smoked the way i do/did are definitely self-revealing, and this is no livejournal.

It numbs my pain and soreness. It makes me feel nice and good inside.

I have thought about the reasons I get high quite a bit lately. I can't pin it down to one main reason so here is a list of small reasons why I love to get high.

- When I am going to sleep at night lying in my bed after a few bowls I feel so amazingly relaxed and I go to sleep feeling like everything in the world is perfect.

- When I am with my friends we drive out to the bush and go for a long blazed walk. It is great walking through the bush with my best friends talking shit and then when we get to the cliffs we stand on the end and the wind blows in our faces and it is one of the most amazing feelings I have ever had.

- It relaxes me when I play Counter-Strike (an online game) and makes the game a lot more enjoyable especially when I have loud bassy music playing. The game becomes a reflex and I play much much better than if I was trying to over concentrate.

- I just love the feeling of being so relaxed and high. I also love getting the munchies at 2am and going to burger king or mc donalds and buying a whole lot of food to go eat at a park.

because it's groovy

I get high to fly above Bullshit!

I love they way it makes me think.
Sometimes when I am high I can look at someone and picture them when they're 50 or see an old person and picture them young. Or I'll deconstruct the way one of my friends deals with a certain situation and think about everything my friend has ever experienced and how it has effected that one decision.
Im not sure if that made sense but can anyone possibly relate to having these high thoughts?

I'm usually a person that is all over the place, thinking about everything. I'm more focused. Both short term and long term. I'm pro at everything, even more so than when sober because I simply pay more attention to the immediate world around me.

I see the world as beauty, shapes and colors interconnected in ways that I would've never seen otherwise. The sunset above all description. The stars shine with ten times the luminosity.

Every single face I see is a happy one. Every second is joyous. Every day is another step towards complete contentment. Everyone is a friend.

My grades have improved. My inner confidence is the highest it's ever been in a long time, after many bouts with depression. I have a clearer focus in life. I'm no longer strung up on the little stresses in life.

Why smoke weed? To get high.

I smoke because the first time was such a joyous occasion and haven't had a bad one since. except when the bud sucked.
