Why time seems to slow down when high

i think its due to the fact that when we arent high everything is old, boring and has been seen. but when you are high none of that matters, you dont care that you have been seeing the same painting you look at for the past 15 years, you only care that the colors are amazing, and the lines so vivid. I think it is this "fresh" outlook that makes time seem slower because we are so amazed with the present (same thing said above just wording it they way i thought it to be). Ill compare it to being little... you remember when you were 5, and full of happiness, no matter where/what you were doing? remember how they days seemed soooooooooooooooooooo long? its the same thing. When your high you take in every little single moment as you do when your little.

That's a good point, it does remind you of when you are a kid. The days did seem so long back then. Now, a year goes by and you're like, what happened to the time?

Nowadays I am abstaining because I need to find some work... the only problem is, I just don't have enough drive to actually go out and get work... I think I suffer a chronic malnutrition of cannabinoids. :(

I just got a cool job as a telemarketer, no drug test. Why abstain, there are jobs out there that are a fit with a stoner lifestyle. :hippy:And, there is always powdered urine, it is a stoners friend!!!!

I smoke daily, and have never felt more at peace or upbeat in my life. I love it! I agree that it is big business pharm. that are keeping the war on drugs active and alive.

Time goes naturally slow. It only start to go fast when you are not stoned.

im just posting without reading the thread..

time goes slow while stoned because your trying to enjoy evy last moment of it, where as if ur watching tv and doing nothing time goes fast.

Here's a fun one

Time DOES slow down when you're stoned, but amazingly the world doesn't seem to notice.

As a telemarketer, don't you have to deal with anger, hostility, hatred, loathing, and bile from the poor people whose privacy you invade? Seems like that would kill your buzz and eat away at the peaceful and upbeat feeiling you have.

I love getting stoned, and being in only the present. I find that I'm more patient, and I'm not in a hurry when I smoke my herb.

A few months back a few of my friends and I stumbled upon this idea. It's so familiar and yet we've all undoubtedly been thinking it for a long time without ever fully realizing its significance.

I've been smoking for 4 years now and I can remember for at least the first year, i spent a lot of my time high and getting anxious about what i'd have to do later that day/night or whatever. of course i eventually got to the point where i only cared about "the moment". i've since found that this transfers into my sober life on a constant, daily basis and while i may still be anxious or what have you at times, overall i lead a much more laid back lifestyle than ever before. such a great realization and such a positive impact on stress and the daily grunge. such a shame this plant is illegal.

all of this of course reminds me of a certain fungi, perhaps the greatest tool out there for reaching that higher level of consciousness.

Time never stops or slows, only our perception slows.
