GET HIGHER, just by spending your high somewhere else...
Okay, I've been smoking herb for close to half my life now. And there have been many many things that i've learned over the years. Everything i'm about to tell you must be assumed as speculation and hypothesis from an experienced stoner, and not taken as 100% truth, as i am only preaching from my own, and my friends experiences.
What i've discovered is this: Changes in environment, sustain your high, or allow your brain to maintain and remember it better. This is why you feel less high when you sit and watch tv for the duration of your high, then when you take a drive or a walk (where your environment is changing with each new intersection/ footstep). In other words, If you smoke in Room A, and then move to room B, You will have a more fulfilling high then if you smoked in Room A and stayed in room A for the duration of your high. The more things that your eyes absorb during your high, the more you will maintain a full, and complete awareness that you are actually high. This is not to say that staying in the same place kills your high altogether, but i've noticed, it is GREATLY diminished when i stay in the same place for my entire high.
For anyone who thinks all this is bullshit. try it out. smoke 2 bowls on your couch (or some room) and then stay there for your entire high ... Then, later.. smoke 2 bowls and take a walk down your block for your entire high and see some stuff you've never seen before making sure to never stop moving... did you get higher the second time? i can almost guarantee that you will. This is of course, an intense contrast but it will prove my point. most of the time this will be un-noticeable regardless of whether you know this rule or not. but when you treat yourself to a walk or drive during your high you'll really start to notice the difference.
Everyone let me know what you think.. Total bullshit? Or have you noticed this too?

I deffinatly see the concept you are making, and although not a proven theory I would agree with it. However, I prefer to stay in the same place, preferably in doors by myself if I want to reep the cannabis stonedness.

yeah, see what i mean, its cuz you drove, and arrived at a new place that your high came back.
and weedyboy wonder, nice icon haha. also, i get what you mean by wanting to stay in one place. im not suggesting you move all over the place every time, im simply presenting the theory, in all its unprovenness.

I agree...everytime I smoke with new people or in a new place, I get so much higher;)

It's a great technique, but I don't think you get higher - you're just noticing how you react differently to a lot of unique stimuli in a short period of time. Hell, if I just sit around by myself while I'm high I don't feel high at all, I just feel deep in thought.

Interesting speculation. I think it's that because when you're environment changes, so does your perception, and you're thinking "outside the box" (excuse the cliche) so you feel more high, as opposed to being confined in the same place.
However, a lot of people are lazy and don't think about going on walks when they're high unless they have to. ;)

I totaly agree, I do agree with the high is better when your active and environment can change alot to do with your high

Smoking two bowls is the same as smoking two bowls, regardless of environment. Why not go for a walk though, no need to sit in the same place all the time, every day.

I completely agree. All my buddys just sit and watch tv when were high, and it lasts so short doing that because I always get bored of just stairing at things. =]

No, I totally get what you're getting at here. I have one set of friends, all we've done when we smoke the last month is sit in their house, and play Guitar Hero II. I mean, I like the game and all, but it gets awfully dull.
I have another group of friends, we're always smoking on the way to and from places, meeting up with people I don't see much or have never met, and always planning something different to do. I find I enjoy my time with them much more lately than my other friends.
It's not that it necessarily makes the high stronger, per se, but it definitely helps to make the whole experience more unique, novel, and different, which in terms helps to make the high feel stronger, better. It makes me wish I could convince all my smoking friends to get out of the house sometimes :(

the theory that smoking somewhere new produces better high sensations is a true one whether the reason is that you're more impressionable when stoned and thus respond to stimuli better, or whether simply it's more fun to go do something than it is to watch tv.
Either way life is too short to not make as many good memories as possible. I'm not saying it's not awesome to veg out on the couch when high, it's just not going to produce any prominent memories than can be relished as one gets older.

my favorite thing to do when im high is to sit in a car when someone else is driving and just watch things go by

you don't get higher, like reefer rogue said, smoking two bowls is smoking two bowls. but yes, i have noticed that a change in environment can give me a completely different experience when smoking. i can totally tell the difference when i smoke by myself and when i smoke with my boyfriend.
i also notice that i have a much shittier high and don't sustain it for as long when i smoke with my friend, hmmmm let's just call him paul, who never fucking stop talking. and it's almost always about himself. and he tells these fantastical stories that you know, you just know, have never happened to him or his friends. i can see this stuff happening once or twice, but everytime we smoke together, there's a new story. so whenever he calls and wants to smoke, even if he's calling to smoke me up, i have to think long and hard about whether or not i can tolerate him for awhile. usually, the answer is no. but yeah, i find that my high is much more enjoyable when i smoke with my boyfriend or one or two other close friends of mine. i love smoking by myself, but i would always rather smoke up with my boyfriend :D
and bleh it probably seems like i've gone off on a tangent and rambled...sorry for that :o

i would call this theory bullshit, if and only if calling something bullshit was a compliment and a sign of respect................................and........ ................. im shlazored
-
GET HIGHER, just by spending your high somewhere else...
I'm not calling this theory bullshit or anything, because I've had awesome highs while on walks, rides, and even while just exploring shit around a house. However, you do have to consider the fact that if you do get up and moving too much while high, you usually won't be as high for quite as long. I'm not saying that people shouldn't get up and explore while or after blazing, but it is a bad idea to over do it, just like eating too much when you're stoned.

dude i totlay fucking agree 100%%%%%%%%%%%% iv noticed shit like this 2 and the more u go with ur high the more intense it gets and the more u will enjoy it i usualy listen to really loud music and it send me on a fucking trip...
-
GET HIGHER, just by spending your high somewhere else...
Alot of the time i sit at home and play video games and watch tv when im high, but sometimes i take a walk down to a convenient store to get some munchies and along the way i am deep in thought about different things and i have a better high. just do somthing different than u usually do and listen to some music.:thumbsup::stoned:

I agree to that is why when you smoke by yourself you just notice your high but when you go out with your friends and walk around dam you have a kick ass time everything looks so great how can I say this everything looks vivid not like a acid trip or shrooms. Everything Is so clear to look at your mind expands more. Playing sports enhances your fun when your high unless your the type that doesn't like doing anything and just sit there and think about things which is something I do sometimes when I sit and listen to music but mostly I just go out and walk around.
-
GET HIGHER, just by spending your high somewhere else...
I do agree with this but im not gonna start moving about all the time to get a better high. I enjoy sitting and chilling smoking up, but I also enjoy doing stuff. Like if im at a friends house silly stuff....seriously hitting a balloon about it one of the most intense things ive done while high. My friend last night was in my shed and we were tripping each other out with glowsticks, he for some reason burst one open. We ended up painting my whole shed with glowsticks and tripped out for ages. I didnt move from my normal chill environment but it was changed a lot....pity glowsticks dont last forever.

Wasn't this all pretty much summed up by Timothy Leary with the words "set and setting"?
-

i definetly think there is some truth behind this theory. like, when you allow yourself to just relax, you get used to being high, and forget it is there. but if you force yourself to keep moving, you dont acclimate to the feeling.

i love to do that to : D unfortunatley most of my friends can't drive because of DUIs and because they are generally getting drunk to much and i am the designated driver and never get to enjoy this. it truly is the BEST AND MOST SATISFYING HIGH EVER... i wish someone would drive me down the beatiful california coast on pacific coast highway right now... that would be great... haha. im so fuckedup right now that every message i type is HUGE LOL.

don't appologize for rambling. you were probably stoned. oh and aren't you miss smarty pants challegening that you DONT TRULY GET MORE HIGH... high my dear is simply a brain state... and like any other brain state (happiness, sadness) it can be triggered AT WILL... (through proper practice) or AGAINST YOUR WILL... (through stimuli such as changing your environment)
when you change your environment... i truly mean in every sense of the word that you ARE getting higher... dont think that when i posted this theory i wouldnt fight for it... i simply wanted critisism for my theory not people saying oh its not true. lol. it does have truth TO it... and if you think it is only partly truthful then THAT is what i would like to hear. your critisism on why

NO FUCKING FAIR... that is the LARGEST CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT POSSIBLE (3d dimentional space, and air, hard to move UNDERWATER WORLD)
thats the BIGGEST TRANSITION and being FULLY SUBMERGED is not only the most drastic environment change PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE (other then being in outter space) that it would make you SO MUCH HIGHER to smoke a joint and then go snorkling. do you notice that you get higher?

The reason why thats so great is that u get to sit and not have to move around, but move around at the same time.
