Try to describe being stoned

ive been stoned many times, and a couple pple have asked me what it's like, and i dunno i seem to always give them a really shitty anwser, so im trying to put together everybodys thoughts to try to describe it, please post how u would describe it, and we'll mush it all together :D

normally i describe it as you being just really relaxed, and your sight is slowed down, like an old video camera looking left and right. you get sort of a salty, but plesant taste in the back of your toungue. your memory is basically like the scene selection of a dvd, you can view a little clip of all of the "scenes" you have while ur stoned. and many times, when u have deja vous, it feels like that moment actually happened, and you will swear on ur life that it did. also, look quickly from left to right, and while looking in the middle, take a mental picture of what you see. then keep that picture in your head and think about it while looking at something else. that is sort of how your sight is. also you tend to be a lot more social, say shit u wouldnt normally talk about (just say "hey... i was stoned", laugh at shit thats not normally funny, and eating while stoned is perhaps better than sex :D.

well, please feel free to add more descriptions on what it feels like, or correct mine, it might be different for other people.

Being stoned is actually not a correct term for pot because you're stoned just as much as you're un-stoned after you smoke a hit. If that sounds confusing, you'll figure it out. But either way, you're still yourself. I think being stoned is just a barrier to hide behind that no one else sees. Remember, know one else sees it. You could be stoned, or just didn't sleep well. Best answer to are you stoned is "I didn't get any sleep last night."

^^son u got that paranoia workin real well for you^^

It makes your senses get into what you're doing in a enlightening or horrific way(depends).

who's the son, gramps?

There wouldn't be much point, but I can describe feeling pissed off when I read stupid fucking threads like this! :)

It's hard to explain because of state specific memory. We can only accurately remember the feeling when we're experiencing the feeling.

i always seem 2 forget wat it feels like the morning after, thats why its always exciting for me after i scoff a few buckets & rockets

I get the imagination of an 8 year old, I become satisfied with the simplest things, and I hallucinate.

Though, i rarely visually hallucinate. I smell things that don't exist, and they are so very strong and real. I'll just be eating chips, and they'll taste like apples for no reason for a short time.

warm fuzzy happy satisfied and not a care in the world [except for maybe some ice cream ]

When i am stoned, i have total freedom, freedom i am not mature enough to have when im stone cold sober.
I am quiet, because i want to be, receptive though distant, without being dismisive...I can fuck harder, longer and better...I can pspeak to anyone, i can pass through waht i dont want to be touched by.
I am calm enough to accept what i want, passionate enough to take it, and sure enough to demand it!
I am Ozymandias, the king of kings, and I alone know all the names, be with me or be nothing!


Yeah you watch out for Canadians!

Being stoned to me is just an enhancement. It allows me to gain more clarity, like watching a VHS tape and then popping in a DVD. It lets me to think further along any direction in my brain.

Can Walk somewhere, then can be like "did I just move from a 2 b"

I usually associate the high with smiles, laughing and "feeling good". If that explanation scares people, run fast they're not human :)

I think he was stoned when he wrote that

Actually, I thnk he wrote the first 2 lines sober, while smoking then got stoned and finished the rest off.

Good call, don't think i could have put that better

Beachguy In Thongs.....I think I'll just let your name speak for yourself.

That's actually a really good way of explaining it.

Dr. G's brother explained it as being like mashed potatoes on the inside without the wetness.

the simplest way i could describe it is that it's like when you wake up in the middle of the night and you don't know if you're awake or dreaming.. that's how I feel when i'm quite stoned.

Yea this is an amazing description as well. The part about being able to think further along any direction is perfect. I know im 17 but I use what knowledge I have and what imagination I have and I think about the universe in realistic but insane ways when im high, ALMOST every time. I usually think theyr huge breakthroughs when im high too.

I completely disagree, to me being stoned is like being drunk. My thoughts are much blurrier and seem to go off in every direction. Maybe I'm just on indica.

it's like ur eyes are wrapped in saran wrap.

Its like the little things that dont matter actually matter when you're high. I feel like im the shit when im high, but then again i feel nervous and scared at other times. Its always different.
