Man I've done so much stuff that made me do a "Oh yeah" or "Why didnt I think of that before" when I was high. And I was just wondering, does anyone think that they can think better or seem to be a bit smarter when their high?

Haha no. Sure sometimes ill realize something when I am high and be like OH DUH..but for the most part, when I am high...I sound like an idiot. I suck at making sense out of anything..and I get really confused really easily..and I get all distracted by stupid shit. Like for instance sometimes when I am stoned and driving to a certain destination..ill just keep driving and totally forget about my destination...and realize like 5 minutes later that I missed the turn and where the hell am I going...
LOL omfg I cried out laughing at the last part. Well that'd be easy to do though, my mom's done it and the east of driving when high or even in a car it makes you think your floating or somethin or you dont even notice the car, just the motion. I'd see how it'd be easy to forget where you were going while enjoying the ride lol.Quote:

being high allows my mind to slow down and think alot smoother. When I play the drums high everything clicks more smoother and easier. I remember when I would play half-life 2 on my old comp awhile back and would be stuck at this one part. So one day I got high, layed down, and thought of a strategy out of know where that worked.
Omfg I think you discovered something, genious! :dance:Quote:

usually the ONLY thing I do when im high is think.. I usually forget most of the things I think about so if I dont really put my mind to them it wanders to something else and I forget about it
When I started using it, it probably made me feel stupid and goofy, but with prolonged use it now does expand my mind and is still extremely relaxing.
There was a thread about this not too long ago, but I don't know where.
From what I've experienced, weed only cracks open those 'doors' in our minds, if that. You need something stronger to really open them. THC is a godsend, yes, but it's power is NOTHING for our minds like a dose of LSD.
And beating a video game while high to prove your point that weed opens doors?? Come on. ~
I'm so much better at video games when I'm high. Like on Fight Night Round 3 I can see punches coming and block when fucking lit. I can't block worth a fuck sober, but a few good rips from a bong and its lights out bitches.Quote:

Well, I think it all depends on the circumstances and on your mood. Weed does make you think of stuff that you wouldn't normally think, and with rationality and articulation. Weed has a great intellectual potential, the trick to it is to know how to use it.
it wouldnt prove his point, but its an example non-the less. I really couldnt grasp getting past the part which involed a decent amount of strategy. Smoked, and my mind just put the puzzle together, It was an experience to have my mind to be able to play out the whole scenario and see that it would actually work.Quote:

Smoked some dank, executed it smoothly, almost too smoothly:thumbsup:
personally though sober is the way to be for exucting everyday life scenarios, but to sit down and think while high is a whole other ball game.
nah, but i do get more accomplished if i do housework when i'm stoned then if i'm sober, and work more effectively, play games more effectivly etc. etc.
also i have this weird problem where i go through periods (even weeks or over a month long) where food disgusts me and i just can't force myself to eat anything (but also i won't have weed at the time) but if i smoke weed durring one of these periods i can eat and eat and eat and store it away for later.... i know most just think of that as the munchies, but when you actually have some weird psychological eating disorder, it's one more thing it helps me with.
Honestly, I've found good insight before while under the spell of cannabis.
There have been numerous times where I've been working on something all day and get stuck somewhere, then blaze up and solve the problem. To me, it just helps you think outside of the box. I've written stoned papers for college before and would do better on them than if I was sober. I once got a compliment from a professor saying that this one paper (that I wrote completely stoned) was extremely good; when compared to my other papers from the class, it scored significantly higher than most of my other papers. Looks like the feds are wrong again about marijuana's apparent effects on learning capabilities.
Ya I love the arts on the green
i dont know about all of you people but the higher i get the more retarded i get. for example im terrible at following directions, in photography class there are so many steps to developing and enlarging and all that shit and i fucked up and exposed my photo paper under the light and everything came out jet black when i developed.
and when i try and say whats on my mind i might as well be speaking some other language. i cant make sense of what im thinking about. one time i was trippin on shrooms and i seriously thought i was speaking jibberish, i would think, ok just ask my tripping buddy if im making any sense, itll be easy just say the words. then they would come out and i wouldnt even understand myself, so i just sat there watching resevoir dogs really quiet
I had the "retarded" effect, too, sadly. Accomplishing intellectual tasks like writing a comprehensible sentence or doing simple math or even organizing bills was next to impossible when I was baked, or even just buzzed. But I did notice a sort of increased creativity at the same time. Got several great ideas for inventions, recipes and even two ideas for books while under the influence. I just couldn't have actually executed those ideas till sober again.

Some of my best papers I wrote while I was high. I even had one of my professors ask me if he could use one of my papers as an example for when he teaches the class again. I just grinned and said sure. It kind of made me giggle inside. I also had a ritual of breaking up bud for a joint on finished papers before I handed them in. Just my little way of saying fuck you to ā??the manā?ā?¦ha ha.
It does help me to think more abstractly. But I think what I gain in creativity I loose in motivation. Itā??s a fine line.
smarter philosophically maybe like i have more ideas but if someone starts bombarding me with questions ill probably answer them them faster and better when sober.
Heres how it works for me. When I get super stoned and I have to learn somthing or follow directions, like alotof it, its kinda hard. But if I gotta do somthing complicated that I know how to do it or know what im doing. Thats where my smarts come out like playin a video game or doing a new art project.
But doin somthin new even though may be really fun it can get complicated for me if I have never done it before =).
uh you dont have to be smart to beat video games i have seen more than my fair share of retards, be it mentally or socially, most often both, who are good at videos sober. it really has very little to do with intelligence
