High Or Sober for rest of your life?

I was just wondering say if you were toking one day and all of a sudden a glittery lil weed fairy flys in front of you and says... hey heres a once in a high time offer... would you like to feal high off weed for the rest of your life or would you like to return to the sober world in 30 mins when you come down? Its your choice.... you got 30 mins to answer b4 its to late.. So what would you choose? Me personally I may actually would like to be high the rest of my life as long as its one of those mellow head highs then yea... because it seems no matter how much I smoke all day long.. I never get tired of being high... and i can do everything high pretty much the same as sober if not better lol :thumbsup:

high

what if that fairy turned out to be a complete bitch and you got stuck with a perma-fried couchlock... Withdrawn, faded, and drooling on yourself in the corner?

I suppose you'd just get used to it eventually. When an altered state becomes the norm though, it stops having the interesting alteredness to it and just becomes business as usual. How joyless.

Sober.

"high" being a temporary altered mindstate
"sober" being a normal mindstate
now switch the words and there definitions
with "high" being a normal mindstate,
"sober" would be a temporary altered mindstate

high

how sad :( and how true... :(
i smoke, and smoke and dont become stoned... i think its time to lower the tolerance...

but still i would prefer stay high for all my life! :stoned::rasta::jointsmile::rastasmoke::D

lol lets add one more thing... lets says the fairy also gave you a box in which every time you open it ,there is a red joint which makes you higer if you smoke it and a blue joint which makes you sober for a day if you smoke it. but the blue joints will stop reapearing after you smoke 1000 blue joints... and after u smoke 1000 blue joints they both are red joints and if you smoke the wrong red joint.... u get stuck in a acid like trip forever... but the only way to get rid of the high spell placed by the fairy is to push a green button on top of mount everest... wich might be kinda hard to do lol espically stoned off ur ass lol

I'd stay stoned...

sober forever?! lol fuck that shit....

Dude... If you're stuck in an acid like trip smoking magical blue and red joints, then getting to the top of mt everest is the easiest thing in the world.

You just open the door to the closet, walk down the well lit path, hang a left at the sleeping brontosaurus and you're there! Everest. Green button.

What was so hard about that?

oh yea and u get put under a curse if you say sober and you cant get high off weed no matter how much u smoke and the only way u can get rid of the curse is by pushing a red button with a pic of the fairy on it... but where is this red button? who knows... lol

lol haha true..... the main point of the thread is to spark are imagination by the way..... actually this brings up a good idea... why dont we make a thread for only when ur high that you write a small paragraph adding on to the story. Like for example ill get high then come on here and write 4 sentences to a story then the next person gets high and posts another 4 sentences to the story adding on to the last person 4 sentences of the story.. make sence?

i gonna make the thread now.... but i dont have any bud left so i wont be able to start the story :( ( sorry to post so much ... stupid 5 mins rule lol)

i'm not smoking neither red or blue joints man.

Other then that, i wouldn't want to be high forever, but being sober forever would be worse.

I could imagine that being high could become just as dull as being sober over time...

Sober. But since this could never happen, I'll spark up a jay and be high for an hour or two.

without a question, i would choose to be sober

I'd be sober.
If one were to be high all the time, it would cease to be an altered state.

Yeap, and sober would be the altered state

if this is a serious question then i would have to say sober, everything gets boring after awhile, plus i enjoy the smoking part just as much as the way it makes me feel, somthin about packin a fat bowl in the bong and passin it around just feels right, when done with the right people.

I'd rather be straight and have the option of using various substances if, and when, I decide to get high or stoned. When I was younger, I would have chosen to be high 24/7 - and there were periods in my life when I managed to do that.

I'm curious as to when the word "sober" started referring to not being high on weed? I guess I'm behind the times. Us "slightly older" people rarely used the term for anything but not being drunk on alcohol - except maybe as in, "It was a sobering experience", and similar phrases. The word "stoned" was used as a general description for any type of inebriation, as was "high", to a lesser degree - but it usually meant marijuana. The word "straight" had many drug/alcohol uses also, and could mean not drinking, or using other drugs, as well.

I think that the word "straight" was hijacked into the realm of sexual orientation, so it's not used so much for drugs or alcohol - unless it's something that makes the intent clear, like, "Hey, I was really stoned for a while there, but I'm straight now".

I'd choose sober, even in the face of Breukelen's possible semantic consternation.

Then I'd get continue to get my highs from exercise when I wanted them.

stoned

I'd choose sober, too, but in the old-fashioned meaning of the word. Right now, I'm sober AND staight, and have been so for a while - despite the impression that I may give sometimes.

I think that the usage of sober might have become blurred in the 1980's with the rising rate of cross-addictions, twelve-step programs, and phrases like, "clean and sober". What does being "clean" have to do with drugs and alcohol, anyway? There are plenty of well-scrubbed drunks and junkies. I'd think that being sober is good enough, and one should worry about hygiene after that is accomplished. :p

sober

All the time? You know, I'm not really too sure.

I think I am already heading that way seeing as i am pretty much high all the time anyway

man why such waffle? think of sober as NOT bieng under the influence of recreational drugs, in this case cannabis since this is a cannabis forum. Did it not cross your mind that your body is cleaner without recreational drugs? hence the term "clean"

so back to topic - sober.

High til die

If that is what it means to be "clean and sober", it's redundant. The phrase "clean" also throws a negative light on using any substance, i.e. being high is "dirty", or criminal-like. I believe that this phrase was started by AA type groups when people that used substances in addition to alcohol started participating in the meetings.

I have no objection to using the word "sober" for being not-stoned on things other than alcohol, I just was wondering when it started for marijuana use. Oh yes, I don't use the term "cannabis" much either - not that there's anything wrong with it.........

I just don't like the association of marijuana, when used alone, with addictive, dangerous substances.

I think you smoke too much.

Based on this response I have chosen "sober" to the original question...

But yeah um... I'll pass on the acid trip and Mount Everest. Do you actually need to climb the mountain, or just THINk you did?

But what if you're just high on life?
Or better still, high on your horse?
Or on yourself?

nothing like a good shower after getting baked... mmmm hot water. I could stand under it for an hour.

That's fine - it wouldn't bother me if I never had marijuana again in my life. I can get high from music, other art forms, exercise, meditation, etc.

I actually think that stronger hallucinogenic experiences are often better in the long run. Pot can have some bad effects on people - as well as good ones.

I would rather be high for the rest of my life because...well I don't have to explain, it's already understood :p.

clean is probly reffering to being able to pass a drug test ;)

well if i had to choose one or the other, i'd have to say high...

cuz being sober forever would suck...

First off, I have two questions.

First question: Does the high remain on the peak forever?

Second question: Indica or Sativa?

If it stays a peak forever and its some beautiful Sativa..

well then yes. I'd stay high forever.

haha i think this is the highest thread ive ever read

sober fo sho

sober to get high when i choose in the future even if it only lasts 1-3 hours at a time

High...but my main concern would be what would the high be like?

How high would I be?

Could I adjust how high I am? I'd hate to have a mild buzz goin' on all the time, but a reallly strong high might be too much during some situations.
