Why everything is so fascinating stoned...

So I was hanging over at my buddy's place pretty stoned when i started thinkin about why it is that everything is just so fun to look at when high. I mean I know there's a whole chemical explanation to everything but tell me if you think I may be on to something here...
If you ever see little kids walking around everywhere they always seem to be wide-eyed and fascinated with even the most insignificant things that we today wouldn't even give half a glance to. This is most likely because as children we are explorers all the time, always discovering new things that we've never seen or experienced before. But over time things that used to be new and exciting become routine and we just dont get the same excitement from them. This is where I came to the conclusion that the reason I love to just wonder around like a little kid when I'm high is because being high is almost like witnessing the world all over again but from a new perspective, everything is just different enough to the point where I can always find something new that I never had noticed before, whether because i really never noticed it or just because it looks different. Either way, getting high allows us to see the world in a new way, a better way in my opinon. :stoned:

exactly.:jointsmile:

i couldnt agree more and thats one of the reasons i love smokin. you get a different appreciation for things.

:thumbsup:

it makes you realize all the things you are missing when you are sober, all the things that go un noticed or unappreciated. a couple of weeks ago i was riding in my freinds car while high. we were going down a road ive been down a thousand times. but this time i noticed so many things about that area of road that ive never noticed before. very cool.

Yea man it definitely changes the world.:jointsmile:

yes... exactly... i could not have put in better words... when im stoned i feel like i was witnessing the world with the eyes of a child and its very good indeed...
its one of the reasons i love to smoke! :rastasmoke:

i love how time just slows down so it seems that every passing second you can anazlyze every little thing that just happend and everything is so new feeling i love it

brings back the innocence and curiosity of a child

so true. whenever people look at me and i'm wondering around high, i always assume i look like a little kid, wide-eyed, with my mouth hanging slightly open. haha, i love weed.

Apsolutley agree with you 100%!
When I smoke I gain a new perspective on the world and things, I view things straight forward, without other thoughts getting in the way of things. I can just focus on myself and everything else around me easily. This is why when I'm writing a report for English about legal debates or issues I always get a better grade on the papers I wrote after a spliff :thumbsup:

Amen brother. You know, Jesus said to accept the kingdom of god like a child would. I think there is no better way to do this than with weed! You get to experience things almost the way a child does.

i completely agree! actually, this evening i went and smoked a blunt and watched a fantstic sunset in the middle of an empty soccer field for about 30 minutes. i was wondering if i was odd because nobody around here appreciates anything like that, but that completely explains it. it's pretty much just me and two of my friends that value nature and the simple things and what not.lol

I remember one of the first times I got stoned at my neighbor's pad... I stepped outside to walk to my house to get us some more lighters, gum, etc.

So I was walking down the street that I used to play on as a kid every goddamn day, the street that I knew better than everyone else - and on that day it happened to be 1 p.m. on a beautifully sunny Southern California afternoon.

I stopped in the middle of the street, stoned off of my ass, and simply stood in awe as I watched the giant neighborhood trees fumble this way and that in the wind, I stared into a crystal blue sky, saw some squirrels shuffle up into a bush, just struck at how beautiful life can be.

As fucking corny as it sounds, I whispered to myself "Damn... it's times like these..."

Thought I remained the same person... it was still pretty kick-ass, and I'm less of an asshole because of that day. My 2 cents.
