All I'm saying is I hear much more sensitively stoned. I don't just "believe" I do. I actually do. My brain actually processes audible signals with greater sensitivity. It seems like you understood me to say the sounds actually get louder (as far as the real decibel volume). I'm not saying that; how could my smoking weed make my neighbors actually talk louder??

I'm saying my body hears them as louder and hears more detail and clarity. "Overly important in your brain" basically just means "louder in your brain". And your brain is where audible signals are processed.

When I'm not stoned I never hear conversations of other people in my condominium. When I'm baked I can literally hear entire conversations. I totally agree that the dopamine probably plays a big part of that. It is a very cool thing. It's freakin' amazing actually.

Also, the "big insights" weed gives me aren't just ordinary thoughts. Certainly a lot of thoughts experienced while high are just ordinary. But again, weed sometimes brings a unique clarity and creativity to the thought processes. I'm a patent agent, patent attorney, and inventor and some of my best work as far as improving concepts and models has come when I'm stoned. I'm also a musician and the weed seems to really give me a boost of creativity when it comes to laying down tracks with a nice groove and feel. (This comes from listening to the recording later, so its not just bias experienced while high).

So these "big insights" you guys have are just ordinary thoughts.
And those "intense sounds" you hear are just your brain interpreting the signals as overtly important.

The human brain is tight. A have a tatoo on mine. :thumbsup:
jsn9333 Reviewed by jsn9333 on . The weed gives me super human hearing... you too? When I smoke out my hearing ability goes through the fucking roof. Seriously, I'd say it triples or even more. I'll hear someone across the street getting out of their car and think someones bangin' on my door or window. It literally seems that loud to me, and when I'm sober I would hardly even hear it. I can hear entire conversations of people in other rooms who are talking very quietly, and in the same situation if I am sober it just sounds like incomprehensible mumbling. Does that Rating: 5
