Blind person getting high?

[robo scat]

I was thinking after smoking 3 blunts and 2 bowls today, :rastasmoke: what a high be like for somebody who'd permanently lost their vision? Do you think it would be more trippy than our highs, or maybe too stressful because their thoughts would be racing? I'm assuming it would still be similar to our highs after they got used to it, but maybe more dependant on what they thought and heard (especially how blind people usually develop more sensitive taste, smell, and hearing?) as opposed to how we have the added factor of what we see.

If that made any sense, think about it, and share your thoughts. :jointsmile:

My best friend is blind and we get high as hell all the time. Only thing is after smoking a lot he tends to feel everything, trying to see with his hands.

I was smoking with at a friends place and there was a blind guy there, he lost his sight from some kinda accident, he wouldnt go into detail. But anyway I asked him the same thing and he said that in his head he could see things so much easier. Like remembering what someone looked like stuff like that. He said that he can also hear every conversation happening around us. I guess while hampering your short term mem, it enchances your long term.
Im sure this would be different then someone who never had vision, I wonder what they would see.

You know, if you're really serious about it, you can just use one of those things that people use to help them sleep...ya know, those things that go over your eyes to block out light? Yeah, that thing.

Or eye patches. I've always wondered this too, and if worse comes to worse, you can just try smoking with your eyes closed the entire time?

^ wouldn't bee the same i don't think unless you actually wore that "eye patch"/ eyes closed for a long period of time. just putting it during smoking would be something, but not the same...

Thats what I meant, the entire time you're high.

I dont think it's the lack of sight that makes the high different, but rather the other senses being hightened, as well as the rerouting of various neurons in the brain to compensate for the blindness. All covering your eyes while high would do is make you unable to see...

I once wrapped a shirt around my eyes and was like that for hours, also smoked a joint :jointsmile: and got some crazy CEVs, I would like to do it but for 1 day entirely to see if my senses heighten :stoned:

I wonder too what it would be like for a blind from birth guy!!

Can you imagine how good music would sound?

[ganjzilla]

this is a quiet interesting thought and i have wondered about this myself in the past...im hoping though that i never find out however, being born without sight is bad but i cant imagine how hard it would be to deal with the permanent loss of sight knowing youll never see again
