Why time seems to slow down when high

[Dream of the iris]

I think I've figured out why time slows down when your high. It's simply because when your high, and more importantly when you're enjoying the high, you are truly in the moment. There is no future, past, but rather a pool of consciousness that is just there and that is the present. When you're high, or when you are in a constant state of "superconsciousness" I.E. advanced practitioners of meditation and yoga, you become aware of the present moment and realize that is all there is. That's why colors are brighter and food taste better, because you can truly "taste" it and you can truly "see" it for the first time. I remember one of the first times I was high I came to the realization that being high is like seeing things for the first time, and it truly is because you are in a higher state of consciousness.

Think about it.

That theory has been said in so many different ways, and I believe it too. When I first theorized it, I thought of it as opening your third eye, or taking away the blind fold that life has given us. It let's you see the truth. We aren't on this planet to monopolize industries and be millionaires. We're here for a much greater cause. We're alive. We're living beings. We're life. We are the future, and the future is dictated by our choices in the present. People have evolved so far into corruption. The end is near.

Indeed... i also had the same realization after i started to smoke... for me the things had again the same "old shine" of our childhood things, when everything was more interesting... :stoned:

Your brain can receive more information with your cannabinoid receptors activated.

yeah...I think it's probably more scientific, but equally as interesting and fun.

Oh shit the first poster deserves an applause, really great way of putting it. While we're on the topic, me and a friend were blazed and were making hot pockets.. so I'm just sitting there swaying back and forth, playing air guitar and listening to music (there was none playing, but I was just so blitzed I could hear it, you dig?) and we were waiting for the microwave to get done.. and my friend, John, gets my attention and points to the timer. It says 3:50, and we both gasp. Then we look away, wait, what seems like 30 seconds, look back and it says 3:48; we gasp again. Time felt like it hit a dead stop, or atleast a slow groove, if you know what I mean. It was pretty funny, we were laughing our asses off and cursing the thing.

Oh yeah, and before you ask, those were the best hot pockets we ever had.

Peace :jointsmile:
