Try to describe being stoned

[vermillion]

ive been stoned many times, and a couple pple have asked me what it's like, and i dunno i seem to always give them a really shitty anwser, so im trying to put together everybodys thoughts to try to describe it, please post how u would describe it, and we'll mush it all together

normally i describe it as you being just really relaxed, and your sight is slowed down, like an old video camera looking left and right. you get sort of a salty, but plesant taste in the back of your toungue. your memory is basically like the scene selection of a dvd, you can view a little clip of all of the "scenes" you have while ur stoned. and many times, when u have deja vous, it feels like that moment actually happened, and you will swear on ur life that it did. also, look quickly from left to right, and while looking in the middle, take a mental picture of what you see. then keep that picture in your head and think about it while looking at something else. that is sort of how your sight is. also you tend to be a lot more social, say shit u wouldnt normally talk about (just say "hey... i was stoned", laugh at shit thats not normally funny, and eating while stoned is perhaps better than sex .

well, please feel free to add more descriptions on what it feels like, or correct mine, it might be different for other people.

Being stoned is actually not a correct term for pot because you're stoned just as much as you're un-stoned after you smoke a hit. If that sounds confusing, you'll figure it out. But either way, you're still yourself. I think being stoned is just a barrier to hide behind that no one else sees. Remember, know one else sees it. You could be stoned, or just didn't sleep well. Best answer to are you stoned is "I didn't get any sleep last night."

It makes your senses get into what you're doing in a enlightening or horrific way(depends).

There wouldn't be much point, but I can describe feeling pissed off when I read stupid fucking threads like this!

It's hard to explain because of state specific memory. We can only accurately remember the feeling when we're experiencing the feeling.

I get the imagination of an 8 year old, I become satisfied with the simplest things, and I hallucinate.

Though, i rarely visually hallucinate. I smell things that don't exist, and they are so very strong and real. I'll just be eating chips, and they'll taste like apples for no reason for a short time.
