Sober...High?

[VoidLivesOn]

I'm sure all of us have been high plenty of times and thought about stuff.

Now whether or not that stuff was relevant or made sense is up to whoever you were to tell.

But have you ever been with friends who were high while you were sober and watched them interact, or maybe recalled, while you were sober, a time when you were high and thought of something you thought was cool and interesting at the time but when you were sober it turned out to be irrelevant and stupid?

I'm talking about people who maybe, while sober, wouldn't exactly think it was a good idea to sit on their ass all day high and distinguish the difference between how someone else perceives a trash can and a tree (real shit there). Or bragging and boasting how wonderful a burger is just because they are high for the 20-40 minutes they are eating it.

I'm actually thinking about people who feel like when they smoke, a new world is open up to them, like when they smoke they conceive a whole new way to think about "life". I hate that pot head, philosophical, deep thought bull shit. To me it's fraud. If you have to be high to even think like that what was the point of being born sober? Or even being sober in the first place? I just like to smoke, be high, chill to music, and not use it as some ingenious thinking technique when, by the time you're sober you realize whatever you were thinking about in the first place was stupid and confusing and pointless anyway.

Hopefully, but I probably am, I didn't infringe on the way anyone may think while they're high. Or anything they may look forward to when they get high. It's just all silly to me.

I don't know why I like to get high. It just makes me happy to get high.
..and I always look forward to it.

It's what I do.

We all have different levels of intelligence.
Pot doesn't change this.
A relatively stupid person is still going to be stupid when they're high,
an intelligent one intelligent.
We all different ways of processing things as well, devoid of how intelligent we are.

Now, sometimes, I get comfortable with an emotion and a sensation, I.E. being happily stoned and enjoying a burger, and any intellectual thought would only take away from this expirience. I will realize how much I am truly enjoying this expirience, and from there, the expirience will only be THAT much better. Relativity. I want to RELISH this expirience, feel every last greasy morsel of burger on my tongue.

But just becuase I chose to spend my high, in the most rewarding way at the time, doesn't mean that in a different situation, one where I most likely don't have a burger or a primarily indica variety of pot, I might find that intellectual thought, aided by the wonderful mind-altering properties of pot, much more rewarding.

The thing with thc, it's not that you're realizations and perceptions that you found so incredible while high AREN'T that incredible, it's that when you try to perceive them sober you don't always reach the same level of understanding. You're mind isn't going to think as fast, connotations and images that aren't always portrayed in conscious realization aren't going to come to a sober person as they would a high one. As well as the fact, the RELATIVITY of the situation, the comparison to your sober mind and your high one, leaves you startlingly AWARE of how altered you are, positively and negatively.
And the fact that when you're sober, you're just not going to remember everything that you thought of in 1.2 seconds that caused such a feeling of understanding while stoned.

From a sober perspective, yeah, those relatively intelligent stoned people's thoughts may SEEM dull and inarticulate, but if you were in their place, they may very well be the personal intellectual highlight of their month. You just can't perceive them that way.
Stoned thoughts are a very personal thing.

You obviously didn't get the purpose of using those as examples& can't think deeper than what you've always known.

Also, I was told the theory behind dominate and reccesive traits was first thought up by someone under the influence of LSD. So marijuana, along with other drugs, can actually indeed open a new world full of new concepts and reasons behind the facts.

basically when ur stoned you become dumb.

i think/tlk bout stupid shit thinking its really important
then when im sober and i reflect on what ive been doing,saying or thinking for the past hour im like wtf. or ill just be asleep

[Mean Green Charlene]

Thats stereotyping lil josh.

[lil josh]

lol but the funny thing is i dont care lol.

and also ive never met sum1 who when there stoned becomes clever...

[Mean Green Charlene]

Well like Inferius stated. A dumb person isn't going to become smart while smoking, but a smart person isnt also going to become dumber while smoking.
