Reading High

... anyone try it? Books, I guess newspaper and magazine articles count too... for me it's so hard because I have no short term memory when I'm high.

 

I like to read while high..I mean my memory is always bad but I feel like I'm actually there..it's pretty cool. Except I my thoughts always stray from what I'm reading

 

funny story. i was high in school one day. went to english class and the teacher asked me to read. i couldn't stop laughing and when my friends laughed, i would turn to them and start a small conversation, all while i am supposed to be reading from the book. teacher didn't find out that i was high, but it was really funny. but just reading a book, newspaper or whatever, i can't concentrate on what i am reading, there's always distractions and when i'm high, those distractions are magnified to a higher level.

 

It helps me remember stuff actually because I play it out in my head and can remember it like some little movie clip; its really cool. I don't really remember the words, but I remember the characters in my mind's eye.

 

When I read a chapter of a book for english stoned, I feel like I'm not unerstanding it nearly as well as normal, yet everything comes back to me at quiz time and I get about the same grade as normal.

 

Same here.

 

Man, when I try to read high, I find that I have to read the same sentence over and over because my mind wanders. I get so frusterated, but sometimes my mind makes up more interesting stuff than what I'm reading.

 

Reading is so hard when your high, you just wanna watch tv and stuff. School work is even harder you just end up writing a title and nothing else.

 

that sounds like a cool idea to try i always have these good ideas for things i should do when im high but i forget. last time i remembered to think about the world and stuff and i did and me and my buddies had this 45 minute conversation on something i forgot tho! itll take me a sec to remember but its off the subject anyway. so yes i will try to read but its just better to watch tv and laugh ur ass off.

 

Same for me.. =P

 

reading high sucks.

in high school (11th grade) i would always get blazed right before lunch and english was after that. i could never read in that class. one time, i was trying to and i fell asleep and smacked my teeth on my desk. it was funny. everyone knew i was high except the teacher. she loved me.

 

Reading High has Been Amazing For me..i'd Do a WaterFall and Sit back and Read the Like's of Lord of The Rings (AMAZING WHILE HIGH!) or any of jack Kerouacs book's...it's like i'm Living the words ,they become so vivid ,the only Trouble is that i Barely remember what i've read afterwards ,so i'd usually read the same book again when I'm not High.

 

its hard at first, but if you can get used to it, get into the flow of reading, reading while high is REALLY cool.. think of how a movie or music is enhanced while you are high, its sort of like that except with words.... sometimes i even prefer it to music.
i read fiction,
the imagery becomes so sensual, you become immersed in its world, and it becomes so real...

 

I disagree, I wrote my entire research paper for my World Lit. and Comp class high; it was about the pros and cons of mairjuana use .

Oh, and some suggested reading: Timeline. Trust me, you contemplate how they go back in time oh so much; I only did this after I'd read the book because I read it way before I ever tried bud. I need to read it again...

 

The intro to timeline was awful. Reminded me of a bad superstation movie. I guess the rest of the book was alright, and yeah, it makes you think about the nature of existance and stuff like that.

 

whenever i try to read high.. i always think "why am i reading.. i'm high". so i think of something more fun to do. but after reading this i think i might try it sometime when i'm required to read

 

i cant read while i'm high...it takes too damn long and i loose patience...and reading a map is extremely difficult...all the roads get tied into knots...

 

if i read a book i would rather im stoned. like if i read hary potter its like im actually there i havnt tried this with ne other books cos i dont really read

 

i find the hardest part of reading high is when you go to teh next line. it takes me ages to link up the end of one line on teh right to the start of the next line on teh left. i need to keep dragging my finger across or something

 

I think readin while high is fun. i was reading falen angels for english its a vietnam based book. easy read 9th or 8th grade level. but good thing i didnt try when we were doing shakespeare. but reading isnt that hard , it feels good. and i remembered alot of the stuff i read


edit: i used my finger too to conneect the lines. its hard to connect them without use of an appendage ( is that what fingers can be called?)
