Reading

to sum it up though, when i read fiction, i tend to read what its telling me and then start imagining all this other stuff on a tangent, but you cant do that when reading a book, your meant to imagine whats in the words, and yeh, i dont like reading someone elses imagination put into words, for me to then decode and create in my own imagination, which will never be what the author intended.

 

I always have hade trouble reading, so no I never read a book when I am stoned.

 

you understand almost anything when stoned. its pretty incredible

 

i have problems keeping an attention span long enough to get past more than 2 pages... i need to have nothing distracting around me at all... stoned or sober.... when i do read its informative read... i cant stand reading stories... if im gonna waste my time with something i wanna learn from it... i dont read stuff to find out if the killer was John Doe's best friend or if it was his maid he was cheatin on with his wife...

 

you know, there are others types of fiction besides murder mystery love stories

 

I like it better because i can picture things better.

 

Bill, I dig what you're saying. Entertainment, most of the time, turns me off. I mean, it is a waste of time. I'd rather be doing something at least somewhat productive, rather than merely being entertained. Even if I'm just reading to learn, which is still not a great accomplishment if it's not going towards something. They call that idle curiosity.

Though it's not a bad thing once in a while, we all need time to just relax and fiction books, TV, movies, etc can all be a good outlet. I think we all just get too caught up in it

 

my eyes get so dry and i have to blink often. reading would be torture..... even with visine they feel dry and thn i start to get tired, then hungry, then lazy, so i can't really read high.... i can't even flip through a mag. before my eyes start driving me crazy.

 

whats a book?

 

its them square things you rip pages out of to roll joints when you run out of rolling papers

 

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..those

 

It all depends on what it is that I am reading. If I am reading something which interests me, then I will be able to enjoy reading it stoned. If it is something that does not interest me, then I will not be able to focus on it. I really like reading philosophical, religious, psychological, and other scientific things while stoned, but could really care less about something such as the weight of paper.
