Why does someone always gotta ask?

ps. are you saying that you dont ask ppl 'hey wassup' when on drugs, or ask someone 'hey dude is it raining outside?"

 

i sometimes ask if people are high if we are just talking after a bong or somehting...and if they say no, then its time to load up another!

 

i hate when people think im high just because i say something out of the ordinary. theres kids who think im like, high all the time just even though i only smoke once or twice a week. this was random.. sorry haha

 

I understand what Infinite Sky is saying though. I'd rather just go along with the feelings and emotions rather than become engrossed with how fucked up I am. It's interesting when you have a group of people and you all start out so straight and about and hour later you notice how much of a guard everyone has put down and that is when you stop and just say, "Yeah, I'm feeling it."

The other day was the worst, some friends asked me if I wanted to try some 20x salvia. I said sure but soon regretted it. I hadn't even inhaled the smoke all the way before this kid goes, "you feelin it man? you feeling it?" So I fought myself for about half an hour, holding onto sobriety was difficult and one of my friends told me she knew that's what I was doing because of how I was acting,and rejected the fucked up feeling because I hate when drugs become an experiment.

 

I try to harness the effects of THC as a means rather than an end. That is to say, simply smoking a bowl before commencing in small talk about minutia with friends isn't really up my alley, as I find doing so high is nearly an identical experience as doing so sober. Upon smoking socially, I prefer to either interpret or marvel at events or ideas that trump the human experience since marijuana affords the capability to do so from a perspective that is otherwise unavailable, which I consider a measure that's both practical and satisfying.

But more often than not I smoke marijuana either for maintaining bodily equilibrium (regaining my appetite, fending off insomnia, recharging kinesthetic memory, ect.) or for solitary meditative purposes.

So, to recap and hopefully avoid further confusion, I don't typically seek the sensation of simply feeling high - an end. Instead, I use the effects as a means to view ideas in a different light, which is quite useful for what much of my work and leisure entails.

If you still don't understand why small talk doesn't fit into my pot smoking agenda, I'd be more than happy to go over the concept of mutual exclusivity with you.

 

the only bit i dont understand is why youd deny yourself an interaction that overall could never really take more than 10 seconds. it doesnt interfere with the stone. its not like you have to focus all your attention on being high to communicate 'hey man are you high?' 'yeh man im pretty high'. its not about means vs end. its about means, and identifying to your company what your means are. you talk of smoking weed like its a self disciplinary ritual. each to his own! just didnt think a 10 second communication ended up gettin in the way of all the wonderful engaging states and processes of marijuana

 

It is to a certain extent for me, and no, that question doesn't ultimately impede the effects that I'm after; it's just a stupid thing to ask in my opinion, not unlike questioning the destination of someone who is walking out the door with a fishing pole and a tub of worms.

I get the feeling that we'd be better off pounding round pegs into square holes beyond this point as I don't really have much more give you, save a few analogies that will ultimately result in more hair splitting. Nice talking to you though.

 

I dont like when someone asks me if i am high i just like to sit and chill in silence. although i prefer getting high by myself over a bunch of people because someone allways tends to ruin the moment.

 

nice one big slice. there is allways that person who likes to say something stupid and ruin it for everybody. i hate those people.

 

i like it when people ask that because it gives me space to say how stoned i am, which i usually do not do because it's so annoying.

 

HAHA yeah i've met a few of those...

 

ahahahaha borat!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love borat.

as for ppl pretending to be high, i've seen that shit too!!!! so cheap. waste of weed too cuz they don't inhale.

 

if I'm smoking with a first timer I wont straight up ask if they're high, I'll just ask how they're feeling and see what they say, then go from there...

actually that's pretty much what I do with anyone if I feel the need to ask, I just say "how ya feelin"

 

If a simple yes or no question erks you so much you have to post about it on the internet, I think you have bigger problems.


Try calming down a bit and saying "Yes" or saying "No"

Try it a few times outloud, its not as hard as you make it sound.

 

Behavior is situational and, with regards to the situation currently being discussed, I'm generally not very receptive to that particular question. Why is that so hard to understand?

 

yeah. why's it such a huge deal?

 

I would have to completely agree with that. There is no need to ask if your high yet when sooner or later everyones gonna be high. Whats the need for knowing whos high yet and who isn't? What kind of gratitude do you get on knowing if somebody else is high before or after you?

 

well i myself like knowing if the people im smoking with are on the same level as me....and i can read their response to the question like a book....that way i wont beel dumb luaghing at somethn instead of holding it in/posturing

 

though you shouldnt have to posture at all

i dont really ask the question unless im tryin to get someone high first time.. but i think its ridiculous to even consider it for more than the amount of time it takes to ask and answer, unless the answer is 'no' after a big sesh then i mean, thats something that you ought to know!!
