I don't know what your highs are like, but for me the first half-hour is always the most interesting. What actually happens I could never explain, but someone in another thread put it into words perfectly. I "see" my own thoughts. Not like a hallucination, but you know what I mean. I see my own thoughts and my thoughts are always A barrage of incomprehensible images doing wierd incomprehensible things that flood my mind and change dramatically with the music. Often the things I visualize are making the music. Like if I visualize a cucumber and music comes on the cucumber might start making the music. The one thing I always 'see' is this wierd black-and-white cartoon character that takes on uncountable different forms. I'd been visualizing it most times I smoked but I discounted it as a figment of my imagination. Then one day I was eating at a diner with my toking buddy and I decided to go to the bathroom. And on the door right in front of me is that cartoon character. Aaah! I backed up, got my friend and said thats the thing I always see when I'm high!!! And he said oh yeah, that's Felix the Cat. I have no idea how that got into my mind lol. Felix makes music sometimes too. Like if were listening to jazz his mouth opens like five feet and the music comes out. xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Hee hee I love Felix the Cat! The wonderful wonderful cat! During the winter months at the old house the florida room would be covered in plastic sheeting to keep the snow out. After a few I would feel the invisible hand over my head and if you watched the different folds and waves in the plastic shapes and figures could be made out. From woodland scenes, cartoon dogs, you name it never the same scene twice. Really makes me want to pick up another lava lamp. Take Care! Bill
i always "see" my self with two eyes, the eyes to the world and the eyes to the mind, and if i shut both of them, i see eternity. when my eyes are open i dont ussually see much exept an ocatonal pattern across a flat surface, but when i close my eyes i see whole loads of compleatly random stuff....
that is exactly what happens to me. Just like that..sort of see my thoughts. But only if I smoke alot of good weed. I used to get way higher tolerance is a bitch. =\
Yay!!! Yeah, from experience you never see the exact same thing twice. Low tolerance is the shit. Because I smoke a lot, but usually just 2-3 days a week so I guess my tolerance builds more slowly.
hell yeah dude, its like you dont see images in front of your eyes be you see flowing images in your mind with your thoughts you dont see em but you see em ya know? the cartoon shit i picture like i say in other threads man shit like on mickey mouse cartoons i dont see but their in my mind. and little images do pop up with my eyes closed. i love weed.
I see weed as an enhancement of your imagination, and imagination is what allows us to better understand our reality. "All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions. " "I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. " Albert Einstein.
I think I must get something similar. I get an intense blurring rush of colours and themes and ideas that penetrate my thoughts in a similar way to how you described them. And yes I think its true to say those ARE my thoughts in some sense of meaning.
Whenever I smoke, I always picture people as if they were animals, but really exaggerated; even myself. I never picture like real animals though, more like cartoons. My friend always looks like a mouse to me, every single time! His nose is longer than it usually is, actually a perfect way to describe is that he looks like that that rat from Charlotte's Web! I always picture myself as a lion with glasses on. Another common thing when I am high is that I always feel like I'm in a movie, and I get the strange feeling that somebody is watching what I do, but I don't get creeped out by it or anything. Kinda like my life is being narrorated but I can't hear the narrorator.
when i'm high, i often notice a strong relationship between my trail of (cannabis influenced) thought and the 'structure' of various dreams i've had in the past. i also find myself making up completly meaningless words in my head and assigning them to obscure objects or actions... gotta love weed
