What does it feel like to get stoned?

it puts you in a stress free zone, when the worldly problems become to much to bare...the weed will set you free and make you feel like ur in space......floatin' on cloud 9...then u feast.......then you sleep....and repeat

 

Flannel why do you want to know how it feels if you're planning on living a drug-free life? If you honesty don't want to do drugs don't even think about it, else try and make a decision for yourself! Don't take this wrong I do respect your innocents on this matter and the other thread about the boy toy, just make sure you don't let those morals sway as you get older eh.

Duck and TNS - Nice posts.

 

Smoke weed. Then you'll know.

 

The only way to live.

 

Thanks =D
I liked yours too.

 

like a slice of butter...

melting... on top of a... big pile of flapjacks!



......yeah.

 

you have to get out of the mindset that drugs are bad and need to be avoided.

psychoactives can give you something nothing else can.

I'm not saying they're for everyone, and all are good, but what i am saying is that you can learn from them, and have fun.

that being said they can also ruin your life if you're not careful...


in the end it's your choice, and not my job to tell anyone what they should do, but that's just my view.

I smoked my first joint at 16. My closest friend brought one over one afternoon, and my parents were gone, so we went out to the garage and smoked it. I had no idea what it would do, but he said it wasn't bad, so I tried it.

Later, after he left, I noticed that I was feeling great, kind of different, and "mellow", or "buzzed" and that when I turned on some music, it was so much different to listen to things, where you could make out EVERY part of the music,,the bass, the guitar, the drums,,distinctly, like your listening apparatus had been enhanced somehow. So, I stayed on the headphones for a while, then busted out my electric guitar, and wow. I wasn't playing so frenetically anymore, trying to hit the biggest quantity of notes, but for a change, I was trying to hit the RIGHT notes, and hit them good. Each note, each phrase, each subtle tonal inflection took on more importance than previously, and I found I could get into a "groove", and stay there.

Music got real fun, real fast.

But listening was also better, groovier. Pot seemed to make listening much more fun than before.

It definitely enhanced the senses, in every way,,all five of them, and more perhaps.

Whoa, the first time I discovered food while stoned,,what a revelation. Tasting things, just like hearing things, took on a whole other dimension. The "munchies" really got hold of me. I never got fat, because I was very physically active, and surfed, skateboarded and biked constantly. Biking especially was a groove. I lived in West Los Angeles, California, and there were hills, and going biking on my ten-speed was so much better high. The feeling of freedom and the wind in your face, and working up a sweat and coasting downhill,,the control was enhanced. Pot doesn't make you so that you can't do things. It makes you so that you can do them better, if you just take a few hits. That's what I liked about it. It enhanced my abilities. It wasn't like taking downers, like some of my friends did, but it was for doing things, and creating, etc.

Everything sensual was enhanced. Everything.

So, I got in the habit, and bought "lids" (ounces) consistently. I loved the activities associated with pot, the cleaning, the rolling, the making things to smoke with,,it's like you can suddenly make up shit from out of nowhere that works as a smoking device. Very cool for inventing things. I would imagine that movie directors get high. I know that some actors do. Charlize Theron, for example.

After a few years, and some time exploring college (which I couldn't get into. pot tends to take away your desire to partake of things only on an academic level.) I began to use other chemicals which I considered to be safe, namely hash (loved it,,makes you laugh,,like pot, but takes much less) and acid, which is not a "stoners" drug, but something that actually motivates you to give up getting stoned. It's an "awakening" type drug. It kind of slaps you in the face with your life, and says "get it together and quit f'ing around. if you believe it, live it".

I gave up smoking stuff for a few years, when I joined a religious cult called the "Children of God", which was a hippie/communal/Jesus kind of thing led by man who was a real perv, but we didn't know until later. Got out of that after a couple of years, married a woman from in the group, and began the "responsibility" trip. After taking low-paying jobs for a while, I landed a position with the California Department of Transportation, otherwise known as "Caltrans". That paid pretty good, relative to what I was making before, and I stayed there for ten years. Some of the guys I worked with smoked, so we would get high on the job. We even had gardens on the side of the road, which we would see while driving by, but no one else noticed, because they were just whizzing by on the freeway.

But the kids grew up, got to where they were noticing daddy being really "funny" after work, very entertaining, with excellent jokes and such, and because I wanted them to be drug free, I quit.

That was around 1985 or so.

At the same time, I was going to church, and it just felt funny to be in the midst of these religious people, all dressed up, and coming down off a high. I talked to someone I respected about it, and he said that it was something I needed to "reject", so I did, at least for the time.

Later on, that same person acted in such a way as to lower my regard for him, so I began to disregard whatever he had told me.

Now, I've had occasion to smoke a joint with others frequently, since I now play in bands that smoke, and it helps when we're all "on the same page". It does help get into that "groove" that musicians seek out.

I just got word from my youngest son, who is visiting Europe for the first time. He's been there since early June. He and his buddies stopped off in Amsterdam, and they smoked some, and had some brownies there. He said that at first, they didn't seem to notice anything, but then realized that they were just sitting around, and everything was funny.

I'm looking forward to hearing more when I pick him up at the airport on Sunday. Or maybe not. It's going to remain a secret, since his mom is not a smoker.

I wouldn't call it a necessity, and I fully understand your feeling about your kids.

I like coffee, myself. Smoking sometimes puts me out of use for the day, if I had anything practical I wanted to get done, like working on the car. It's not always the easiest thing to remember things while you're stoned. You can lose track of time, and forget where you put things, etc.

Still,,If I had my druthers, I would FOR SURE be growing some. I see people documenting their growing and it makes me want to grow some myself. It's a pretty plant, and very fragrant. That in itself presents a problem when you're trying to keep it on the downlow.

But my wife would bust me in a second,,haha,, She's very naive, and dangerously so. It's what you get from marrying some stranger in a religious commune

Two other forums I've visited that I've enjoyed reading from are:

(this one has at least one thread that a poster did, documenting his growing, with some awesome pictures: The following link drops you in the middle of the thread somewhere http://forum.grasscity.com/grow-journals/98645-mr-postmans-overgrown-closet-grow-19.html )

Again, it's your own choice. You may like it, you may not. If you approach it with an open mind, you probably will. If you approach it with a negative bias, you probably won't. Some people are so hesitant, they don't give it much of a try, and simply don't get high the first time. Then they go around bragging about how it didn't work for them.

It's all in what you want to do with your life. :cheers2:

 

hahahaha i love pineapple express :sifone:

 

I could probably quote every single line from that movie front to back...

i've seen it so many times it's rediculous.

and it's still just as funny.

"Thug life! (ch-ch)"

 

I don't think anyone can explain what it would be like, cause it feels different for everyone. If you don't want to experiment, more power to you, but if you want to one day be able to tell your children it's easy to avoid getting stoned, I'd worry more about them getting drunk than smoking pot, personally.

 

I'm just curious.

 

There's only one way to satisfy your curiosity:sifone:

 

curiosity killed teh cat!

 

+1

 

lol i find this ironic.

last night at the pharmacy the pharmacist (rick) was like arguing with this customer about the effectivness of the apap in liquid percocet (that's what the script was writting for, and we only had the one without the apap). rick was like "IT DOESN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING ANYWAYS, BUT IF YOU INSIST WE CAN GET YOU SOME LIQUID TYLENOL AND SHE CAN TAKE THAT AND SEE IF IT DOES ANY GOOD BUT I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT IT WILL!". when the guy found out we didn't have the liquid with apap rick was originally like "well would you be ok with crushing up the pills and dissolving them in water?". and i thought pharmacists weren't supposed to tell you to do that kind of stuff... tsktsk. i guess they can with the doctor's approval though

 

well said

 

for some reason i'm better when i'm not stoned...
OP: weed enriched my life, maybe it could do the same for you. never know til you try.

 

so heres what i don't get... what respect in front of your eventual offspring can you earn by approaching a subject with a closed door? you seem to be gathering information to throw at them one day "well i never did drugs" is not a moral high ground when presented to a teenager. think about it, you are 16 right? if your parents caught you (smoking pot, cigarettes, drinking, fucking etc etc) and took the position of 'well im better than you because i never, or i waited or whatever would you simply tuck tail and prostrate yourself? thats just not good planning.

my parents were (get this) honest with me! the said to stick with naturals because they are safer, be wary of chemicals, and to ask them when i need advice. and i trust them and am honest with them in return. i couldn't rebel as a teen, because my parents were understanding of my problems. the worst punishment i got (when no phone, no tv, no computer, no going out failed to work) was having my books taken away. yeah, my mom swept through the house and removed the reading material, including books i had waited for years to come out. my grades shot right back up.

but anyway, i think you are approaching your future closeminded, and thats not a good thing. you are like a horse with blinders on, take them off and you'll get spooked by everything on the sides. then you panic and mow down several people before the carriage tips over and its bloody mess in the road and well, you get the idea im sure.

 

ever sit on a hot curling iron, then bang your head off a lamp, step in bowl of water for a cat, fall backwards into a tv set that blast the volume really loud..
