What does being stoned feel like?

I just had someone ask me that. I don’t think anyone’s ever asked me that before. Hmmmm …

Energized. Brilliant. Very very pleased with all that exists. Philosophical. Hungry. At one with my cats and the remote control.

Somehow, that doesn’t seem sufficient. Any help?

Like you’re underwater. And everything is funny, yet extremely deep.

Perceptive, intuitive, merry, content…

How do you know I’m stoned?

Who are you? Why are you hiding behind that tree?

You’re talking about marijuana, right? (not bombardment with rocks?).

For me, it was like feeling I was about to die while time slowed down around me, every time, not pleasant at all (which is why I stopped doing it eventually)

Well, right now, since I just showed up to work…

It feels pretty fuckin’ good. I’ll be going down to the smoking area at around 10:00 PM to have another jazzy. That one should take me all the way to quitting time at 12:00AM.

For me, it feels like nothing much. The one and only time I tried it I got several deep hits but it did next to nothing for me.

Not pleasant, not unpleasant, just… nothing. Not worth all the fuss of breathing smoke into my lungs, really.

It’s different for everyone, though.

Same thing as Avalonian. Don’t like smoke, and it didn’t do jack. Plus, with the penalties for illegal drug sale and possession nowadays, I don’t think any high is worth the risk.

The best feelings in the world all wrapped in one simple paper(or packed tight in pipe or bong :smiley: )

And I haven’t smoked since the first of the year…:frowning:

DAMN probation.

:shakes fists at PO:

it hurts like hell…being stoned cuts the skin and put bruises on ya and not to mention it can kill ya…see there are to meanings to the term…being stoned

Well, my “party” days are sooooo far behind me, I hardly feel qualified to comment on being stoned on pot (do they still call it pot?). However, thanks to my friendly neighborhood kidney stones, I get legally stoned on prescription narcotics on a fairly regular basis. When I’m hospitalized for the stones, they give me morphine. It feels like floating on a cloud. It’s like, the pain is still there, and I can still feel it, but I don’t care, almost like it’s someone elses’ pain. I’m very, very careful not to use this stuff longer than I have to, because I can definitely see how people get hooked! When I’m not hospitalized, I take Oxycodone for the stones. When the attack first hits, I take two at one time, so I can “get on top of the pain”. I feel a little dizzy, a little dreamy, and my sense of humor becomes so finely honed, I’m often amused by, oh, the carpet lint. I’m real careful with this stuff, too. Often, after the first dose, I will take subsequent doses of one Oxy and one Aleve. This is just as effective, as long as I don’t let the pain get out of control, and not nearly as mind-altering.

Being stoned makes me feel lazy and good, thats about it.
Now being spun, thats a different story :slight_smile:

Never tried it myself, but have been told it’s like getting piss drunk, minus the dizzyness, and without the need to puke.

Like a rock.

from this thread (emphasis added).

Depending on your M.O., the risks can be extremely minimal… have someone ask you whether it’s worth the risk when you’re peaking on MDMA :smiley:
Vis a vis a couple of other posts (inhaled, didn’t feel anything), I smoked pot a few times before I got high. I don’t know why.

Smoking pot in various amounts has made me feel these ways:

:slight_smile: :frowning: :o :smiley: :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :cool: :rolleyes: :eek: :confused: :wally :dubious:

But not these ways:

:mad: ;j :smack:

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all the time that I’ve smoked, it’s that when you smoke for the first few times, it’s almost completely unlikely that you’ll get stoned. Even if you take some good hits, you’re most likely not doing something right. Usually, you’ll get stoned your fourth time. And when you do, you feel…soooooo good. This is me: analytical at every little thing, giddy as hell, in tune with the universe, dry mouthed, hungry, and in a general state of euphoria. Now that I think of it, I haven’t smoked in a loooong time (made a promise to someone and I intend on keeping it).

I wouldn’t know. :frowning:

Being stoned always felt to me like being conscious while remaing in your third stage of sleep.

Hm. Been a lot of years now. What stands out is rampaging paranoia and forgetfulness. It’s worst if you order pizza because you’re starving and forget it’s coming…(you have to order in because you aren’t getting off the couch or the floor) and when the knock comes you shoot up to the ceiling…all of a sudden pizza man becomes Gestapo knock. Then if you do it too many days in a row you have the added bonus of burnout - which basically compresses every negative part of being high (and none of the good) but won’t wear off for a good week or more. Uh…maybe that’s why it’s been like 18 years! :smiley:
