So I got high for the first time last night...
...and I have to say, my first response after my mind cleared was:
"WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ILLEGAL?"
I freakin' LOVED that stuff- it calmed me down to the point where I was relaxed and my mind was slow; something that I desperately needed. I overthink and my mind is hyperactive, and to experience 4 hours of just being....slow...was absolutly awesome.
I prefered this feeling overwhelmingly to drinking.
Damn. Just DAMN. It was GREAT.

2. Welcome to how I felt last week
I prefered it to drinking too. I still was able to sign my name even though I was also drunk and name all the presidents of the US.

6. So you didn't go into some reefer induced rage?
I've never tried the stuff myself, but if the right situation with the right people was to present itself...I donno I might try it. Hell, I love to drink...why not replace one high for another? Damn stupid Nancy Reagan anti-drug propaganda implanted into my brain from a young age!

12. Skunk Weed- Brought to you by Haliburton
costs quadruple the amount of the competitions bud & does a crappy job. In fact, a headache is about all you get.

11. That slowness is exactly why I never liked it.
I used to smoke the stuff on occasion socially many years ago. One night it occurred to me that I did not have to indulge in something I got no pleasure from, and in fact disliked, in order to be social.

I sometimes thought something was wrong with me because I didn't like it. I don't like feeling plodding, thick, and lethargic.

I smoked for 2 years straight daily in high school- then one day
I stopped. Ever since then I haven't liked it any time I've tried. So I haven't in years and years.

Then again, I dont drink much either (maybe every 6-8 months I'll have a few beers with friends) & I used to do that alot too.

19. It's been nearly 20 years since I last smoked it.
Too bad I didn't quit tobacco cigarettes at the same time! I quit those in '98.

15. Ridiculous, isn't it???
The Pharmaceuticals aren't going to allow it to be legal because they stand too much to lose. Marijuana has so many therapeutic benefits that it would make many drugs obsolete. (Not to mention the fact that it's cheaper.)

Also, my favorite thing is...NO hangover for me...beats the hell outta getting drunk in my book!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I can't handle it much any more. Need to find some ditch weed that tastes like the modern stuff but doesn't quite knock me on my ass like it! LOOOOOVE that skunky smell.

21. No false drugs for me.
I'm high on the real thing.
Powerful gasoline.
A clean windshield.
And a shoe shine.

25. careful in that case
sounds like you have the same problem as me - hypo brain, I've been an insomniac for most of my life because despite how tired I am my brain starts thinking of three thousand things and I can't sleep (put it this way even after a shitload of pot I could still talk under 6 feet of water)

unfortunately because of this pot can be very attractive and while it's not going to make you a raving drooling mental case, it's not harmless.

like any drug you pretty quickly build up a tolerance and large amounts of THC can precipitate mental problems (most likely when that predisposition was already there but the jury's still out) it really saps your motivation and you end up spending a fortune.

this year after more than 10 years of heavy smoking I decided to quit - I had insane nightmares for 6 weeks where'd I'd wake up sweating and THAT scared I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat because I totally lost my appetite and I felt achy, after 6 months or so I started again but at a MUCH reduced quantity.

anyway the point of the pain in the bum motherly drug rant was to say careful you don't end up smoking enormous amounts to shut your head up!

28. sweet!
I was fifteen the first time I smoked pot, nearly 35 years ago. I've been an on and off stoner ever since-- mostly off for the last couple of years, but that's one of the nice things about the herb, you can pick it up when you want, and put it down when that seems to make sense for you.

34. Hey wait, that means that Saturday night
while you were getting high, I was seeing that piece of crap movie, Sideways. You punk! You had so much more fun than I did! ;)

Actually, I had a fun night Saturday, but that certainly would have made it better.

39. The very first time
my best friend and I got her sister high, she was like "This is it? I don't feel any different..."

Then she proceeded to go into our kitchen and eat an entire box of Froot Loops without milk.

:D

Good for you, RWX. :smoke:
