What type of high does Cannabis give?

Question

Some people say its a calming relaxed high but others say its like being drunk. Although I am not a smoker my friend is and says that it gives him the same type of high as when his girlfriend whispers sweet notjings into his ear?

Answer 1

it gives the kind of high that makes you as careless as though you were drunk - but somehow you manage to not only worry about your carelessness, you also think other people are increasingly affected by your carelessness. so you try to take care. it gets annoying.

it's the kind of high that makes you unaware of the horrid taste that is on your tongue, that will stay on there for hours after you've smoked, if you had good stuff. if it was bad, you're f---ed.

it makes the unfunny funny, and the ugly - they become pretty ok looking. kinda like alcohol there. also, your reactions can be a bit delayed

it makes you hungry, and almost everything tastes really good, but you don't want just anything. nachos are your favorite friend.

sometimes, you'll get so thirsty, but you don't realize it til i'ts halfway over. you can drink as much as a 1/2 gallon of milk, but you'll still be thirsty. unfortunately, no human is able to drink a half gallon of milk without puking. (unless that was a gallon - i could be mistaken)

it's the kind of high that has made my mother, while i was growing up, put one dollar towards weed for every dollar she put towards myself and my four little sisters. they say it's not physically addictive, but it's apparently mentally addictive

it's the kind of high that makes you wonder why you spend so much money for so little time, to be paranoid, hungry, thirsty...

it's the kind of high that i don't see that it's worth it

Hello,

ANS: The use & effects of hashish, cannabis, dope etc can vary ALOT form extremely mild & therefore the effects of the drug are subtle & gentle. Through to skunk (which I've never tried & have no desire to try as its so incredibly strong), skunk is a special high bred variety of cannabis & is known for its powerful highs which can & do produce hallucinations.

**Also bear in mind how the drug is taken, OK! the popular or common method is to smoke the drug with normal tabbacco. But dope can be eaten raw, mixed into cakes hash brownies!!, can be made into a tea and drunk and so forth.

**From my own experience the differences between cannabis & alcohol are stark. Alcohol on the whole tends to make people more outgoing, lively and then more out of control which often means more violence. Cannabis use tends on the whole to make people more thoughtful, less active, less violent (I never saw anyone being violent when taking cannabis?) more sleepy, more interested in looking & listening (such as to music) etc.

**Cannabis use doesnt often if ever leave a hang over, and after a good nights sleep after cannabis one can get up and carry on with life quite happily without any nasty bad effects. Which cannot be said of Alcohol.

**The experience anyone has with either Cannabis or Alcohol depends to a very large degree upon the state of mind or state of well being before taking the drug. If in a bad state to start with it might not have a plesant result but the opposite can apply though.

There are many different types of canabis that have different levels of potency depending on the strength & abundance of THC(this is the chemical that gets you high, which is completely different from ethanol). The type of high you get depends on the type of grade (slang4marijuana) you pick up from your dealer. The weakest type is called mersh its dry & dark green (theres hardly any sparkle of white powder crystal this is what THC looks like) the type of high you receive feels like your floating on air then after an hour & half you feel a light headache & then you feel dopey & it will increase your laziness if your naturaly lazy watchout; skunk causes the same effects but its a lot stronger. The stronger form of marijuana is known as skunk its rich in THC it will get you very high a lot quicker it looks light green & you can see the white crystals are every where (sometimes its dark green or you see orange dots this is orange bud skunk) this grade is for the more tolerant experienced M.J smoker; the type of high for the beginner is probably too much to handle its not like floating on air more like a feeling of euphoria; I let my friend try it 4 the 1st time & she thought she was gona die although short term you can't die its impossible, she felt she was gona die because the rate of your heart beat increases & once you panic its all over bcos its an alteration of ur mental feeling (your more in touch with ur senses bcos it creates alterations e.g. wen u eat it tastes a lot better(munchies), wen u feel it feels a lot better, when u fear u feel a lot more fear causing ur heart rate to increase then usual, same as wen u panic everything is different. Howver when u eat & drink water it will sober u up & decrease ur buzzz. Skunk makes u really realy lazyy especialy wen u have it before u sleep u wouldn't want to get out of bed. It also causes memory loss so if ur a student its gona effect ur grades depending on how much u take. If u become addicterd to it u will depend on it to sleep. I've been smokin canabis 4 half a decade I started because I was curiouse & every 1 told me that it wasn't addictive they were so wrong. When u begin u think yeah this is great i'll do this once a month, then ur like i'll do it during weekends cos u've got nothing better else to do; then u will find urself doing it everyday during the holidays cos theres nothing else to do; then u will make up any excuse so u can smoke. If ur gonna try it only use Mersh or Hash there almost both on the same level & its a lot less addictive. Depending on urself & whether u have issues of control u will either be able to control it or not. Ask urself can u control ur temper, have u ever cheated on ur girl. can u control ur sexual urges, the amount of alcohol u consume in 1 nite? if u answered yes to all most LIKELY (not definite) u will be able to control the drug instead of the drug controling u.
Happy Toking
PEACE

I find this post a tad funny since its posted in Crafts and Hobbies!...I smoked for YEARS, probably more than everyone here.....I don't anymore.....It isn't like being drunk, the high you get.....but I also agree with the other poster, who wrote it can cause paranoia......It can lead to other things if you just don't care, and are not aware of what the other things can do to you....I don't think it is a bad drug, but it does make some people lazy.....but think they were lazy to begin with, most everyone I know that still smoke, have steady jobs, and don't call in sick like the ones who drink booze...Personally think Alcohol is a far worse legal drug, I have never ever heard of any news story where pot has contributed to acts of violence, always booze, meth, heroine, coke, or some other Man Made substance...If you don't smoke, don't start, it is expensive, and since most really good jobs with benifits require a piss test, you may want to think about where your going to be in the future if you do start.....At Denny's washing dishes.....or a good job......

Answer 5

i think its different for each individual. it makes some feel relaxed and has the potential to used as a medicine or pain killer. personally, it makes me feel out of control, confused and paranoid, so there's 3 reasons not to do it! I know that those who smoke it say "its not addictive, its good for you and its from a reliable source" yeahyeahyeah they are all in denial. It is a class C drug so the cops will do very little about it nowadays but class C still means it's illegal so it must be from some dodgy folk. maybe they traffic arms and people....who knows? not you lot out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and dont say you grow it coz i know some1 who has plant and its taken 3 months to get a splif so it has to be mass produced and therefore controlled by very nasty people.
If you like being anti social, supporting baddies and and feeling paranoid, smoke away& brace your self for the nervous breakdown you might have in the future (i have witnessed this too many times)

Answer 6

It varies. Some people feel drunk, others nauseous, others paranoid or hungry.
Cannabis has links to mental health problems in later life not least schitzophrenia.
Dont bother, drugs are a crutch for losers who dont want to cope with reality

Answer 7

if you are wanting to smoke it be care full as it can send some people a bit paranoid. I have smoked it for years then got fed up with it. Save your money and buy a takeaway

Answer 8

It's not like being drunk. It's not really like anything else. I prefer sweet nothings myself!

Answer 9

i think it gives a more relaxed feel its deffinately not like being drunk. it depends sometimes it makes people sad n depressed other times it make them feel happy and confident. i think it depends on how much you smoke n ur mood! it sometimes makes you feel like you can fly tho lol!!

Answer 10

depends on what your smoking really diff weed diff buzz

some make me tired, lazy
some make me giggle a happy buzz

the worst is the paranoia ohhhh

*edit* its not something i do anymore really , maybe now and then its not something i recommend for everyday use ....
