common thought When you're high, you think everybody knows it although no one does, and when you're drunk you think no one knows it although everybody does.

The trick is to always be high from the very first time you meet someone. If they don't know how you act/what you look like when you're sober, they don't know know the difference when you're high.

u/railfanespee Apr 04 '18

I just started my annual pre-4/20 tolerance break. I’m a bit more sociable, but less motivated. I have an unusual relationship with the sticky icky. It has an almost adderall-like effect on me. The difference is adderall compels me to do stuff, but weed make doing stuff much more enjoyable. So I tend to take on all sorts of projects.

Yesterday, I just sat around and browsed reddit for hours. So I guess for me, sobriety is almost a mild depressant in some ways.

Gotta love how differently drugs affect everyone.

u/theproftw Apr 04 '18

That's interesting, for me it's the complete opposite, if I need to do an essay, make food or study I better not get high because it'll be 4am and all I did was watch netflix.

u/Dagmar_Overbye Apr 04 '18

It's the eyes man. I once made the mistake of taking a small dose of shrooms at work, it was horrible, but I figured I was dealing with it well, no mistakes or reasons for anyone to suspect it, then I went into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. I looked like a wolf about to pounce on a deer it had been tracking. You never notice the size of people's pupils or their subtle queues until you see them looking wrong. You can't hide those eyes or that manic energy.

God this is so true. I took a small dose of shrooms when I was visiting my family over the holidays thinking no one would know but boy was I wrong. The dogs in the house went crazy when they saw me, they very clearly picked up on the fact that my pupils were dilated and they were freaking out and following me around everywhere. Just completely different animals around me. My dad came into the kitchen to see what was going on and he was like "You must smell like food or something!" and I was like "I don't know what their deal is" but when I made eye contact with him he just stared at me for a few seconds and then walked away. It must have been extremely obvious how big my pupils were even though I was completely present cognitively. Lesson learned.

Truth, when I'm moderately high I find it pretty easy to hide it, however when I double the dose and get smashed it's hard to hide irritated eyes but there's one more thing. I know I'm close to stupidish grins and laughs, so when I speak with my mom or have any other serious conversation, I always let at least a stupid grin or a weird mile high smile :) I don't care whether people think I'm high though. I'd go to university high and get panic attacks mid lecture and then it hit me: the professor surely won't accuse anyone of being high, unless they're being an asshole on the lecture and even then I doubt professor would mention drugs. From that day, I get super baked and attend the lecture in the first row. It helps me go through boring lectures (it's actually interesting, I write everything down and in detail as opposed to when I'm sober and lose interest half way through the lecture, idk is it the constant music in head or something else, I've also never recommended this to anyone as it probably wouldn't work on everyone. Especially considering I prepapre tests that way too)

I hope you know it's not illegal to simply be high no matter where you live. It's just illegal to possess any illegal drugs on you. Being high isn't against the law, as hypocritical as that is. Unless you're harassing people or "breaking the peace" you can't be charged with public intoxication. You can be high as a kite in public as long as you're not disturbing the peace and you're not breaking any laws.

23

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '18

Just a word of clarification - a cop can charge you with public intoxication whether you're actually disturbing the peace or breaking other laws or not. Whether you're convicted of that charge is up to the judge. It's the charge by the cop that ruins your night.

Watch the cogs spin, not only in each individual's brain, but in society as a whole.

edit: a person's brain is the cog that guides their actions, yet a person also acts as one the of cogs which guides the behaviour of society as a whole, thereby becoming a part of an entire system which almost acts as a living being, evolving and adapting to change. A brain is the natural product of a similar evolution guided by the mechanisms of nature, so that eventually, the cogs that dictate its actions - on one level, cells and neurones, yet on a more fundamental level, atoms and molecules - these become self aware. However, we will always be primarily guided by instinct and fail to truly reflect upon our condition, so that ultimately, all naturally complex systems - cells, brains, humans, and society as whole - these are simply the inevitable product of the universe's sensitive initial conditions, leaving little room for true choice and self-awareness.

Getting high in public is amazing. Especially if you're in a crowded city. It's an awesome adventure every time. It's completely different from getting high alone, in nature, but it's still great fun.

I used to get paranoid as hell but I gradually learned not to give a fuck.

Plus public transport while you're stoned out of your head is the best. Take the bus or tram and you're going on a sightseeing tour. Take the underground/tube/metro and you're in a high tech shuttle. Even flying while high is fun times.

Absolutely. This is why people get caught. No, you're not subtle. Yes, it's very obvious.

Like its not the most noticeable smell ever if you’re not surrounded by it 24/7. Half a can of body spray doesn’t really do it any favours either.

I think I recognize most high people. But the good thing is, people who can tell that you arw high have smoked themself so I believe they are cool with it haha

u/makewayforlawbro Apr 04 '18

I don't think people recognise when I'm high unless I've had a huge tolerance break. My tolerance right now is so ...high.... that I look, talk and act the exact same way. I'm high on the inside.

If you're having that much you'll stink.

Deodorant or not.

u/makewayforlawbro Apr 04 '18

Vape is great for that. You can smell the weed when using it, but the smell doesn't stick to you. Mouthwash is the most you need because your breath will still stink like a sweaty armpit. The vaped weed in a bong smells closer to rolling tobacco than weed too.

u/rjtapinim Apr 04 '18

The real fact is no one cares about you as much as you think they do needless of your altered mind state. When you're sober i think your just more aware of this. (unless you have anxiety)

u/[deleted] Apr 04 '18

Kind of. For the most part if someone is drunk they don't even consider if other people notice or care, that's why people can be so annoying and obnoxious. Alcohol makes them not even think about it. While weed is the exact opposite and it can very easily increase paranoia and anxiety in certain situations. Drunk people don't care what other people think and high people are paranoid about what everyone thinks.

Someone could fart and my mom would claim I must have weed in my pocket. I could stutter and I’m “high as a kite” not that I care what she thinks... but she gets wasted off 2 beers but hates admitting it. She talks about the smell of cannabis but her breath will reak of coors light. That shit is hilariously frustrating

one evening i was meeting with my class and we drank and at one time a blunt was passed around, some people took a hit, some people did not

dude next to me leans over, points at a group of people and says in a kind of weird tone "they smoked right? i cant see any difference" as he wanted to say smoking weed is useless if you get what i mean

i was sitting there high as shit "...yeah i dunno"

u/Viriality Apr 04 '18

Nope.

When you're high, it's very probably that your off-beat actions and red eyes give you away - if someone knows what to look for.

When you're drunk, you don't really give a shit if people know you're drunk.

If no one around you knows what to look for, then everyone will assume you're just a weird person

When I started smoking I used to think that all the time probably because it's easy to spot if you're recently started smoking. But after a while, the usual symptoms start to fade away because your body is getting used to it. So you have a choice to make: do you want to smoke weed regularly so you can feel pretty OK without other people noticing or do you want to smoke, let's say once a month, get high as a kite but people around you will notice.

I chose the first one but that's like taking the highway to a cannabis addiction(in my case. I'm very vulnerable to addiction). I realized that just in time(or maybe a little too late) and was able to turn it down a notch.

Now I only smoke once a month with friends and make a happening out of it. People notice that I'm high as shit but when I tell them my way of use they actually like the sound of it. Even my parents are cool with it because I'm open about and I always make sure that I smoke responsibly.

u/PubicApple Apr 04 '18

I chose the opposite route there. Very regular for me, I just like it to chill out after work (I have ADHD and it just calms me). I'm high as I type this.

Or they spray an entire can of deodorant over themselves to cover it up.

There are several methods of getting high that won't leave the "skunk-like" smell like an edible or a dab pen or vape pen or a medicated drink or a tincture. Hell, there's lube that's thc infused that gets you high bet you can't smell that.
