Describing/imagining being high when you're sober. (reddthat.com)

Do you feel like it's possible to accurately imagine or even describe what it's like to be high when you aren't? Every single time I get high, the experience always sort of, surprises(?) me, as being so drastically different from what I might have anticipated. It's always such a paradigm shift in how I experience my Self and my place in the "universe." (Currently at a 5.)

I think people put way too much pressure on themselves to "get high" and then end up having bad experiences. Cannabis is best enjoyed in moderation as a nice seasoning to your experience. It's the difference between having a glass of wine or a beer and getting falling down drunk. I don't think you should try it again if you don't want to but others are reading this please just try having a small amount and enjoying a very mild buzz.

I enjoy a few hits a couple times per week. Gives me a very mild buzz and helps me sleep better. I have no desire to get high.

I misunderstood that your normal experience was the bad one and that you had given it up (which is fine with me!). Thanks for helping me understand
