Who here posts more when they’re high on something? I find I can’t post anything lengthy unless I’m drunk on caffeine, liquor or sweets.
i’m high on pot about half the time i post. i try not to post when i’ve been drinking, because i have a history of unintentionally pissing people off when i do that.
I usually smoke weed when I wake up in the morning, and then throughout the day until I go to sleep at night as to avoid that nasty feeling of not having smoked any weed. So, almost everything I post, well…everything I post, I do while there is weed in my system. But what does that really mean?
Now alcohol…I almost never drink. But it seems like almost every time I do, I post at least something. There have been a handful of times where I’ve logged on and seen entire conversations I’ve had of which I had no recollection.
To me, it"s as if I go straight for a while, then start smoking. But its off again on again, and it does give me memory losses as alcohol. I am the point where I do pretty good poetry on the stuff, but often loose my train of thought when I try to think philosophically. But it’s definitely a creative +
If I’m not high, I can’t think rationally and can become hostile and unreasonable and I just kinda drool at my goals with glassy eyes and no morals.
So it’s best I smoke.
I find caffeine and sugar stimulate my productivity, and alcohol releases my inhibitions. I’ve been pretty drug free lately, which is probably why I’ve been posting a little less than usual. Recently I’ve upped my sugar intake. Refined sugar is like a drug in many respects, it has little or no food value, and it can have a surprisingly dramatic effect on the body/mind, unbeknownst to the user, especially the habitual user, which is 95% of moderns.
Tampering with the wetware in a foolhardy effort to improve the mindware.
You might just as well pour coffee onto your motherboard in an effort to improve the performance of your PC and get rid of its viruses.
I concur James. I attribute 90% of our neurosis to bad drinking, eating and puffing. It’s just that they can be so tempting, especially when you’ve been indulging in them all your life. I find the temptation lessens with time and discipline.
Get rid of the viruses, and the rest will take care of itself.
Psychological issues resolve themselves in time.
Neurological issues prevent that natural maturation.
… and keep you busy trying to scratch the untouchable itch… “boredom”.
You know, I almost never feel a big change when I smoke weed. It’s more like I just kinda stay the same. Little up, little down, average out toward the middle.
For whatever reason though, I’m extremely sensitive to caffeine and sugar. If I go and eat a few donuts, I literally get an almost immediate surge of energy. Scratch that…better example…why should I never drink beer? Because all that unfermented sugar that’s left in there, for whatever reason man I dunno, but when I drink I become crazy hyper and run around like a kid who just ate 3 chocolate bars. Caffeine too. If I drink a bunch of coffee, or even shit like mountain dew or soft drinks with a lot of it, and then stand up too fast, I can literally faint in my living room. Crazy shit.
That’s kind of what happens when you haven’t been sober in a decade. You use to feel normal.
People mean different things when they say sober.
They sure do. I just mean not high or drunk.
He’s right. What you think is normal is probably a bit fucked up, a high you’ve become accustomed to. As for why caffeine and sugar effects you so, perhaps it’s because you already have a high carbohydrate intake from other foods which you may or may not eat, like white bread, rice or fruit, or other kinds of junk food and snacks. Your body may already be overloaded on sugar from other sources, from sources other than cake, coffee, cookies and donuts, which you use to counteract the depressive effects of Mary Jane. Or maybe your bodies so full toxins that your liver’s already overwhelmed and can’t process anymore.
I fucking hate white bread and rice. I do have 2 bananas and an apple on the counter over there. No donuts or coffee. No chips. No carbonated beverages other than occasionally at random. I do occasionally grab these cookies they bake across the street, but not that often. I don’t think there are any toxins in my body. All my food comes from one of those amazing grocery stores where everything is fresh and organic and all that jazz. I don’t take any prescription meds, and I almost never take over the counter meds. 2 advil if my shoulder or spine starts to ache too much and prevents sound sleep. I piss clear man. I drink 8 glasses of water a day.
What’s so wrong with being high man? I can understand that people probably should never get drunk at all. But high? I mean…I would think that if getting high was making you have a shitty life, that you’d wanna cut it out, but I’m actually so happy with my life that it makes people sick. Am I way off base? What’s so bad about it?
Good for you, then your body is probably just wise, fine tuned, it knows what it needs and what it can handle and what it can’t. Symptoms aren’t necessarily negative, they’re your bodies way of purging itself from toxins and letting your mind no what’s what, so it’s just letting you know those things aren’t good for you… and they’re not, caffeine and refined sugar are toxic, even in small doses.
I see these soft drinks in the store that have “pure cane sugar!” and I think to myself “what the fuck man?”
Absolutely nothing is wrong with it. I’d say moderation is a good idea, but to each his own. My comment was about tolerance.
Marijuana is crap, it’ll increase your risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke, especially prolonged use/high doses.
