I smoked a few times in High School, some unknown type in 2008 a few times, once in 2009, and once last night. It's not much experience, but the High School highs were normal, tons of laughs, lots of munchies. The ones in 2009 were when the trouble began. I started staring at walls for a long time and sometimes got a bit paranoid. In 2010, the reason I only smoked once was because the people I smoked with were concerned I didn't react very well to Weed. I became catatonic and stared out in space. So far, the three main people I've smoked with since after High School have all asked if I needed to go to the hospital.
Last night was an interesting high, it had been a while and I was definitely down. I smoked about 4-5 puffs of a blunt (2-3 puffs were small) and I began to see everything differently. If you're familiar with the paintings people do on the streets that look 3D but aren't, it sort of felt like that. Everything was 2D but when anyone would move, their bodies stuck out as if the painting was moving.
When we moved inside, the different perceptions were confusing. The easiest way to explain it is that it'd switch from the television being extremely realistic, like I was living in it, to the entire room being a block of 3D objects and the television was in the center standing alone. The last being the most disturbing, every time I looked to the side of the room, it looked like a scene from Dogville, it got me rather paranoid so I only looked a few times.
Every time I was asked if I was okay, I thought I responded, but then they'd ask again and I realized I hadn't. It was basically three phases of severity. Phase 3 being the most stoned, phase 2 was me thinking I was responsive, and phase 1 was me realizing I was responsive enough to answer and that I hadn't already.
Afterward, and this happened in 2009 as well, my body begins to shake. It was as if it was extremely cold (which is was when we were outside) but my body didn't stop shaking until later.
I know, another dumb user trying to depict their high (and poorly) and seeking advice. I know Weed isn't harmful, I enjoy doing it, but I'm kind of disappointed that my highs are so anti-social. I wish I could get a high where I eat and talk, or at least not space out entirely. I want to be able to be a social smoker, not someone who causes everyone else to worry about whether or not we need to make a trip to the hospital.
Lastly, on my highs, I'm often times very paranoid about some things, just though I'd throw that out there.
Any ideas or thoughts on this subject is much appreciated.
On a side note, do most of you use grinders? I'm just wondering if I'd need to get one to roll a joint, I've always seen people break it up with their fingers. Didn't want to ask this question elsewhere, I think I have your attention by now, so what's anther 10 seconds?
Thanks for the time and here's a very appropriate emote to my situation:
