Is it normal to feel more like yourself when you're high?

Yes I know exactly what you are talking about. You know I think it was Bob Marley that said "When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself". When I get high I feel like I have gained a better understanding of life and who I am so once I feel this way I think that being high is a better way to experience life. When I'm stoned I also feel that life is just overall better and I feel great mentally, physically(unless I'm tired as hell), and even spiritually in a way. While probably a bunch of people would agree with me on this a lot choose not to smoke all the time because they feel that it would mess up their lives and is not worth it. Even though they make this decision they still know that being high is a great feeling. So yes it is normal when I'm sober I feel like I'm dazed but when I'm high I feel smarter and more at ease.

For how much weed u smoke you should definately show symptoms of withdrawl when u stop for longer than normal. Weed is mentally AND physically adictive which a lot of people don't realize. It slowly leaves your system unlike a drug like heroin so the withdrawl symptoms are much less noticable and take place over a longer period of time.

It's normal for the ammount of weed you smoke. I use to work with a kid that tripped on acid the way you do weed, legit 24/7...his body and mind got use to it in his system, just like any addiction or positive reinforcement situations when your body gets use to it I "needs" it to balance itself out.

For the record. Pretty sure acid is non addicting same way weed isn't, but anything can be if you do it enough. So I'd try and calm down with the ammount you have, and try and be yourself without it.

it (I dont know why it cut off lol) then who cares what other people think about your lifestyle. live a fulfilling life full of love and peace...however you may live it. <3. sorry this comment is so long, I just really understand what you mean. something random, when I did acid i would become so depressed because of the knowledge that I was not going to feel like this for more then a few hours. I need to learn to see life as that beautiful all the time, that is my goal. :) people think what they want, and who really gives a shit, but your opinion of you matters. listen to yourself and you will find out if this is how you should live or not. I hope this helps. <3. peace.

i don't want to say that it is normal because that is not the way were made to live our lives, but as someone that has absolutely been in your shoes, what you are feeling is completely understandable and relatable. trust. the fact that you are asking in the first place leads me to believe that you are starting to feel a little uneasyness about this lifestyle. if that's not the case, cool, just BE YOU and live the most fulfilling life you can however you want to do that. but if there are reservations, I suggest that you take a good look inside yourself (probably better if you do this high anyway lol) and see what it is you are avoiding/masking/numbing/scared of and what not. even if it is something like the fear of giving it up and having to live just like everybody else. (oooooh man, that was a hard one for me to get past, took me a while to even realize) I have been sober for a little over a year because this is the way I need to live in order to achieve the things I want to achieve and the way to be happy without all that guilt. if that's not how you feel then great. my lifestyle isnt for everyone just like yours isn't. if you are keeping yourself out of trouble and not hurting others because of

Im kinda like that, but with drinking.

Wow, people are pretty harsh with the harshness here. We all have our psychological addictions or bad habits or quirks. And you cant have withdraw from weed... XD you feel less tired and less hungry if you're used to smoking and you aren't cus those are side effects of smoking weed, not because you're addicted. :p

It's normal, a lot of people are like that, but you may wanna consider taking a detox break. Ive done so recently and my weed lasts a lot longer now that I'm only smoking once or twice a day. :) plus it's good to enjoy things sober as well as stoned, that way you're not going crazy when you can't find it.

I know most people who smoke don't see it as a drug and I mean I can see why... It's not dirty its not meth you can't put it in a syringe but it is ultimately a drug and no matter what drug your using every drug will lead you in the same place which is on the fucking bottom. Shit will always hit the fan when you live a lifestyle that involves drug use. In your case you've become as addicted to weed as some crackhead selling her body leaving all her loved ones just so she can stick a fuckin needle in her neck.

Saying that you don't feel like you when your not high is saying alot. I mean obviously you would feel different after not smoking but I you don't even like yourself when your not high and can't partake in daily functions like eating and socializing well try to chill out for a little bit. Do an experiment on yourself see who you really are without it and hey if you find you really don't like life without it then smoke away just don't let in interfere with your life and normal human functions. Ahhh idk im all bummed over here cause my boyfriend is like this too. But do as you will. You know what you need to pull through.

Thanks al2424 nice to hear someone who knows exactly what I mean! You nailed it.

Word that's what I'm sayin, it doesn't affect me, if anything I'm more enthused to go out and do stuff

I don't see anything wrong with it unless it's keepin u away from ur priorities...personally I smoke everyday a the only thing is it gets pretty costly....weed or toiletpaper hmmm?lol

it makes sense for you to feel like that because it releases your inhibitions. you dont feel like you have to hide who you are or only say what your supposed to. but your obviously addicted - not good.

You say getting high has only brought positivity, but this problem doesn't sound positivel. I used to be the same exact way. I smoked 24/7 for 3 years. When I stopped depending on pot it went away. The reason you can't sleep is because you've always slept with the aide of pot, so your body doesn't know how to sleep on it's own. That's not normal. Take some Melatonin (get it at any drug store) and quit smoking now. Otherwise this will be your whole life.

I feel what ur saying but i Mean if u like smoking pot then do it I mean seriously it's not gonna kill you and obvisiouly puts u in to a good mood so do what you love.

that's not right..

Oh and the anxiety gets better, but j always have a feelig like I shoul be doing something I'm not doing

Wow guys so negative :P

Appreciate the feedback, all good points.

But here's my thing, it's seems similar to like women trappe in guys bodies, thy don't feel right in there own skin.

Maybe I'm just suppose to be high, OH, and by the way, I'm not bragging AT ALL. This is a legitimit concern I've been pondering, and this app wa perfect.

The most I've gone without in the recent past was 2 weeks, and it wasn't too bad, symptoms described up top subside after 3-4 days. Except the not sleeping. And not being able to make meaningless smalltalk with any signs of interest. I get my appetite back, mostly.

Wow this is definatly not normal. This is very unhealthy.

Pot head

Well I started smoking when I was 13 but I only do it maby once a week but I get what u mean you can be more open but it is normal to smoke every day however most ppl can function normally even if they stop for a day...I'm kinda amazed u can still get high

Addicted (NOT NORMAL!)

That's hard I think it's not normal for you to smoke that much for so long! Maybe Its time to see a doctor or go dry for good.

Wow. No, don't think that's normal. It sounds like you have issues personally and you hide behind weed. That is not the real you, it's the you on weed. That is NOT healthy. You are hurting yourself mentally and physically. Think you need to start thinking about getting off of it and learn to be just you. Remember most of the time nothing worth while is easy!

I smoke daily myself and have forever. That first high of the day is still the best though and sometimes a good wake n bake just sends me back to bed instead of work so I tend to avoid that during the week. :)

I think so. because you can be more open when you're high. I know exactly how you feel!

Definitely not normal. It's simple: you are just so dependent on it that u can't function without it. Just need to force yourself to come off of it. Not healthy at all !!! I dated someone like that for 2 years and it became unbearable.

A substance should never be a permanent part of someone's life. I think it's time for rehab or something.

Dude maybe its time for na god bless

Yes

Thier is a simple awnser to this, it is becuase your body proboly has adjusted to the drug/narcotic and so the only time you feel normol is when you have the drug, this is a very bad sign becuase this means now you may never be able to quit becuase thier is now a certien chemical in your body , that your body has replaced with the drug itself and soon you will have to take more to keep the effect and it will get gradually worse . Are you fuctioning when your high becuase that is a bad sign too ".

I'm absolutely all for smokin. But you have developed a sort of... dependancy on it. Which of course is not good. I know what your goin through because the EXACT same thing happened to my best friend. All you need to do is quit smoking so much, you'll be fine.

You take considerable pride in a nothing accomplishment - and no-brainer "issue" - do you expect people to applaud "oh wow he's baked all the time."???

Its all pretty juvenile, a waste of money, time and life - not to mention pot.

What it says is you really have nothing much going for yourself and I just think that is sad.

Thanks for the input ;)
