The above statement is totally true. People just don`t understand about getting high. It`s not that we are "stoners" or all we think about is getting high. It`s an altered state of mind, it`s a life amplifier, it`s the entrance into the deep mind. I`ve never appreciated things as much as I have when I`m high. People don`t understand because they label smoking pot with being stupid, being anti-social, and being a loser at life. That is a very wrong view of getting high. The weed smoker sees marijuana as a plant of love, relaxation, stress relief, and an emotion releaser. Getting high lets you have fun without worrying about anything else, without a physical addiction, without a chance of overdose, without thinking about that report due for work next week. The marijuana smoker is most often a much more laid back person; they are calmer than non-smokers. Once the consumer of marijuana becomes high, they reach a state of Utopia. They are in a world that is more about recreation than work; they are in a world with laughter, joy, and a world without senseless violence.
Being high can also cause a state of paranoia, in which the smoker thinks much deeper into problems. While in this state of paranoia the smoker tends to look at all possible outcomes of actions, which is good. This type of high is what some refer to as the "artistic high." Many artist who use marijuana to enhance creative thought often have a high filled with paranoia. This type of high makes the blazer less likely to do criminal actions while high. If someone is plotting some illegal action, when they get high they think about everything that can happen.
Most highs are a mixture of everything, from paranoia, all the way to uncontrollable laughter. Getting high to some is a way of life, and getting high to others is only on social occasions. Marijuana is a very good social icebreaker, much like alcohol. While marijuana does not cause some users to become violent like alcohol, it does cause the user to become more social with people. Individuals who use marijuana tend to be more outgoing and willing to try new things. They like to attempt everything life has to offer.
Now that I`ve attempted to get my reader to understand why people get high, I will aim to enlighten my readers with my thoughts and opinions on MANDITORY REHABILITATION on my next rant.
