To "get high" off of
something means to feel especially good after doing
something. That something might be algebra, some kind of drug, or perhaps a really good book. The high off of illegal
drugs, though, is synthetic and is NOT a good high, as it brings your mood straight down after you get this high.
You might laugh at the slightest thing or feel free of worry. It depends on the individual, really.
