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

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.
