After inhaling the cannabis, you will feel somewhat fuzzy, like your body is outlined with a tingly sensation. Once this occurs you know you are only beginning to feel the high. After many more tokes, you will say to yourself: "Yes, I am getting higher and higher." When it all sets in and you've become "stoned" your eyes begin to become squinty and dry. The world now, may look like a skipping movie, or it may seem as if you are watching your own life on television. When someone's talking it is also normal to actually hear the words 2-3 seconds after they have said it. Eventually you may think of random funny moments in your life, and begin to laugh out loud for an unnecessary amount of time. And of course the people your with will say, "haha your really high aren't you?" And you think yes, yes i am (but you just laugh instead of saying yes). The conversations that you hear when you are high will have much more meaning than when you are sober and maybe even a little confusing. If you think of a story to tell and forget what you were going to say to everyone don't be surprised- for everyone has surely done this. Once you forget you will try to remember your story for about 15 minutes (or 1 minute but it'll seem like 15) and you'll realize that it is honestly impossible to recall it from your memory at the moment. So, instead, you continue watching TV. When you are watching TV or video games ect, it may be too much to bare. Two minute commercials will last about 10 minutes each in the state that you are in. And during video games your eyeballs are too slow to follow the people running/fighting. When you are high, I've experienced anyways that you talk to yourself in your head a lot more. You may be talking to yourself and realize how stupid your thoughts and comments are, and thank yourself that you didn't say any of that shit out loud. Tripping, and a loss of coordination is also a side effect. You may experience jerkier movements. "The munchies" is the best side effect. During this stage I believe that your stomach goes numb because no matter how much you eat it seems to never get enough. Your mouth begins to water and every bite tastes like the first and everything you eat seems five times better. It seems like you're not eating that much at the time, but when you think back, you ate a lot! Then eventually you say alright that's enough food I guess I don't want to weigh 400 lbs tomorrow. Usually after the eating stage, you will begin to feel tired or your eyelids feel as if they weigh 5 pounds each and you absolutely must close them. Yes, if feels so good! Once this happens you are down for the count, and will eventually pass out and you will have the best sleep of your life.

a feeling of euphoria. It's hard to explain, but basically they best feeling you will ever have. You feel nothing, but goodness. You're not cold or hot or uncomfortable in any way, it is just pure happiness, you feel no pain just a rush. It takes a lot longer to do something and you move really slow but it feels as if things are happening at a faster rate. You rap hella well and laugh hysterically at everything, it seems almost as if you're not really breathing. Something you say seems so thoughtful and deep but really its just meaningless stoner talk. Everything is beautiful and smiling at you. feel like a straw, as if water or some substance is rushing through your entire body and your spinning but it doesn't make you sick you feel like you're twitching but in reality you're not. People laugh at you, however you don't care because you're not actually there. Spend all morning rolling, so you can smoke later. ledge. being in a hella sketch place and just lighting up, not caring about anything, peer pressuring people into it, talking about everything and anything. your smoking instruments are you're babies.you make new friends. you never want to stop, you feel as weed is all you need. you wake up the next day still blazed out of your mind but feel the need to wake and back, and finally, every Kottonmouth Kings, Slightly Stoopid and Expendables song narrates you're fucking lifeeeeeeeee.
Saying things like
"hence the word, french fry"
"weed actually makes you smarter, the brain cells cancel out"
"i want to stop but they wont let me they will get mad"
"holy shit is that my dog?@ CHESTERRRR !@ COME HERE"
"okay lets leave in an hour?"
"wanna smoke another bowl first?"
"fuck yeah"
tokeeeeeeeee
"fuck we gotta go!"
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS BEEEN THREEEE MINUTES"
high ass mother fucker
"hence the word, french fry"
"weed actually makes you smarter, the brain cells cancel out"
"i want to stop but they wont let me they will get mad"
"holy shit is that my dog?@ CHESTERRRR !@ COME HERE"
"okay lets leave in an hour?"
"wanna smoke another bowl first?"
"fuck yeah"
tokeeeeeeeee
"fuck we gotta go!"
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS BEEEN THREEEE MINUTES"

Many a time I have found myself trying to describe what being high is like. In all honesty there cannot really be a single definition of this state of being, seeing as almost every different high (at least for me) seems to play out somewhat different. My best explanation is : Being high is a state of being when all the tension in all your muscles is relieved and you have ultimate relaxation. You will most likely start to space out for what seems like forever and then instantly realize how disconnected you are. At this point you then turn to your friend and tell them what you just told them and they will reply, "DUDE I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN!" or they will stare at you blakly for a few seconds and then start to laugh their ass off. Then comes the uncontrollable laughing fits at almost nothing or at nothing itself. All music you hear will sound like the clearest and best quality music you have ever heard. Also, when you watch movies you get sort of a tunnel vision and it seems like you're in a movie theater. Another thing is that just your normal vision will seem like the quality has shot way up and even the difference in color of leaves in fall will make you be completely and utterly in bliss with how beautiful every thing is. Also some may feel a heightened sexual arousal. You may find that you will be telling stories that are not relevant at all. To sum up, being high is a very relaxing, fun, safe way to have fun and just appreciate life more.

It's all about feeling good, feeling chill. Simply breathing and feeling a smile come on simply because you're content. Looking around and seeing the good. Bad doesn't exist. Just joy. Just laughter. Pure elation. Satisfaction over life. No worries. Pureness and wholesomeness. The people you see, the music you hear, the things you touch are of better quality. Everything is lovely. You have peace. You have to be there. I love going.

The feeling (or rather, multitude of feelings) that comes on after smoking weed. The sensations you feel when you're high are hard to describe, but I'll try to tackle each one individually since it's such a wonderful thing that everyone should experience at some point. Keep in mind that these descriptions are based only on my personal experiences (and possibly some I've heard from friends). The high varies from person to person but it's pretty much always enjoyable.
Positive Effects
1. The euphoria. In my mind, euphoria doesn't really describe being high since if you've never gotten high you don't really know what people mean by euphoria. My first time experiencing euphoria (wasn't actually my first time smoking weed) was one of the best moments of my life. I had already smoked a shitload of weed, gone for a long walk with some friends, and returned to a friends house. I was crashing and decided to smoke some more. Lying on my friend's couch, I suddenly had this overwhelming feeling of bliss. For no particular reason, I just muttered over and over again - "I feel soooo good right now."
2. Deep/introspective thinking. While the experience is different for everyone, I wouldn't go so far as to say I think deeply, philosophically, or introspectively while I'm high. Rather, when I start to think, I go into a sort of trance where I know what's going on around me, but I don't exactly process any of it. I am completely focused on my thoughts. I guess it's almost like tripping. If you ever get an experience like this, immediately listen to Phish.
3. Increased appreciation for music and senses in general. Depending on the setting, type of weed, and the music, the appreciation you feel can differ, but it's always awesome. Sometimes, you simply recognize the skill and talent required to compose the music you're listening to. Other times, you sort of twitch and move to the music unconsciously until it sort of feels like you're part of the music. When you start doing that weird, amazing thinking I described, listening to a good band can take you into a dreamworld. This is really indescribable, partly because it's such a foreign feeling and partly because you probably won't remember most of this experience once you sober up. Other senses are also more sensitive when high - touch, smell, taste. One interesting note - busting a nut while high is a great feeling.
4. Laughter. When you're high, things are just generally funnier. However, a specific sort of humor (which may vary depending on person) usually makes you just completely laugh uncontrollably. When high, some things are just so ridiculous, you find them absolutely hysterical. I suggest watching Aqua Teen Hunger Force while high - it's frickin' awesome, especially the Dickesode.
5. Relaxation. Sometimes, weed will not relax you but just make you experience the above effects intensely. However, many strains of marijuana sort of make you relax. This is because when you're high, you often get this feeling that if you stand up, some invisible force pulls you back down, forcing you to sit or lie down. Once down again, it feels like your body is melting into the surface on which you're resting. It's pretty neat.
6. Other. Even when they're not high, many stoners simply enjoy life more. After experiencing a really good high, you will generally just appreciate the beauty of the world more profoundly. This might not happen very often for all I know, but it has happened to me.
Neutral Effects
1. The munchies. The severity of the hunger you feel while high varies from person to person. For me, it's almost intolerable, almost painful. The munchies are weird because the hunger you feel is not normal. You feel incredibly empty and the thought of eating seems wonderful to you, even if you've already eaten. Furthermore, when you're high, food tastes REALLY good. I suggest chicken wings and/or Double Stuf Oreos. I also advise drinking carbonated drinks when you're REALLY stoned as the feeling of little bubbles exploding in your mouth is incredible.
2. Bloodshot eyes. The severity of this symptom varies, but usually your eyes just get really red. The only downside to this is that it makes it pretty easy to tell whether or not someone is high. In addition, your eyelids just sort of refuse to open fully sometimes.
3. Slowness. This is partly a result of the relaxation. Since you always feel like you're being pulled down, moving is hard and takes concentration sometimes.
4. Drymouth. Smoking weed makes your mouth really dry. It's not dangerous, but if you're inexperienced or the high is intense, you might think that your throat is closing up even if it's not. Just drink something - it'll calm you down and taste delicious.
5. Hallucinations. This has never happened to me, so I can't really comment, but you probably need to eat cannabis to get this effect and, even then, I think it's still pretty rare. Don't expect to trip balls (like with lsd) or anything though, even if you do hallucinate.
6. Altered sense of time. While high, time usually seems to slow down. Although this is listed as a neutral effect, it could be considered positive since it makes the high seems like it's lasting longer than it really is.
7. Short-term memory loss. Although this may seem like a bad thing, it only lasts for a little while, maybe even not lasting through the whole high. It can also be kinda cool since when you forget what you were talking about sometimes you see cool visuals in your head of the thought flying away or something (that always happens to me).
Negative Effects
Although being high is amazing, there are occasionally negative effects. None of these are too bad, but they're unpleasant nonetheless.
1. Anxiety. This is the most common negative effect of marijuana. Anxiety can occur as a result of inexperience, too much experience, bad weed, or a poor setting. Basically, you just feel really nervous and anxious, but this always passes if you move into a more comfortable setting. Never get high alone at night - it's pathetic and scary.
2. Paranoia. This is usually the result of the anxiety, but oftentimes, you may find that you believe everyone is watching you or that you have a spy. This feeling will pass so long as you are with friends if you just relax and think about pleasant things.
3. Other. There are other negative effects, but none of them are very serious at all and usually appear far worse if you experience the anxiety of paranoia mentioned above.
4. Crashing. The high from marijuana only lasts a few hours (although it may seem like longer) and the come-down can be quick to appear. After the high completely wears off, you may feel pretty groggy for a few hours. This will pass, though.
5. Long-term effects. The long-term negative effects of smoking marijuana are pretty much the same as with any other substance that you smoke - lung damage. However, it's possible that long-term use may also impair your memory. The study that weed causes schizophrenia, however, is mostly bullshit (unless you've got a history of it in your family).
Overall, I would say that being high is usually a pretty magical experience. I recommend weed to anyone in high school or older.

it's hard to describe but i'll try. when you first feel the high you will fell very warm. you'll probly want to sit down and will stare at random things for no reason. its hard to talk without laughing. when your high you can't tell if your in reality or a dream. you feel like you are watching yourself through a screen. you will remember things that seem random at the time.you are aware of the fact that your high. when you move your body parts you feel like your floating and every movement make an incredible feeling thats hard to describe. its feels like 10,000 ant crawling around your skin but it does'nt hurt. it feels good. so when im high i will walk around alot and make random movements. eating is amazing. for me, when i chew food its make a sensation that move from my jaw to my skull that feels amazing. when you listen to music, you can hear every instrument and not even listen. your attention will focus on many things as well as you could sober. ameteur smokers will cough alot and want to run cold water in there mouths. so bascilly just get some bud and smoke 2 joints in morning smoke to joints in the evening
