Hey, Every time I get high I honestly experience a profound "trip" that teaches me something. They're normally fraught with anxiety initially, but after I ride out the first 45 mins (which comes with breathing issues/intense derealization), I enter a thought loop and one particular idea/concept will come to me in a very lucid way. Last thing I came up with = "when you're sober, your negative thoughts are directly above you in a cloud, and they're mixed in with all your positive thoughts. You can't leave your earthly position, so you remain engaged with reality at all times and don't get "carried away" into your thoughts and dreams (you're sober, after all). If you think about something positive, you're forced to be realistic and see the negative thoughts too, because all your thoughts are amalgamated in the cloud". When you're high, you're still in the same, grounded position, but your positive thoughts are to your left on the floor with you and your negative thoughts are to your right. <span class="redactor-invisible-space">This means that all thoughts are more accessible when you're high (they're the same ground level as you), and you can focus on them in a clearer, more detailed way because they're separated<span class="redactor-invisible-space">. BUT this also means that negative thoughts can seem worse than they do when you're sober. Getting caught up in a negative loop when high just means you've entered the "negative thoughts" area, and you've gone further away from your positive thoughts. More commonly, <span class="redactor-invisible-space">being euphoric when high and not thinking about anything bad means that you've entered the positive section (think a little stick figure literally walking to the left<span class="redactor-invisible-space">).</span></span></span></span> <span class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space"> </span></span></span></span> <span class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space"><span class="redactor-invisible-space">I know people think about deep stuff when they're high, but each weed experience gives me one <span class="redactor-invisible-space">idea like the above, that makes so much sense when I'm sober.
