Reading While High?

  1. I was just wondering if anybody ever decides to read books or magazines while they're high. I took a Modern Drummer magazine and read an interview once, it was really neat, you find good ways to immerse yourself into the text! Give it a try sometime, if you never have.
     
  2. I never read books while I'm stoned, just can't do it. I do read magazines tho.
     
  3. Ya, I agree it's very fun, but it takes a lot of concentration. If you find a good book you can really imagine what's going on... it's quite interesting.
     
  4. I always read when I'm stoned. I smoke a bowl everynight before bed and when I can't just pass out, I read books or get on the internet. Haha... I love reading while I'm stoned 'cuz I understand everything like, completely.
     
  5. For some reason when im high i cannot read books... i guess i just dont want to focus on it, or I just find it boring...
     
  6. I find it to hard to concentrate. By the time i finish reading the bottom of a page, i'll have forgotten what happened at the top of it.
     
  7. I love to read whle stoned, except i ALWAYS read the same line over again i just cant go down in lines.
     
  8. yea i love reading but ever since i started smoking i cant read books much or i just dont feel like it. I just cant concentrate that good on a solid wall of text. Interesting mags are good though :D
     
  9. Last book I read stoned was 2001 Space Odyssey.

    It was mind-bending.
     

  10. LOL

    Yea any time i read a magazine or somthing totally baked i tend to drift off of the words and totally stop reading without knowing it.....and start thinking too much hagha
     
  11. i always read shit on this forum when im high lol
     
  12. cant concentrate for shit while high, so obviously no reading but I wonder what i'd be like to read an interesting fiction novel...
     
  13. I had to read brave new world for school this year and its a sick as hell book. even better when your baked
     
  14. It really depends on what I'm trying to read. I'm not trying to read "War and Peace" baked.

  15. I read willie nelson book "The Tao of Willie" while i was high. His views on cannabis are pretty cool. He said if a doctor tells him to stop smoking pot he changes doctors, Good man.:smoking:
     
  16. I love reading while I'm high. Anything by William S. Burroughs is amazing, a quarter ounce of pot really helped me finish naked-lunch in about a week.

    Stephen King, Dean Koontz, contemp fiction is nice once in a while, i use to read a book a week... havent read anything by them in a while.

    Bret Easton Ellis, I loved Glamorama. I was drinking heavily while I read his novels though... I would play a game by drinking a glass of j&b everytime Patrick Bateman in American Psycho drank one.
     
  17. Reading is the shit when high :smoking:
     
  18. I wanna start reading some good interesting books, something that can keep my attention..

    If i could get a book like Fear And Loathing, thatd be sick..any book about drugs i wanna read haha.
     
  19. i love reading. espeically when im high. i enjoy doing things alot more when im high. i just hate bein sobar.
     

  20. Brave New World is an awesome book. Pretty mind blowing.

    Right now I'm reading The Illuminatus Trilogy which is highly recommended. Trippy as fuck all about breaking down of reality and a huge world conspiracy. Really hard to explain but if you like to read check it out.

    Oh and on a side note Fear and Loathing is a great book and movie but it's not about drugs dude. It's about the American Dream and the end of the great but faulted acid generation
