  2. I do. My problem is that I'm surrounded by great technology - I've got an expensive computer, stereo, and TV, and I get lost to easily sitting in front of it all.

    I once ate a pot brownie on a long bus ride and read the entire book "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. It was fantastic. I learned a ton about being a dad just from that.

    I think if I could isolate myself from all this technology, I'd read books high a lot more.

  3. Dude, I feel the same way. I deleted all the social network sites I used (twitter, Facebook shit like that) and stopped watching TV so much. I'm telling you man its the best decision I've made in a while. I read so much more now, and TV and shit like that is really really boring to me now. :D


    Oh and reading books high is great, the only downfall is my imagination runs wild and i'll end up thinking about a page I just read instead of continuing on with the book lol

  4. I've been considering this a lot man! Do you feel any different mentally, like it's one thing less you have to keep track of?
     
  5. DUDE yeah! haha I have not regretted it at all. Once I stopped I realized how much of a slave we all are to shit like that. Now I'm not constantly checking my phone and reading about shit that I could seriously give two fucks about. I'm off the grid :D But yeah mentally too, I feel like I can think more straight since I'm not always looking at a screen, eyesight has actually improved as well. (might be all in my head, but it's definitely improved my well being)

  6. Good for you man, that shits destroying peoples social lives of all ages.


    But yes, reading books baked is a experience in it self. It makes the book more enjoyable and easier to understand it seems. Reading the LOTR Trilogy right now.

    I have a ton of threads I just threw up, but this ties heavily into it. I'm 24 I stopped watching TV 5 years ago, cold turkey... MAN am I lucky I did that.... I have always been a reader... but in the last few years I have read so much... which of course i'm always baked.... so yes I read high all the time... in fact I am much more intelligent while I am high, I am more loving, I am more animated, I am more ... hmm everything...hittin my bong now of some nice Green Crack sativa :D

    Only problem is when I smoke Indica... I sometimes drift off with my imagination...which is w/e... most of the shit in my head is WAY better than we sorry slaves got it here.

    The more people that get off that "DAILY PROGRAMMING" and stop reading the stupid fucking controlled media...start learning from loving individuals who care for the well being of all.

    LOTR trilogy is what got me into reading YO...Hobbit back in elementary school... then the harry potters..actually I think Goosebumps were my first books....
     
  8. Reading while high is one of the most engaging things to do after a nice bowl and you also feel good afterwards because you actually used your brain instead of mindlessly watching tv
     
  9. Reading books is hard for me when I'm high because usually i'm thinking about my own stuff. but on the comedown reading is great. i can read a whole book sometimes.
     
  10. I'd agree with this. If your really high it is difficult to keep your concentration on reading a book, but the mild high or come down period is the best.
     
  11. I absolutely LOVE reading when I'm baked!

    Reading = 10x better than movies. :)
     
  12. i can appreciate the more intricate details and descriptions of actions, characters, and settings when I blaze before I read.
     
  13. I have an audiobook subscription, and I listen to books in the car. I drive about an hour every day, sometimes more if I have to go to work and school in the same day, so I can get a good bit of reading done during the day.

    Since I've started smoking again my routine has changed quite a bit, I get high and play Final Fantasy X for a couple of hours, and then I decide between watching a nature show on netflix or listening to my book. I usually choose my book, and put it on sleep timer.

    I find that I fall asleep 30 minutes later, and have to rewind my book a little bit. I feel comfortable with this because it is the 4th time I'm reading Pride and Prejudice. Who knows how I will feel when I'm reading a sadder book, like Mice and Men.
     
  14. I usually just reread the same sentence for two hours.....
     
  15. The narrator in my head is a lot more enthusiastic about the reading when I'm stoned.
    I also feel its easier to immerse myself into the world I'm trying to read about with a little help from Mary.
     
  16. One of my favorite routines when smoking alone is to smoke a big bowl by myself near a serene place in this park area and then drive to Starbucks, grab a drank, and read outside. It's become one of my favorite high actives. Right up there with music and hanging with friends.

  17. I love reading when I'm high, especially books on philosophy because I always have a better understanding when I'm high.

  20. one of my favorite things to do.
