What does smoking pot feel like?

Answer 1

First it starts with a tingling. Then your feet catch on fire, starting with your toenails. The you dissolve into laughter while singing Puff the Magic Dragon uncontrollably.

No but seriously...it feels like your eyelids are heavy and you're a little spacey like you just woke up but you feel great. And calm.

Answer 2

Well, your experience (at least in my case) is heavily influenced by your smoking environment. The best way I can think to describe it is to say that it amplifies your surroundings. If you smoke alone or with a close friend then marijuana can be a very intimite and comforting experience. However, if you end up smoking with someone that you don't wish to smoke with, or you get high in a place where you feel unfimiliar or uncomfortable, then it may become quite stressful and even perhaps frightening at times. This is where I believe the claims of marijuana causing paranoia originate. It can intensify uncomfortable situations and be unpleasant, but simply choosing a comfortable setting, even preparing beforehand with music, insence, and a comfortable chair or bed to relax on can keep that from occuring. If you are in the right state of mind and circumstance, marijuana can give you much insight and you can learn a lot about life. Some of the best times of my life were spent high, and a couple bad ones too, but I love it and have much respect for the herb.
