Although, colors seem brighter when I've smoked up
|
||
|
|
pretty much, the most peculiar effect I experience however, is
|
||
|
|
that the 'meaning' of things/events (semantics) seems to alter
|
||
|
|
significantly. Observed events (or thoughts) have an
|
||
|
|
(emotional/rational) impact upon the subject (completely)
|
||
|
|
different from normal perception.
|
||
|
|
Let me clarify this with an example; when I normally (that
|
||
|
|
is, not high on pot) watch the News on TV and hear about
|
||
|
|
some particular event. I tend to think something like, oh...
|
||
|
|
well, ok this or that happened, there's nothing I can do about
|
||
|
|
it, it's (probably) not gonna effect my life, so in a way
|
||
|
|
most 'news' is viewed upon merely as (informative) amusement.
|
||
|
|
When high on pot however, most events described in the news
|
||
|
|
typically seem to have much more relevancy to me, in general
|
||
|
|
implicational strucures (if then) which have a scope that
|
||
|
|
ranges beyond me, are realized to an extend I donot experience
|
||
|
|
sober. It's quite hard to explain the actual process. I'll just
|
||
|
|
give a specific example of an implicational strucure as
|
||
|
|
experienced high on pot: suppose darwin was right about
|
||
|
|
evolution, then a typical implication is that EVERY animal (plant)
|
||
|
|
on this planet (including you), has a common ancestor with ME.
|
||
|
|
Okay, hell you say, SO WHAT??? Well, nothing (at least, not
|
||
|
|
necesseraly), but when I'm high, these kinds of realizations
|
||
|
|
(can) have a very big impact on me (or in other words; they
|
||
|
|
seem very relevant).
