Describing Different Highs

Back when I used to smoke up lots in highschool, I never really thought of what type of highs I was going through. But now when looking up write-ups on different strains on the internet, I notice a few common adjectives being throw around: body, cerebral, head, sleepy, etc.

Last night, I smoked up for the first time in months, maybe even over a year, with my gf. The stuff we had really knocked me on my ass and I didn't particularily enjoy it. I was shaking, cold (yet she said I was warm), my pulse was racing, and I was pretty anxious, at first. I didn't know if this was because I hadn't done it in a while, or because my body's tolerence to drugs/toxins has gone down so much (ie. the last few times I drank before I quit drinking, I felt like I had a fever and was burning up and had to put a wet washcloth on my forehead to sleep). After we layed down, I felt like I could barely move.

Then I got to thinking about how it could have to do with the particular strain we smoked as well. I'd heard people describe that you'll get a good "body stone" from whatever in the past but never knew what they meant.

So what does cerebral and body mean to you?

I would describe the stuff I smoked last night as cerebral because when I was high, basically the only thing left of me was my brain. It's like it went straight to my head and the rest of me was pretty much knocked out. But is that how others would describe a 'cerebral' high?

Thinking back on the whole 'body stone' thing, which I never understood, I can actually think back on times where I've felt what I would describe as a body stone. When this happens it's like my body is literally buzzing during the high. If I'm sitting down during the high, my face will feel like it is tingling or vibrating again, and during the very peak of it it'll feel almost like slow, mild pulses of wind on my face that are making my skin vibrate a bit every few minutes until I start to come down. For me this is the best type of high because it feels so good! Is this what others would call a body stone though?

Well also, you did not smoke in a long time....... what layed you out would only make me want another. And what would lay me out, would red light you (maybe).

Yes, different stuff acts different then the next stuff, some makes me laugh alot, some sends me off onto my art, but one thing to always remember, the stuff will never hurt you no matter how much you smoke at one time.
:eyesmoke:
All it is doing is getting your brain to start pumping out that stuff in your brain that comes out when you are happy...... something along those lines.

But all in all......... just have fun, and let it burn away the stress and ugly stuff.....peace :leaf:

Yeah, what you experienced sounds like a sativa effect.
You used the right words, like mind-racing, anxious, etc.
That's the cerebral, or head, effect from a sativa-leaning strain.
It makes your mind wander, daydream-like, and fantasize. And you come up with some really great ideas. World changing stuff.
It can make you shaky, or even keep you from sleeping.
I like to smoke those kinds in the daytime.

The indica-leaning strains are the more body stone. They make you want to kick back and stare, but with a smile on your face. That's why they are called couch-lock. Great for the evening when you are watching TV or listening to some music.

haha wanna hear this rediculous shit I thought of last friday? I went to bed because I just drove home.. there was no drinking or anything, boring friday.. But I smoked a lot and picked up a 6 gram sack of 'citrus bomb' it was legit, smelled like oranges, no joke, smelled like air freshner, but better because it was weed.. Anyways, I go home, smoke on my sack, I get about 3 bowls done by myself (I don't really ever do that much alone, but this stuff didn't hurt as bad as the last shit I bought 'blue dream' OUCH. that stuff hurt me bad..) Anyways! I lay down in my bed and I kept having like inventions run through my head, and I don't even know how this got dragged out, but I 'thought' I honestly think I could do it, if I just knew more, but there was a lot of inventions, and I just thought of lines of code that I learned back in my college programming classes, just basic, visual basic codes, but my invention was okay no homo but this is weird:

I hair color identifier! Okay, so you put your hair on this pad, and the pad reads your hair for its EXACT color, and then it sends its code to the rest of the machine, and it pretty much just puts your exact hair color as a number, in its database of millions of every possible color everywhere, and then when the number is read, it shows you your exact color, and tells you what it is, then you could go into a hair shop, and identify the hair color of yourself to get a customized hair dye or something.. LOL NO MORE GREY HAIR GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! Look younger the rest of your life. Don't steal my idea, if I am ever on the streets, this shit is going down!

I honestly knew how to do it I thought.. Of course I was too stoned to get up, hell I might have been sleeping! I dunno.. But it was insane. A lot of shit was insane that night.. I think part of the time I was asleep, because I honestly have never seen complex shapes and patterns on weed unless they were in my head, but I remember blacking out and then remembering how high I was and stuff and closing my eyes and actually seeing these really explodeful complex colors and designs, it reminded me of a circus. Lol

Ive only gotten one strain that has caused really intense physical reactions...my whole body went numb on that stuff...crazy shit.

The highs i typically experience are:

1 bowl every 1.5 hrs = Mild, which is heady, but with slight physical effects. A good all-around high...not too heavy or light.
1 bowl every 1.0 hrs = Heavy - Almost too intense, head hurts, and headaches can last for a few hrs.

Then theres the types:

Cerebral/narcotic - Slight head effects. Slight hallucinations and impairment. Somewhat energizing, but not uppity. Typically experienced with Sativas.

Sleepy/Couch-lock - Slight physical impairment. Motor skills, strength, endurance and energy are all reduced...sleep comes easily. Typical of Indicas.


The best effect ive ever experienced was from Lemon Kush. Which is a slightly sativa dominant strain...maybe 65/35 S/I. The effect was very clear and energetic, yet it was calm and relaxed. I was able to think clearly, and work steadily without getting side-tracked...Its a high you can work to.

Btw, if you havent seen/tried Lemon Kush...please do. The taste, smell, and effects are un-beatable.

I think my tolerance is too high for such reactions from smoking.... edibles however I've had reactions much more intense... to the point where if I shifted my vision even sliightly my whole world would spin and I'd have to throw up.....


but yeah I'm in the process of lowering my tolerance so I'll let you all know how that goes when I smoke again haha.
