Do you feel like it's possible to accurately imagine or even describe what it's like to be high when you aren't? Every single time I get high, the experience always sort of, surprises(?) me, as being so drastically different from what I might have anticipated. It's always such a paradigm shift in how I experience my Self and my place in the "universe." (Currently at a 5.)

I think people put way too much pressure on themselves to "get high" and then end up having bad experiences. Cannabis is best enjoyed in moderation as a nice seasoning to your experience. It's the difference between having a glass of wine or a beer and getting falling down drunk. I don't think you should try it again if you don't want to but others are reading this please just try having a small amount and enjoying a very mild buzz.

I enjoy a few hits a couple times per week. Gives me a very mild buzz and helps me sleep better. I have no desire to get high.

I misunderstood that your normal experience was the bad one and that you had given it up (which is fine with me!). Thanks for helping me understand
