as dedbr mentioned i usually use ''i'm straight''. i really never accociate "sober" with marijuana, my connotation with that word is more towards alcohol. maybe we should all just smoke all the time, so we won't have to come up with a word?

 

Alive-And-Dreaming

If anyone asks me if i'm high i usually say "I'm straight." and one time I was high and someone asked me if I was straight, and I was like: "Uh, naw, I'm diagonal...heh".

I just say 'I'm straight.' And no, we do not consider that in regards to sexuality because I know that's what you all were thinking. It means I am straight to drive, straight to function, straight and not trippin' balls.

 

ITG

I just use sober... because it's correct.

Its not correct, if anything its a description of being high.

(insert definition)
Main Entry:1so·ber Etymology:Middle English sobre, from Anglo-French, from Latin sobrius; akin to Latin ebrius drunk 1 a: sparing in the use of food and drink : abstemious b: not addicted to intoxicating drink c: not drunk

3: unhurried, calm
4: marked by temperance, moderation, or seriousness <a sober candlelight vigil>
5: subdued in tone or color
6: showing no excessive or extreme qualities of fancy, emotion, or prejudice

I was thinking the same thing that spiral said, " Unstoned' sounds like being stoned is your 'natural state of existence',,,". This is all going to require some thought. I havent come up with anything new yet.

ITG

That's odd, because that definition is in the minority...

from Webster's II Collegiate Dictionary:

Sober: 1. Habitually abstemious in the use of liquor: TEMPERATE. 2. Not intoxicated 3. Straightforward: serious. 4. Plain or subdued. 5. Devoid of frivolity, exaggeration, or speculative imagination.

For reference, Intoxicate, from the same source:

Intoxicate: 1. To bring about, esp. by the effect of ingested alcohol,any of a series of progressively deteriorating states ranging from exhiliration to stupefaction. 2. To excite or stimulate. 3. To poison.

You will notice, with the inclusion of esp., it also means "not only alcohol."

And since we are after all part of an informal community, the top definition from urbandictionary.com, at 374 thumbs up to 25 down (number two is 119 up and 71 down):

A state in which you are not under the influence of any intoxicating substance.
When you aren't drunk, stoned, or tripping.

Historically and properly, sober refers to the absence of any intoxicating state. And therefore is proper. (don't forget, alcohol is also technically a drug- it only gets considered differently by lay people because it is so much more widespread)

You shouldn't go by dictionary definitions. Remember, all writers are propagandists
