I find that when High, I forget to breathe, and find it actually "pointless" to breathe. Could this be an effect of the Marijuana dilating my lungs? I read in Jason King's Cannabible that when your high, you breathe in much more oxygen then you normally would when sober...could anybody confirm this? So, anyways, when im high, why is it that I have to keep reminding myself to breathe, and that it is just so unnatural for me to breathe at an automatic subconscious pace? I just find it a bit frightening that is all. Can anybody relate to me as well?
Thanks for all of your help in advance

Ive never forgotten to breathe when im high, sometimes you may have to take deep breathes if your nervous or watching something trippy, but ive never been like oh man i should start breathing now

What happens if you forget to remind yourself to breathe?

You're just tripping yourself out over nothing. Trust me. Your body will breathe when it needs to without any conscious intervention on your part.

People get weird ideas when they're high!

Before I knew that it was pointless to hold in hits until you couldn't hold them any more, I used to find myself holding my breath a lot while high. It was just a carryover from my smoking technique. I worried about it for a while until I realized that breathing is handled by very primitive areas of the brain and conscious breath control is entirely optional: when your body need oxygen you'll breathe.

Also it's important to note that one of your nerves (the vagis nerve or something to that effect) won't allow you to actually suffocate yourself... your even if you stopped breathing that nerve would snap into effect and make you breathe before you blacked out or anything.

No... he probably can make himself pass out... I am sure. But the moment he passes out, he will breath freely! LOL!! Eitherway... problem is totally solved!

You're breathing... you've just noticed that you haven't noticed that you're breathing. Don't worry, its normal to not notice that you're breathing. Confused? Me too. I'm hungry.

two seconds have passes now... so I forgot. LOL!!

No seriously... think about it. Just_Be_Happy, man... think about this.. I would bet the farm that you wern't thinking about breathing as you were typing that post. You were more focued on typing your post... spelling the words, thinking of what to say (what's funny is you were even thinking about the topic of breathing... typing breathing words.....)yet... were you counting every breath??? For that moment... you were typing out the post.... getting ready to click the send button... How many breaths?

You don't know! @#%@# Because you weren't thinking about it!!! LOL!!! All you need is a T.V. and funniest home videos! Seriously... you just need something fun! BTW.... what do you do when you are high? It might be a problem to get high and have nothing to situmate your mind. Heck, high or not... put me in a silent room where all I can hear is my freaking heart beating.... "oh, crap... it missed a beat!" Point is the mind is a very powerful thing... like 6% is all we use... but the other 94% still functions... we just don't conceive of it... now, you go mixing weed and having absolutely nothing to do.... then yeah... I would say it could be likely that your mind might be playing games.... but merely because your mind is just trying to amuse itself... because I am guessing that you are not doing anything for it! It has no choice.... and what's better than a scare??? Everyone like to watch some one get scared! Why else to people like horror movies and haloween? People get a kick out of it.... well, the mind gets kicks out of it too.... and the mind has the perfect person to play the trick on.... YOU! LOL!!!

Just say

sit down

watch something on T.V.

either that... or more practice may need needed in holding your breath.
