im pretty intelligent, senior in highschool, 4.0 in AP and honors, ive been smoking for maybe a year, a little less probably, and have found my tolerance point and been smoking about an eighth a week. i feel like i can do everything and more when im high then when im sober. i can approach problems with more enthusiasm and more creativity and it helps me understand why things are the way they are. i love to learn about evolution and math and string theory and quantum mechanics, anything really. its just like a constant mind orgasm when im high and learning and i retain pretty much all of it.

i have never really been interested in math, but one day i just sat around thinking about pi and other math constants and just about the nature of math. it makes so much sense to me when thinking about it high, like i understand the nature of the universe and its mathematical properties.

is it normal for your mind to be expanded so much where you can just discover the meaning of life and existence in one session and have that last in your mind set forever?

is it normal to have a mind orgasm over life and the complexities of it? the mechanics of it?

its late and im rambling, where im getting is that i think weed has greatly increased my intelligence and appreciation for life. i love to learn! any other experiences like this?

If normal is what most people experience, then this is not normal. This is not to say that it is bad, it seems as you really enjoy the spiritual aspect of marijuana, which is great. And that this sense of understanding and unity stays with you after the marijuana leaves is great too. I can agree that marijuana gives new insight to the majority of its user's as it helps you look at life from a new angle. My life was changed for the better the first time I got high, but you seem to have stepped closer to enlightenment.

If it gives you comfort I guess it's ok.
Just remind yourself, your not god, your theory is most likely just your mind fooling yourself.
I've had the same type of shit going on, one night I just smoked and my mind started questioning all these weir dthings and came up wit' answers right away, which made perfectly sense to me.
Revealing the purpose of life/universe is something we humans won't be able to do atleast for the next thousand years.

Absolutely, completely, and 100 percent wrong. First of all, what makes you think you can put a date on such a task? One-thousand years, why not two? Second, no one knows if there is a “purpose” to life, you have no way of proving or disproving that there is one, or a multitude of them for that matter. Finally, many religions or philosophies have already found the “purpose” of life, for example, Christians follow Jesus for the most part, living by the 10 Commandments and one day entering heaven. Buzzby will probably better explain the goal of Enlightenment better than I can, ect. Oh, one last thing, I already know the purpose of life. My own purpose anyway.

I actually know exactly what you're talking about, and I agree with you 100%.
Moderation is key as well.
Congratulations. I know what you experience, and damn it feels good!
'Tis probably the most special way marijuana has enhanced my life.
I will say that all of my truths or epiphanies I have while high, or at least a good portion of them, are not necessarily later proven wrong per se, but simply proven to be just one of a number of acceptable alternative truths. What I'm saying is that we should cherish our thoughts and feelings experienced with marijuana, but keep ourselves open to the idea that there are always three (or more) sides to every story. Sorry, I've got the rambles tonight...:spark:

Instead of veering off track and making some absurd comment about how or why we cannot think logical I'll just say this:

It's NORML. I always become very deep and passionate with who/what/when I am doing an activity or talking/thinking.

I've had these 'insights' much often and they all seem to make sense to me when I'm stoned. My theories are mostly about the development of human communication and personality differetientation. Normal sober people just believe that I am suffering from dillusions. I think I can relate to your experiences.

Buzzby

Stoned epiphanies are always fun but usually can't stand "the light of day". Marijuana frees your mind to make all kinds of weird associations. Some of them turn out to be brilliant. Most of them are merely weird.

This same stuff happened to me for a long time. It was really really intense, but eventually it went away. It lasted for a few months though. I loved it.

I like how Buzzby put it: "stoned epiphanies". I always referred to them as revelations.

thank you everyone for your comments and replies, they are much appreciated.

my theories and connections i make about the physical universe seem to hold up when i investigate them further in a sober state. (i constantly write notes down to myself to do further research about certain subjects of interest, i only do this when i have the energy and effort to invest during a high, but i usually try to appreciate the aesthetic value of art, music, etc when im high since it is more enjoyable)

any comments?

is this a "preliminary" stage for a progress to a mental disorder that may bring on a complete loss of touch with reality? ive read that those predisposed to psychosis can feel the effects of it more intensely while stoned.

or perhaps am i underestimating the extent of my own intelligence and overestimating the extent of the effect marijuana has on myself?

any comments?
