For me, imagine life being a movie at a very low frame rate, compounded by the fear that one needs to concentrate on totally autonomous functions, like breathing and heart rate, else they'll stop and I'll die. Also, in some circumstances, the inability to finish a sentence for forgetting how it began. All the while having the worst cotton mouth of your life. Never experienced anything psychedelic like hallucinations or seeing colors though.

Everything is fine until you psych yourself out and trigger a panic attack (some people are more prone to them in this state of mind). Then it turns into a living hell for a few hours. And that's an understatement. Because its BAD. It's not a state of mind you ever want to be in. It's something that will scare you out of using it for a long time, and possibly forever.
 
Funny the direction this conversation has taken.

Prior to legalization there had been a number of conservatives in the state who were rather worried and a little upset that Colorado might see a wave of 'pot tourism'. And the negative effect it could have on the state's image. I just shook my head and thought: Really? Who does that?

Then this past fall I was in a bar and met a weird little man who was vacationing in Colorado just for the opportunity to legally get baked out of his mind. We had been having some unusually warm, absolutely beautiful fall weather and this little guy had flown in from Maryland or Ohio or some damned place just to partake and do absolutely nothing else. He kept pulling this little wrapper out of his pocket and going on about how it contained more THC than anything else you could buy. He was very proud of it, actually. Strange, strange little fellow.

People have been vacationing in Amsterdam for decades for the weed. Colorado is a lot closer.
