What do you prefer- getting high or drunk?

[Zeze]

Despite all the weed lovers of online, I must say I still prefer drinking bar none. This is my personal comparison:

Alcohol:
- Drinking makes me happy & outgoing. You are still 'you'- just more stupid with the world spinning.

Pot:
- Holy crap, you actually can't control your thoughts. 4 times I've smoked, I've always gotten paranoia. All I get is being stuck in a pattern of forgetfulness and keep doing things over and over to see if I have done it. In my head, it's a constant argument with myself despite making best efforts to just 'sit back & enjoy it'.

I guess pot just doesn't suit me. I do admit pot offers a true hallucination- hearing & watching things get pretty crazy. But, fvck paranoia (every time of different kind & occasion- Europe & here).

Also I don't smoke. So inhaling is another added annoyance. My lungs feel pretty crappy long after.

Anyone else's body doesn't agree with pot?

To be honest, I've never been high and quite frankly I have no desire to experience it.

I enjoy drinking (maybe a little too much...), the mind-numbness feels amazing. It's one of the few things that relieves stress for me. I am so much happier and outgoing when im drunk. Gotta be careful to not let it get out of control though, alcoholism is in my genes.

I've only been drunk and high from oxycodone. High is way better. Probably the best I've ever felt in my life. Kinda sad I guess.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I've been high a few times, and I have to say, I'm content to live the rest of my life never feeling that sensation again. It's not bad, it's just not for me.

Drunk? I don't particularly like full-on drunk. Tipsy is pretty good. But I've had more fun being drunk than high, so I voted for it.

You should try at least once. Unlike alcohol, getting high truly alters your perception-

* Time feels like it's going REALLY slow.
* Everything looks and feels 2D. People look and feel like cardboard cut outs.
* Music becomes VERY trippy, some instruments stand out and you are startled. Music with reverb sounds very '3D' and engrossing. My first time, I understood Bob Marley's music as intended- dat ska guitar strums.

Alcohol does none of those, just makes you lose your inhibition more.

I just can't stand it due to the terrible paranoia every time.

I spent most of my life 18-30 smoking pot. I love it. Don't smoke it any more, but I would rather smoke marijuana than drink. I've never hallucinated, but it would remove any aches and pains and reset my mood to a neutral happy slightly goofy state.

I've been told I can be a real dick when I'm not smoking weed. I miss it.

WTF have you been smoking?

 

[Dr. Zaus]

God told me not to smoke anything any more.

So drunk.

 

[Agent11]

WTF have you been smoking?

Me thinks he got some that was laced with something nasty.

 

[Zeze]

WTF have you been smoking?

You never felt that? I told this experience to a friend who smokes often and he agreed with me on the 'cardboard cut out' description.

Pretty sure it wasn't laced either, it was at a legit coffee shop in Amsterdam.

id rather drink. if i drink a little i open up, if i drink a little more i open up and am hilarious and have a blast, if i drink too much i am hilarious, sort of a dick, and then sleep really well.

if i get high i just want to be lazy, maybe sleep. i like smoking pot now and again to relax, but i dont want to be around anyone or have any responsibilities when i do. i just want to get a buzz and chill out alone. and sleep like a log. ive never gotten the paranoia a lot of people seem to get. i also dont get any of the hallucinogenic side. i just get lazy and sleepy. its nice.

i also like to get sort of drunk and just smoke a tiny bit of marijuana sometimes, but it doesnt happen often. years ago i went out canoeing with a buddy and we took a 6 pack each and smoked a few bowls and took our time getting back home.

i got home at 630, went straight to bed, didnt get up til almost 7 the next day. best nights sleep ive ever had. seriously fantastic.

well ive never been to Amsterdam but i have smoked me weight in weed and have never thought people were 2D while high

ive done many other things as well and never experienced that


Psilocybin had the most extreme time dilation effects

 

[Insomniator]

Don't really like getting high anymore, i get way to paranoid and my brain turns to 'scumbag brain' where I think about everything i've ever done in life.

Being drunk is much more fun now

Whipits are the awesomeest but drugs are bad so don't do drugs, not even Whipits.

 

[Dirigible]

Whipits are the awesomeest but drugs are bad so don't do drugs, not even Whipits.

If you borrow your friends' whipitizer and use it to actually make whipped cream, and you wash it and give it back and then they use it for whipits but it wasn't totally dry and they end up inhaling lots of tiny ice crystals, that apparently hurts and then your friends are mad at you.

In conclusion, I prefer desserts with whipped cream to getting high and I now use a mixer to whip the cream so people won't get mad at me again.

Neither, sex is way better.

Drunk sex is even better than regular sex.

 

[Stifko]

I would much rather get high. I like the way it feels a lot better and there is much less of a hangover. Weed is medicinal and booze isn't.

 

[Kadarin]

For me a small amount of marijuana generates a very pleasant feeling, whereas a larger amount becomes too intense to be pleasant. Overall, I prefer a nice buzz from drinking beer.

 

[John Connor]

Never been high or drunk. I can't get drunk in fact last 4th of July a drank a whole bottle of Jack and I was sick as a dog. I prefer drinking though. Being in that right state where I'm really talkative it's like a damn truth serum.

 

[Rinaun]

High. My family has a sorta rocky relationship with alcohol (heart issues plus diabetes), plus I like being able to do simple tasks without worrying about how much I drank. I smoke often enough where I dont get spaced out and other stuff that makes people funny on marijuana; I also use it for various ACTUAL medical reasons.

It's a shame most of my friends are adamantly avoiding or against pot. I'm stuck here smoking by myself half the time since I don't like hanging with 4/20 stoners >.>

Thats an inexperience thing, that really only happens when you get really high, at least that's the only times it has happened for me. occasionally it seems like the entire world is underwater too, that's kinda fun when the walls are moving like they are in a current.



I would much rather be high than drunk, I dont not like drinking, I just much prefer being high, less headaches, less stomach aches, more relaxing.





As for your paranoia, that quickly goes away if you smoke 2-3 times a week for 2-3 weeks, after your 7th or 8th time smoking "regularly" in a safe environment, you stop getting paranoid over EVERYTHING (though some things might set you off).

I am the same way, I will smoke with some stoners sometimes, but I actually prefer to smoke by myself or with one of my two good nonstoner pot smoking friends.

 

[mnewsham]

Neither, sex is way better.

you ever fuck while stoned?

Nothing in the world like it, that shit will change your life.

Spent many years smoking pot on and off. I used to work at a local Pizza joint after my life took a turn in an unexpected direction, and for quite a while, I'd wake up at 11 or 12 in the afternoon, run errands, mow, work around the house, whatever. I'd go to work from 4:30 to 11:00 then come and smoke a couple bowls or joints, whatever the roommate and I had, and usually play Xbox or watch TV. Made me relaxed, forget about my problems, and at the time, happy.

Other times it was self medication; I'd work on a farm seasonally during harvest and those damn little bees wings would agitate my allergies to no end. So each night, I'd take a handful of smokes out of a pack and pack the ends with pot. Throughout the day, I'd smoke one of them and my allergies wouldn't bother me. Accidently discovered this, thankfully.

Now, I'm in a new house, got a good 9-5 job, and am with the woman I'm going to make my future wife. I drink beer regularly after work or on the weekend with the occasional couple shots and the happy I am now is a day and night difference from back then. I haven't smoked pot in years and while I occasionally (usually while on Xbox or outside working) miss it, I'm not going to throw away what I have now for a couple tokes. I'll take my alcohol any day, thank you very much.
