What does it feel like to be high on drugs?

Anything - weed, cocaine, heroin, whatever. Does it feel like being drunk but more intense? Or completely different? I’m just curious.

by Anonymousreply 118May 28, 2022 10:14 PM

It is completely different. I no longer smoke weed and no longer do coke and don't really get drunk anymore. I've become on old southern lady and occasionally will get "tipsy". In my case, alcohol lowers inhibitions and common sense. Pot raises inhibitions. Coke made me nervous and edgy. I couldn't sleep and couldn't eat. I could sleep very well on alcohol.

Reposting my response from an old "MDMA v. cocaine" thread:

They are both uppers, but in my experience the high is quite different. With coke, I felt like the smartest, best-looking, sexiest guy in the room. My confidence increased five-fold. It's like a feeling of narcissistic euphoria. It also allows you to drink endlessly without feeling or appearing drunk, and (in my case) also makes you want to chain smoke. But it also transforms you into someone fiendish and selfish and the high starts to wear off within thirty mins. The night consists of many trips to the bathroom.

I remember starting to feel anxiety even when I still had a little coke left because I was anticipating the comedown. I remember the high wore off once mid-sentence. It was that abrupt. And the coke comedown is awful. The body high lasts longer than the head high and you just lay in bed awake and extremely depressed for hours. The depression is almost indescribable.

In the words of an eldergay trying to get me to stop that shit: "Coke will eat you alive."

I did MDMA alone. If coke induces euphoria, MDMA induces bliss. Everything in the world seems better, beautiful, sublime. I listened to music; each song was the most beautiful song I'd ever heard. I know a lot of people have sex on MDMA, but I had no interest: I could not fathom feeling any better than I already did just sitting on the couch. And it's hard to describe, but you do "roll" when you're on it. When I finally went to bed I couldn't sleep. But unlike coke, the MDMA head high lasted a long time. I laid in bed, awake, and felt the happiest I've ever felt in my life.

Regular coke use made me irritable and depressed when I wasn't using. In the end it wasn't worth it.

Can't speak for regular MDMA use, but if I had to choose one to do again (it's been 10 years since I did either), I would pick MDMA hands down.

Weed (30 mg of hybrid gummies) for me is definitely like, slow, enjoyable confusion. You can’t think quickly at higher doses. You have no choice but to slow down and dance or just lay down. And yeah, the giggles are real, because you’re getting euphoria pumped into your brain. And for me it comes in two waves. First, you feel the rising of confusion and then (it fees like 15 mins later) you rise up again to the full platform of chill.

At lower doses, it’s a miracle for monotonous work. Like, if I’m doing a slide deck, it takes me longer if I pop a 10 mg gummy, but my mind is super peaceful and I am strangely detail-oriented while doing it. And I get a nice accomplished feeling afterward.

r15 you can dissolve the gummies in hot water, tea or other hot beverages in an average sized cup to achieve quicker more even results. This is popular with the crowd that prefers to wait until they're ready for bed.

One can also more easily microdose with this method, in a 16 fl oz (or more) glass or bottle, by only taking small sips and obviously heating to allow the gummy to more effectively dissolve then chilling. This route is popular with day workers, particularly those with anxiety, that require low dosing throughout the day but can't afford to get too stoned. Of course, one should test this out on their days off to best see how it may work for them.

Three hours later we find ourselves standing in his bathroom in his empty three story house. We’d been there the whole time just taking. The instinct to go do it in the bathroom was so strong that’s where we went and that’s where we stayed. For THREE HOURS.

Weed can feel amazing, OP. Depending on the kind and the person doing it. It can be paranoia inducing or confusing in public or disorienting at first. It can be calming and lead to really nice free flowing mental associations and really nice bodily awareness. You can play games like experiencing the idea of tasting your food more deeply or having special insight about what you are seeing on TV. A lot less hangover IMHO than alcohol.

Weed can be like a panic attack. Even after years. It helps now that there is regulation and you can know to get indica strains- which is the relaxing one. Still not a drug for social,interaction. And not for everyone.

Alcohol is a social interaction drug. As is coke. For different reasons.

Opiates and benzos are the most mild and subtle - all anxiety fades away -and therefore most dangerous. For me.

Pot is great if you don’t do too much of it at once or too frequently. And shouldn’t take it when you’re upset because stirs up those feelings and makes you very paranoid.

When I’m cross faded (weed and alcohol) I just want to sleep. Alcohol was my drug of choice, but I got carried away and was drinking heavily every night. Weed helps me sleep, but I’m not really social on it. About 2x of a microdose of mushrooms makes me a little more alert and talkative. There is a sweet spot where you don’t hallucinate or feel weird…you just feel better, more empathetic, and happier.

Weed comes in so many strains it can do many things. Educate yourself. It's worth it. There are strains of indica, hybrid AND sativa that will not make you paranoid at all. It's the greatest gift I have given myself. I cut way back on the booze. My doctor thinks it's great. The cultivation and science behind the better brands of cannabis have created something like we never had 5, 10, 20 or more years ago. It's a new day baby. Get you some and smile. Goes great with music, gardening, cooking, chores, movies, hiking. Start with no more than 5mgs. The next time try 8 mgs. Cut the gummies in halves or quarters. Be in control of what you put in your body. Life changing for this angry old queen.

r33 If you have those kind of emotional responses to weed, then treat it like masturbation and invest in the moment, set the mood, the lighting, etc. Also, having an active anxiety pill on hand is practical. But many people get by with just care bags of familiar scents, keepsakes, music, blindfold, etc.

two of the more triggering issues for people on weed are rapid thoughts & difficulty to maintain control of their physical senses, most often though this relates to eye movement and making themselves a bit nauseated, so that's easily taken care of by a blindfold, standard headphones or noise canceling, some may have tactile sensitivity - so that can be more variable - some do better with having salt or sand to play with, others do better with finger toys or just need to have gloves, etc.

but with rapid thoughts while in a slow stoned state, trying to stay focus on something as benign as counting backwards from a 100 or 1000 if need be can be helpful but investing or downloading some guided meditation may be helpful as well.

The nitwit in the emergency room told me to take Tylenol which, understandably, did nothing. My partner called our internist a few days later and she prescribed Oxycodone. Now, I'm an oncologist and throughout the years I've prescribed oceans of narcotics; however, I've never had an occasion to take any.

Coke- you feel invincible with some numbness

Meth- You feel like the greatest person who ever lived

Opiates (Vicodin, Heroin, Oxycontin, Fentynal) You feel like you were dipped into a warm bath of wonderful. Any problems you have cease to matter. You are disassociated, but somehow still in the game.

Benzos (valium, xanax) Disassociated, but no real euphoria like with opiates. Zombie-like.

Another ketamine user here.

I've just started troches (lozenges, basically). I tried a quarter dose and just felt a slight wooziness. Next dose was a half (what the prescribing Dr. said to start with). I didn't k-hole but came close. I've always known I was a lightweight, but Jesus.

Hard to put into words, but I went from feeling a gentle wooziness to feeling like I was on the edge of losing consciousness. It's like the bottom dropped out. I couldn't focus on anything so was effectively blind. I could still move somewhat, but my body parts felt like they were a million miles away. My hearing was muffled. For a few moments I forgot who I was and what the hell was going on. A little unsettling, to say the least. I've heard people saying on ket it felt like the world was 2d, and I agree. Everything felt flattened.

Thankfully, the most intense part was fairly brief. I gradually regained all my faculties. And wondered at people who do this voluntarily, for kicks. Suffice it to say, my next dose was back to a quarter. Thankfully I don't have to disassociate every time (or k hole any time) to get the therapeutic benefit.

Mushroom micro dose and a mission . A mission like a hike or a bike ride were you get to use your physical self. It only lasts a couple of hours and you feel happy and goofy like being tipsy on alcohol but without any of that heavy feeling of alcohol. I feel strong agaile and see shiny brightness to things. Colors are brighter and can give off rainbows. When I come down and relax afterwards I feel mind and body has met a new balance. I Would even say it is therapudic. Make a tea from the shrooms do not eat them directly for a better cleaner high.

With cocaine, it is a constant feeling of being clear. Just fucking clear and you want to maintain that so you do more, but you never get the initial clearness of the first bump. Eventually, you are up for a day or two to the point of exhaustion and your body shuts down and you sleep for a good 8-10 hours. Like nothing can wake you. Some people can just stop it, I always needed sometihng to come down from that buzz. GHB was my drug of choice to curtail my coke benders. With the two you can stop the craving for more. GHB is like being drunk but sober. Everything feels amazing, like the rug, your clothes. It's just a really nice high. Sex on GHB is amazing. The problem with GHB is it comes on differently for different people. You need to take a small dose and wait an hour, even two. It is way to easy to over dose. Meth. No. Don't I snorted it once, I thought I snorted glass shards. Smoked it once, was high for a day just off a few hits. Seriously it can fuck up your brain.

XTC - ooh now there is a good one. You jsut love everyone and everything, Dance all night, sweat like a pig, Be sure to drink plenty of water if you try it and trust me if you are even curious about sex with the same sex you will be getting it on XTC>

Lastly Pot, MJ, Weed. - Two strains Sativa gives you energy and makes you horny, Indica makes you mellow puts you to sleep. I prefer a Satvia CBD mix for daytime and a hit of of Indica on a vape pen at night for a great night sleep.

Coke - alert and more energy. But I've only done it a couple of times and have no idea if the grade or amount I had was "normal." I didn't get to the state that they show in pop culture - manic with energy, etc.

I smoke the kind of weed that energizes you -- sativa. I never get "Cheech & Chong"- level baked, but instead use it to take the edge of tedious house and lawn work, or deal with mild anxiety. It makes everything more interesting, more agreeable. I'm an introvert and much more likely, after smoking, to make pleasant small-talk with neighbors, rather than pretend like I didn't see them and run into the house. Music is AMAZING on weed. Problem solving (as long as it is relatively simple and stuff around the house) becomes exponentially easier and more creative. My arthritis pain and in the knee that is getting a replacement in June are both tamed by weed. Outside heat and cold do not seem to bother me much when I'm stoned. Downsides? Not great for driving, obviously. And if you like to read, you likely won't retain a damned thing you read while stoned. Following recipes while stoned has sometimes led to rather costly disasters. Sex can either be great on weed, or suddenly make me feel hyper-sensitive and too self-conscious to enjoy it. It's random. Taking a break from it for the moment. Don't believe the shit they say that you can't become psychologically dependent on weed. I take regular weeks-long breaks when I feel like I'm reaching for the bong a little too often. I'd love to switch to gummies or vape, but not legal where I live and a hassle to transport.

I despise coke and any upper, and hate booze just as much.

Pot is harmless, but it’s a waste of time, money and effort, as one becomes tolerant to the effects and the high stops kicking in.

I know this sounds silly, but exercise is where it’s at, and it’s 100% free if you don’t have a gym membership or don’t own exercise equipment.

45 minutes on a treadmill will give you a massive burst of euphoria (at least it does for me), and you feel GREAT for the rest of the day.

Walking for an hour or two does not offer the burst of euphoria, or what’s known as a runner’s high, however, it leaves you feeling just as good all day long.

We can get high without drugs. It’s just harder to do because it requires work.

I've even hallucinated on marijuana. My friends and I felt like we were coming up with brilliant ideas while high on marijuana.

However, even those amazing highs were tinged with paranoia. My cohorts and I would make sure we had food on hand before smoking so that we did not need to go to a store while feeling paranoid.

Later highs were just full-on paranoia.

At this point in my life, I'm not interested in learning about and trying different strains of marijuana to mitigate the paranoia.

r9 here, also posted from another thread:

The worst experience I've ever had with drugs was pot. I didn't think I was smoking a lot ... and I'd smoked on many occasions before ... but apparently it was a potent strain. Anyway, after two hits, I was gone.

It was -- far and away -- the worst mental state I have ever been in. I panicked right away, because I knew I was too high. I curled up on my bed and thought that I had split into two separate people. I had to talk myself out of calling 911 over and over again. I considered suicide. I got chills.

Coming down from coke is hell, but I'd take it over the too-high-on-pot nightmare any day.

R50, I’ve done trocjes and intra-muscular injections. They say orally you absorb about 30%, while IM is more like 95%. The IM sessions are horrifying at times. I get so caught up in how fucking high I am then I think about the real world and how it’s amazing I can even function, I question reality, think I’m supposed to start a cult. They sit you in a dark rooM and you listen to music and watch nature videos. After 3 minutes I can’t make out anything in the videos and think Lady Gaga is sending me coded messages in her music.

Do. Not. Like.

[quote] [R86] what is the meth high like, compared to the coke high?

Not R86, but I'll compare:

Meth: First time I tried it, I actually felt nothing. I posted above that it helped with my depression but coming off of it is a bitch. I felt pretty normal, just motivated to get shit done.

Coke: Felt like drinking alcohol (whereas didn't feel like drinking on meth). Felt more talkative and social. However, could have just been the time and place that I did coke. (I was very young and surrounded by other partiers.)

Lol, r89. During one IM ketamine trip, I was convinced that Nicole Kidman was God. It was so random, and I’m not even a fan of hers so I don’t know why my subconscious mind chose her. I did get to go back and comfort myself as a child. It was so powerful and couldn’t have been done any other way. I spent so many years trying to reinvent myself and pretend to others that I had an OK childhood. In truth it was horribly abusive. I stuffed it down for years, so it was really therapeutic to see that traumatized child, tell him that I’m sorry that he was in so much pain but it would get better, and give him a hug.

I had a VERY unfortunate experience with Delta-8 (in my forties, no less) and I will never, ever, EVER touch another drug in my life unless it's for a headache. It feels like being out of your fucking mind. I was psychotic and having actual visions. I asked people to pray for me and thank you JESUS for pulling me out of it.

You can’t overdose on pot

MDMA was the main event for me. Sex on ecstasy was incredible; I felt blissful, peaceful, relaxed, friendly--none of which I was ordinarily. I always had a down for an up but after a dozen doses, I stopped playing with it. I liked it TOO much.

I've never been high on illegal drugs, only drugs prescribed by a physician for very short term pain relief. The best description I can give for that kind of high is that you feel very thick & numb.

Experimented when I was young - coke, meth (just twice god it was bad) XTC. GHB when I started was not even a drug it was something you could get in the vitamin shioppe. I used it religiously to help me sleep, then they scheduled it and turned around and sell it to fight narcolepsy FFS.

Today THC is legal in my state and relatively cheap. I was getting gummies but it is so much easier to hit an indica vape once or twice before bed and I am out in 10 minutes and sleep like a baby.

Would be interesting to merge this with the “what you learn after 50” thread. I was a moderate recreational user of alcohol pot and coke - with occasional XTC for a club or Fire Island night or mushrooms/acid in college. As work and life became miserable in my 40s, I found release in alcohol and started drinking too much. When I left corporate hell at 50, I found the desire for drugs and alcohol almost disappeared. Pot also started making me feel more panicked than relaxed.

Grateful I never did meth or heroin. But in general I found drugs and alcohol to be part of life’s lessons. Along with the drive for lots of hot sex, it fades as you age. Now feeling physically healthy and mentally stable/stress free is all I want. The party drugs hold no appeal.

I quit drinking and am taking 5-10mg of marijuana edibles every night for sleep and to relax for the last year or so. I have noticed that I sometimes can’t find words for things and my short term memory has declined. Dementia and Alzheimer’s both run in my family, and I’m 50 years old. It’s scary sometimes, because I don’t know if my issues are from the weed or if something else is wrong. My aunt was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s at the age of 54.

Booze always made me really loose and social which, as someone who's usually very introverted, was nice and I felt like a much more fun person when I was drunk. I just hated the hangovers the next day. I hardly ever drink anymore these days. It's just not worth it to get a headache after a glass or two of wine.

Pot has been great. I had a really terrifying edibles experience once that kept me away from it for awhile. I was vacationing in a strange city and my travel companion thought it would be fun to take an edible and I was walking down the street, getting hit with the scariest bout of paranoia I'd ever had. In my mind, every person I saw on the street was a secret murderer or terrorist with bad intentions. The moment it started to calm down, I cried tears of joy and had never felt happier in my life and the rest of the high was pleasant and silly.

Since then, I've kept track of how much I'm taking and which strains are which. They can be very helpful for mundane tasks around the house or plotting out the nitty gritty details of something. It makes me very detail oriented and creative. Taking a walk while high on a nice day is one of the great pleasures on this earth. You appreciate everything around you. Pot tends to make me very grateful and thankful of everything I do have. It's a nice headspace to be in.

Indica is best if you just want to relax and watch movies. I can't sit still if I take Sativa. I just want to dance and talk and do something fun and creative.

Funny story: I joined DL approximately 3 years ago. My very first post was almost identical to OP’s opener, here. I simply asked what drugs felt like, and to describe the high.

About 40 people gave me the “0/10” treatment and then concluded that I was a Narc, or other form of law enforcement.

You queens are fickle and nasty, and it made me feel rotten for a minute.

Only edibles and a seasonal macrodose of shrooms for me these days. I would do San Pedro cactus again though. I've moved beyond anything synthetic and I wouldn't trust whatever is out there these days.

A bad trip would involve paranoia. If you ever want to try an unfamiliar drug, don't do it with strangers. You've got to be with people you trust.
