Just like the title says I’m wondering what is happening to you when you get high on marijuana.

When I first started to smoke cannabis, it was euphoric and just so much fun. Then, it became a little less fun but the insights and ability to make mundane things seem interesting was great. Fast forward many years now and it’s very hard for me to experience a high for more than, say twenty minutes. After that I just sort of feel thick and a little dull.

I have friends that are wake and bakers and never get to the dull part. I have concluded there are two types of people; those who can smoke large quantities over decades and still be pretty sharp (it seems to take them a great effort sometimes) and those that just cannot. At this point, its just a few times a year for me, usually at a concert.
