Say What's On Your Mind

  • Hmm, interesting theory ??? :)

    I was guessing it was more biological than that, I don't know much about brain chemistry though, so I'll just speculate: :)

    I know alcohol slows down ones reactions and the iconic slurred speech and saying things you wouldn't normally say is due to parts of your brain communicating too slowly for other parts. I imagine something similar happens when you get "so high"  :)) . As in it's possible the area responsible for saying words is where you come up with what you are going to type but a more logicically (possibly complicated) part is where you tell your hands and fingers to type it out, so the communication between these two parts could be slowed, interrupted or confused, like with alcohol. 

    Although then again I am just speculating... you have the experience and your explanation seems more thought out  :-\ it's also still possible it's combination, for example you are describing the more personal effects while I am closer to the root cause or vice-versa(for example)...

    Whatever the case it is very interesting  ^-^

  • I don't think I've seen anyone care so much about such a thing when they're high...most people just want to talk about how great it is. Unless they're horny stoners...those are the best. ^.^

  • I would like to say that I have written whole law essays while blazed and that my first language skills actually tend to increase, especially vocabulary. I also never make spelling mistakes when high and become a fucking Jedi master of French verb conjugation.

    Second language goes straight to Hell, though.

    Cocaine, although being such a historically condemned drug, actually increases the brain's rate of activity. Pure cocaine, in small enough quantities, has the exact same effect as Rittalin.

    Students know this, and some of them snort Rittalin to make it work faster than drinking it.

    Pretty insane shit one learns while studying the biological aspects of psychology.

    Yeah, It's definitely entirely biological. But with certain mechanisms at work, you can expect certain types of errors. For example, if you hit i instead of o, this is just your fingers doing the wrong movement or starting in the wrong place, or the keyboard you're using is slightly different etc. If you type out an entire word and it gets mixed up with a phonetically similar one, at some point the word had to have been represented phonetically, even though the act of typing doesn't require actually making any sounds.

    As to the effects of cannabis on the mind.. it depends on a lot of factors. I find that a high vaporization temperature gives a nice mellow high as long as you're using a non-sativa strain. THC has the lowest vaporization temperature, and it's the compound that really messes with your ability to think. Mix in enough CBN and CBD, with somewhat higher vaporization temperatures, and you can really feel super insightful. You might not ACTUALLY be insightful, but it certainly feels that way.

    I tend towards anxiety anyway, and a pure THC high just makes it worse.. so I always try for nice mellow sort of high. The 'Whoa' high.

  • Fascinating how I watched that for an hour and just...couldn't pull myself away. I didn't want to...I just eventually forced myself to. It was a tranquil feeling, to be sure. :)

  • Well,

    My landlord roommate decided that he/she doesn't want to renew the lease anymore because they'd rather move in their sketchy girlfriend and crazy kids.

    So I now have 30 days to move out even though the rent was paid on the 1st.

    Fucking great.

    So much for a fucking friend.

  • I must say I'm quite impressed by the GTX 970. I'm equally impressed at my sister's GTX 960, considering its very reasonable price tag.
