This kid in school asked me what being high was like. The only thing I could think say was that "it's like meeting the REAL you for the first time, and seeing the world around you as it REALLY is." Is that a decent explanation?

That's so true. You really do notice everything around you that you didn't before, and it amplifies whatever kind of person you really are

I would say it heightens all your senses, gives you a greater appreciation for everything. Music sounds better, food is more delicious, funny things are hilarious etc.

i agree with all those things but thats just for the first 5-10 times you smoke. once you reach that one high point after you smoke 5 bowls from a bong you start to realize yourself and the people around you. joe rogan said it best when he explained it. take a listen ill post the link he really does explain what happens when you reach that certain high.

Yeah i always try to explain it but i explain it better when I'm high. You also see people for who they really are. everything is more clear. the opposite of alcohol. Like when i go out, if i was drinking i wouldn't notice half the things that were going on.. for example if someone is hitting on you, its much different being drunk, being sober, and being high. its crazy.

it's like having the option to do anything i want, but choosing to do nothing, because that's usually the best option.

the only explanation i came up with awhile back is that it enhances all of your senses

I reckon a good one would be that it makes you so in awe of the world and every little detail of it, so much so that you might do seemingly stupid things. For instance, there's that classic highdea about that guy who pulls up at his front door and tries to unlock the front door but the key doesn't fit, and then he realised that its not his house, or his street. That's not a stupid thing to do, he was just lost in his own little world.

It's not the REAL you I wouldn't say, not in all aspects. It's just a more pronounced version of some sides of you.

When I get high It feels like I can understand how everybody is thinking, like I can understand why adults get mad at stuff and why people act the way they do, its so weird but helpful cus I can see who the shitty people around me really are and I can stay away from them. First time I smoked I realized the friends I was with were freaking awsome and I was lucky to have them because I see a lot of people who don't even really have good friends....blah blah blah

I would say the world gets all tingly and buzzy. There is definitely something it does to your perception of space, color, etc. It doesn't exactly change things... More how you perceive them. Sometimes it pushes the color around me to primary or secondary colors. Like, not exactly CHANGING the colors but i can see the reds and yellows and blues distinctly and more vibrantly... Actually, "high dynamic range photos" aren't that far off. Theres also a sort of staticy feeling in your physical sensations, an overall sense of synesthesia. Its almost as if you can sense the atoms you're made up of, and they're all moving around ever so slightly. I saw a cool abstract music video once where a 3D model of a mans head was turned into particles and then they had some sort of wind turbulence shake up the particles, it reminded me of the first time i got high and how i imagined my body, a bunch of colorful particles. Its weird how you can ascribe colors to feelings and sensations, but thats the best way to explain it...
