Everything You Need To Know About Being High
Being high is one of those things that can bring much enjoyment to someone’s life. Coming home after a long day or week at work can raise the stress levels of people tremendously, and being high is one of the ways that people cope with that. Being high is also commonly referred to as:
If you’ve ever been around cannabis before, then you’ve most likely heard at least one of these terms being tossed around. Some people also interchangeably use these terms when they are drunk from alcohol. People use buzzed to refer to being high, and vice versa. There isn’t a rulebook on what term you can use when you’re high.
If you rewind back to the 1960s, the majority of these words referred to people that were on a psychedelic trip from cannabis. While some people might not be able to reach the psychedelic every single time they consume cannabis, that is usually the goal of many people. There are a number of things that can prevent people from reaching that level, but that’s another story.
It helps to look at the many different terms surrounding being high.

Sober
Sober refers to someone that isn’t high at all. It’s the feeling you experience day-to-day life without any substances that affect your mind.
Buzzed
On the marijuana spectrum, buzzed refers to the point of intoxication you reach when you’re at the first stage. You might reach the buzzed stage after a single toke, while others might reach it after five tokes. Getting to the buzzed stage differs from person to person. If you’re brand new to consuming cannabis, there is a good chance that one toke will bring you to the buzzed stage. If you’ve been consuming cannabis for two decades, then chances are it will take you many more tokes. In the buzzed stage, you might notice feelings of increased relaxation. You may also find that music will sound more intense and colors will seem more interesting. Another sign that you’re in the buzzed stage is if you end up getting distracted by simple things. Hey look, a squirrel!
High
Stage two is known as the high stage. When you reach the high stage, you’ll know it. When people get to the high stage, people report feelings of:
Being high is taking the buzzed stage to the next level. You’ll feel a heightened sense of euphoria and your energy levels will also be increased. Some people experience an increased sense of motivation and creativity, and if you’re an artist, this can bring your works of art to a different dimension.
For those that are wanting to get to a high level with a good amount of energy along with relaxation, consider trying a sativa-dominant strain of cannabis such as Sour Diesel. If you’re wanting a strain that contains a little mixture of everything, try out a hybrid strain such as Chem Dog. With sativa-based cannabis strains, they are ideal for cannabis users that want to get a decent high going without getting into the completely stoned stage. The best way to figure out what type of cannabis works for you is to experiment with as many strains as you can.
Stoned
The second last stage between the different stages of being high is known as the stoned stage. When people reach the stoned stage, they report feelings of:
Some strains of cannabis can bring you to the stoned level fairly quickly, others might take a bit longer. There are some people that report feelings of increased anxiety when they reach the stoned level and for that reason, they try to prevent themselves from reaching that point. A lot of new cannabis users can quickly find themselves reaching this stage because they aren’t familiar with how much weed consumption will bring them to that level. Some strains of cannabis are also more potent than others and will make you stoned a lot faster.
Keep in mind that you can skip some stages of being high. You don’t necessarily have to move from one stage to the next in sequential order. Sometimes you’ll just straight from square one to being completely stoned. You can compare the stages of being high to a train that skips all of the train stations that they pass. For more experienced cannabis users, you know how to flip back and forth between stages of being high. There is yet another stage of being high.
Tripping
After the stoned stage, people will reach the tripping stage. Not many cannabis users reach the tripping stage while smoking, and if they do, they consider themselves lucky. To reach the tripping stage, you need a potent strain of cannabis that contains a high amount of THC, the right metabolism, the right time of day, and the right mindset.
You might notice your energy levels increasing as soon as you begin verging on the point of the tripping stage. You’ll also begin noticing things like:
In the tripping stage, there are no limits to what you might experience. Opening up the tripping stage can be comparable to opening Pandora’s box. You’ll have to be prepared for whatever comes your way. If you’re a new cannabis user and have never experienced this stage before, you need to brace yourselves because you’ll be in for quite the ride. Some people experience heightened anxiety in this stage.
After going through the tripping stage, the high will begin to wear off and you’ll start getting the munchies and might start feeling couch-locked. At this point, you’ll want to just run to your bed and sink in it for the rest of the night.
As you’re moving your way through the different stages of being high, start low and go slow. Some people tend to overdo it and then later regret that after experiencing a bad trip.
