Describing/imagining being high when you're sober. (reddthat.com)

Do you feel like it's possible to accurately imagine or even describe what it's like to be high when you aren't? Every single time I get high, the experience always sort of, surprises(?) me, as being so drastically different from what I might have anticipated. It's always such a paradigm shift in how I experience my Self and my place in the "universe." (Currently at a 5.)

A friend described it once as like the feeling you get when you’re reading a good book, and are really into it and then take a break to get up. Suddenly you’re back in the real world and not quite sure how much time has passed. Being high is like that, but it happens every 30 seconds.

That’s a very good description! Also describes a rather bad session I had weeks ago when all of a sudden it hit me like a hammer and I was in panic. Haven’t indulged since.
