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.)

Everything gets enhanced, to include negative emotions. But it's easier to get distracted from those negative emotions most of the time.

It feels like something turns on in my brain that I'm usually missing, and it's a good thing.

I can actually think more clearly, have better social abilities, and become more positive.

But it's also kind of like a filtered perspective of reality and I do notice that.
