1: has anyone else experienced being an "other" character than your usual self when high?
Even since New York last semester I've felt like i am a witch or a sorceress every time i smoke. Last night i became sure that i am on my way to becoming a shaman or sorts... and felt that i was connected with my being beyond this reality, with the over all me, and i was moving in and out of different realities in which i was doing what i was physically doing: every so often the feeling would change and bring different associations.
I've also been a beautiful bird beigh carried into a castle India, in a beautiful cage... and all of this, me and the cage, was similar to a diamond. I felt that this was another possible reality.
Anyway, can anyone relate?

2: Where have you been when tripping?
I've been in a forest castle, literally a castle made out of the forest jungle that was around me. It was amazing
Also a futureesk world, very digital, very sharp - like the difference between blue ray and regular vision. Everywhere that lines crossed -- for it was all in a net, sort of like digital animation but softer and very detailed -- there was a white light. The more that things crossed; the more connections i saw the more white it became. ... the white was so luminous, i could see every color in it, and more than just the regular rainbow colors.

Pretty sure that's something to be worried about, schizophrenia comes to mind.

Schizophrenia or not, something is wrong with you, because that sounds too fucked up, sounds like you were tripping on acid actually, that must have been some pretty fucked up vacations in new york...

glad not everyone thinks im crazy here.
I've smoked since high school but i really only noticed this in new york last semester. (which wasn't a vacation...)
I don't usually smoke alone, but often i'll begin with people and end by myself. Last night i was with people yet i was very individual. It was sort of a very long meditation and i just watched my environments change.
It definitely has to do with having taken acid - expanded consciousness and all

My boyfriend said that he has heard of other people talking about the jungle/castle place. I was curious to see if anyone here had experienced it.

Mafoo

the castle i have heard of. and the reason why i asked how long youve been smoking is because:

one of the first times my friend and i smoked weed out of a bong, (probably the 3rd or 4th time ever smoking) my friend went into a very intense state after vomitting a few times (this horrified me, i thought i had killed my friend as i had been told that people never barf from pot and i was the one who constructed the bong lol). he was virtually incoherent but somehow awake. he sat there and kept blabbing about seeing a castle, mind you he was laying down with both arms covering his face so he couldnt 'see', and im sitting on the other couch worried and wishing i was tripping out as intensley. i thought maybe it was the intensity of those first couple smoking sessions bringing about a trancelike state or something.

can you describe the experience a little further? do you think you are just becoming more aware of the changes in your conciousness and thus feeling like a different 'character'?

i find this very interesting

“For a long while I have believed…that in every generation there are a few souls, call them lucky or cursed, who are simply born not belonging, who come into the world semi-detached, if you like, without strong affiliation to family or location or nation or race; that there may even be millions, billions of such souls, as many non-belongers as belongers, perhaps; that, in sum, the phenomenon may be as “natural” a manifestation of human nature as its opposite, but one that has been mostly frustrated, throughout human history, by lack of opportunity. And not only by that: for those who value stability, who fear transience, uncertainty, change, have erected powerful system of stigmas and taboos against rootlessness, that disruptive, anti-social force, so that we mostly conform, we pretend to be motivated by loyalties and solidarities we do not really feel, we hide our secret identities beneath the false skins of those identities which bear the belongers’ seal of approval. But the truth leaks out in our dreams…: alone in our beds (because we are alone at night, even if we do not sleep by ourselves), we soar, we fly, we flee. And in the waking dreams our societies permit, in our myths, our arts, our songs, we celebrate the non-belongers, the different ones, the outlaws, the freaks. What we forbid ourselves, we pay good money to watch, in a playhouse or movie theatre, or to read about between the secret covers of a book. Our libraries, our palaces of entertainment tell the truth. The tramp, the assassin, the rebel, the thief, the mutant, the outcast, the delinquent, the devil, the sinner, the traveller, the gangster, the runner, the mask: if we did not recognize in them our least-fulfilled needs, we would not invent them over and over again, in every place, in every language, in every time.”

— Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

I once was at a round table with Da Vinci, Einstein, Rommel, Hawking, Douglas Adams, and Gandhi. We talked about the universe, peace and how to unify it. Also we talked about time travel, and the fabric of the cosmos. I have never been more at peace, and ever since I hear them give me ideas now and then.

It's interesting that weed alone did that much to your friend... he's lucky . I'm curious about what your friend is like normally.

Well the time i was in the jungle castle I hadn't smoked at all. I was tripping on some jerry bears, listening to Porcupine Tree (On the Sunday of Life,) and burning a Sacred Smoke incense. I don't exactly remember coming into this place, I just realized that i was seeing rich green leaves with gold trim and shimmering tips. I'm not sure how i came to think that it was a castle, maybe it was because it was so beautiful... but i was sure that i was in a castle, made of jungle forest. I believe that the castle went away when the sacred smoke incense aired out..... or i may have just come down off of a wave and stopped noticing it. I found this place again for a moment when my second incense was burning, but i don't want to say the the incense is all that did it, since all three things and myself played a part in the whole experience.
I was sitting cross legged half under my table and actually looking around at this jungle, so not like your friend, but i also didn't have any other people in the room with me to possibly distracted what i was seeing in my mind.

Yes, i do think that i am becoming more aware of the changes in my consciousness, but also, this is my main point, i think that i am connecting to different possible consciousnesses - in parallel universes. I guess i am becoming more aware of my 'greater' consciousnesses. "Mind at Large" - Huxley
Weed never effected me in this way originally. And i think that this is because i didn't know that, or how, i could use it to go to other places.


~Also id like to add that i smoke scarcely.
When i do it and i am not ready to take myself somewhere, or to let my mind go somewhere on its own, the experience just ends up being stressful.
And I find that too much smoke makes me less capable of understanding different ways of thinking, twisted jargon - in school, and expressing my thoughts concisely. I think that weed almost uses up a certain something which our minds/brains (i don't know which) gathers in un-high states. Before this last time I took a huge break... so i guess in that way it was sort of like what happened with you and your friend.

LOL... people are so quick to yell "schizophrenia". .. this actually doesn't sound remotely like schizophrenia.

Although there are different degrees:

"I got up this morning and had bananas. Mad monkeys hate bananas. I hate monkeys! They put the fucking monkeys in the TV to spy on you. They know my thoughts. Fucking monkeys! Fuck off! They eat your face at night. I like bananas. I need to buy some more." (that's schizophrenia)

I don't know... tripping and dream scenarios are strange things to contemplate. I remember finding out (unless they were lying) that someone else had the same dream as I had (a recurring dream). And it wasn't anything normal either. Had to do with being kidnapped by a UFO, sitting in a spot-light, and having all of my teeth fall out. She said she dreamt this exact same thing, minus the spotlight. What the hell is that?

sometimes when I get really hyper I act like a black guy and people call me jemaul it trips everyone out and improves everyones high because I make them feel hyper too but I think thats when just my adhd goes crazy my friend likes to pretend hes a bunch of different things when he smokes weed too like a dog and shit he always run around soo your not the only one.

Once I played basketball on the moon but that was shrooms, weed and alcohol
