Newsgroups: rec.drugs.cannabis Although, colors seem brighter when I've smoked up pretty much, the most peculiar effect I experience however, is that the 'meaning' of things/events (semantics) seems to alter significantly. Observed events (or thoughts) have an (emotional/rational) impact upon the subject (completely) different from normal perception. Let me clarify this with an example; when I normally (that is, not high on pot) watch the News on TV and hear about some particular event. I tend to think something like, oh... well, ok this or that happened, there's nothing I can do about it, it's (probably) not gonna effect my life, so in a way most 'news' is viewed upon merely as (informative) amusement. When high on pot however, most events described in the news typically seem to have much more relevancy to me, in general implicational strucures (if then) which have a scope that ranges beyond me, are realized to an extend I donot experience sober. It's quite hard to explain the actual process. I'll just give a specific example of an implicational strucure as experienced high on pot: suppose darwin was right about evolution, then a typical implication is that EVERY animal (plant) on this planet (including you), has a common ancestor with ME. Okay, hell you say, SO WHAT??? Well, nothing (at least, not necesseraly), but when I'm high, these kinds of realizations (can) have a very big impact on me (or in other words; they seem very relevant). Niek
