NT and Cannabis

I zone out mostly, and can enjoy a peaceful mind, not very social when affected by cannabis.

The zoning out part is typical of me aswell. Everything becomes too intense to be able to have normal conversations. Beer does the opposite to me, totally not caring about my social image at all.

Cannabis makes me too self-conscious whereas beer destroys my self-consciousness. Combos of these substances are weird.

Bad jokes. Millions of them.

Do you get so damn high that you lose your sense of reality and you start questioning your existence?

When I'm stoned I get couch-lock so badly! I enjoy the same stuff as when I'm sober, but I am much more relaxed. I find that it helps me deal with people other than my family and close friends. It makes me temporarily forget about some of the things that I have been mentally chewing on for awhile. Then I have an awesome AHA moment and bounce ideas off my INTJ husband. He gets really goofy and extremely clumsy, but stays mentally sharp. We are able to debate and have a great long conversation with periodic moments of complete silence where we both are lost in our own thoughts. WHICH IS AWESOME.

And obviously I have the munchies and sometimes the giggles.

You basically summed it all up for me.

My reality perhaps, but I never question my existence. If I wouldn't exist, I wouldn't be capable of questioning my existence. Simple.

I've never cared about cannabis or most drugs. I might try it one day on my own, but right now it's not that interesting to me.

I'm questioning whether some of these people have tried this stuff before forming their opinion. I know for me it's like steroids for my imagination while my thinking ability is relatively unchanged.

Exactly. Don't hate what you don't know.

Yeah and if you get drunk enough you start doing really, really stupid things that will completely destroy your social image. It's almost like you lose control and really don't care to the point you are just plain stupid and essentially out of control.

Just for the sake of updating this thread,

As an INTP, I realise that I become more ENTP when I'm high and not anxious.

They get relaxed; I get anxious and paranoid.
They're interested in everything; I tune out.
They feel nice; I feel like my bones are made of wood.
They clear their heads and focus; my thoughts race tangentially.
They love everyone; I think everyone hates me.
They're satisfied; I crave immediate gratification and feel empty.
They're motivated; I'm only motivated to eat and not stand up.

And the list goes on, though I can enjoy it on occasion– mostly for the creative thinking and skewed perspectives it provides, which can be enlightening. But the on occasion part is important. If I ever smoke semi-regularly then enjoyment is minimized quickly.

I get anxious when I'm with people I'm not too comfortable with and I am obliged to do something at some point during the whole experience. I get so scared that I'm not doing something right and I am not saying anything right so I just get really trippy and I fall into this place where my mind just races too quickly.

If I'm not mistaken, this is probably a Ti kind of thing. If you can't control it, it becomes your enemy. If you get the chance to, smoke more regularly and just remember you can control your body to do what it wants to do. It's okay what the other people think of you anyway, they're not you. Remember, you can change the situation at any time. You can either grab a knife right now and just stab someone or you can just break someone's heart in a heart beat. But you don't because you just don't but you're capable of a lot so don't be scared.

I've never smoked. My two close friends occasionally do but I'm not willing to try anytime soon. I don't like situations where I'm not in full control of what I'm doing.

Then I'm assuming you don't drink either?

Exactly.

I smoked for the first time this week. Felt nothing. Next day, got blazed. Next day, got blazed again. All of this is with SPs. I feel less inhibited, more extroverted, relaxed, my movements feel almost numb. I get wobbly, zoned, and colours are saturated. I can't do it when I'm already tired, because I'll just get major couch-lock, and that feels lame.

I feel like my Ti takes a step back, but I'm also more willing to share whatever thoughts I have. I also feel like I love people more. I think cannabis + INTP = ENTP.

LOL people who don't take cannabis and assume they know what it is amuses me.

You can control your body and you can tell it to do whatever you want it to do. You can play football DRUNK as FUCK, trust me. You can do whatever the hell you want high. It's all about mind over matter. You are your body how the hell can you not have full control of what you're doing.

Marijuana culture is icky. Shame on y'all.
