why do i feel high?
The story
Why do I feel high all the time? This is a puzzling question that has left me with more questions than answers. Ok, I smoke weed sometimes. Let's be clear: it's ONLY during nights and weekends. Yet, here I am at work on a random Tuesday afternoon feeling like I'm floating in space. Why is this happening? It's not like I'm lighting up at my desk (obviously), so why the perpetual haze?
I admit I've looked into this phenomenon quite extensively, wondering if there might be some scientific explanation behind it. The logical side of me can't help but wonder if there's something else affecting my brain chemistry or metabolism that's making these feelings linger into my otherwise sober hours. Maybe some sort of residual effects from prolonged usage are catching up to me? Or could it be related to stress hormones that mimic the 'high' sensation, as I've read in various health articles?
People often throw around terms like 'psychosomatic' or 'habitual dependency,' but what do they really mean in this context? Am I just experiencing phantom sensations because my mind is playing tricks on me after regular weekend indulgences? Is this an issue others have experienced too, or am I alone in this bizarre predicament? Again, no answers, just more endless conjectures!
Perhaps it's worth considering whether there's something environmental contributing to this state of confusion. Could it be poor air quality at the office triggering mild euphoria-like symptoms without any illegal substances involved? The kind of thing you might hear about in anecdotal reports across the internet.
All these thoughts leave me feeling both exasperated and skeptical. There's always a chance that I'm overthinking everything (a classic move) and maybe I should just chalk it up to fatigue or mere coincidence; yet...here we are with no conclusive evidence pointing one way or another!!! Does anyone else feel like they're living in a fog even when they're supposed to be clear-headed?

Dude, it honestly sounds like you're overthinking this whole thing; your description of feeling "high all the time" just screams psychosomatic to me...
You know, it might be worth looking into how your lifestyle choices could be impacting this whole high-feeling scenario.... Like, do you get enough sleep? Are you hydrating properly or eating balanced meals?
man, it could be so many things. part of me wonders if maybe your body is just adjusting to the sporadic use and trying to find a balance? 🤔 or sometimes our mind can get stuck in patterns even when we're not actively doing something, you know what i mean? like how some people feel their phone vibrate when it hasn't actually; keeping an open eye on how it's affecting you is a good call but hopefully, with time, this foggy feeling might clear up ❤️
i totally get you! i also feel weirdly spaced out even when i havent smoked recently. maybe its something about how our bodies process things differently?
Yeah! That's what I'm thinking too... Like maybe our systems just react oddly??
hmm could it be placebo?
Placebo sounds crazy but who knows!
yo, i totally get how confusing that must be. sounds like you're really trying to figure out where this lingering feeling is coming from; maybe it's just your body getting used to the weekend routine and carrying it over inadvertently. or it could be something else entirely, like stress or lack of sleep messing with your head. either way, hope you can find some clarity soon!
Oh come on, let's not act like we're solving the mystery of the universe here! 🙄 You're smoking weed and then wondering why you feel high? It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to connect those dots...
Bruh, maybe you're just not getting enough sleep??? I mean, lack of rest can totally mess with your head and make you feel out of it; kind of like being high! You might wanna check if there’s mold in your office too. That stuff can seriously affect how you feel without you even realizing it!!
I've wondered about this too because sometimes I'll feel kinda off even if I haven't had anything for days. It makes me question if there's more to the body's response than just the direct impact of substances.
Could there be lingering effects due to diet or maybe even dehydration? Sometimes I think other factors play into how we perceive these sensations.
Exactly! There must be more underlying factors we're not aware of.
sounds like you're in a bit of a mind maze, but have you considered the possibility of placebo effects? 🤔 even if you're not lighting up at work, just anticipating that evening session might be playing tricks on your brain chemicals. i once knew someone who felt "tipsy" whenever they walked into a pub, no drink needed! our minds are wild and weird like that sometimes; keep tracking how you feel and maybe try switching up your routine to see what changes.
Sounds unlikely...
ever thought about talking to a doctor or therapist? sometimes they can offer insight you might not have considered; maybe there's something else going on with your body or mind. i knew someone who had similar experiences and after some medical tests, they found out it was linked to a vitamin deficiency; sounds wild but worth checking out. also, the placebo effect is real... our brains are pretty powerful at convincing us of sensations that aren't directly tied to actions we take. anyway, best thing you can do is keep monitoring how you're feeling and see if any patterns emerge when compared to your lifestyle choices.
While your experiences are valid, it's possible that other factors such as stress or lack of sleep are influencing how you're feeling during the day. These elements can sometimes create sensations similar to being 'high' without any substance use involved.
That makes sense... Stress has been pretty intense lately...
