Yes! Finally, a drug thread. More specifically, weed.
Well, yes, weed makes me a bit paranoid, but there's nothing wrong with some healthy paranoia, is there? makes you more aware of your surroundins, IMO.
Me and my friends were talking about the effects of marijuana, and what we described it as was this: it increases (sometimes dramatically) your perceptions: sights, smells, especially sounds; However, while being sober, a good portion of the hearing, sights and other perception get filtered out (I personally relate it to computer resources, the inputs are reduced to avoid system overload). So cannabis, IMO, opens up those filters.
So with this increased perception comes several feelings. If there's people around that you don't know and who aren't high, paranoia: "do they know I'm high? Is there a cop near?"...If you're inside a "safe place", your friend's apartment, with good music on, then it just feels "good."
But holy crap, try playing a scary video game while high. I did it with left 4 dead, a zombie game. It'll make you much more immersed in the experience, and trust me, your reactions won't be slowed down.

Nice to know other people do it too.
I knew ssjtwizta smoked, and fly, a few others here too, but this is a cool discovery.
Sometimes I'll smoke if I'm gonna be sitting for over an hour (i.e taking the train, I'll burn one down before I go wait for the train), and pack some music or a book with me.
