Being High vs Being Stoned

The experience of cannabis can initially be described between two ends on a spectrum: being high and being stoned. When first experimenting with cannabis, many consumers have profound experiences getting high. Consumers who enjoy being high may end up smoking both more frequently and in larger doses. Over time, many of those consumers gradually slide down the spectrum from getting high to getting stoned.

Some people prefer being stoned, and actively pursue that state of consciousness. Most consumers, however, lament this progression and become frustrated should they find themselves stuck only getting stoned. (request the full report here)
