Shower Kills My High

[Metalhead]

I dont know if it is how my body responds to water high but everytime i take a shower my high will dissapear or just go away, any way to explain this for me

[fight4rights]

I like taking showers high. It doesn't make me come down at all. There is no physiological reason that being in a shower would make you come down. It's just a psychological thing.

as comforting as i find showers when im high, i gotta admit that a good amount of my high is blown by the time i get out. i think the constant warm sensations on my body and the impact of the water starts "waking me up" in a sense, that and i get caught up in the enjoyment and end up spending an hour in the shower.

i would have to agree with ^^^ showers do seem to blow my high as well. i liek ot just wait until im not high anymore to take a shower. i dont know why it does what it does but ive accpeted it and just avoid it. However i love to shower on shrooms, it is fuckin amazing and does nothing but enhance and stimulate my trip!

showers usually intensify my high, anything with heat makes my head spin when im stoned.
orange juice straightens me out when im bent.

MH,

Try soaking in a hot tub before smoking. Make the water so hot that you can just barely stand it and stay in there for 5-10 minutes.

When you're done you'll probably be so weakened from the hot water that that you'll want to get in front of a cold fan or shower with cold water right away to try to dissipate the heat.

After about 20 minutes the shock will be gone and you'll just feel as tired as if you just ran for three miles.

I would think that would be a good time to light up.

You guys must take some long ass showers, because other than time i dont see what else it would be. But in a sense i do see what your talking about, this used to happen to me all the time but back when i was blazin 4-5 times daily. Then the prime of my high only lasted about 15-20 mins anyway, so i noticed when i came in from the porch and had a shower right away by the time i was done, so was my high.

Smoking in the shower is quite fun actually. I did it once because I didn't want to leave the house, but didn't want anyone to know I was smoking. I was so high by the time I was done, it was awesome! You might try that because you will still be coming up by the time you get out.

Here's an explination ...

There's something called mental anchoring. It's when your subconscious mind directly relates an action/thought/event/word to a state of mind or train of thought. To most people a shower is anchored to waking up in the morning, and cleansing oneself ... so it wouldn't be hard to believe that your mind 'wakes up,' 'refreshes,' and is 'clean' to leave you sober.

Right.
Don't under-estimate the power of placebo effect though. I've actually had a few experiences where I suddenly felt high for no reason at all. Both times I was in class. I was thinking something looked wierd, then everything had that sense of novelty about it, like you get from smoking weed. Like the opposit of deja vu. Then I got the sense of euphoria associated with weed. The feeling only lasted for 30 minutes or so.

There was no physical reason for me to be high. My mind just tricked its self somehow.

Oh i dont come anywhere close to underestimating placebo, with just about every drug i do, i feels placebo effects looong before any real physical effect could possibly be noticed. I take placebo as a blessing, holds me off until the real effects.

Good point but I think it may be a physical reaction as well. Going from hot to cold or vice versa kills the high for sure. If you were tucked in bed after smoking a blunt and someone came in and threw a bucket of cold water on you, I doubt you would be too high.

I was always thinking about something that hppened lately. Some friends and myself went swimming. One of them does smoke for some time but not reguraly, and so sometimes he really gets sick of the amounts that we smoke. It's actually kinda funny, and it is really so obviously when he feels a litle sick, and doesn't want to accept the joint and so on. We went smoking before swimming, and he really feels sick, I can quarrantee you that. He takes one last effort to get in the water and in like a few minutes, he is just swimming and feeling well. I cannot find a reason why this happened. Maybe the touch of water gives the brain some kind of... naah, don't know...

What kind of sick are you talking about? Marijuana actually suppresses nausea, that's one of the reasons it's prescribed to medical patients. I find it hard to believe that your friend felt nautious because of marijuana.

There is no physical reason for water to make you feel more sober. Marijuana works by flooding your brain with cannabinoids. They are chemicals that activate neurons in your brain. How could water possibly remove chemicals that are inside your brain?

Any type of sobering effect you feel is due to you thinking that you are more sober, while in fact there are still just as many cannabinoids acting on your brain as before (unless you take an exceptionally long shower of course.)

its like someone said above, if something disturbs you while your high, ur buzz will be killed. i mean imagine if u were high and watching a movie on ur couch and then ur room got raided by 10 cops yelling and screaming at you. theres no "chemical reaction" that should cause ur high to go away but trust me, your high will be blown. my high will be mostly spent in the shower but i do come out still feeling good vibes in my body and all, i mean the drug is still working, just most of the high has been spent. and as much as marijuana is pretty much a cure all for me, ive got a few friends who cant smoke too much cuz they will easily puke from too much ganj, i think its just a lil much for their bodies sometimes.

if i eat while im high, i'll be pretty sobered up after the meal
if i run or exercise while high, my high will be very short lived
if i have sex when im high, i'll be damn tired but mostly sober when done
pretty much ive gotta just chill and watch tv or listen/play some music when im high if i wanna get the most out of it.

ive smoked in the shower before and it was great but even then, when i got out i wasnt that high anymore. i think i would have to not smoke for a week and then get high for it to last long enough...

[fight4rights]

Right.

I'm just saying there is no physiological reason for you not to be high. You can definitly feel less high for psychological reasons.

Kind of feeling when you just got enough. I have several storys of him, but probably, it's just something wrong in his body or something.

One of those storys:

We were sitting in a forest, smoking alot, but only after one joint, he was not saying anything anymore, and 5 minutes later, he felt (we were sitting but he can fell when sitting, it's like falling with your head down if you know what I mean), and he tryed to puke. However it was in the morning, we didn't eat anything yet, so there wasn't coming out alot.

Me as well, felt sick from weed the first times I'd done it. It some kind of feeling of a rollercoaster in your head, it makes me very sick, sometimes its over after I puked, other times I'm fucked up for two houres. But it doesn't happen anymore nowadays, it is uncommon that I feel bad of smoking weed, with alot of beer it can go wrong sometimes, but thats a different story .

Ive experienced this and my little opinion that i have always kinda believe to be true is that, like when you use eye drops when you are high, maybe the steam from a shower acts the same way. I find eye drops screw my high up a bit, maybe its the case with showers. I dont know, thats about the closest thing i could come up with.

I've never taken a shower while high. I think it would be fun, though. I guess it depends on the person!

You should definitily try it out!

I had a coughing fit so strong once I was pretty close to puking. I hadn't smoked weed in 8 months. I hit this 2 foot zong, only cleared it like half way. I was coughing so long and hard that the zong made it all the way around the circle of 10 people and I was still coughing when it reached me!
