There are a many ways to answer the question, ‘what does weed feel like?’ but overall weed feels like a numbing of certain senses and a heightening of others. It makes you feel relaxed, it makes you feel happier, and it makes you feel like all the things you enjoy doing are that much more enjoyable. Even if that’s nothing at all!
Again, what does weed feel like is a very subjective question to answer. What you just read above there is my own personal take on the way I feel when I’m high. There’s more to the way I feel after I’ve smoked marijuana or ingested it by other means, but I’d say those 3 are the best overall descriptions of what it does for me and how it makes me feel.
We’re aware that this may seem to be a silly question to answer for those of you who have been marijuana aficionados for a long time. But there’s a whole whack of people who are curious about cannabis now that it’s become legalized in Canada. Many of them will be asking ‘what does weed feel like’?
Let’s have a look at those feelings and sensations you’re likely to have when high on marijuana.
Euphoria
Some of you would-be first timers might say that’s a mighty grand claim to make in response to what does weed feel like, but for many users it’s really accurate. The cannabinoids in marijuana light up pleasure receptors in the brain, and this magnifies all the good feelings that are already going on as your brain responds to endorphins.
If you’re already in a good mood and you smoke a sativa strain of cannabis, you’ll very likely soon be in a great mood. A lot of people find that this euphoria helps them to focus and start on tasks that they’d be less than keen to do otherwise. For example, you’d be amazed at how agreeable you’ll find cleaning the house when you’re high on a nice sativa strain.
Heightened Senses
One of marijuana’s primary appeals for a lot of people is the way it allows you to experience all sorts of stimuli so much more vividly through any of your 5 senses. Music sounds better, food tastes better, a hot bath feels better, art looks better, fresh cut flowers smell better, and so on and so on. For many people this is really the best part of enjoying marijuana – you’re able to experience the world around you and everything in it is so much more viscerally.
Deep Relaxation
This is likely the answer most will expect to the question ‘what does weed feel like?’, and that’s fair enough. After all, the classic stereotype of the ‘stoner’ is a guy who’s so relaxed he looks as if the sofa’s about to eat him. While Sativas are the uplifting and energizing strains of cannabis, Indicas are where it’s at for experiencing a deep relaxation and washing away everything that is bothering you. If you want to find a way to be at peace and focus on nothing more than a deep relaxation, then an Indica strain is what you need.
The ‘Fuzzies’
We’re going to conclude our discussion of what does weed feel like by using a term that is quite common among those who enjoy marijuana. The ‘fuzzies’ are the feeling you get when you first start to feel high, usually within 20 to 30 minutes after ingesting weed. It’s a feeling of fuzzy and somewhat numb sensations all over your body. For most users, these sensations are enjoyable, but they’re eager to have them pass and settle into the more “mellow” stage of being high.
