Cannabis, also informally known as weed, is a very interesting plant that individuals intake for many specific reasons; these could be medicinal, such as relieving body aches, anxiety, or any other body pain that they might be experiencing.
Cannabis is also consumed for recreational purposes, to open your mind, channel your creativity outside the box and have a simply euphoric experience. It’s been scientifically proven that consuming weed has a major impact on our creativity and general way of thinking and speaking.
What do you talk about when you’re High?
One of the best parts of smoking up and having a session with your friends is the long, deep, thoughtful, and insightful conversations you fall into. When you’re having a good high, your brain will be accumulated with newer and different ideas and thoughts, and you’ll be scrambling to relay all of these to your friends.
But the real fun lies in the questions that start slipping out. And I’m not talking about the existential questions; I’m talking about those questions where you’re confused about which letter in the word ‘scent’ is silent or what water tastes like.
The beauty of the internet is that weed smokers can come together and form communities where they can share their thoughts and questions when they are high. In fact, many people on Twitter and Instagram also share their queries on socials by using hashtags, such as #StonerThoughts. Sundry, compelling, and groan-inducing, check out the following questions to ask when high.

Cannabis is known for distorting our sense of time, perception, and thinking. Questions like these that need to be urgently answered might not even cross your mind the next time you have a sesh with your peers.
There are many questions to ask when you’re high, and the mysterious yet hilarious questions given above will help you ponder for a while. In fact, you might just get the answers to these burning questions that most weed smokers have.
How Do Stoners Talk?
You might have experienced stoned speech yourself or witnessed it on various media channels such as on TV, or through your peers and friends. Speech patterns and our way of thinking are quite noticeable and predictable when one is high on cannabis.
Because of our thought patterns being disjointed, our speech ends up being fragmented, and we more than often tend to forget what we were even talking about. Our speech is punctuated by unnecessary pauses paired with spaced-out mannerisms and general slowness in the way we talk.
So why do stoners talk like that? The cannabis plant became extremely popular during the 1960s and 70s, so most of the research that assesses the effects of weed is slightly outdated.
However, many linguistic effects were noted after consuming weed, where individuals claimed to speak less but found opinions and thoughts generally more interesting than usual. It was also reported that these same individuals would lose track of their speech and might leave most of their sentences incomplete or ended hurried and slurred.
It has been concluded that the THC found in weed works just like neurotransmitters, which is why it ends up interfering and meddling with reaction time and balance in humans. Dopamine, also commonly known as the feel-good hormone, is also present in weed. As a result, smoking cannabis rewards individuals, that is, the euphoric feelings that you may experience when high.
This makes weed potentially addictive as well. Very recently, it has been found that weed also hinders motor processes in humans; smoking weed slows down the muscle movements inside the mouth, which can also be one of the causes of “stoned speed.”
While it may be difficult to pin down the exact true causes of stoned speech, the constant scientific research on the effects of weed might help us conclude in the future. The silver lining of this is the enjoyable moments and deep conversations you get to have with your peers and friends.
