More Australian teenagers are just saying no to alcohol

Question by sh0ck3r: Why do I get a different reaction from marijuana?
I’ve been smoking for a couple weeks now and when I get high, I get a different feeling than most people around me.

It is hard to taste the food that I am eating, I usually can’t feel my legs too much or they twitch a little bit, I normally zone out and have these weird, animated imaginations and my vision has me super unbalanced where it is hard to even walk straight. Although, for the most part, I normally get really horny and very sleepy.

Is there something I can do differently to experience this differently? Am I getting too high?
Also, I do feel like I’m in my own world and that I can imagine anything I want to with ease. Sometimes, I picture things in my head I don’t want to at all though.
