What is the difference between being high and tripping?
    #14370016 - 04/28/11 10:26 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

I'm trying to prove a point to a friend. He claims that being high is the correct term for being under the influence of any substance. He says this because he perceives how people react to different substances as the same thing. (He has seen people on LSD, and they act the same as people who have smoked weed.) I'm trying to tell him that he is wrong, because the actual experiences of both substances are different, so there's a distinction between the two. The distinction being that weed causes one to be what is defined as "high," and LSD, as well as other drugs, causes one to be what is defined as "tripping." However, he says that this is invalid because I have no grounds for my statement (although I would say that I do). So can someone tell me what the difference is between the two, and provide some reputable source so that I can shut this fucker up? Thanks.

For the same reason you call someone drunk on alcohol, and high on weed. It's a different experience for a different substance. Case closed.

I mean, I think that lower doses of psychedelics do produce what can be called a "high". You get giggly and act like an idiot. And I think that that's where a lot of people who experiment with psychedelics don't get passed.

It's in the higher doses where reality becomes so warped that all you can do is lie on the ground with your jaw wide open and your eyes rolling around in your skull... definitely different than just "being high".

well, you can trip on weed.  if a person is inexperienced, smoking weed is like a trip and eating potent cannabis food is DEFINITELY like tripping for them.

i think the distinction is that only a square would refer to someone being "high on lsd"

Close your eyes, it's called a trip for a reason.

Yea, when I'm coming up on psychedelics, I always just feel high first. Then the real distortions begin. What he doesn't understand about tripping, is that things actually change. Things look and feel and sound different. Not just better, but completely different.

Being high is descriptive of any drug.  High on alcohol, weed, shrooms, pcp.  It all works.

Tripping is a more focused description of high.  Usually reserved for psychedelics. 

So.. your friend is right and you're retarded.




I would always say that you can call someone under the influence of a drug high. But I would never call a drunk person high. The point he's trying to prove to his friend is that there is a firm distinction.

And you are once again being an asshole, why is it that I come across you so many times just being a douche?

I'm not really arguing the slang so much as trying to support the distinction between being just high, and tripping.

I looked up "high" in the Oxford Dictionary:
[predic.] informal excited; euphoric:he was high on an idea
*intoxicated with drugs: some of them were already high on alcohol and Ecstasy

[predic.] probably means slang, I don't know. But it does have a solid definition.

I call drunk people high sometimes. 

And I'm just joking to OP.  Don't be so sensitive, looks like you're the douche. 

the point is "high" is the universal word for intoxication.  Everyone knows different drugs give you different highs.  Come on people




Anyways, although I initially made this thread with the assumption that "high" didn't mean being on the effects of any drug, I would like to show how being high (on weed, since that is what he was likely referring to) is different than tripping. But I need some sort of source in order for him to even consider agreeing with it.

Dude, a good source is anyone who has ever tripped before.

I once tripped so hard on ayahuasca, that my visuals were almost IDENTICAL to this. Make him watch that. If he says that's not different than being high, then he's an idiot.

No problem. I just watched it for the first time recently, and was blown away at the similarities to one of my experiences.

Me too. It was purely amazing! I've never experienced anything like that, or anything so vividly on DMT before though.
