Is being sober better than being high?

I love marijuana and have been a daily user for years. I think it is a beautiful plant with true medicinal qualities and definetly among the most pleasant, safest mind altering experiences on the market especially when only used with a vaporizer.
nevertheless I have been experimenting with sobriety, and went 8 days without smoking pot or drinking alcohol.
Last night I vaporized some weed I had left over. After completing the experiment and comparing, I actually think I felt overall better, "higher" even when I was sober than when High.
So I think for the first time In a long time I just won't bother to get more.
Anyone else had a similar experience?

No, being sober is not better than being high. You probably still have a bunch of THC stored up from before.

Being sober sucks bad; i've already been sober for most of my life 
Smoking weed is alright untill you developed so much tolerance that you don't get high anymore.

Being sober is cool simply because it makes you appreciate being high even more.
Or at least that's the conclusion I came to.

People who don't get stoned from tolerance,are you stoned 24/7?
I smoke everyday but the large portion of daylight hours I'm not stoned and I still get baked.

5gram every two days, more when i'm tweaking, rolling or tripping (or anything else really) that week.
I think it's because I have smoked COPIOUS and copious amounts of weed.

Sobriety is ultimately the best high you can get.
All your senses are 100%, you are fully aware, conscious, clear thoughts, motivated, ambitious etc.
Maybe sobriety is less fun than being high. But if you want to achieve bigger things in life, drugs should remain in the "occasionally" column

you and everyone else here have smoked loads.
Maybe start smoking later in the day,a sober mind isn't bad at all mostly,it keeps you looking forward to a smoke later on in the day then.

If you've smoked daily for so long then being stoned is your ordinary consciousness and therefore being sober will
Since being sober is usually people's ordinary state of consciousness being high

I've recently came to the same conclusion. It really depends on the person, though. I smoked everyday for maybe 6 years. A lot of wake n bakes, a lot of smoking through the day. I loved weed, but my dealer got popped and now I've been stuck dry for over a month. At first, it blows. Couldn't sleep, no real appetite, just generally feeling shitty. But now I feel so 'clear'. I'm going to have my first trip tomorrow without weed, and I'm excited for it. I feel like maybe I've been missing out because of my pothead ways. I'm ready to take a break! It's all subjective though.
TL;DR if it feels better for you, then go with it.

Yeah I don't get it either. My most visual and meaningful trips have been the few times I didn't use with it.
