Discerning 'highs'

Heh...dont hit me for asking! but...

When people describe sativas and indicas, you hear about body highs, and cerebral highs, but since I've learned everything I know from the internet or limited personal experience, and haven't been able to actually speak to people about these things, I'm wondering what the BODY high and MENTAL high actually means. I've been smoking for around 10 years now, from gasoline-eriffic mexican schwag, to trainwreck and MANY things in between...but I don't understand what it means when I read "Body High"

When I smoke some really good bud, around the second hit, I will get a nice headrush where my vision nearly blanks out...nice tingle in the back of your throat, and your worries are gone. Is THAT the "body" high people speak of? As in it effecting your senses some?

Sorry if this kinda sounds unclear...I just want to make sure I have these 'traits' of different kinds of pot down, so I know what to look for and what I would truly like the best, as I dont have access or the ability to try/grow many different kinds..make sense?

Body High I believe generally means couch lock.

well what does that mean? just more inclined to be lazy?

use context clues bro...

what does couchlock sound like?

might be locked to the couch?

sativas are normally high celebral head high.....

and indicas normally are couch lock....

it also has alot to do with how you harvest

im not slow...I understand what you mean...but you really are just regurgitating everything I have read already.

I was looking for a more in-depth description

The sativas high is more in your head, a real high feeling, laughing, silly and or deep thoughts thoughts, social happy buzz etc. The Indica is a body buzz, making you feel kinda numb or frozen like, tingly through out your body. I prefer the sativa high myself. Hope that helps.

I reckon couch lock means u're inclined to sit and watch some shit on TV u usually think is pretty average...and just sit...and take it in. Or, you're at a party and u're just gonna sit and watch everything happen...laugh at the downers but can't be bothered getting too involved. Spectator high... body feels nice and fuzzy and comfy where it is...

I reckon cerebral high is when u wanna do spun out things with ya friends. Smoke in a multi story construction site and blubber about how to make a rail gun or why people believe in god...or wanna shoot one of ya friends in the chest with a ball machine. Or, if you're alone, you're keen to philosophize (having the best ideas ever...until the next day when they seem a little less awsome) or draw or whatever...

I dunno if these two ends of my own high spectrum corelate to indica and sat...maybe. I tend to wonder what the diff is too...

Subjective. Those bomb Sativas hit me with lots of paranoia and that soaring, OMFG giggle O-Rama feel.

To me, the indicas are more the chill, I'm stoned, what time is it anyway effect. Both good, but that early Saturday Morning Sativa blast, well hell that's just another realm altogether. The holy grail is the easy to grow, short stature, short flowering sativa. Most weed out there seems to be indica dominant. (Really killer sativa will make you hunt down some indica dominant to stop the ride.) Even the same strain can veer off in one direction or another.

25 years smoking weed. If you've had killer Sativa, you know it.

I liked hearing how others describe their effects! Always interesting to compare. Thanks

For me, Sativa is the bomb. I can work on projects or do housework, bullshit with the best of them,and even tolerate people I cant stand. I am not a particularly social person normally but when I get a good sativa dominant strain I can talk to anyone. I dont like couch lock, I can be lazy without it.
