Which do you prefer - a BODY high or a HEAD high?

We've heard the terminology for both before, body high and head high (head high also known as 'mind' high).

From the differences between them, and from my understanding, the best way they were phrased was that a body high refers to purely physical sensations of pleasure - a narcotic effect. Feeling that your body is heavier, getting that little tingly weed feeling all over your muscles - these are both examples of effects that could be categorized under body high.

Mind high or head high refers to the mental effects of marijuana. These include (but are not limited to) mild euphoria (e.g, you feel a little happier than before), increased creativity, slightly altered vision, change in emotions, etc.

I've also read that a Sativa will induce the head high (or mind high) and that an Indica will result in a body high. Although I can't say I agree with this, and what if it was a hybrid strain?

Well, I have friends who have become enlightened from the Marijuana, I also have other friends (that I laugh at, all in good fun) that believe that somehow Marijuana is making them much smarter then they really are. Finding creative ways to come up with things, new inventions, what-if scenarios = LOL. (I've been a victim of it too)

Others just want the body high to relax after a day of work, to chill out from stress, or whatever else pleases them.

Right now as I'm typing, I think I just smoked some head high (mind) Marijuana. What works for you guys?

Body high or Head high?

I'm all about getting that sativa induced euphoria, but I enjoy a nice hybrid as well with an even balance of stone and high.

It is all about the mood I'm looking for at the time. Thats is why it is nice to have a variety on hand.

When I was an undiagnosed autistic that thought life just sucked ass.... I preferred a body high and anything that numbed me the F' out. Interestingly enough... those strains also make my autistic issues worse.

Now that I KNOW I'm autistic and can lead my life accordingly... Life is F'n AWESOME! I prefer a head high so as it enhances my existing joy of being alive. The right "Head" strains also make my autistic issues fade considerably or become more manageable. Win-Win. :D

I believe there are too many people who were sold a bad bill of goods on what life's about and that they'd be happier with the right information and sativas.

Stay Safe! :tree:

Body high is wayyy better. I dont get it much anymore but when I first started smoking in 1997 I used to get waves up and down my body and feel like I was sinking into the couch an shit.

Body is best, but head is necessary to cut the headache pain. I've been a medical marijuana patient now for almost five years and I am still figuring it all out. In the end, I don't care what the buzz is like, just give me some living with pain and I'm good to go. On the other hand, I would like to enjoy the circumstances that would allow me to enjoy marijuana for the fun of it all - like I did as a youngster...

sativa head is necessary for migraine prevention. indica body for incidentals.
it's funny i can usually predict it by the time of day. sativa in the day and indica at night.

I'm normally a sativa snob/head high person but I use heavy indicas to get to sleep, relax or for pain relief.

Depends on the time of day. An indica late evening for sleep but I love my sativa head high the best.

I prefer a good body high while receiving head.Of course sometimes I like a good head high to appreciate that body.

I rather smoke on indicas but I deffo wouldn't throw a good sativa out of my bed, I grew up smoking nothing but heavy hitting hash, thats before it went to the dogs and became 90% GUNK!
