ABSTRACT
It would seem that a description of the marijuana "high," the drug-induced intoxication, cannot be an unbiased report: on the one hand, the subject will often report his experience in positive, even ecstatic terms; clinical descriptions, on the other hand, tend to assume that any departure from a normal condition is an aberration, intoxication producing "errors" in judgment and physical performance. The aspects of the high that can be measured objectively—heartbeat, dilation of the pupils, and so on—provide only limited information.
