Well I was aware I am intoxicated, in the same way I'm aware I am drunk. But like with drunkenness, it's not much I can do to "shake it off" as it's clear that something chemical is messing with my body and it's not just an idea or fixation which can be dismissed by free will. The good part is that weed intoxication wanes off much quicker than alcohol, having experienced that the first few times seemed almost miraculous. With alcohol and a similar level of perceived intoxication, I would have suffered for two days, a "I don't wanna live" initial hangover, followed by "I just don't feel well" second day. Weed intoxication, after 3-4 hours starts to dissipate rapidly and in half hour I'm back to normal like nothing ever happened.
