general anestetic has to be one of the oddest sensations out there.

What the fuck!? i'm in a different room! i've been teleported!

i've only had the same effect one other time, smoking weed and drinking cider while camping aged 16.

Too true!
There odd thing was, last time I had one... when I was about 18 ... I had just been introduced to the world of weed. I started feeling stoned and burst out laughing as I counted down. Then woke up as they wheeled me out of theatre and informed the nurse I was 'as high as a kite'.

Good times.

Highs and lows of anesthesia
On waking up back in the ward I could hear some woman screaming and crying and generally being a noisy PITA.
There were 3 nurses looming over me as my eyes focussed in again.
I mumbled 'I wish she'd shut up"
Whereon one of the nurses patted me soothingly and said 'its you dear"
Whoa it was, as soon as I'd become lucid again I shut the feck up.

At the opposite end, when waking up after having several tooth extractions i couldnt stop laughing.
Apparently i started laughing before I even came out from under the gas, several other dentists and nurses from other rooms came to gawk at me. I laughed all the way to the recovery room while being held up by 2 dental nurses who found it hilarious.
And laughed for another 20-30 minutes, getting more hysterical every time the door opened and someone looked in with a big grin on their face.
Then I fell off the chair and threw up.

If only they could legally sell that stuff
