get high

Alter your consciousness

Get high is to experience intoxication or euphoria from drugs, alcohol, or other substances.

The phrase most commonly refers to marijuana but applies to any substance that alters consciousness: We used to get high behind the bleachers.

Extended to non-chemical experiences: I get high on life.

The resulting state is being high.
