If you have to audition to play a character who is often smoked, but you don't know how to pretend to be under the influence of marijuana, this article will give you some great advice.
Steps
Step 1. Try to be out of everything
Being smoked means being in a complete state of peace and not being touched by anything but your own perceptions. When people talk to you, pretend you don't hear them well and ask them to repeat what they say.
Step 2. Make sure you have a very slow reaction time
Those under the influence of marijuana have delayed response times. For example, you could get hit by a ball in the face, without moving to avoid it!
Step 3. Pretend you are very hungry
Eat whatever you find on your hands. It's called the munchies.
Step 4. Your eyes will need to be red, or carry some eye drops around to make it clear that without this you would have red eyes
People under the influence of marijuana have red eyes and use eye drops to counteract redness.
Step 5. Show that you are thinking "casually" or very oddly
When people are smoked, they usually come up with random or very deep stories. Tell your friends.
Step 6. Forget some short term events
Sometimes, people who smoke suffer from short-term memory loss. If a friend told you something just a few minutes ago, pretend you forgot it.
