A person is “high” when they are intoxicated with drugs. If you suspect someone is high, you can ask the person directly, or look for physical signs and behaviors. In many cases, a person who is high will recover on their own, or “out of high” without danger. However, in some cases, a person who is high may need help. Observing someone’s highs can help you determine if they need medical attention or help getting home safely. You need to be especially careful when someone is forcing you to take drugs.

Look into the person’s eyes. Smoking opium can cause red or watery eyes. Closed or dilated pupils can be a sign of drug, stimulant, or ecstasy use. Observe rapid or unnecessary eye movements. Abnormal eye movements, or nystagmus, are a symptom of many forms of drug use. [1] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source

Smell the smell emanating from the person’s body. A person who smokes marijuana often has a sweet, smoky or unpleasant body odor. Chemical or metallic odors could indicate that the person inhaled a toxic household product, such as glue or paint thinner.

Observe the person’s mouth. Listen to their swallowing pattern and observe how their mouth moves. Salivation and lip smacking can be signs of dry mouth, which occurs with drug use.

Check the person’s vital signs. Pulse, breathing, body temperature, and blood pressure can all be affected by drug use. If you feel safe touching a stranger, you can take his or her pulse and check his or her temperature. Cold, sweaty skin is one of the signs of drug use.

Listen to the person’s way of speaking. A person who is high on drugs may talk too much or too quickly, or have trouble speaking. A person who stutters but doesn’t smell like alcohol may be in a high state. [10] X Research Source
- If the person you’re talking to seems to be having trouble concentrating or keeping up with the conversation, or they’re becoming unusually paranoid, mesmerized, or panicking, she may be high on drugs.

Observe the person’s movements. A person who is high on drugs may react slowly, or may not react to people and things around them. If a person is not in pain, it may be because they are high. Rapid deterioration of physical coordination can be a sign of drug use. [11] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/59/Tell-if-Someone-Is-High-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Tell- if-Someone-Is-High-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/59/Tell-if-Someone-Is- High-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Tell-if-Someone-Is-High-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Notice unusual or fluctuating energy. Depending on the drug, a person who is high can be excited, relaxed, anxious and agitated, elated, overconfident, or aggressive. You may observe unusual mood intensity, or rapid mood swings. If you know someone well, and she’s behaving differently, it could be a sign of drug use. [12] X Research Source

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/52/Tell-if-Someone-Is-High-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Tell-if-Someone- Is-High-Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/52/Tell-if-Someone-Is-High-Step-12.jpg/ v4-728px-Tell-if-Someone-Is-High-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Observe unusual behavior. If you know someone well, you can tell if that person is exhibiting unusual sociability, lack of inhibitions, poor judgment, or increased or decreased appetite or sex drive. Inappropriate laughter and excessive snacking are common signs of marijuana use. [13] X Research Source
- People with highly toxic opioids often hallucinate, see or feel things that aren’t real. Delirium, psychotic, or violent behavior may be due to drug use.
- Some people who are forced to take drugs seem to have undergone a complete personality change.
Advice
- None of the above symptoms alone is proof that a person is high. You should observe a combination of symptoms to confirm that someone is in a high state.
- Mental and physical impairments can mimic the effects of drugs. Stuttering, unusual movements, and mood swings can be caused by things other than drugs.
- If you are on good terms with someone, or if they need your help, you can ask him what he has used to directly detect if he is high.
Warning
- Confronting someone who is behaving erratically can be dangerous. You should avoid clashing with the person who is scaring you.
- Seek emergency medical help if you have any other reason to suspect that someone has overdosed on drugs or needs physical or psychological help as a result of drug use.
- Intervene if you have reason to believe someone has been coerced into taking medication. People who appear unusually intoxicated (e.g. too drunk but only had one drink) and/or are led somewhere else may have been drugged with Rohypnp, or “sexual abuse drugs.” [14] X Research Source Call 911 and/or the police or protect the area.
- Seek emergency medical help if someone faints, has trouble breathing, has a seizure or convulsion, or complains of pain or tightness in the chest. [15] X Trusted Source Mayo Clinic Go to Source
