English term or phrase: I got high
Sé lo que significa esta expresión, pero, ¿cuál sería la mejor forma de expresarlo? ¿Me drogué? ¿Me metí?
Gracias de antemano.

i got high
Me pegué un subidón [de alucine]


Explanation:
Me pegué un subidón de alucine

Me dio el subidón

Aunque ya he dado mi aquiescencia a “colocarse”, “me coloqué”... si la traducción es para España, también incluyo otro par de opciones, que pueden funcionar, según el contexto.

(Mis opciones son para España, cada zona hispana tendrá sus usos y costumbres, por eso es muy importante dar algo de contexto e indicar para dónde es la traducción...)

Me dio el subidón... me pillé un subidón de alucine...

http://www.onsalus.com/diccionario/subidon/26772

Me puse hasta arriba de [nombre de la droga]

Me di un chute/chutazo de [nombre de la droga]

Suerte. [Y di “No” a la droga... por tu propia supervivencia y la de los que te rodean...]

Flipé, aluciné...me dí un pasadón etc..


Explanation:
Lo de "colocón" es lo más usado en España, aunque como dicen los colegas, todo depende de la zona y sobre todo del país...
