Isn’t it weird that one of the acceptable meanings for 下がる is “to get lower”, but “to get higher” isn’t one of the acceptable meanings for 上がる ? Unless there’s some nuance of the words here that I’m not getting. Are these words not equivalent in that way? Thanks.

Well, it doesn’t mean to smoke more weed than you already have.
