In this context it refers to a state of pleasant intoxication or a state of stimulation or overstimulation. It's often associated with alcohol, caffeine, marijuana etc. but can also be used when stimulation occurs from other forms of euphoria or when describing a particular ambience.

Hi guys,

Where I live, I've never heard the expression used this way for a person. Instead of 'I'm buzzing', for example after I drink some beer, what I've heard is 'I've got a buzz (on)'.

There's also the expression for speed, 'I was buzzing down the highway at 160 km/hr.' And for leaving, 'I have to buzz' or even 'Buzz off' meaning 'Go away'.

Best wishes, Clive

And if 'people are buzzing' about something, that topic is the object of much gossip and discussion.
