When you're high, or when you are in a constant state of "superconsciousness" I.E. advanced practitioners of meditation and yoga, you become aware of the present moment and realize that is all there is. That's why colors are brighter and food taste better, because you can truly "taste" it and you can truly "see" it for the first time. I remember one of the first times I was high I came to the realization that being high is like seeing things for the first time, and it truly is because you are in a higher state of consciousness.

Think about it.
I concur to this idea, and I'd like to expand it to state that it's also the reason that you forget what you just did, or what you were doing.

You're in the moment, and the more you're into that exact moment, the less you're into other moments, they don't concern you as much as the one you're enjoying NOW. I find that when I write lyrics when I'm really high, I have a difficult time because my entire focus is on *right now*, not what I did half a second ago, and not what I was looking to write half a second into the future.
