You know it might just be that not everyone believes in a creator or that dope is a path to enlightenment and so, don't necessarily equate the "yeah...wow man" aspect of marijuana intoxication as a 'touched by god experience'.

It's all about interpretation. You use god as a vehicle to interpret your experiences, I do not. John Berger and Peter Luckmann wrote a lovely book called 'The Social Construction of Reality', if you are interested why people don't interpret their experiences the way you do, this book is a good place to start.

Different people interpret the same experience through their own histories and beliefs eg ~

I have a good friend who joined an evangelical church...she loved it and truly believes that she has experienced the presence of the holy spirit during 'praise' nights.

I went to a praise night, there is a lot of music, singing, swaying and clapping. It feels good, but I can get the same feeling of elation crowd surfing in the moshe pit and no one insists I call it 'god'. :jointsmile:
