One good television program and the issues it brings up are enough to spark a long conversation, but I find most of my friends get too baked to have the 'Philosopher's Stone" and talk about such explorative ideas and concepts. The best high conversation I ever had was several years ago when a friend and I smoked weed as well as used an unmentionable substance and just sat in the near dark on a couch for hours talking about every topic from my first sentence above. I still like to recall it (we recorded the entire thing and listened the next day), even though it will never have the magic it did while it was occuring. In retrospect the unmentionable substance was almost completely irrelevant to the way we felt and the way our thoughts both connected and allowed us to ask truly meaningful questions, followed by sharing our answers, which both were really only part of the range of possible answers but binded together to create an understanding deeper than either of us could have reached just thinking alone. That magic was all weed. It made me particularly comfortable to learn, after that night, that I was capable of such truly captivating conversations with that friend even without the use of any intoxicants. I doubt I would have discovered it had we not done what we did, though.
This post has an oddly gay undertone to it.
