ermitonto, surely a a deity such as the Christian God, being omnipotent, would be able to feel those emotions if he wanted to? Surely it would be a matter of willing himself to feel them?

Torog, of course there have been times when smoking has been a spiritual experience. But spirituality comes in all forms, all shapes and sizes. You and I may have experienced the same feeling while being baked, but you interpreted it as a connection with your God, where as I interpret it as an expanding of my conscious mind. A freeing of the constraints of my consciousness which lets me percieve the world around me in a completely different way. Experiencing this doesn't make me believe in God, but it does make me believe in the importance of the world around me, because when i'm high I can truely take in it's beauty.
