Hmm.

Well. I know when I smoke the filters or blocks that are normally up come down and I experience things in a different mind state, especially at night when I am alone and there are no distractions to my thoughts.

Its not that the mj creates an illusion or a lie, because when I am not high the things I noticed when I am high are still true, and I ask myself why didnt I notice these things when not high? Mostly things of a spiritual nature.

So in a way I see it as a way to connect to the non-physical reality of this world that is often clouded, fogged or conditioned into us by our single dimensional way of experiencing things.

Consciousness exists on many levels within the universe.

I think it unlocks those intuitutive abilitites to connect with non-physical reality. It is reality on another dimension that we are conditioned to ignore.

I smoke for other reasons as well.
