I dont feel connected to nature when Im stoned, I tend to feel connected to everything, especially pets. My pet cat Chloe will come and sit on my lap when Im stoned, and when she looks up at me its like we understand eachother completely. If Im about to go and get a drink and she comes to sit on my lap, she will wait on the arm of the sofa until I come back, get comfy and then she will sit on my lap. If she sits somewhere where its uncomfortable for me, she will instantly know and move. I dont have this connection when sober, just stoned.
Or maybe its the cannabis melting our brains and turning us into nutters who can talk to 'spirits' at will. Who cares, either way its fun.
