Had one of those epiphany moments...

...when stoned and immediately forgot what it was.

Anyone recognise this? I'll be honest it feels a slight bit frustrating but at the same time quite good fun.

The first and only time I tried to "candy flip," aka LSD + MDMA, the MDMA turned out to be meth (20 year old me, stupid stupid stupid). At the end of the trip I kept figuring out the meaning of life and forgetting it, to the point where eventually I realized I was simply cracked up from the drugs and went to bed.

I think this experience is a hallmark of doing drugs. Do any of them for long enough and you'll have everything in your life totally solved at some point while absolutely out of your gourd. And then you sober up and can't remember what the fuss was about to begin with. You consider that maybe the Chinese were on to something with wu wei, anyhow...

Couple of decades ago I wrote a paragraph or two for my dissertation, while pretty drunk. It felt like the words and logical reasonings were just pouring out of me, it went great!

The next morning, with a slight hangover, I read what I wrote. Complete garbage, utterly nonsense.

I learned something valuable, right there and then.

The illusion of perception is very strong. So strong, in fact, that ones reality floats on it.

It is quite good fun listening to conversations while sober of those around you that are tripping. The mind blowing conversation being had between the spunyuns is usually chuckle fuel for the sober person trying their hardest to follow along with the seemingly unconnected string of words.

I haven't entirely had an epiphany moment but I have written down ramblings while stoned and tripping. Sometimes it has its merits and other times I question what I was even thinking to end up with that conclusion.

But... Context is everything, and sometimes you just had to be in that right place, at the right time, with the right kind of eyes.
