Hmmm...if that's true, then that would indicate a person isn't necessarily any more susceptible when stoned than when drunk.

Can you explain what you mean by vortices and spiral distortions?

Take a towel put it flat on a table. Put your hand on the towel. Then rotate your hand pushing down on the towel and see the towel get pulled in a vortex or spiral distortion.

There's sometimes this notion that hemp smokers are more spiritual than alcohol drinkers. But if we look at the past both alcohol and hemp have been used in religious rites to put a seer in a state where he can do his work.

So this also would indicate that there is no big difference between spiritual sensitivity of being drunk or stoned. In my opinion there is no difference between the states at all. If weed would increase ones spiritual abilities, I believe our youth culture would be filled with young Buddhas...

I dated a guy in college who always went to class stoned...and we were computer programming students! I tried it once, and never again! Whereas his mind comprehended technical data while stoned, mine just wanted to put on headphones and listen to Pink Floyd!

I'm one of those... I'm practically always tinkering on software after smoking. It doesn't always work mind you. If you exaggerate you tend to get a good laugh looking at your code later. But usually it just works. I never did show up in college under the influence of anything. The furthest I went was after a particularly nasty examination getting together with some fellow "victims" and smoke one for good luck.

Which eye are you referring to? The third eye? I have always understood that clear and unmoving was a good thing. Not a common thing but a good thing. One of those things you encounter in people who have been doing spiritual work for multiple lives.
