Sometimes I wish I was still in college when my weed smoking friends would consider anything with a subtle or not so subtle reference to pot as art. This photo would be considered awesome. I only find it mildly interesting because I don't smoke pot and/or I'm not 19.
In college, several friends performed some very non-scientific studies to see which improved intellectual performance better, pot or alcohol. After many C's and D's on term papers done late under the influence, it was determined that booze wins. You can actually get some good ideas on the sauce, but the paper will need some heavy editing in the morning. Stone induced writing reads like a masterpiece under the influence but melts to gibberish in the morning light. As mentioned today on Gaping Void, both lose out to staying in and creating while sober.
Once, I got into an enormous fight with a friend who adamantly stated that if pot makes pizza taste better, then the pizza is better. I believed that the quality of pizza is a constant, and only the perception changes. This is just a juvenile reduction of the eternal philosophical question; does truth (and thus possibly God) exist, or is it all just random sensory input? I'd like to note to some friends who assume I'm an atheist that I sided with the belief in a stable reality (and thus possibly God) and not the selfish "the world ceases to exist when I close my eyes." There's a current wave of vocal atheists, lead by Christopher Hitchens, who claim it's incredibly selfish to assume there is a master creator who cares just about little old you. I'd like to counter that it's also rather selfish to assume that the universe ends the day you day…and that the essence of the pizza is improve solely by your own personal hunger.
These are the types of rants delivered by weed smoking college student, which is why I don't smoke and after some though, I don't miss college at all.
I do miss the High Street subway stop that would put me very close to home
