Sometimes when I am high I feel more attuned to the mechanical aspect of my brain. I feel like the transparency of my thoughts and how they are created is increased.

How can I explain?

The other day I was very stoned and I was studying economics. It was one of the better study sessions I have ever had, especially because I normally hate economics and I was very much enjoying it this time. I was looking at a graph, and I suddenly felt like my mind was reading it backwards, or upside down, or both. I don't mean to say that I didn't understand the graph, because I did. But for a split second it was like the part of my mind that was processing the visual information was doing everything backwards, or through a mirror.

Suddenly, it all went back to normal and I was left wondering whether two sides of my brain had just been fighting over dominance.

Now, I've never taken a biology class in my life, and I only took chemistry in high school, and I've never studied psychology or biochemistry or biopsychology, so I feel woefully under-qualified to make any assumptions, but the mind is a very fascinating thing, especially to itself.

Anybody ever have any experiences like this? Where they felt like for a second the veil was lifted and they were closer to the raw experience of thought than ever before? I don't imagine such an experience is limited to the intoxicated, so feel free to share any sober or stoned thoughts.
