Hmm. That's interesting. When the guys passed around the joints in my sophomore year in college I gave it a try. I got very, very concerned that I could not hold a thought. I would be thinking then I'd be gone for God knows how long. I'd come back, desperately try to have and hold on to another thought. I was sort of like Sisyphus.
