Sorry if this has been done before.

I was just wondering if anyone here has had some philosophical experiences on drugs. I'm thinking hallucinagens (LSD, mushrooms, those sorts of drugs) but if you've got something to share about other drugs go right ahead.

I had what I thought was a very profound philosophical experience on a drug called AMT. Unfortuneatly because I had work the next morning I couldn't really reflect on the experience the next morning and subsequently much was forgotten. But I was coming up with all these wierd questions about life, and these questions were firing out of my brain like bullets out of an assault riffle.

There is one thing I thought about that stuck in my mind for one reason or another though. The concept of owning land seemed like a bunch of bullshit too me at the time. I had never really thought about it, but it seems kind of wack that if a person owns a piece of land they are allowed legally to kick you off that property. How can it be that parts of the world are off limits unless given permission?

Now that I'm in my sober mind I realize that many problems can occur if you just let people walk around your house, and that we've set up a pretty good system of keeping people sheltered and having a place to sleep, though it could still be much improved I think. However I still do think from a philosophical standpoint the concept of property is rediculous.

Well anyways I just wanted to see if anyone here can share some crazy philosophical debates one might have had while in a different state of mind. The reason I even mention drugs in this topic is because I truely feel that hallucinagens spark philosophical thinking.
