Perfectly Poisonous Person
unfortunately the alcohol also effects one's perception of their own behavior
I've seen quite a few DRUNK (Obliterated) persons who believed themselves to be Cassanova incarnate when intoxicated
On a related note: I have a friend whose parents would have parties with their friends that included lots of marijuana. She observed that as they got stoned they would say things in a way sounded very profound, except she found the statements very idiotic.
Her experience of watching her stoned parents and their friends has made her staunchly anti-pot.
I'm kind of the same way. But I did not observe others to get that impressive, it was myself. I spent a couple weeks of my freshman year of college smoking dope. I learned a few things:
1) I seem to be allergic to it (like I am to most anything), itchy, itchy, itchy!
2) It makes me stupid... something I do not like.
3) It is not a good thing to sleep in after a wild weekend during midterms... I found out about upcoming tests when they were put in front of me in class because I finally showed up later in the week.
4) The only time I actually understood the last part of the movie "2001, A Space Odyssey" was when I was stoned.
