Of course you can't be sure. But then again, you can't be sure that insights
gained at 9.30am after 8 hours' sleep and a good breakfast are valid either,
can you? Not until you've assessed them and discussed them with other
people. I'm fairly sure that people on hallucinogenics talk lots of shit,
but probably have a lot of thoughts no less valid than when they're
straight. Same with sleep deprivation. As far as I'm concerned I try not to
be worried about what chemical state people were in when thoughts interacted
in a certain way in their minds, I'd rather have a quick look at those
thoughts and see whether they strike a chord or not.
