Any which way you interpret being 'high'....including stoned-out-of-one's-mind stupid! I think one can perceive being high as leading to both the states that you mention above -- so, however, you think the 'high' manifests (assuming you think it exists).

Also, just to clarify, it's meant as a fun poll -- I didn't mean to distract from it by mentioning what current T told me. I only gave it as an example of other kinds of 'high' (so, folks don't get stuck on the definition of it only being artificially induced) although of course, everyone is free to comment on what she said as well.

(And, with that I believe I've achieved a new high in making a post convoluted.)
