Yeah, I do it with a controlled dose from my vape and a cup or two of coffee. You want to ease into the hippie speedball so you can still maintain focus on the text while getting the contemplative boost of the high. This means not getting ripped loke you're still in freshman year which I know is beyond most of you.

If you're not using a bougie vape like me, you can do what I did when I was a poorfag and distribute your marijuana into a small spliff which you smoke with your book either outdoors or in the bath. Alternately if you want to avoid tobacco entirely (and you are advised to, though this method is slightly inferior) you can simply pack a bowl with about half as much as you usually use.

As a final note, I usually enjoy reading accessible works like essays while high but there are exceptions, like Plato's Dialogues or Moby Dick which are greatly enhanced. However something like Infinite Jest or War and Peace is to be avoided - anything with many characters is an absolute chore while stoned.

Good post other than the fact that you definitely haven't read Marx because if you did you'd know his view on Jews is nothing like you imply. Actually, what the hell does "trying to insert the Jewish people into a European intellectual system that has no need, place, or even want for them" even mean? Both Freud and Marx were Atheists, and their theories both view all religion as inconsequential, and barely touch on Judaism in particular. I don't know about Freud, but the few times Marx mentions Judaism he generally doesn't have the nicest things to say about it anyway.

>I want The Great Mining Novel, that explores man's relationship with the earth, trespassing below to steal coal and metal, but it seems like either this is it or it doesn't exist
Perfectly put anon, perfectly put. May God shine His wisdom upon you, that you may write it one day.

PE

I had a dream that a girl I spent some time with in college wrote me an email to tell me I had a meaningful impact on her life. It was maybe the most concrete dream I have ever had—I could even remember it word-for-word when I woke up. I've forgotten it by now, but I checked my email when I woke up to make sure there was nothing there. I even checked my school email, but it has been deactivated for years. I miss her and I miss the vertigo of early love. Leigh.
