Why is James Joyce so god damned difficult to read? Seriously, how high was he when he wrote his books?

If he was so high, then why are his works so deep?

I know how you feel,i have to keep google open to look up his constant references to saints,playwrights,songs and cultural figures that i had never knew existed.Everytime he references something so obscure i think hes going to explain it in the following setence but he just goes on.I wonder if people in ireland understood this shit at the time it came out.
