#13 I disagree. Most mind-altering substances have the potential to impact a persons' inhibitions. I could think terrible things about, or, say a judge, but discretion and maturity have taught me those thoughts would not bewise to express to said judge, as I'd rather not serve jail time and/or pay a fine for contempt.
However, I'm fully aware of the thoughts...should I get drunk or stoned when said judge is around and I say some thing I later come to regret, my subconcious has not come into play at all. I just used poor judgment, consumed a substance that turned off my own internal filter, etc.
In fact, unless I'm mistaken, booze and dope tend to release mainly those thought of which you're fully cognizant. You share those thought at a time and/or place that turns out to be unwise...well, such thoughts were never in your subconcious. Using my own example, it's not like I harbor a poor opinion of things the judge may do. Those thoughts are certainly not just suddenly making an appearance in my brian.
