There is most definetely a correlation between pot and philosophy, or rather pot and philosophical thought. Like the guy above me said, altering your perception allows you to contemplate what perception is, and then you can apply this style of thinking to other stuff (existence and form of God, what the spirit is and what its purpose is, and so on and so forth).

BTW, I'm reading Hume now, and there's an awesome quote I was shown in class today that I have to share:

"This world, for aught he knows, is very faulty and imperfect, compared to a superior standard; and was only the first rude essay of some infant deity who afterwards abandoned it, ashamed of his lame performance: It is the work only of some dependant, inferior deity, and is the object of derision to his superiors: It is the production of old age and dotage in some superannuated deity; and ever since his death has run on at adventures, from the first impulse and active force which it recieved from him..."- Philo to Cleanthes, Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion by David Hume.
