Marijuana

I have a theory, I think when you're stoned non-verbal communication becomes instinctual. I was smoking with a deaf girl the other day and this happened:
At first I spoke with her and she could read my lips. But as I spoke and the weed kicked in, she began to just smile and nod yes or no. I began to speak, with shorter words and more thoughtfulness. Then, a curious thing occurred, because I stopped talking and started staring, she looked right back at me. However, the conversation was on-going. The more we smoked the more intense the conversation became until eventually I started kissing her and taking bong hits.






Can you see what I mean? Was it due to the weed? Or is there a separate moral to this story? I'm open to suggestions, but until then I'll recommend one to myself: if she's around and hears not a sound I'll smoke us a blunt, just to show me how, life's not meaningless without sound.
