Yes, of course, and,  the pot or acid flight (and Flight in Song of
Solomon is both The Flying African folk tale that can Pilot/Pilate
Home and the Greek Myth Icarus that can jump off No Mercy Hospital or
fly into the Sun/Son of the Christian God), while it can open the mind
to time out of media mind, out of Zappings of the Tube and Thanatoid
addictions and Sloth, can also retard the memory and cripple the
natural reveries and dreams of flight, and even fog the up the chances
of sharing experiences with one or more others.
