What is the definition of stoned immaculate?

Answer 1

Meaning: "intoxicated to the point of spiritual perfection or revelation"

"Stoned immaculate" is an iconic phrase of the hippy counter-culture, most commonly associated with (and possibly originating in) the Jim Morrison poem of the same name, recorded on the album "An American Prayer" released by The Doors in 1978, with the words recorded in 1969 and 1970 prior to Morrison's death in 1971.

The transcriptions of the words in that original context typically has "immaculate" in a separate sentence to represent the long pause in the recording i.e.

"Out here we is stoned. Immaculate"

There is an implication here that "we", the first person plural, has become a single entity through the deliberate use of "is" rather than "are". However, the most literal interpretation here is that the subject of the poem is both stoned (i.e. under the influence of an intoxicate - often, though not restricted to, marijuana) and immaculate (i.e. literally spotless or flawless but often used to indicate spiritual perfection or, specifically in the case of the Catholic Church, absence of the stain of Original Sin).

The running together of these two words in the title implies a causal relationship between these two ideas. It does not, however, mean perfectly stoned as has been suggested by a previous definition which would be implied by "immaculately stoned"

The meaning, therefore, of "stoned immaculate" is "intoxicated to the point of spiritual perfection or revelation" implying the attainment of a religious or spiritual goal through the use of drugs. This is consistent with the naming of Morrison's band "The Doors", which was named after the Aldous Huxley's book "The Doors of Perception" which advocates the pursuit of spiritual goals through psychedelic drug use.
