Answer 3

That's a phrase first heard in the United States during the latter half of the 1960s, during which there was a virtual avalanche of illicit drug use and much public discussion of same. There were a goodly number of young people - adolescents to college-age, who tried to couch the resultant public discussion in philosophical terms, thus to justify the widening abuse of drugs. "Getting high" was said to be a reasonable alternative to the prevalent lifestyle of conspicuous consumerism and it's accompanying emotional and physical upset. The most famous of these arguments was summerized in the phrase "Turn on, tune in and drop out." Getting "high" on marijuana, LSD and other perception-altering drugs was the "turn on" portion of this phrase. "Tune in" meant to withdraw from the reality around you, and "drop out" meant to simply ignore that reality in favor of such things as the hallucinations resulting from LSD or the desentitizing effects of marijuana. There was, of course, a counter-culture to this "hippy counter-culture movement" in the form of conservatives and Christians, and this was their reply to the Tune in mantra - I don't need drugs! I get high simply by living my life clean (of drugs and "sin") and working hard. I am high on life itsself!"
