Can "high" play the role of a conditional?

Question

It probably would make a lot more sense and be a lot more entertaining high, which is probably the best way to watch it.

I'd like to know answers on the following two questions.
1. Does "high" play the role of a conditional?
2. In the "which" relative clause, Is "probably the best way to watch it" the subject and is "high" the complement?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Something has gone wrong with the sentence. It does not make proper sense.

If you are high (in a drug-altered state), "it" would make more sense and be more entertaining. In fact, being high is probably how you should be to watch it.

Oh yeah, sorry, you're right, I didn't think of that ...

Thank you both, GPY and BabaraPA, for your very helpful answer.

Then, can I take it that "high" plays the role of a conditional and in the "which" relative clause, "high" is the subject?

I must say, you do have some strangely twisted ways of looking at grammar.

Yes, I guess you could say that. "if the person watching the movie is high". Yes.

In the relative clause, "the best way to watch it" is the subject, and "high" is the complement, just as you say, except "probably" is a sentential adverb, not part of the subject or the complement.

Thank you, Mr.Jim for your very valuable answer.

I must say, you do have some strangely twisted ways of looking at grammar.

I'd much like to know what you mean by the above sentence. Please~

1. It probably would make a lot more sense and be a lot more entertaining high, which is probably the best way to watch it.
2. It probably would make a lot more sense and be a lot more entertaining if you are high. and the best way to watch it is probably is being high.

Then I'd like to know whether I can rephrase #1 to #2?

Think of it being said with a big smile. You come up with unusual and creative ways of analyzing English grammar — ways that most other students would never think of — ways that even most native speakers would never think of. It leaves us puzzled sometimes, but it shows you're really thinking, which is a good thing.

Yes, that's right. I would make only a few minor changes.

It probably would make a lot more sense and be a lot more entertaining if you were high (while watching it), so the best way to watch it is probably when you're high.

I'd like to know one more thing.

It probably would make a lot more sense and be a lot more entertaining high, which is probably the best way to watch it.

I was wondering if I can replace "which" with "as."
