Psychotic Reaction

Leroy is walkin and hummin ‘Timmy the Turtle’, then the following happened.

“Is that the Mighty Mighty Bosstones that you’re singing?”

“No, It’s NoFX.”

“I think it’s the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.”

“I don’t know. You might be right.”

“Hi, welcome to Starbucks. What would you like?”

“Do you serve crack?”

The guy behind the register hesitated a moment and said, “I don’t think so. But that’s a great way to wake up in the morning before work.”

“That’s fine. Then I might come back later…”

The guy behind the register looked towards the other guy.

 “I’ll take a coffee.”

Ten minutes later Leroy and Mike were sitting outside Starbucks smoking cigarettes.

“If you really think about it. It makes sense.”

“Ok. Explain it again.”

“Let’s say I’m walking into the bathroom, singing a song like ‘Girls Turn 18 Every Day’ by the Vandals… and it’s real funny. You know it’s funny. But there’s no one around you whose there laughing.

What’s happening is, your life, and that moment in time, is actually a scene in a movie for a whole civilization of people who’s watching your life as a movie. But they don’t know it’s a movie that happens to be your life. And that it’s real. Or that the government doesn’t give a shit about it. And you don’t know your life, as well as other people, are living lives that happen to be movies in another dimensions.

I’m not saying that your life is not real or artificial… It’s just a fragment of time in another dimension. You might as well say another galaxy. It’s like God’s infinite way of interconnectedness and trying to be funny. Kind of like what Lewis Carroll was saying about looking through the Looking Glass. (Being in the other side of the mirror). So while you think you’re in one side of the mirror; you’re actually in the other.

“Ok, I think I got it,” said Mike.

He took a sip from his coffee. Leroy was drinking a water.

“So in Amsterdam… It’s legal there?”

“It’s legal, but it’s not 100% percent legal. I mean you can’t just be walking down the street and smoking a joint.”

Mike took a drag from his cigarette.

“I think if all drugs were legal, there would be a lot more peace and a lot less crime in the world. If you really think about it, that’s really the one void that’s present in our times. People don’t have free access to drugs. And the government instead perpetuates the shitty situation we’re in with our phony drug war.

The DEA and the government aren’t really against drugs; they’re against free thought. If all drugs made you intoxicated or sedated; they’d be legal.

I mean, those are the kind of drugs that are legal.

The problem is (for them), is that a lot of drugs, especially the hallucinogenic ones, let you think. I mean, really think. They can awake you. And let you see what’s actually goin on in the world. And they don’t want that. (Those that are in power do not want you to know and understand what’s happening). They don’t want you to wake up out of semi-unconsciousness, (i.e. brainwash). They don’t want you to get pulled out of sleep and enter the Matrix. They don’t want you to question authority. And that’s what can happen if you’re on some drugs. You get a different perspective on things.

Basically, they know if enough people really saw through the bullshit game that they’re playing… which is called ‘Corruption’, and it would be the end for them.

The end of their piggy bank lifestyle, their Scrooge McDuck million dollar luxury and parties of chardonnay. Face it. It’s the Power Elite who govern the rest of us. And they have possession of all our drugs. And our freedom. And they don’t want either of em’.

As long as enough people are tuned out and are clueless about what’s happening; nothing is going to change. Which is sad. Because I truly believe that drugs, and especially psychedelics, are the golden gate to enlightenment, evolution and real progress.

But I’m not too worried about it though. I think it’ll all happen at the right time.

I mean LSD was actually made accidentally; 30 years before Haight Ashbury & the Sixties. Albert Hoffman was attempting to make a better pain reliever for women in child birth but later while riding his bike home, he realized he was tripping off of his Lysergic acid diethylamide. That, for me, is a little too much of a coincidence.
It’s just a shame what we’re missing out on; legalized spiritual discovery. But instead we have television.”

“So what was that song you were talking about?”

“Girls Turn 18 Every Day.”
