New regulations allow for it.


Scientists are taking a new look at hallucinogens, which became taboo among regulators after enthusiasts like Timothy Leary promoted them in the 1960s with the slogan “Turn on, tune in, drop out.” Now, using rigorous protocols and safeguards, scientists have won permission to study once again the drugs’ potential for treating mental problems and illuminating the nature of consciousness.

What do you turn on, when you turn on?

Ok, you need to flesh out that story a bit...
Club life is an interesting endeavor.


Sometimes things are what they're supposed to be. Sometimes you find out days later what was actually in your system :D

But that one instance alone of watching a very good friend of mine, atheist as all get out, throwing furniture at his roomate and calling him demon really helped form my opinions on ye ole PCP. Fvcker seriously thought satan was after him.

I wasn't even around for the car ride TO the house. That sounded even more fun.

No way dude. I terrified of hallucinogens, I know I would be seeing some fvcked up stuff. Kind of like the guy Kidwoo talks about.
Meh


Mostly jut THAT hallucinogen you need to worry about. Seeing ****ed up stuff is how you find out if you believe in unicorns or not.
