Pot opens everything up. All the anxieties, the creepy crawly blues, it just drifts away and you can slowly remember what it was like to be alive.

There is no people on earth that does not have some mechanism for temporarily transcending the vicissitudes of daily life. Whether they utilize fasting, coffee, prayer, peyote, dance, marijuana, song, alcohol, kief, yage, nicotine, ayahuasca, cocoa- leaf, betel nut, or inhale the effluent from their steam-iron, the common denominator is that every culture uses something in its pursuit of spiritual balm. I would argue that such a ubiquitous practice be considered a basic part of human nature. Attempts to thwart such a fundamental impulse are futile and as bound to fail, as trying to stem the tides.
Cocaine increases growth in the part of the brain which controls higher functions such as planning and decision making.
The focal point of the episode is first and foremost the drug trip. Remember kids: getting high is fun! But only if you're watching somebody else get high. And only if you have the opportunity to see into their mind. And only if you get to bend reality as they do. And there are no guns or knives around. So I guess what I'm saying is, do drugs and dance like a monkey.
