8)Sometimes we convince ourselves that our change is maturity. But the mind unreels throughout our entire life. Thoughts and actions preceding our current states are merely stepping stones. We never stop expanding the limits of our personal universe. The first mistake I made with drugs, which on the light side of things isn’t as bad as some mistakes that can be had with certain substances, came from my overwhelming desire to explain the unknown, rationalize, attach spiritual awakenings, all that jazz that comes from an overwhelmingly beautiful trip. Sometimes you just have to enjoy the ride.
I hate to say it’s not the destination, it’s the journey. I believe both are counterparts, whether we like it or not. Sometimes we search and we may try drugs for that very reason, it’s something new. Our mind wants to try it because either something is missing, why not, it’s free, or well- you know...
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN/A FLASHBACK: After trying some bud, which I learned to smoke from a water bottle like a pro, the fine art of my then freshman ingenuity or rather resourcefulness to a freshman’s cheap nature, the next drugs I came across were ecstasy and Ketamine. Oh, House of Blues, A.C., DB concert.
I remember vividly, at one point during the show the left stage blue light standing out in my mind. Indescribable, probably unbelievable, yet undoubtedly I rationalized my obsession with the light. I was processing the color as a taste. If only I had written down the sensation I could describe it.
Needless to say I was intrigued. It led me to try, respectively, acid, dmt, doi, shrooms and the combination of such drugs with the earlier three. Oh, and I started keeping a journal- took a while to get the hang of drawing when the ink disappears from the page but I’m getting better and I usually write/draw on the come downs. I even have my friends add. What better things to do when chilling in hotels after shows?
A WANDERING MIND LET BACK:
Without recollection of the true reason, let alone a purpose, it seems that my drug use spawned from sheer boredom, an artist’s curious mind, the fact that it was so predominant in the concert scene and was provided easily (and thanks to good connections presumably the safest/cleanest I could get). I could list more but I’d rather get to the good part. Reporting. Get ready for the good stuff kiddies-I’m observant, descriptive, and won’t shy away from the truth, good and bad. Still somewhat new, yet quite experienced, let me tell you a story…or two-
