" how am i supposed to know when that kicks in? "
how long will it take to kick in?
if i had a fucking penny for every time someone who is not well versed in the world of substances and otherworldly experiences through the influence of chemicals that make your brain feel funny and the pictures on the wall begin to stare just a little too intently, then it begins to feel like someone is looking into your soul without your consent . . . anyways.
my mind had begun to wander until the dude next to me began to fidget, waiting on my answer. i clear my throat and bring myself back down to gravity to give this twat an answer so he can prevent himself from losing it when things begin to look a little funny.
❝ it is lsd, bro. lysergic acid diethylamide - it can take anywhere from twenty minutes to a couple hours to begin to effect 'ya. so sit down, shut the fuck up, 'n don't fight it when you begin to lose it. just let it take 'ya wherever it's going to take 'ya. trust me, it is easier that way. i learned the hard way about that one. ❜
i have a seat next to him on the curb of estevan's main street. not the best place to drop acid for the first time, i will admit that. he is brave. i am braver, because when i turn my head to give him a look as if to silently ask myself: is he doing alright?
he turns to me with dilated eyes, and i realize that it's been thirty minutes since he dosed and that shit is beginning to take shape, whether he realizes it or not. it is manifesting within his reality, and it is doing so v e r y quickly.
❝ you should get the fuck outta' here 'n go somewhere safe, man. you're beginning to lose it behind those eyes, i can tell. ❜
