Purpose?  Emphasis, like the title of a book (or a statute), and...

The Miracle of the Joint in the Plaza:
(206.4) other states of mind all at once seemed possible [...] all from the 
same bag of [...] "extremely potent" Vietnamese buds [...] brought in by 
somebody's brother in the service.

The conflict in Vietnam exerts its karmic magic.  No hiding your head in 
the sand anymore.  Consciousness sneaks in through the back door, almost 
accidentally.  Vietnam, so absent in the pages of VL, is the genesis of the 
new era breaking, but so indirectly that the exact chain of events is hard 
to trace by "the authorities."
