Heresy

[Daniel Cape]

Pot, which in recent years has beena bad buzz for me -- dysphoric,
paranoic (in the bad everybody'slaughingATme way) -- tends to lengthen
the long tail of a trip and bring back fading visuals. I just want THE
BIG SLEEP, no more wibblywobbly walls! The voices in my head SHUT UP!
Let me inside the quiet mind, o god please. This is the litany as the
sun rises per usual.
Valium = big tick. And booze. But preferably Valium as sometimes
taking drink when tripping feels like ingesting poison. Which it is,
natch...
YEah, bring on the diazepams and zopiclones and benzodiazepineapple
fringed cocktails and opioids during the long frayed tail of a trip
any day. O o and sunglasses. And a BIG jacket/blanket.
Oh and, silly, make sure you have all these essential tools BEFORE you

through the mind. What a lovely dramatic irony twould be. What
consternation in the face of the glowering publican and ragged regulrs
getting their first in pre-10am. How out of joint you are.
