Well, whatever.
GR is a lot trippier than IV.
I'm completely confused as to why IV is called by some a "marijuana 
noir" or even a "noir."
 From Slow Learner:
"I put on hornrimmed sunglasses at night. I went to parties in lofts 
where girls wore strange attire. I was hugely tickled by all forms of 
marijuana humor, though the talk back then was in inverse relation to 
the availability of that useful substance."
