    Are drug dealers actually colouring meth blue to cash in on the popularity of Breaking Bad? As far as I know the show just made it up and real meth is never blue.

      rich white kids expect street drugs to look how they saw it on TV. it’s easier to add food coloring and close a sale than to explain you’re not shorting them, they just don’t know shit about fuck.

      It was the same idea of Aldous Huxley, writer of ‘brave new world’ and ‘doors of perception’.

      Huxley made a written request to his wife Laura for “LSD, 100 μg, intramuscular.” According to her account of his death[107] in This Timeless Moment, she obliged with an injection at 11:20 am and a second dose an hour later; Huxley died aged 69, at 5:20 pm PST on 22 November 1963.[108]

      Basically no one remembers his passing, though, look at the date. JFK was assassinated on the same day Huxley left the mortal plane on a trip, so the news was completely snowed under.

        if ever by some unlucky chance such a crevice of time should yawn in the solid substance of their distractions, there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon.
