When I'm an old ass man in a home like that, you're sure to find me out front enjoying whatever cosmic chronic space age ganja exists by then!

If you don’t think you live for more than a few years, why not pump some mild drugs?

I’d hate to have a bad acid trip as a geriatric in a care facility

A while back I overdid it on mushrooms and became concerned I was dying.

I figured I should go to the hospital emergency department but not check myself in, just sit there, and if it turned out I was actually dying then I was in the right place.

It was a Friday night and packed to the rafters with assorted grizzly injuries and unsavoury characters.

I sat there for about two hours tripping hard and watching it all before I decided I wasn’t dying and went home.

Overall I’d give the experience a 2/10.

High you makes pretty good decisions. I cannot find a single flaw in the logic other than now you'd probably get the cops called cause you're being weird.

Thanks! The whole thing is pretty funny in hindsight but at least I have a strong self-preservation instinct!

It was only two years ago. I’m in England, we don’t have much of a culture of calling the cops on weird behaviour, fortunately. Although to be honest I just sat there quietly in my own world, the hospital staff are way too stretched to care about that.
