Written by Jack Nicholson, directed by Roger Corman. Available free at YouTube.<br /><br />Worst. Movie. Ever. Made.<br /><br />Well, one of the worst. Hilariously bad.<br /><br />I came of age in the 60s/70s and I "experimented" with hallucinogens. Not for long, though. Had some good experiences and some scary experiences. Very scary. So I quit. Eventually quit drinking too. I do occasionally miss the mushrooms, sort of. Mushrooms were always harmless, at least to me, and after throwing up or enduring stomach cramps from the strychnine fuzz. The other stuff -- too dangerous. Anyway, getting stoned is for douchebags.

The kids who would have joined them have been sidelined in fake professions and industries where they work on virtual pseudo achievements. No wonder so many are suckers for fake experiences of all kinds. <br /><br />Real things, real work are the hated enemy of this society. buwayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388691837737324814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-28953073422669684722016-09-15T17:26:21.982-05:002016-09-15T17:26:21.982-05:00"Just a few words about radiant inner self, I..."Just a few words about radiant inner self, Indian mystics, South America, jungle, and (most important) popular in New York City and they're away. ...'<br /><br />You know, there are plenty of things to do in this world that are more original and interesting than this.
