Now he's talking to a caller about Mescaline.

Aldous Huxley loved the stuff at first, based on this quote. "If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution-then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise."

"How significant is the enormous heightening, under mescalin, of the perception of color." Huxley


This guy on the line named Theodore sounds like a space cadet, and he'll be back after the break.
