So when is this?

This weekend?

- This weekend.

- All right.

Oh my god. It feels amazing.

Are you ready?

It smells great.

This is f***ing amazing.

This is gonna be nice

on mushrooms.

So uh, we have to go through...

You see right there?

- Down there?

- Yeah.

So I guess I'll put my

backpack up here for a second.

Help you up if you want.

And we'll go

straight down there.

Ow, that wasn't good.

I'll let you guys hit

the piles afterwards

so you can help out now

even out a little bit more.

We doing this all together?

That's a big f***ing...

It is a big one.

Big bastard.

I'm takin' the big

kahuna right here.

Look at these two.

This big one is gonna hurt.

They're so big and nasty.

You still haven't

eaten all of yours?

No.

Better get 'em down.

Takin' my time.

F*** you guys.

The only thing I got

to say about it is:

F***ing retarded, dude.

I expected come out

here and you know,

and chill in the f***in'

cave with y'all

and you gotta always take

sh*t to the extreme.

Why are you always acting

like you're better than us?

I wouldn't came out here if I

thought I was better than you.

Always act like you're smarter

and the more mature one

because you don't

get f***ed up.

Um 'cause I don't

wanna get retarded

and wanna trip in

caves. I'm sorry.

We're just havin' a good time.

If that's your idea

of a good time

then f***in' more power to you,

but I'm not gonna be helpin' you

out when you're trippin' around,

f***in' fallin' on

rocks and sh*t.

I'm not doing that

again so you can...

- Don't do it then.

- I'm not.

You didn't have to come.

Dude, I'll be out then.

That's all you gotta say.

F***. Gimme my f***in'

flash light then.

- See ya.

- F*** you.

I'm f***ing not doing

this sh*t again.

Are you just gonna go back

and sit in the car?

P*ssy.

F*** both of you.

Can't even make a

smooth f***in' exit.

Shut the f*** up.

I got your keys too, dick.

Donnie!

You're such an a**hole.

No. You can't just

let him leave.

I'm sick of his sh*t.

Why don't you just stay with us?

- No, I'm...

- He's a big boy.

Maybe eventually he'll get the

hint that no one is after him.

Well, I'm after him 'cause I'm

not gonna let him sit there.

Sit down.

C'mon.

Hey! Sit!

James?

James?!

Oh my god.

Sara. Sara!

You all right?

We're going right now, all right?

We're gonna get you out of here.

When you're introduced to LSD

and unless you've

taken some other drug,

for instance, like marijuana,

you know it's an all

together new thing.

You actually can have a

religious experience.

And it can be even

more important

than reading the bible

like 6 six times,

or becoming a pope, or

something like that.

The one thing that

happens when you

explore psychedelics

is that um,

you have a sense that there

are a lot of other options

and other possibilities,

other forms of consciousness,

dimensions of reality,

and like what we're

living in is not...

I think the function of

awareness can go into the past,

the future, or the

hidden present equally.

Why? Because when you go

into an altered state,

you go beyond the framework

of space and time.

Those locations to which

one makes a pilgrimage,

they are spaces containing

the meeting of worlds

and standing on those

intersections one may be

in both worlds at

the same time.

Hello.

Hey, are you at school?

No I'm still at home actually.

Oh. Why?

Well, do you wanna roll?

We have some E pills.

Who are you with?

Scott, James,

Jamie, you know...

Everyone?

Yeah.

You have E pills?

Yeah.

That might help my

mood a little bit.

Yeah, definitely. I'll make

sure you have a good time.

All right, yeah. Then

maybe I'll come over.

I'll leave soon.

All right. Awesome.

All right. Bye.

If you can stand it, putting it

up your butt is pretty intense.

You curl up in the fetal

position for like a half hour

and just wanna kill yourself.

And then you take a

sh*t and it hurts.

But then you're f***ed up.

So, it's a Vicks thing but

instead of sniffing it, you

turn it around and

there are little holes

so you put your

mouth over the holes

and you blow the

medicine into his eyes

and rub his head at

the same time

and it pretty much

feels like heaven.

Less talk, more Vicks.

It's gonna be really strong,

the first one. -Good.

Jesus Christ.

I'm f***ed up.

Wow!

I can't see. I can't see!

Oh my god!

You ever had sex on

a roof period?

You ever have-ooh

boy, you don't know

what you're missing, man...

I f***ed that girl Leah

on Brent's roof one time

and that sh*t was just like...

Hey! There's downtown

Baltimore City!

It was the most amazing

f***in' thing I ever did!

The view is better

than the p*ssy.

I f***in'...

You know, I had a week

or two where I just

keep coming up with sh*t

that I really like.

And then I'll have like 3 months

when there's like nothing there

because it's like I'm not

doing anything right...

This is like too

f***ing intense.

I need to go like f***ing rub my

face with ice or something.

I'm f***ing sweating

and sobbing.

Are we still going to the roof?

No, but yeah.

Oh, since everyone's on

sexstasy, I brought condoms.

Jamie can do his condom trick.

Spermicide burns really bad.

So it's gonna hurt.

Dude, that looks like

ice cream.

That tasted really bad.

Aren't you cold?

No. Are you cold?

- It's raining outside.

- So? It's nice out.

Nice?! Are you serious?

What are you reading?

What are you reading?

- Books.

- Books.

It's just something for school.

I've been sitting out

here all day.

Reading that.

How depressing.

School work and rain.

It's not depressing at all.

- You are cold.

- I'm not cold.

Yes you are.

Come here. Let me hug you.

I'll warm you up.

So like, I wanted to

like talk to you.

I guess tonight would be a

good nice since I'm here.

OK?

OK well, you're

still f***ing James.

So what am I suppose to do? Just

stop hanging out with James?

Do you have a territory problem?

This is the first time in my

life that I've been able to do

whatever is I want to do and

not feel guilty about it.

And not feel like

someone is judging me.

Like the further this goes,

the more I get feelings and...

So what, are we just supposed

to stop hanging out then?

I don't wanna stop hanging out.

I don't want to cause problems

between you and one of your friends

that you've known for

such a long time... -F*** James!

Hey, I'm sorry. Don't

give me that look.

Can we do that stuff now?

- Are you serious?

- Yes.

It will take like two minutes.

I really, like I really wish

that I thought that

you could understand.

I don't really know what

to say. I mean...

You know everything that I've

been thinking about going

through I can never turn off.

It's, it's good. It's a good

thing. It's not a bad thing.

There is nothing

scary about this.

I am piecing

everything together.

Everything.

This is something that

is happening to me.

Holy sh*t!

Whoah!

This doesn't make any sense.
