Excuse me? Doctor? If you have a moment?
A moment? What's the question?
More of a situation, a gentleman in exam three
What's the problem?
That is the problem, we're not sure
You got the chart?
Right here
Not much here is that?
No doctor, no obvious physical trauma, mm, vitals are stable
Name?
No, sir
Did someone drop him off? Maybe we could speak to them
Let's get some background on this fella
No ID, nothing, and he won't speak to anybody
Well, let's say hello
Good morning, I'm Dr. Lawson, how are you today?
How are you today?
Look son, you're in a safe place
We wanna help in whatever way we can
But you need to talk to us
We can't help you otherwise
What's happened? Tell me everything

    It is not Dr. Lawson. It is Dr. Wasson, Robert Gordon Wasson. Who did research on Magic Mushrooms and even wrote a book with Albert Hoffman and Carl A. P. Ruck titled "The Road to Eleusis: Unveiling the Secret of the Mysteries".

    It's simple. Guy talks about being abducted by aliens in Rosetta Stoned. Hoffman invented Acid Guys vitals are stable, so he's clearly not high or in a former state of being high. They're blaming it on acid even though he's not high.

    Blame Hoffman.

    Rosetta Stoned is the guy explaining what happened to him to the doctor, most likely.

    It's a lead up to Rosetta Stoned. It seems to be the story of one troubled guy.

    a pacient who don´t to talk ..good music , good noise in the back ..strange song .. o.O

    so , the big question is what is the person of the history ..and why he do not talk .. maybe afraid of the hospital ..of medical failures ..or he just is on a good trip or something ..

    But wait, Rosetta stoned is interpreted to be a story of a guy high on DMT. A line from this song is "Nurse: No Doctor, no obvious physical trauma, vitals are stable."

    I'm no experts on drugs, but I'm sure if he was high on something everything would'nt be normal, and they could easily point out that he was high ands that's why he was acting all weird. Maybe there's some other mesage hidden here.

    But it's called Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman). Abbie Hoffman was the inventor of LSD...

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
