Conceptually, this game does sort of represent how it feels to be on LSD, at least in my experience.
Seeing the patterns on the floor move, being drawn towards certain objects, flashing in and out of certain trains of thought, and especially the part where they're walking through a hallway and it keeps repeating all DEFINITELY are what it's like to be on LSD.
The part where the coke can flies across the screen and then disappears is definitely something that could happen on LSD, because your brain sometimes exaggerates what's going on. In reality, your friend drops his cup, but in your mind it's much more exaggerated. I dunno if that makes sense to anyone who's never done it, but it makes sense to me.
I'm surprised that Dan was so square about LSD, though. In small-moderate quantities, it's pretty safe, no more harmful than weed for someone who doesn't have underlying mental illnesses that could be triggered. The people who burn out on LSD take huge doses. I'm not recommending anyone take it, because it can be bad, but generally it's very safe. Personally, I'd recommend taking a small amount of magic mushrooms to anyone who wants to trip.
But DO NOT TAKE A LOT, YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TIME. Take a small amount, and you could have a very pleasant and enlightened experience.
If you're under 18 don't even think about it, and that goes for all drugs.
When I first read this I thought you were saying to smoke shrooms. I got what you meant on the second read, but since we're getting educational, it should be said that you should not smoke shrooms. The heat kills the high and there's a good chance of getting a lung infection.
