Hypothetical Question: 3 Drugs to Represent the Drug Experience
So let's pretend that swiy is meeting a person, this person has never done any mind altering substance in their life, not even so much as a single drink, cigarette or cup of coffee. I guess they come from a land where drugs don't exist. Now they come to swiy, and tell you they want to research the whole concept of drugs and their home country has approved for them to try three different drugs. Any three drugs, but these three experiences are all they'll ever get to try for their entire life. What three drugs would swiy give this person?
Keep in mind this isn't a question, what are swiy's favorite three drugs. This is what three drugs do you think give the best and widest experience of the sum totality of drugs. That obscure research chemical that blasts swiy into deep space, that swiy loves but everyone else hates probably wouldn't be the right answer here. In contrast they'll never get to try any drugs again, so going with some herbal high probably is a missed opportunity.
Anyway here's what swim would give this person in this order
1) 12 pack of Heineken (beer if you don't know the brand). Setting: Local, low-key bar, filled with other drunk people on a weekend night.
2) 1 gram cocaine HCL, insufflated. Setting: Dance club, filled with lots of young, horny people.
3) 150 micrograms LSD, oral. Setting: Amusement park, science museum or some other fun place with a whole afternoon to spare.
Swim thinks this is a great sampler, its got a depressant, a stimulant and a hallucinigen. It has a drug that operates on the three major receptor sites GABA (alcohol), dopamine (coke) and serotonin (LSD). Swim was debating between alcohol and GHB, but decided no drug experience would be complete without someone get rip-roaringly drunk. Swim likes putting the drugs in this order, because the LSD would be great to reflect on the first two experiences.
