Cadillac Man and I spoke of it the other day and I told him straight-up I was a bit defensive of the idea of reefer being an escape as it doesn't escape one damn thing, if anything it imparts a greater awareness and makes me keenly sensitive to the number of people who really don't want a greater awareness. It's scary, crazy, or so.
Nevertheless, there's only one reality for anyone and that's the Observer. Psychologists like to split the Observer into multiple parts so, in effect, they can be observers of your Observer but psychologists cry a lot. Be careful with them.
There's never any more than you watching the movie and which parts of it are real is largely irrelevant as all of them are, none of them are, really it's some combination ... it makes no difference to the central Observer unless they prevent you from continuing your observation.
The world it goes nowhere
while Richard Branson combs his hair
and Tom Jones sings, "Oh, Delilah."
The kids just play with toys,
they grow but stay girls and boys,
and in the end the band's still playing.
The Conductor had two words,
"Be British," was all they heard.
And so they met the water.
Reality took all kinds of shifts with the Titanic yet people cling so determinedly to a concrete reality while saying anyone who questions it is trying to escape. Not really as the escape is from the question and not from any objective reality, that comes the same to everyone when you sink in the ice-cold Atlantic.
The only constant to any objective reality is that it changes and the only constant to anything is that you get to watch. How well you watch and how much you see is why reefer but it doesn't escape in any way that most people will never understand it.
A conversation in which no-one asks questions is just someone giving a speech. So is life.

2 quotes I have always lived my life by,
"Never wish time away"
"Only the body grows old"
Given to me as a kid in Cali by a wonderful all knowing neighbor.
Your brother
The 'wonderful all-knowing neighbor in Cali' is a puzzle but maybe that will come to me at three in the morning.
I'm not sure if 'dream big, it just might happen' makes it clear that nothing will happen if you sit there dreaming, that a dream is effectively an order.
Maybe it will jog your memory that he had six guns, meaning type not number.
Makes me think Hopalong Cassidy. I really have no idea. The only one with a gun I remember was Officer Whitehead. He's a good guy and maybe he still is as he wasn't that much older.
