Remember that guy with like weed?
And it was like, OK, so now I'm into it.
And I went to Zen and I was like, hey, listen, I like to smoke cigarettes while I write.
I'm off cigarettes now, but it's a habit.
So I need something, but if I smoke a joint, I'm done writing.
And so they go, oh, you want Mexican weed?
We're only here to get shit.
There was a city I was in when I did Ayahuasca, and it was a guy from the tourism board.
And he said, there's three cities that are on the border to the Amazon.
And you can go in from any one of them.
And they go, what's going to separate our city from all these other Amazonian cities?
And he goes, let's be the Ayahuasca city.
And everyone else on the tourism board said, no, we are not getting...
a bunch of fucking hippie backpackers in here to be drug addicts in our town.
Like that's not what we're looking for at all here.
