I'm like, okay, I got to get out of here.

And then we walked up to Second Avenue and we saw like a bunch of Puerto Rican kids killing one of their, it was like a gang kind of, it was more of a druggy kind of, I mean, Manhattan back then was kind of dangerous in the East Village.

And they killed one of them on the hood of the car in front of our eyes.

We saw it.

And I said, do you see this thing?

And then they resurrected him.

They gave him mouth-to-mouth, and the guy was fine again.

And we walked past, and we were not sure anymore what we were seeing.

And this was a very strong hallucination.

And then we saw a full-blown racial riot on 2nd Avenue.

People were smashing in taxi windows, pulling the drivers out.

It was like a GTA.

Grand Theft Auto.

Right, it was like that.

So most of this is basically hallucinating.

I think so, yeah.

But it felt real.

It felt totally real.

And so I was happy when this trip was over because I thought I have gone insane, basically.

I thought like there was a switch in my brain that had been like something, like I have now a chemical imbalance in my brain.
