  I’d believe it. One time at a concert we all did acid and molly. At a certain point I needed to go down the stairs to another level, but as I attempted to go down, there was an usher telling me I couldn’t go downstairs. So I said “Oh, sorry, my bad” and walked away. A few minutes later, my friends come find me and walk me down that same staircase, and the usher said nothing, which I thought was odd.

  It was later after sobering up that my friends told me that what actually happened was I had walked right up to the usher, stared intensely at them for a solid minute, before saying “Oh, sorry, my bad” and walking off.

  Another time, I had a buddy get incredibly high and was trying to run to the police station up the street because we were “mind controlling him”, and then later that evening after calming him down, was watching porn and having conversations with the actors as if they were speaking directly to him. Not even masturbating, mind you, just watching porn to converse with them.

  Drugs are a hell of a drug.

  It’s amazing what you can do when a single plant strike costs in the neighborhood of $50 million/day. I’m a salaried worker at one of the Big 3, and even though we’re not union, we got some very nice bonuses out of this too. The 401k match, improved health insurance benefits, and raises all around.

  I’ll be the first to complain about some of the more negative aspects of the UAW, but like anything else there are going to be people who abuse it, but it’s worth it for the huge benefits to everyone else in the industry.
