Being in love is intoxicating. It really is. You lose all your senses. Excitement is everywhere. Feelings leave you elated beyond self control. Drugged out of your mind.

It's like you've had 10 shots of vodka when you haven't even touched alcohol. It's like you just had a joint when you haven't even lit anything. It's like dancing for hours on end on the dancefloor when you haven't even put on your dancing shoes.

But it makes me wonder.

If you're already intoxicated, and you add a hallucinogen, how does that mess with your mind?

Would the double dose of it help?
Would it confuse you?
Would you know what is real and what isn't?
Would you be feeling stimulants from the intoxication of feelings or intoxication of the hallucinogen?

There will be no such thing as sobriety any more, now would it.

So when you stop the hallucinogen, and you're only intoxicated, how long till you wake up and realize that you were only hallucinating?

How would you really know?
