Blast Quote by Melvin Burgess
“Sometimes maybe you need an experience. The experience can be a person or it can be a drug. The experience opens a door that was there all the time but you never saw it. Or maybe it blasts you into outer space...All that negative stuff. All the pain...It just floted away from me, I just floated away from it...up and away...”

![“All experience is a drug experience. Whether it's mediated by our own [endogenous] drugs, or whether it's mediated by substances that we ingest that are found in plants, cognition, consciousness, the working of the brain, it's all a chemically mediated process. Life itself is a drug experience.” quote by Dennis McKenna](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/07c/dennis-mckenna-45259_biochemistry_all-experience-is-a-drug-experience-whet_3041642.jpg)
