Acid Rain
What exactly is “acid rain”? Will I hallucinate if caught in such a rain?
———- from Wendell Pane of Detroit MI
Probably. It all depends on your sensitivity to hallucinogens and the acidity of the rain you find yourself caught in. Back in the ’30s, industrial pollution was virtually unchecked and rainfall caused massive hallucinations in an already depressed populace. You may recall people claimed they saw pennies from heaven falling from the sky and walked around holding their umbrellas upside down hoping to get out of debt. In the late ’60s , the counterculture types would often walk around with their mouths open during a thunderstorm hoping to catch a free “buzz” from the acid rain that fell on Woodstock or whatever place they were shacking up in at the time. Today’s acid rain is more acid than ever, but this increased acidity has meant a decrease in its hallucinogenic properties. It can, however, replace battery acid from your car’s battery and dissolves rust from metal in seconds. Your best bet these days: keep your mouth open while surfing the Internet. If you do it long enough, you’ll understand the connection between “Dark Side of the Moon” and “The Wizard of Oz.” Guaranteed.
