Beginning with another take on a life altering mescaline trip of an ordinary college student in the early 1970s, this experience is more characteristic of the young people of those times than first meets the eye. One could safely refer to this trip as a collective epidemic of toxic psychosis among a generation of youth. It is plain to see that Shadow has an hallucinogenic experience, and we are provided with more observations about the life and times of a person who has become a chronic schizophrenic because of a trauma to his mind. Few experience such a dynamic change in the course of their early lives, and few can fathom the ramifications of such a life shattering event.
