Suffice it to say that he was a douchebag on Gateway ( no, his suppressed homosexuality does not excuse him beating another human being) but one of his trips, despite making him rich, really messes with his mind.

Is it deep or just playing with childhood trauma, relationship issues, and making fun of psychiatry.
