I watched this kind of crappy National Geographic special on drugs from a series called "Taboos." They looked at two traditional cultures that use psychedelics in religious ritual, and at urban ravers. I think they were kind of facile about the comparisons, but it made me think, all the same. Our club years were our formative years, and our experiences on X were just as authentically our cultural coming of age ritual.
