	My "friend" used to take Seldane for his allergies  -- he doesn't
take them anymore because he thinks that he has reprogrammed his immune
system with LSD.  Anyway,  he is on one of those health care plans where
he pays only $5 for ANY perscription.  So he can get three pills of
asprin for the same price as 2000 pills of Prozac,  so he tells his
doctor about this and gets his Seldane in one-year supply bottles,  and
after going into Lilly's +6 state,  he "holographically applies a coherent
conciousness quantum operator" to the IgG molecules in his body and reroutes
his "adergenic pathways" (Yes,  he is an official member of the church of
psychedelic technology) so that he doesn't need antihistamines any more
and has several hundreds tabs of Seldane left over.  I try to tell him that
if conciousness really does collapse the wave function,  it must be a
nonlinear operator,  which wipes out all the neat coherence effects,  but
he doesn't care (I DO,  because I study quantum mechanics).

	So one of these days he's looking in a directory of Prescription
drugs and finds Seldane and sees that one of the side effects of an
overdose in hallucinations.  Well,  anyway,  the overdose info for
Dextromethorphan looks about the same,  and his physical body has survived
two robo experiments.  (Though he thinks that people who like robo are
crazy -- he recalls watching Bill&Ted's Bogus journey and being really
depressed,  worried (like totally hand-in-the-air,  100% certified worried)
about spending eternity (not just zillions of years but ETERNITY!) in
hell with no chance of escape while roboed -- Also being too altered to
be able to work a stereo amplifier,  so he really HATES robo).  SO he
comes around interested in trying a deliberate overdose of Seldane.  I
was able to convince him that this was not a good idea,  and he ended up
trading the Seldane for some Dilatin with somebody who stole a bottle
of Dilatin from an abandoned building (which also had bottles of Prozac
and assorted Beta-blockers,  codeine,  percodan and a literal pharmacopipa
of stuff,  all perscribed for the same guy -- who probably died of
drug interactions and left food rotting in a refrigerator as well as five
old stand-up Space Invaders games,  a Space Wars,  a Solar Quest and a
Ripoff in a shed,  not to mention a badly rusted neon sign transformer
and and a cool sofa twenty miles from civilization.  Anyway,  ~his~
larcenous friend has really crummy medical insurance and wants antihisamines
and doesn't want any Dilatin,  so my friend trades his 300 Seldanes for
about 80 Dilatins,  and he wants to check out some of the outrageous
claims that people have made about ~THAT~.  I'll probably be able to talk
him out of that idea.  Maybe something will convince him that he's just too
psychoactive for his own good.
