Altered Perception Page #4

I'm going to go grab a shower.

Steve.

[sighs]

Hey, Reese.

Hey, yeah, I just want

to make sure we're still

on for tomorrow night.

Yeah.

OK, sorry, where did we say

that we were meeting again?

Right, The Cantina.

OK, well, I'll just see

you tomorrow night then.

All right, I'll see you then.

Did you disclose

to the couples what

this drug was supposed to do?

Yes.

We did a full

work-up on everyone.

And we disclosed all

the relevant information

that we deemed necessary.

That you deemed necessary.

So you didn't get a

fully-informed consent

from the participants

of your study,

and they went in blind

to the side effects

they were possibly exposed to.

Meaning, if they had any known

psychological issues that

would be negatively

affected by this drug,

they wouldn't necessarily

disclose that to you.

So that you could then

intervene and prohibit

what was happening

right under your nose.

No, sir.

None of the participants had

any known psychological issues!

No, you mean diagnosed.

Yeah, what about undiagnosed?

Thank you.

Some of these medical

questions are way too personal.

Oh, you mean, like sexually

transmitted diseases?

Exactly.

Like someone's really

going to write down,

yeah, I had the clap once.

It's actually for

liability purposes.

That way if you don't

disclose something now,

if there are

complications later,

then the company won't

be held liable for it.

Just because they

asked us the question.

What exactly is this drug

supposed to do again?

It's supposed to give you

insight into thinking to see

where you have misconceptions.

They should just

legalize shrooms.

It's funny that you say that.

The government's

actually been testing

different types

of hallucinogenics

and other psychotropic

substances for years.

A.k.a.

drugs.

You can just say drugs, honey.

Because I don't think

anybody understands.

Well, I was speaking about

specific drugs, honey.

They've been trying

to utilize some

of the therapeutic

benefits instead

of the mind-altering aspects.

In other words, taking

all the fun out of it.

You know, I actually heard

that they're supposed

to inject you in the eye.

What?

No, that's not true.

No, I heard that.

Yeah, she knows.

I doubt that very serious.

OK, but it's what I heard.

OK.

The compound's called

diethylphenyl tryptavine,

also known as DPT.

You'll be the first

clinical patients to try it.

And as I mentioned

before, it's critical

that you post your

video diaries daily.

It will let us know any changes

you might be experiencing.

Here you go, doctor.

Thank you.

So just put your

hand forward, please.

Wait, you're not actually

going to stick that in my eye?
