Is the Irish mafie like the italian (sicillian) mafia, but instead of guns, they use alcohol and fists? lol

These 9 drawings were done by an artist under the influence of LSD -- part of a test conducted by the US government during it's dalliance with psychotomimetic drugs in the late 1950's. The artist was given a dose of LSD 25 and free access to an activity box full of crayons and pencils. His subject is the medico that jabbed him.

First drawing is done 20 minutes after the first dose (50ug)

An attending doctor observes - Patient chooses to start drawing with charcoal.

The subject of the experiment reports - 'Condition normal... no effect from the drug yet'.

>>>>>>>>>> Yeah, right! The guys got a box of crayons and a shitload of colored-pencils, and he chooses to use the stuff you throw kerosene on.

LOL: 2 hours 32 minutes after first dose.

Patient seems gripped by his pad of paper.

'I'll do a drawing in one flourish... without stopping... one line, no break!'

"And then I'll do a line coke in one swoop...without stopping...one line, no break"

Patient tries to climb into activity box, and is generally agitated - responds slowly to the suggestion he might like to draw some more.

COULDN'T EVEN FINISH HALF THAT SENTENCE!!!

4 hours 25 minutes after first dose.

Patient retreated to the bunk, spending approximately 2 hours lying, waving his hands in the air.

>>>>>>>> Ahhhhhhh, If he only had a cigarette and a mirror.

This one kicked in like a hand grenade:

'I can feel my knees again, I think it's starting to wear off. This is a pretty good drawing - this pencil is mighty hard to hold' - (he is holding a crayon).

Finally the guy realizes what a fuck-up he's been for the past eight-hours:

'I have nothing to say about this last drawing, it is bad and uninteresting, I want to go home now.'

Man, that had to have been the most fun I have ever had, thanks, buddymyfriend.
