After the dentist

I won't lie. I laughed hard and for a long time when I first saw this. Shit, I laughed the first 20 times I saw this. Hell, I still laugh when I watch this. But...there is an element of sadness in it because while we all laugh at the poor kid's severe post-dentist mega-high, we (most people) hesitate to empathize with his situation. Being super high to the point of delusion and paranoia is scary for any adult but what must it feel like for a kid who doesn't even understand the notion of an altered-state of mind? You can hear the genuine fright in expressions like "I can't see anything", "is this going to be forever", "why is this happening to me?" and let's not forget the primitive scream of anger mixed with fear. All that said, it's good that these drugs can allow a child (or adult) a painless surgery and I'm sure he'll look back later and enjoy this forgotten memory. Hopefully this video won't haunt him throughout his teens and also lead him down a path of experimentation. It wouldn't surprise me if this kid was trying heavy mind expanding drugs in 10 years largely in part due to this video becoming such a large part of his life. Or maybe i'm just trippin
