Shane Highlights the Lowlights of his experiences with psychedelics, and how what started as fun, mind-expanding trips eventually spiraled into full-blown delusions and psychological breakdowns. We get into believing he was telepathically communicating with Roger Waters, why he had to create a “no time travel” rule for his own house, thinking he hacked the White House with his mind, and being hospitalized twice after becoming convinced he had trapped the president’s brain inside his own. From psych ward stays to losing his grip on reality, Shane opens up about the darkest and wildest moments of his journey with psychedelics.
