December. Snow is falling. Eggnog is flowing. And you're having a festive, old-fashioned family holiday. At the center of it all, festooned in twinkling lights and glittering baubles, there is a glorious Christmas tree—one that never dries out, never drops needles, never doesn't quite fit in the corner of the living room. This sublime experience could be yours, if only you'd let go of your mawkish delusions about real Christmas trees and heed these two words: Go artificial. |

| These ideas will have them testing limits, exploring options near and far, and, at the very least, trying something new. |

One day in November of 2019, the comedian Gary Gulman was scrolling on his phone when a Tweet caught his attention. Jason Zinoman, the comedy critic for the New York Times, had posed a relatively innocuous question to his followers: "What stand-up have you liked that is about class (however you want to define it)?" The prompt intrigued Gulman. He realized couldn't think of a comedian who'd built a whole act around socio-economic status. George Carlin had touched on the topic, certainly, with riffs about how the ruling class operates to keep themselves on top. And plenty of comedians had made fun of rich people for being out of touch or joked about being poor themselves. "But I hadn't seen anybody who made the entire hour about class," says Gulman. "And I thought, 'Oh, that's it! That's a great area.' And then I just started." |

It doesn't take a third eye to see that, at long last, Americans seem primed to turn on. If you've heard yourself utter the phrase "plant medicine" when what you mean is "shrooms," if you've found yourself absently Googling "ayahuasca retreats" the way you used to look for beach getaways, if you've got a friend who flew across the country to take a "heroic dose" of psilocybin in the care of a shaman and you felt the sharp prick of jealousy…you are, well, hardly alone. I'm one of those looking for a little magic. Twenty-five years ago I left my somewhat steady diet of mushrooms, blotter, and MDMA behind me (kids, career, fear I'd been pushing my luck). But lately, along with the rest of America, I've been itching to hop back on the psychedelic horse after years of looking longingly at the saddle. I am here to test-drive the Reality Center, but also to catch a glimpse of the coming storefront psychedelic revolution. |
