is the repetition of the last line a metaphorical comparison of the dependance of society on technology today versus the more natural lifestyle of the late nineteenth century
This is why you do your research before trying drugs.
I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.
You've tried weed once, you have no idea what weed is really like. You couldn't do from trying it once. If you smoked and went "Lol im stoned, so this is stoned lol" then think again. Not to promote weed. I'm just saying you haven't seen/expirenced anything. So don't think you have.
PS. Again, not to encourage the use of illegal (though decriminalized, sup California?) substances, but it gets easier the more you do it. Also, you don't have to smoke marijuana to get the effects, just ingesting it orally makes the high last longer and is a lot more intense.
PPS. Also, my first time getting high I had a horrible time and vowed never to do it again.
