Just trying to be sober while on psychedelics is like acting

[Echocat]

That acid taking effect dispriction was perfect. Love it

[YoungYahtz]

Damn I never thought I’d hear Sammy talk about doin Lucy. The way he describes it all let’s me know he’s not lying either. Just another reason to love this dude

[LordwiceAsReal]

I can see Samuel L. Jackson on acid yelling at random people like SAY WHAT AGAIN! 😂😂🤣🤣

[BeatsWithHooks]

Hahaha hilarious. Samuel one of the greats!

[Jordanime]

Any acid user knows how crazy an idea this is. The last thing you'd want to do during a trip is perform in front of an audience.
EDIT: I adore how much attention this comment has gotten. Lot of passionate acid users out there.

"Ooohhh... There's going to be a problem tonight "


🤣🤣🤣😂

He is one of the best actors of all time.

Shrooms make me feel like I'm strapped to a rocketship and just along for the ride, LSD feels like I'm in the control room. The difference is arguably small yet relative. For anxiety purposes, I prefer LSD

[Theneweastwood]

Now that’s real right there! And we like real!

[AnthonySmith-bmzb]

I got a friend who can only cry when he's on acid...
That's the only time his emotions can come to surface.

[OsKarMike]

I can't even pretend I'm myself on acid, let alone another character in a play

[formalbug]

Acid. The make you or break you drug lol.

[NewMessage]

His degree is in 'Motherf*ckin' Acting'.

[ngallardo]

That was literally my transition from being anti-drug in high school to now.
Tried marijuana, loved it, first thought was how do I get my hands on LSD which is probably also awesome.

[kurtispopp]

This is just like me before my 12 hour shift at Arby's.

[undesireablefashion]

YES! Acid is amazing, if you allow it to be. Ego death leads to the realization that we are all one. It sounds cliche, but it's absolutely how you feel.

[meeeeeeeeeeeep]

This is hilarious!!!! I love Samuel, he's such a fantastic actor 😂❤

[danf]

Sam L Jackson is simply one of the coolest actors in Hollywood, I'd watch any movie he's in.

[KhorBaPeaceComesFromWithin]

I now have a newfound respect for Samuel L Jackson
