Well the Ketamine abuse explains the cartoon dogs.
What is Ketamine?

I tried this stuff back in 99’ at this club in Manhattan called “The Tunnel.”
As you walked into the main room by the first bar there were these metal tables to the left of the bar at a seating area. The reflection alone on the top of the table had me staring at every little intricacy it created.
Not my favorite drug, but made coming off X better.
