Set and setting describes the context for psychoactive and particularly psychedelic drug experiences: one's mindset and the setting in which the user has the experience. This is especially relevant for psychedelic or hallucinogenic experiences.

The Fool Plus One Theory
Since most of you are not yet intimate with my idiopathic mind, let me
explain that I've been commissioned by SURFER Magazine to
formulate my general principles of self-aggrandizement. My
hypothesis is 180° opposite to present-day logic (The Fool Plus One
Theory); Quantum Waveriding being the prime factor in the equation.
As child prodigies sometimes do, I continue to discover my aptitude,
which has endured to this present moment. If you are willing to
accept the assertion that surfing is a colossal waste of time, then I'll
concede I've wasted my life. But in a better and more graceful manner
than any of my two-legged counterparts, no matter what the cost or
consequences.
As manifested in today's environment, it is extremely more
hazardous to compete with the five billion out-of-control human
beings endlessly copulating and howling to the gods of growth and
planned waste, rewarded with IOU paper promises to their
nonexistent Promised Land.
I’ve been globe-trotting since the age of three months. Getaway is
the name of the game, and I've been burning up the road ever since.
The flames are in my blood permanently.
I grew up in probably the most perfect climate in the world. In that
time dimension the California and Hawaii beaches were rarely used,
mostly wild, untamed and breathtaking.
It's hard for me to believe, but at the time of Christ (that's not even
one million days ago) there were only about 170 million people on
Earth. For over 1,000 years, the world's population stayed about the
same. Only near the turn of this century did the number of humans
start to become troublesome.
| Then, with the introduction of the massive credit system, which
gained momentum at the end of the fifties, unanimously endorsed by
the economists, politicians, professors and forecasters, the population
took off for the stratosphere.
Today, the world's population is out of control, raging like a prairie
fire. When will the finite limits of the globe suffer a cataclysmic collision
with a population gone wild? Will it take five, six or ten billion people?
It is all the evolution of the human race relentlessly approaching its
final destiny on this planet; a destiny which ultimately ignores the
futile efforts of those who think they are shaping the
world!
It's too awful for me to contemplate. When anthropologists look
back on the sixties, seventies and eighties, they will shudder in
disbelief.

TOP 10 FREAKOUT CLOTHES FOR GUYS
1. Anything vintage. Like fucking anything. As long as you got it at a thrift store, garage sale, your grandpa, whatever.
2. Jean jacket. If it has some 60s / 70s style patches on it and its all fucked up thats even better. Rip the sleeves off if you have a motorcycle or a van...
3. Band t-shirt. Ramones, Clash, some indie band no one has ever heard of (Gantez Warrior), pretty much anything besides rap or heavy metal is fine; unless you are wearing the rap or heavy metal t-shirt to be ironic, in which case thats cool too cuz the jokes on them, right?
4. Argyle socks, again preferably vintage and mis-matched. A pair of STANCE socks will work if you aren't going to an important art show or local music gig. Those are pretty freakout for just cruising around town.
5. RAY BAN Wayfarer sunglasses - every retro log D-Fin longboarder has a pair to wear at the beach. The ironic day-glow frogskin style thing works sometimes too. As a last resort, any glasses made by RAEN will get you by until you up your hipster game.
6. VANS shoes. The California Classics, like the ones they wore in the Dogtown movie. Or if you are more hardcore then Converse Chuck Taylors. Either of those and no one will even question your hipster status. But if you can't afford either of those (cuz they are like $45 a pair,) get some ZIGZAGS. They are only $17 bux and possibly even more freakout anyways.
7. Brixton Hat. Yeah, those fucking sailors captain hat things. Seriously, hipsters love 'em.
8. Vintage Levis. Any style Levis, especially the orange tag ones, worn pretty friggin tight. But this is the most important part: YOU HAVE TO EITHER ROLL THEM UP OR CUT THEM OFF ABOUT TWO INCHES ABOVE THE TOP OF YOUR SHOE! Its very important. It will keep them out of your fixie chain on the way to the coffee shop, and it will show off your cool socks.
9. A scarf or gloves. Or both if you are in New York or maybe just attending some super freakout art show. Plaids and earth tones preferred but black always works. Obviously vintage is preferred and the gloves should have the fingertips cut off to make it easier to light and smoke your American Spirits.
10. Large rimmed eyeglasses. "Horn-rimmed" whatever you want to call them - the pseudo-intellectual looking hipster ones. Now heres the best part; if you have perfect vision, just get clear ones. You are just that much more approachable while reading at the coffee shop. So fucking freakout.
