LIGHT IT. Mason, a former Marine and Vietnam Veteran from Missouri tells me he needs his medicine, crack cocaine, to help him heal his pain.

HIT IT. It was a nice day out and he mentioned something about the clouds. "The clouds be talkin' to you, you know," Mason said. I thought to myself the same would happen with me if I took the same medicine.

BLOW IT. During our brief encounter, I saw him take three hits. He took each hit as if it were going to be his last. Each time, he held it in deep and long, and then exhaled the intoxicating smoke. In this shot he inadvertently blew the smoke in my face and I ended up catching a contact high. The clouds began to speak.
