During a casual night out, a chance encounter with a new acquaintance took an unexpected turn as he embarked on an impassioned discourse about the chemical composition of various medications. As the group transitioned from one bar to the next, the individual, introduced through a mutual friend, seized the opportunity to, without relent or any pauses, expound upon his theory that certain medications are “technically just meth.”
Despite attempts to steer the conversation toward lighter topics, the man persisted in elucidating his not-even-that-unconventional perspective, citing purported similarities in molecular structures and physiological effects. His animated monologue left fellow conversation participants, a.k.a. only me, not bemused nor bewildered, but just bored.
As the night progressed, the group navigated through a labyrinth of topics, with the man’s unconventional insights adding an unexpected twist to the evening’s festivities.
