The Stoned Satirist’s Guide
Altered states lead to… interesting comedy. Here’s how to harness (or blame) substances for your writing.
Step 1: Embrace Stream of Consciousness
“What if clouds are government spies man… write that down”
Step 2: Find “Deep” Connections
“Dude… cereal is like capitalism – individual flakes in a milk pool”
Step 3: Trust the Process
“It’ll make sense tomorrow (spoiler: it won’t)”
Advanced Techniques
1. The “Revelation Tracking”
“Note which ideas still seem good when sober (none)”
2. The “Munchies Metaphor”
“Society is a bag of chips – we keep reaching for more but…”
3. The “Next-Day Editing”
“Turn ramblings into ‘absurdist commentary'”
Conclusion
The best satire comes from altered minds interpreting an already-altered reality.
