Downside Up
An amateur caught in this situation might attempt to think things out rationally.
Their boots, they might reason, must simply have been glued to the ceiling.

And that doesn’t make any kind of rational sense at all.
It’s little tells like this that the seasoned hallucinogenist quickly learns to live by.
