7. A Terrible Experience with Extremely Dangerous Drugs


Duke and Gonzo return to the Flamingo after shaking off Lucy. Now the question is would she remember the heinous acts that Gonzo persuaded her to do while she was on LSD? Duke takes a hit of Andrenochrome, which he later realizes he took way too much. He is totally paralyzed now; the first rush is the worst. Unable to move or talk, he listens to Nixon speak on the TV. The voice is hopelessly garbled, and Duke can only catch ‘Sacrifice…sacrifice…sacrifice…” Hours later, he is finally able to walk and talk, though not yet free of the drug’s grasp. The Drug Convention starts at noon the next day. Sitting in a crowd of 1500 cops, it goes without saying that Duke and Gonzo are twisted on every type of drug available. Listening to insane gibberish by ‘Drug Experts’, they cannot handle it anymore. Will they blow it? Will the cops realize there are intruders in their party? The action never stops in Las Vegas.
