[ excerpt from Morning Coffee with Kirby in Control Room ]
What I dream about are specific Coffee Shops that operate openly as places you can try various potions, poisons, concoctions, other toxins. Yes, they're modeled on opium dens to some extent, but they're not clones of one another either.
Those operating these establishments are well trained (in theory at least) and psychologically attuned to the needs and wants of their customers, but they're also up on medical science.
These coffee shops may be like a health club in being
membership based, and like bars in exercising their rights to eighty-six
specific people, based on their track record. Like a video rental shop
(remember those?), they may have a record of customer orders (as do the
streaming services). They may be highly regulated.
If you're the kind of cowboy who jacks up on some substance, then starts brawls on a regular basis, don't be too amazed if your membership fob (or key) stops opening doors at specific establishments. Operators have the right to ban access, just as they have the right to ban firearms on private premises (like hotels), perhaps checked into a safe or locker (retrieve when you check out).
