Are travel companies promoting Drug Tourism?

Aaron

    Hello everybody, I apoligize for being  absent from the Poker Club for the last little bit. I didn’t really want to admit this, but the last few days I have horded myself up in my basement watching the Goosebumps’s TV series. I know that it isn’t very healthy, however it is probabley better than going out and doing drugs (maybe?).

      Anyhow, the other day I was searching the internet for some good trip ideas. Partially inspired by Paul Theroux’s The Old Patagonian Express , I began looking around at information on the Pan-American Highway. Now, I don’t plan on making that trip from Alaska to Chilie any time soon. However, I figured maybe there were other roadtrips around the States that may be more reasonable  for me to venture out  onto in the next few months. So, I poked around on the Lonely Planet website to garner some ideas, and I came across one that was, well, pretty “trippy”.  Is anyone wanting to traverse the “Peyote Road“? Isn’t this peculiar for a travel website to promote? See what you think.

The physical journey is only one part of the Great Road Trip of Life – taking a trip inside is often more rewarding than hitting the higway out of town. In some Native American cultures, a regular roadtrip on the soul’s metaphysical highway is a vital part of cultural life. They call it ‘taking the Peyote Road’.

The Peyote Road is a roadtrip like no other. You can travel far without leaving your home and see sights that no video camera could capture. The soul-food is cheap and you don’t have to worry about fuel. And of all the roadtrips in the world, this one is probably closer than any other to Dorothy’s epic roadtrip towards Oz and enlightenment.
