Knowd Wrong part 1

I've been wondering about this image since first seeing it. Help me out. What does this mean? Why is "Knowd Wrong part 2" 'better'?

It has something to do with this fact,

Yes, your picture is the crux of part 2. Someone has drawn a smiley face on the subject with a crayon- 'That's better!'

PS it's a person who's 'knowd wrong'. A large dose of acid might help you understand.

No need for the acid,

And what about the head(s). There is something funny, should I be thinking obscene?

The person is all screwed-up, head included. But in part 2 he has a nice happy smiley face, so everything's OK.

PS my previous post has been edited.

No, I mean to experience being 'knowd wrong' yourself.

It is a self-portrait?

To be honest, I've only experienced that sort of thing on a small scale.

Might is the operative word.

There is no reason to assume that people perceive similarly to you in the day to day, so why assume that when you twist your head upside out they will perceive similarly?

The effects of hallucinogens are wide and varied. Some themes do tend to prevail, but there is no recognisable way of predicting which will or will not in a given case. Brain chemistry, brain architecture, cultural awareness, perceptiveness, acuity... all these things and more will determine what you allow yourself to show yourself. Do you have the balls to look deep into the smoke and keep on staring until you see? Know this, whatever you see, it is you through and through.

The whole thing is about perception. In this case the guy is perceiving his body being twisted etc in strange ways, and perhaps even the observer is seeing something weird taking place. Of course his body is not actually all screwed up. The suggestion that it is is just to spook (ignorant) people.

I'm not suggesting this happens on every trip. But it has happened to me to a small extent once or twice and could happen to anyone, be they on drugs or not.

Ofcourse the body is not screwed up, who said it was?

And no, it can't happen without drugs.

The only reason that drugs work is because they are chemically similar enough to the drugs that your own brain produces.

If you hallucinate 'without taking drugs' it is because your brain is releasing its equivalents; the most commonly experienced being during sleep.

You just contradicted yourself.

Of course it's physically possible without drugs.

Your own brain produces drugs. Your day-to-day experience is one long sustained hallucination ordered in line with sensory data. Drugs are responsible for the production of this hallucination.

Please quote two contradictory statements.

I've never used meth. Is this the place to ask about this? What is it like?

You yourself strongly suggested that 'drugs' means chemicals deliberately introduced into the body and not for nourishment, which is a good definition according to my Drugs Across Cultures uni course. It's in these two statements:

If you can't see it then I'm sorry to say but you're a poor philologist.

It's like the buzz you get from smoking a strong cigarette if you haven't smoked for a long time, but cleaner, stronger and much longer lasting. No head spin/sickness either. But the comedown/hangover's a bitch.

Please inform me if you need 'scare quotes' and their usage within english language explaining to you.
