I Drilled a Hole in My Own Skull to Stay High Forever
Joe Mellen is a 76-year-old former beatnik who turned on, tuned in, dropped out, and used an electric drill to make a hole in his skull.
“This is the story of how I came to drill a hole in my head to get permanently high.”
Joe Mellen is a well-preserved 76-year-old man, and—just in case you were wondering—seems much sharper and more intelligent than the majority of people I meet on a daily basis, regardless of their age or their proclivity for LSD. I’m not particularly looking for it, but I do notice a large, finger-tip sized indentation on the top of his head after we’ve been speaking for about an hour. He later reveals that this is the site of an earlier, only partially successful attempt to trepan with a hand tool. The location of his successful trepanation, carried out with an electric drill in 1970, just a few weeks before he wrote his book, is actually at the top of his forehead in a “third eye” brow chakra position. It is, however, completely unnoticeable, and he has to press it with a finger for me to see where it is.
