Now, the silence between them was the kind where both knew exactly what caused it, and it almost felt like a bad joke, even though it wasn't.
"White magic is used by doctors of course, not this format of it, but it works too. If you take a little of it, it will not pump up your heart but rather slow it down, putting you in this euphoria-like feeling and also helping to relax. You're not going to be high or drugged up, but just chill, like if it was greenweed." Mike explained as he held the bag closer. "Just trust me, James. I know what I am talking about."

Even though none of it made sense in James's mind, he reached out, dipped his pinky, and did it… placed it under his tongue.
