I was into Miami Vice and stuff like that. So I stood out and was kind of a goofball. So people knew me, and also there weren't that many black kids, maybe 11 kids in my high school. I grew up in a small town, so you just kind of grew up with the same people from preschool, elementary, and junior high.

It was like The Lost Boys, only half of them were girls, and we all got along together. And I had an amazing crew of friends that were super unusually good looking. I was mostly gravitating toward that kind of music because I love the darkness of it very much. Cocteau Twins is a huge, huge one for me, and The Sundays. I was a huge New Waver, kind of goth industrial kid. Then, like 16 everything changed: The Cure, The B-52s, The Smithereens, Human League. I loved that type of rock, Night Ranger and Aerosmith. Those songs are just very American, you know? I was so fortunate to grow up in the '80s - it was the most ideal time to be in the interior of the United States.

I loved, loved music and art, engineering, and science. I was pretty curious, kind of a goofball. "I feel very fortunate that I got to experience marijuana with a group of friends and getting high for the first time next to a really beautiful Costa Rican exchange student." "I couldn't have chosen better circumstances for any of my drug experiences," Watts tells Inverse of his teenage drug experiences. It aims to demystify and destigmatize the use of hallucinogens with hilarious tripping stories, goofy reenactments out of an '80s after-school special, and good old-fashioned scientific rigor. Watts is also one of the subjects of the new Netflix documentary Have a Good Trip: Adventures in Psychedelics. He envisions Watts App as a way to get back to the core intent of social media: bringing people together for a shared experience, rather than using the illusion of connection to harvest personal data. The musician, comedian, actor, writer, and bandleader on CBS's Late Late Show with James Corden recently launched his own iOS app.
