Grass Roots - Michael - Mission Details:

Michael agrees to try out Barry's marijuana and hallucinates Aliens.

Michael meets with Barry, an advocate for the legalisation of marijuana, in Legion Square. Barry starts talking about how the vote to legalise marijuana was rigged and offers Michael a joint. Michael initially refuses, saying he's not a drug guy, but Barry persuades him after explaining the benefits of it.

Once Michael takes a drag, Barry tells him he does get concerned about the 'monsters' but he's sure they're nothing too serious and that he doesn't let them get near.

Michael vision and hearing starts to haze and Aliens start to appear out of nowhere. He is suddenly holding a minigun to take out the aliens.

Don't let any of the aliens get too close to Michael as they're attempting to abduct him. If they're successful, he'll fly high in the air and get dropped to the ground, killing him and failing the mission.

Once the last of the aliens are deal with, Michael comes down from his 'high'. He asks Barry what just happened but Barry just shrugged it off saying they discussed many topics. Michael asks Barry to stay away from him and leaves.
