In my opinion, there's MUCH too much monologue. This would work better with saying less and showing more.

You might consider incorporating flashbacks to his former life instead of talking so much about it. Then re-use some of those images toward the end to convey the idea that it might be a fantasy when he's high.

I think it's a good concept, but could use some work.
 
Love the synopsis lol, reminds me of this time I was repelling down mount vesuvius and suddenly i slipped and I start to fall, i mean i'm about to die, just falling, i'll never forget the terror. and then suddenly i remember, holy shit, hansel? haven't you been smoking peyote for six straight days and couldn't some of this maybe be in your mind? and it was! i was totally fine. I've never even been to mount vesuvius!
