"'What you need is a gramme of soma." pg 60
At this point, my best guess is that soma is a very illegal drug in our world. The motif of soma so far mentions that it takes away your pain from emotion. They also send you on trips that apparently last for days. Trips! Soma is acid. Case Closed. Anyway, the most peculiar aspect of this soma is that it's not just a few bad kids using it. This stuff is actually encouraged. My head cannot wrap around that because drugs are extremely frowned up in reality (where science does not rule the world. I would sincerely like to thank God for that, by the way). These people really believe that deleting wicked emotions from life will make pure happiness for everyone. So I'm wondering, what devastating event happened that caused the creation of soma?
