A pact made with the Devil—selling one’s soul in order to gain power, knowledge, wealth, beauty, youth, or some other desired goal. The theme is an old one: one may gain short-term delights, but the Devil comes to collect in the end. One must eventually ‘pay the piper’ – bear the consequences.

An euphemism used to describe marijuana. Specifically, a kind of marijuana that detaches you from the outside world and feelings that AREN'T happiness or overall satisfaction. This is a kind of weed that will make you dissociate from everything around you, turning you into a LITERAL couch potato as you metamorph into the absolute greatest vibe in the room for the next twelve hours.

With some firewood, butter and vegetable oil on a stove, no less.
The name is in reference to the German legendary figure "Faust", who had struck a deal with the devil to trade off his soul and virtue in exchange for a plethora of worldly pleasures.

A Faustian Rubix is a menagerie of multiple things that if engaged within the wrong way have the effect not unlike being on the wrong end of a deal with the devil. It is also said to be a situation in which a person makes multiple incorrect assumptions or accusations of a person, which over time destroys their credibility and makes them a laughing stock. Attempting to solve a Faustian Rubix is a definition of such a situation.
Alternatively, it could also mean a creative wellspring of ideas that never seems to end, or with a perfectionist streak. Some of these ideas may have a dark undertone or sinister twist.

The author's mind was a Faustian Rubix of ideas..all manner, shape and size. When they finally got finished, the end result was sinister but satisfying.
