aren't you lucky what about a thought for those that are or have a kid to

look after for life? it is always about " you " isn't it?

 

Did we ever get as far as finding out your real name?

 

> you find the rock, I turn them over.

 

Actually a far more accurate metaphor would be, I found out how heavy the

rocks were and saw all these people weight down by carrying them all

their lives and decide to be free of all that and get on.

 

> the only pusher I have ever met was my father

 

" got any baccy ... "

" got any roll ups ... "

" fancy a puff ... "

" spliff ? "

" go on have one ... "

" black hash ... "

" let's just have quick spliff before we do this ... "

" sorted ? "

" got any? "

" e ? "

" where's me stash ? "

[ offers assembled crowd a grubby little sucked on roll of paper ]

 

i am sorry to come in heavy but that statement was as dishonest as the

one about " it " being grown all over England, refering to an entirely

different crop as someone rightly pointed out.

 

you are bullshitting. you cant hang out in the underground, music

business or it seems anywhere else with have constant " push technology "

stuff down your throat by dopeheads. it just appears that your dad and

his sherry drinking friends are pushers because you have signed up for

one conformity and they for another. but from the outside both parties

are just as sadly confirmist, lugging round their crutches for life. just

like tobacco smokers you are deny non-smokers their rights. [ and how

many dopers end up on that wagon too? ]

 

and it angers me because over the last say ten years, dopeheads have been

*the* one single biggest obstacle to the commercialisation of industrial

hemp which I agree is an amazing crop from a nutritious to

econo-political points of view. and how many of them could actually put

together a business plan and get up every morning to farm the stuff?

 

for a while a very shortwhile i roadie for some big 60s/70s rockstars. [

i walked out mid-tour because I drew the line at lugging boxes and did

not do rehab counselling ]. it was so sad to see them sniffling and

shuffling with all the grubby little mannerism that go with old folk

still smoking dope. flaking out if they could not get a puff - if only

they could remember where they left it. forgetting everything. double

checking and double checking again. anyone that tells me that it has no

side effects is full of it.

 

fine, if you have to, do it for a couple of months when you are a kid and

" rebelling " according to the manual to shock mummy but get over it quick

for God's sake and be different. if you are ever smarter you will even

miss that out and get on with better stuff in life.

 

i still dont hear a reply to the counter argument. either way it goes,

drug dependents still end up empowering and financing the biggest or most

ruthless bunch of capitalists on the planet whether it is the cartels or

the establishment. think the counsequences of your actions through.

 

i keep thinking that if only the avant garde had back all the time and

people wasted by drug culture may be real positive change in this world

would have happened.

 

if you find someone more enlightened that the Buddha to argue for drugs

let me know.

 

two weeks ago about a mile from where in Lower Clapton I live two dealers

got shot dead in their BMW. before they died they mowed down three old

women while trying to escape, one at least died instantly. i cycle passed

about half an hour after it happened. these are your people suckers, not

mine.

 

i really wish the world would grow up and sober up to what is really

important.

 

it does the vegan cause no good either.
