Hi gang!
It's been a while, and I'm just popping in for a quick second.
"Is it agreeable?" somebody asked. (During this point in the
experiment, all conversations were recorded on a dictating machine, and it
has been
possiblefor me to refresh my memory of what was said.)
'Neither agreeable nor disagreeable,' I answered, 'It just is.'
Istigkeit - wasn't that the word Meister Eckhart liked to use?
'Is-ness.'The Being of Platonic philosophy -- except that plato sems to have
made the enormous , the grotesque mistake of separating Being from becoming,
and identifying it with the mathematical abstraction of the idea. He
could never, poor fellow, have seen a bunch of flowers shining with their
own inner light and all but quivering under the pressure of the
significance with which they were charged; could never have perceived that
what
rose and iris and carnation so intensely signified was nothing more, and
nothing less, than what they were -- a transcience that was yet eternal
life, a perpetual perishing that was at the same time pure Being, a bundle
of minute, unique particulars in which, by some unspeakable and yet
self-evident paradox, was to be seen the divine source of all
existence.
============================================================
I guess this is just another druggie who's trippin.
Aldous always was one to try and fit in with the cool kids....
and those drug addicts? its they're own fault......they made the
choice, based on their very informed inner city education, and rows
of neatly mowed lawns and potluck dinners with their well endowed employers.
I always find it amusing, if not disturbing, that many people find
no fault in tailer-gate parties where beer and football are
aplenty, but when you've got a few friends smoking a(some) joint(s)
and discussing any range of topics, or simply enjoying the things
that are now more vivid, better tasting, and empirically for
spectacular. Oh, and I almost forgot...... how many pothead fathers beat
their
wives? How many times has a high person robbed a bank? When's
the last time someone who just smoked a joint got mad and shot
someone?
what do you think? why dont you smoke a joint and see. if not,
have some vodka, or perhaps beer? or perhaps enjoy sobriety.
Why cant it be legal to do all ?
The emphasis should be placed on responsible instruction, and experience,
rather than
simlpy abolishing and establishing total prohibition (which is the case for
drugs).
There are many examples of drugs which there are little or no forseeable
side-affects, and this has been established either through clinical study,
or through cultural experience of various civilizations over the course of
many millenia.
Of course there is abuse of drugs. In the case of drugs like heroine and
coccaine, which are natural drugs, but highly processed, even a single use
of the drug can lead to near permanent addiction. Asides from these "heavy"
narcotics, I am not aware of such other drugs, either hallucinogenic, or
euphoric, that lead to heavy dependency. I can say from personal
experience, as well as information I have personally gathered from hundreds
of people, and more "concrete" sources of publication.
To even question the use of many drugs, while the rampant abuse of alcohol
and tobacco are ever-present throughout the world seems ludicrous to me.
Need I restate any known facts?
To my knowledge, in canada, in the last ten years, there has been 1 death
related to marijuana use.
Drunk Driving toll? Lung cancer toll? Fetal alcohol Syndrome toll?
Since statistics seem to rule the media, where are the experts exclaming
these statistics? Why are there such harsh consequences for drug
use/possesion? Because it leads to the degredation of society, some might
say. And, to some extent, they can be correct in the case of harsher drugs.
Why are some things disallowed? There can be a reason easily deduced from
known fact.
Drugs, will not, and can not be made into cash cows to deprive people of
their money dependably, and thoroughly.
The "WAR AGAINST DRUGS" has proved to put the dollars in the hands of
cartels faster than FedEx could ship it.
If marijuana was made fully legal, some claim that drug cartels would
experience booming business....society would be plunged into a drug induced
chaos.....
But, seeing as I know currently "what the situation is" (being a part of it)
I can tell you what would be the most likely, and probable outcome.
If marijuana were made legal, what would stop me from growing my own....FOR
FREE! I could , at the cost of 100 dollars cdn. , grow enough marijuana for
myself, and my extended family. Good quality, pure, un-TAINTED marijuana,
at no cost. No seller, no buyer, no middleman........no cost.
why are we not clothing ourselves in hemp? Why do we not make pulp and
paper products of hemp? Hemp has many uses, for which it is better suited
than is any products currently used and produced.
evolution? FUCK evolution.....who need alcoholics and "druggies"?
lets just throw away a few thousand years of music and
literature. BURN THE BOOKS! SMASH THE RECORDS! break open some
t.v. dinner and feast your eyes on The View (tm.) Sit back, relax.
