On the subject of decriminalizing drugs. Why the hell would the government make DMT illegal? It makes less sense than making weed illegal. It's in everything just about.

Kirk - You bring up some very good points. I'll have to do some research before I agree or disagree with your post. Although I doubt Ron Paul would ever be elected as the Republican candidate, I will definitely make sure I have my facts straight before casting a vote.

If you hippies ever manage to get drugs legalized, please put me down on the list for anabolics. Maybe some Hgh. And hell, throw in some Mary Jane too, because it's difficult to eat enought to make all that extra hormone worthwhile without it.
While we're at it, I probably should invest in some horse, because I imagine I'll be pretty sore from the working out and the needles. I figure if I cocktail all that together, though, I'll be some kind of evil superman. Might not live very long, but who doesn't want to flllyyyyyyyy?

The point is not to legalize 'drugs.' The point is to lift the prohibition on marijuana that was mandated in the early part of the twentieth century--to make legal what should never have been made illegal to begin with. The point is to re-legalize 'drug' not 'drugs.'
Marijuana was not made illegal because it's a controlled substance.
As for your hippie comment, I will take that as a compliment considering that historically an overwhelming majority of novelists would probably fit into that category more than just about any other.
I assume you were only joking anyway, but if not then maybe you should consider growing your hair out and quitting your job.

What! I don't have to have long hair to do steroids just because Arnold did. That was the '70s! People did horrible fashion shit in the '70s. As to quitting my job...I wouldn't be able to afford patchouli oil if I did that. My wife would kick me out of the house because I'd smell like a pothead who worked out all the time and never bathed. No one would like me. I'd have to move to a crappy studio apartment and go back to delivering pizza in a thousand dollar car (which represents one of the happiest times in my life...).
Yes. Sign me up! I am a convert. I will be a stinky, 'roid-raging, pothead hippie that delivers pizzas (and probably pot). What's the next challenge?
Okay, you got me. Just kidding. God, I hate pizza.

I knew a guy in college on the Football team who would lift weights stoned. He had also done roids prior to that.
Some things never change.
It does sound fun. The Hippie Life. Woodstock. Flower children.
It's the flashbacks I could live without.

The flashbacks...people act like it's a joke. In the middle of traffic on a Wednesday afternoon, it's no fucking joke.

I'm glad I'm too young to know what you guys are talking about.

@Raelyn: Don't worry, they stopped talking about drugs and are now talking about how Rick Perry won the Vietnam war but suffers from PTSD flashbacks. Helicopters overhead. Tiny ladies in san-pan hats. Rough stuff with an awkward segue.

Right Rae.
I am pretty sure kids these days (Watch for this band, they are going to be huge) know exactly what we are talking about.
The video and sound is kinda shitty, but these kids have a bright future if they can stay together. Saw them Saturday. They are younger than you Rae.

I had an interesting "Blow" moment earlier.
