Personally, I think some of us probably are aware there are better approaches to substance abuse than criminalising everything.
The whole argument by the elite that 'back in their day pot was so weak', so we need to stop the youth of today trying skunk is bogus.
Beer was generally weaker too, we just drank more of it to get the same effect.
It is a hypocritical pile of dogma.
A lot of heroin use has its origins with dealers of pot.
Fact.
Decriminalise boo and that link is broken.
Same story with ecstasy.
Yes one or two a year die due to complications, but hundreds or thousands use it every week.
Reduce it to a lower class and stop the hard stuff dealers connecting with their long term client base.
Oh, and while we are at it stop shoving alcohol adverts down the throat of mainstream pre-watershed television.
All this scrutiny for tea but they are still at that?
Sheesh!
P.S. Zappa was a phenomenal musician, composer and arranger.
He could not play like Hendrix though. Not in a million years, not if he took all the draw and acid in the universe.
If all you needed to do to play like James was to get high, how come it turned Clapton into an M.O.R.-on? Once the smack got hold of him, he lost whatever spark he had.
Keef seemed to get through it somewhat better, but his playing was all about ignoring the rules.
Countless others had their talent and life stolen by misuse, these were all creative people and that did not start with their drug use.
