Hail to Thee, Blythe Spirit! Or: Reefer Madness

I hadn't been smoking pot for a couple of months, because my guru tells me that the occasional fast or the temporary abstention is good for general practices of mindfulness, and I'm inclined to agree based on experience. But last night I ended by own personal Lent, figuring that I ought to get back on board before the holiday, lest I sputter and cough like an amateur, and I got totally fuckin blazed.

What did I do? I read some poetry. I roasted a chicken on a bed of radicchio for dinner. I drank a couple of glasses of white Bergerac. I ate some granola for desert. Then I ate some ice cream for more desert. Then I ate the rest of the ice cream. Then I walked up the street to the convenience store, bought some microwave popcorn, walked home, got even more ripped out of my brain, ate popcorn, drank tea, and watched some scifi movies.

Deep, deep into the mind of a criminal . . .

I can see how seductive evil is now. If only marijuana didn’t kill tens of thousands every year.

Oh, it doesn’t? Well, if it only didn’t kill hundreds.

Oh, it doesn’t? Well, if only it had never killed anyone.

Oh. it hasn’t? Well, still a horrible blight on… uh, uh, convenience store shift rotations…?

Good for you. It sounds like you had a delightful time.

The idea that precisely the same behavior could lose me my property and land me in jail is a large part of the reason why I do, in fact, hate my government, even while I love my country.

Shit, I didn't even realise there was a holiday for tokers. Rest assured that I have always observed it though... ;)

Ouch. this post is unpleasant for me. I'm involved, peripherally, in writing Zoning Ordinance language that prohibits medical marijuana dispensaries in my city. :(
