drugs have been around for millennia. in fact, some anthropologists think that beer, because it is easily preserved and actually has many nutritious qualities, is what could have actually driven ancient people to begin cultivating grain and therefore becoming a society that puts down roots in one place long enough to warrant law, co-habitation, monogamy and civilized behavior, as opposed to roaming, warring hunter gatherers.

lou, i usually smoke weed and drink. i know it's unhealthy, but i don't particularly care. lots of things are unhealthy. i love fried chicken, but i'm not gonna stop enjoying it because it's bad for me. and my life is not full of pain or, most especially, devoid of meaning. i am a happy, well adjusted person who does not need counseling, who takes an active interest in my community and the lives of the people i love, and generally gets a kick out of my life and the people who touch it.
