Proving Dennis&#8217; point with more certainty than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Look: I don&#8217;t give a flying rats ass what you do with your body; frankly, just don&#8217;t ask me to pay for it. You have the free will to do whatever the hell you want, as do I.  You just have to remember these few things:<\/p>\n<p>If, as Dennis says, you smoke dope, you&#8217;re helping to support a large criminal class. Making dopesmoking legal would modify this, but not a lot. And making dopesmoking legal would not make it a good idea. <\/p>\n<p>Sure, sure. Some people have pain which can be alleviated by smoking dope. Some people have pain which can be alleviated by drinking laudanum, too; during the latter stages of his bone marrow cancer, my grandfather drank the stuff like kool-ade. <\/p>\n<p>Sometimes life is just painful. Trust me on this; I know firsthand. I could take a lot of things to deal with the pain, i have scrips for some really high powered stuff, which I have never filled. I take the occasional NSAID, which is about all I ever do. Withdrawal from even the mildest opiates is torturous for me, I&#8217;d rather, frankly, have the pain than smoke myself stupid. <\/p>\n<p>There are some people for whom even the slightest taste of alcohol is a big problem. I&#8217;m damned near there myself, a glass of wine or the occasional beer on a hot, hot day are my hard limits for alcohol. And there are people who can deal with a heroin addiction and live a long life- look what Burroughs did. The unintended consequences, as Dennis states, are the fly in the ointment. <\/p>\n<p>H\/T <a href=\"http:\/\/atomic-fungus.livejournal.com\/624129.html\">Ed Hering.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dennis discusses the value of Dope in our country, with special emphasis on, you know- dopes.
