Comments on: Do You Smoke Pot? http://johnrlong.com/2005/10/15/do-you-smoke-pot/ I just blather on and on about stuff that interests me, mostly politics and sex and sometimes movies and art.

The politics of consciousness…pretty interesting stuff, what?

My favorite objection on the part of the anti-weed crowd goes something like this:

“People who smoke marijuana just want to escape reality.”

And I respond: “Huh. You mean the way YOU escape reality by going to a concert, a Broadway show, a movie, Disneyland, the corporate board meeting, church, the Republican or Democratic National Conventions, or dropping by your lover’s place for a happy orgasm? You mean escape reality LIKE THAT?”

I’m pretty certain if we ever discover what “reality” “is,” we won’t find it all that interesting. But it might be fun to grow a lot of new brain cells, just to see.
