When are we going to get it? That America’s most dangerous drugs are the legal ones in our medicine cabinets, while some of the most benign ones are growing under a heat lamp in my dressing room. I joke! I joke, of course. But, 40% of the U.S. population has tried pot. That’s 94 million Americans. Or, as I call them, “my base.”
Are we all criminals? No. We’re not. But it is criminal when a certain person borrows and doesn’t return another person’s diamond-encrusted bong, Woody!
Now, this week, in The American Scientist - a magazine George Bush wouldn’t read if he got food poisoning in Mexico and it was the only thing he could reach from the toilet —described a study done in England that measured the lethality of various drugs, and found tobacco and alcohol far worse than pot, LSD or Ecstasy, which pretty much mirrors my own experiments in this same area.
The Beatles took LSD and wrote “Sgt. Pepper.” Anna Nicole Smith took legal drugs and couldn’t remember the number for “911.” That is a number.
