Yeah that was my baby.
Let the excuses begin on making it okay to use drugs.
I think saying that the "drug chooses you" is a weak attempt to cover a weak-mind to disguise ones fault at even using in the first place.
Yeah i know that one dude .. i just leave em too it too .. alho' sometimes you can feel the Rush starting to happen, but its not hard to control nowadays when theres so much to live for.
Bit of Sunday Knee down scratching on the country twisty's to With/Scarby is cool for me when im on mi todd, and even then it scares the shit out of me & never,NEVER in the rain .. i hate it!

PS - Answer your email.
Yep mate that was a drug all in its self.
I love beer. I have a beer a day pretty much. I rarely drink to excess, as I don't like the hangovers and such. So I rarely go beyond two or three when I do go beyond my one.
I don;t do any other forms of drugs. No weed, no acid, nothing harder.
But I am the first person who says it is a fucked up world we live in where alcohol is legal and pot is illegal. Nobody bashes their loved ones head in because they were high on "grass". But violence always happens with booze.
If my kids (of which I do have two) were smoking pot, I would have their heads. NOT for the harm of the drug, but for the simple fact it is illegal. The main reason I do NOT get high is because it is illegal, and I don't want the hassle and I don't want the kids to see Dad possibly get arrested.
But to be anti-Pot for it's evils is friggin' stupid.
Plus, without it we would never have had Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle!!!

My comment about The drug choosing you was a direct reference to something Lenni said about him not remembering me being much of a smoker compared to other members of the band.
My comment was refering to the fact that my drug of choice was not weed.
Morality aside, if you have ever mixed on that side of life you would know that some people will say that smoking dope has little effect on them. Alternatively you find that those people might prefer another specific narcotic that you yourself do not like, or get much of a buzz from.
That is what I meant by the drug choosing you. I was not saying you had no choice but to take it IF the drug chose you.
I also find it incredulous that anyone who has never taken a drug is even remotely qulified to speak objectively on the subject. All the best rehab counsellors are the ones who have been to the edge themselves. It is impossible anyone to have a knowledge of something they have never done. Its like saying you're a football fan but only ever having seen it on TV.
Drugs are ultimately destructive and they can cause alot of damage in a lot of ways but every expereince in life can be rich in more ways than one. I have gone through a dependency and, as difficult as it was, it taught me a great deal about myself. It made me a much stronger, and I hope better person, to have gone through that.
It made me much more confident and thoughtful about things I had never considered that important to me. Things I now realise I needed to realise where important and that can only be an enriching thing.
You once, mentioned your family had a history of alcohol dependency on one side and that is why you have never drunk. That is your choice and somethinhg anyone should respect, but it is something steeped in your fear of what might happen to you if you are as suspetable to the booze as others have been.
What is more fulfuilling and enriching? Life is about learning for yourself and expereincing things, good and bad. That is how we become objective and wise. Not by not facing up to our fear.

Its amazing how another person can speak your inner most thoughts and respect goes out to you Mr Hunter in droves .. And Carl your right it is a shame that socially Weed is considered "bad" and is therfore illegal, and i have always maintained a little decorum when it comes to having a 'J' whist my kids are about, but then like us all with our little vices in life, best kept till the bains have gone to bed, when its time to unwind a little.
As for Getting high? well to be honest ive never really been high on Weed, all it does for me is let me " chill out" literally .. some how enabling me to get a better/clearer perspective on the day/week etc.
Great Philosophys from you both, and repect to both of you again.
Turned out nice again !

Well then apologies to you for the "drugs choose you" bit.
This is the way I see it and people don't have to agree with me.
If you want to snort, smoke, stick drugs in your system and in the long run you either die, or have drugs kill you slowly then so be it. I chose to not do anything cuz of uncles who were in the same boat people who choose to use drugs are.
There is a reason why I'm a big part of St Judes Children research hospital. The way I see it...is you have small children who don't even see their 5th birthday....They didn't choose the disease that they are in the research center for. I think about all these children who never had a chance to live and then think of people who have their chance only to waste their bodies with drugs. That's my part in how I see things...That's my reason for being non-sympathetic to druggies who use and then all hell breaks loose due to constant years of usage.
It's a screwed up world.
Who says that someone that doesn't use drugs doesn't know how it is...It's not hard to see people wasting their lives away on pathetic drugs and to top that off have an excuse for their usage...which I find ridiculous.
People who've been on here from the beginning know my views and stands against drugs...so all the new comers....Nothing will change my mind.

Ok This IS about CC being in rehab right?
I have hung out with CC on several occasions, and not just for a few minutes for a "phot op" or an autograph.
I am talking ENTIRE days.
CC without drugs is this most awesome wonderful and funny as hell guy and he just permeates the area and everyone around with him with such a wonderful positive aura.
CC on drugs, is drk moody, snappy and short tempered. doesn't want to talk or even be around people for more than a minute.
When I last saw him I wound up walking away and asked Rikki if he was back on drugs...
Rikki looked at me and said plainly "you know him enough to know that, don't you?"
he shook his head when he said that. I have not talked to CC since then.
that's what drugs do to someone.
