Speaking as somebody who's been in the drug scene, it's not something you can go on and on doing, you know. It's like drink, or anything, you've got to come to terms with it. You know, like too much food, or too much anything. You've got to get out of it. You're left with yourself all the time, whatever you do--you know, meditation, drugs or anything. But you've got to get down to your own god and your own temple in your head.
JOHN LENNON, ATV interview, Dec. 2, 1969
Drugs or overeating or alcohol or sex, it was all just another way to find peace. To escape what we know. Our education. Our bite of the apple.
The drug culture has shaped at least one major chance since the Sixties; It became the basis for overloading our prisons.
JIMMY CARTER, Rolling Stone, May 3, 2007
I have always had this very strong, call it a feeling, call it a prejudice, call it a conviction ... that the mysteries are not easily available. You have to earn entrance into them. You didn't learn things for too little. You had to pay a price. And I felt that LSD was just blasting superhighways into the mysteries. And what I really didn't like about LSD is that people who were taking it were seeming to become less and less as they took it. They got emptier and more vapid.
NORMAN MAILER, Rolling Stone, May 3, 2007
Don't waste good drugs on killing yourself. Share them with friends and have a party. Or send them to me.
