Thinking People Drug

More From Terence McKenna

The choice is not between drugs and no drugs, but between illegal drugs and legal drugs. until the 1920s drugs were legal, why not now? lots of people are on drugs anyway - it is called medication.

No, i don't do drugs anymore, either. but i'll tell you something about drugs. i used to do drugs, but i'll tell you something honestly about drugs, honestly, and i know it's not a very popular idea, you don't hear it very often anymore, but it is the truth: i had a great time doing drugs. sorry. never murdered anyone, never robbed anyone, never raped anyone, never beat anyone, never lost a job, a car, a house, a wife or kids, laughed my ass off, and went about my day.

Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. and we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. and the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. and so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.

If you want to understand a society, take a good look at the drugs it uses. and what can this tell you about american culture? well, look at the drugs we use. except for pharmaceutical poison, there are essentially only two drugs that western civilization tolerates: caffeine from monday to friday to energize you enough to make you a productive member of society, and alcohol from friday to monday to keep you too stupid to figure out the prison that you are living in.

I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, i don't think drugs are the problem. crime is the problem. cops are the problem. money's the problem. but drugs are just drugs.

I am not a preacher. i don't want to stand on a soapbox and tell people, "don't drink. don't use drugs." with my kids, i say "don't drink. don't do drugs." but when they turn 21, they can drink. i hope they never use drugs, but people make their own decisions. when they're old enough, they are going to have the chance to make their own decisions. i just hope i have given them enough love and support, and the ability to come and talk to me if they need to.

Well, most grown-ups forget what it was like to be a kid. i vowed that i would never forget.

I think more of the little kids from a school in a little village in niger who get teaching two hours a day, sharing one chair for three of them, and who are very keen to get an education. i have them in my mind all the time. because i think they need even more help than the people in athens.

I went to see the 'spider-man' movies because my wife is a fan, and so are my kids.

The way i survived growing up in jersey city was by being funny. it wasn't by being tough. nobody thought of me as a tough kid, except for the kids i beat up.
