Alan Watts speaking of M. C. Escher.

Amazing life.

Agreed. businesses like that should be required to store their product in the White House.

actually, it wasn't a hash oil maker, it was a supplier who didn't know how to handle flammable materials.

though i still don't get Hash Oil.

Remember all too well when oil got me.
Anti-war protest Washington Monument
1972. Got a gram for 20 bucks when
lids were going for ten bucks.
Was a religious experience for me.
Resulted with my spending time
at the Library of Congress, to
learn how it was made.
Being young and naive, I did
not realize, I was walking such a well
trod path of debauchery.
If there was anything neater than
learning interesting things, I have
yet to stumble upon it.

The Drug Runners

The Tarahumara of northern Mexico became famous for their ability to run incredibly long distances. In recent years, cartels have exploited their talents by forcing them to ferry drugs into the U.S. Now, with their land ravaged by violence, they’re running for their lives.

I was hopelessly smitten. Went tumbling head over heels, have never had any regrets. Feel as good or better about it today. Would wish similar for all.

I was an electrician helper in 1972 wiring apartments when I fell into a bunch of hippy painters. I'd smoked plenty of joints by that time of my young life, but that day I found out what hash oil was. A small glass pipe, a sewing needle, and a vial of black goo was all it took to get smashed with a smile on my face. Those were the daze.

 

[h.h.]

Made many a long trip for honey oil. Little did I realize I could make it in my garage.

yup. just now really starting to spread in the south, just in time for our moronic "leaders" to let the masses slip the leash. the deaths from this point on are mostly on those pushing for the economy to fire up. oddly enough, MANY citizens are not biting ...
