I was a kid growing up in the 60's. My mother was dating a pot-smoking American draft dodger.
My brother and I asked our father, what he thought about drugs.
Our father was a radical Maoist who tried to foist Chairman Mao's little red book on us.
He said "You cannot serve Chairman Mao on drugs."

I figured that if drugs were a good antidote for both Chairman LBJ and Chairman Mao,.. I was going to get some as soon as I was old enough.

Even though I did go through a nationalist gung-ho phase in my youth, drugs kept me grounded.

I see a lot of anti-Islamic and anti Arab posts on GLP, and I think that the people who post this stuff, would never have the courage to sit down, unarmed, in a dark grapefruit grove and smoke some Lebanese Hashish with the PLO sympathisers from the neighbouring village.
