Anyone out there read 'Really the Blues' by Mezz Mezzrow?
I did in the late '50s. This is a tome in complete praise of marijuana,
but certainly did not have the effect of making me into a user. The thing is, although Mezz is still praising pot right to the last page, he also details the way it led him to opium, and the ordeal of 'cold turkey' to get straight again. No Thanks!
Someone said in one of the papers today that anyone who thinks that either Pete Doherty or Amy Winehouse in their present state are 'glamorous' must be using a different dictionary to the rest of us
