LH: I agree on the left right logic completely. It is used to divide and create bogeymen that one side or the other will protect you from. Therefore you need to support one and fight the other. The pro pot and anti pot groups are extolling or condemning pot for their own political purposes

However it does not explain the need to smoke pot, drink, smoke tobacco or do drugs, All are unnecessary and not beneficial in any way. All are a crutch whether illegal or not.

I have smoked it and eventually I decided out it fucks up your thinking.

I think the expression "why do you think they call it dope?" sums it up.

nighttime, shooting star, the sun started to rain
trees lost branches, gurus' trances, black-brassiered dancers
little dears
showdown's coming, it's no joke, mouth is runnings, it's a stroke
that's what I think when I'm so fucked up I can't even find the door

why do you think they call it dope?
why do you think they call it dope?

when your heart beats fast, you're so broke, in your car with the red
lights flashing
look sincere, smell like beer, roach in the ashtray
going to the pokey
thirty days later, ten bucks left, hands are shaking
looking for a dime bag

why do you think they call it dope?
why do you think they call it dope?

dirty little dopers on dope so bad
dirty little dopers on dope so bad

when two and two turn into five you'll probably see it my way
when bad is good, like it should, things turn upside down
some people say it's hip to say no, my town it's green light go
for party rockin' angels now it's trigger happy
slang-bang-pow

why do you think they call it dope?
