There is no god, and a big fat spliff, and Led Zep doing an encore of Stairway to Heaven, is far more transcendental for me, but still not something I need to ascribe to divine inspiration.

I can be awe inspired by the absolute beauty of slipping through a crystal cavern on my hand carved creation, solid, but fluid, beneath my feet, and simply be content in the wonder that it is, without feeling the need to create an imaginary being as grand designer.

The grand designer concept fails for me, on every possible level, so I content myself with just enjoying what is.

You can chose to be a be a plonker - but why be a plonker when you have only one go? It IS a failure of imagination to be a plonker, on weed.

Pullup man, you can say what ya like about god, but don't go dissin' da weed.

I seriously miss pot sometimes, many of the absolute best times of my life I have been as bent as a three dollar note.
Unforunately the associated lifestyle, loses some of it's attractions after you hit your thirties, but I am not such a self righteous jerk as to declare that just because I no longer enjoy it, every one else should stop too.

Each to their own, in their own time.

Don't trust me then. Anybody who works for me is also subject to random testing. I don't trust people who are addicted to drugs.

Don't get puritanical for the rush of indignation.

Having drunk that beer the other day, are you now an alcoholic?

LOL. I don't touch alcohol. I even use non-alcoholic mouthwash.

I just said that I don't trust drug addicts. I didn't mean to imply that if you'd tried cannabis then you were a drug addict.
