Thoughts Out Loud and Other Awesome Sh!t

Lost man. May be in his early thirties. Lost in our eyes, in what we call “life,” and in mind. Lost in his thoughts, perhaps. Whole face covered in tattoos. Was he born this way or did he “lose his mind”? Only an innocent looking sweet and loyal dog with him, following his every step. To most people it indicates that he doesn’t have many, or any, friends. But he has the dog, its probably all he’s got. And he is all the dog’s got. PS just remembered another homeless man at the church on 51st street (i used to volunteer there) saying “dust in the wind, dust in the wind, thats all we are.” He was “crazy” but he was right. They have something to tell us, but we wont listen, too busy being a part of the system.

On 21 February 2006 the United States Supreme Court ruled that a church in New Mexico should be exempt from the law, which everybody else has to obey, against the taking of hallucinogenic drugs.8 Faithful members of the Centro Espirita Beneficiente Uniao do Vegetal believe that they can understand God only by drinking hoasca tea, which contains the illegal hallucinogenic drug dimethyl-tryptamine. Note that it is sufficient that they believe that the drug enhances their understanding. They do not have to produce evidence. Conversely, there is plenty of evidence that cannabis eases the nausea and discomfort of cancer sufferers undergoing chemotherapy. Yet the Supreme Court ruled, in 2005, that all patients who use cannabis for medicinal purposes are vulnerable to federal prosecution (even in the minority of states where such specialist use is legalized). Religion, as ever, is the trump card.
