“Now take a look at the way the Drug War is conducted over the past 40 years. It goes back farther, but start from 40 years ago: There's very little spent on prevention and treatment. There's a lot on policing, a ton of stuff on border control and a lot on out-of-country operations. And the effect on the availability of drugs is almost undetectable; drug prices don't change on measures of availability. So there are two possibilities: Either those conducting the Drug War are lunatics, or they have another purpose.” WayYearsLooksLittlesTwoWarCountryPastPurposeStuffEffectsPossibilityDrugYears AgoOperationsBordersTreatmentOver The PastDon't ChangeWar On DrugsPreventionConductingAvailabilityBorder Control Author:Noam Chomsky
“When I left my home within society to live amongst the Grizzly's I went there so that I could sacrifice myself to something which was even more chaotic than the drinking and drug abuse. When I made the wholehearted attempt such as it was to 'save' the Grizzly's I wanted to actually save myself. The animals only later on became my life as well as my directive principle, not because they desired a human to protect them, rather because I wanted to do for them what is humanly possible when faced with such possibilities.” HumansWellsMadeHomeWantedLeftAnimalPrinciplesSacrificePossibilityDrugProtectAbuseDrinkingChaoticDrug AbuseGrizzlies Author:Timothy Treadwell
“I think the possibilities are endless in terms of what the genre would be like. However, in terms of looking for sources of money, I think we have to be very careful not to fall into Hollywood's commodification of Chicano culture. We could look at the example of Piri Thomas, a successful Puerto Rican writer now living in the Bay Area, who has received repeated offers from Hollywood...and he said he's not going to write about his people doing drugs and going to jail.” PeopleThinkingWritingFallCultureTermSuccessfulPossibilityDrugCareful Author:Ana Castillo
“Hallucinations are bad enough. But after awhile you learn to cope with things like seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a knife in her teeth. Most acid fanciers can handle this sort of thing. But nobody can handle that other trip-the possibility that any freak with $1.98 can walk into the Circus-Circus and suddenly appear in the sky over downtown Las Vegas twelve times the size of God, howling anything that comes into his head. No, this is not a good town for psychedelic drugs.” EnoughWalksSeeingSkyPossibilityDrugTownsSizeLegsHandleTeethGrandmotherKnivesFreakTwelveCircusAcidVegasLas VegasPsychedelicDowntownCrawlingHallucinationsFear And LoathingPsychedelic Drugs Book:Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream Source: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream
“A man could be a lover and defender of the wilderness without ever in his lifetime leaving the boundaries of asphalt, powerlines, and right-angled surfaces. We need wilderness whether or not we ever set foot in it. We need a refuge even though we may never need to set foot in it. We need the possibility of escape as surely as we need hope; without it the life of the cities would drive all men into crime or drugs or psychoanalysis.” MenNeedsMayCitiesFeetCrimePossibilityLoversDrugLifetimeEnvironmentalLeavingSurfaceBoundariesWildernessRefugePsychoanalysisDefendersAsphalt Book:Desert Solitaire Source: Desert Solitaire
