ha ha. i slept like a rock. or a dog. i'm out of melatonin now, so part of today's events will be seeking out more melatonin for cheap. maybe i can score an industrial size. i can't believe that more people aren't down with it. christ isn't cool with supplementing hormones, which i suppose is one view to take. i think that i'm dependent. i think that my 'factory' melatonin production is probably non existent. oh well, until they ban it, i'll continue my circadean rythym regulation this way.
the canadian senate has reccomended that canada decriminalize marijuana. here, talk radio is buzzing with open lines. "what would happen if marijuana was legalized?" i would say look at boulder, or even better nederland, where everyone seems to be high all the time. people are calling in and taking polar viewpoints on the issue:
"yeah, man. violent crime would go down. i've been smoking pot since i was a kid, and it hasn't had any effect on me. i'm stoned right now." one of the best quotes about weed is from jackie brown. that shit will rob you of your ambition. not if your ambition is to get high and watch tv."
the other view is the reefer madness view. it's the way my grandfather feels about drugs. he thinks that you smoke a joint and have an uncontrollable urge to play jazz drums, and have sex, among other taboo acts. are those taboos? more like mores, i suppose. is the prohibition against dope a religous one? i think that its an economic one, or at least it was originally. the first marijuana law was enacted in something like 1937. weed, being such a useful plant, can be used for a lot of things. if i were trying to create jobs in the us is the 30s, i would search for a way to eliminate efficiency in agriculture. one way would be to eliminate multi purpose crops, such as weed. another way to increase employment would be to arrest immigrants (brown people--smoking pot), so that 'real americans' have wonderful jobs picking oranges.
both of those solutions aren't sufficiently free market for my tastes. i wish that people had enough good sense and didn't have a feeling of entitlement, so that we didn't have to have a government checking up on us. the fact is, though, that people are basically greedy and stupid enough to only see how they can take advantage of a situation. my utopian views don't go over with my friends. i realize that they're totally idealistic. politically, i'm so apathetic. i had a conversation with grampa a few years ago that really changed my attitude about government. here's a man who worked for the government for most of his life, who hates jews, blacks, hispanics, asians, who believes in the catholic church, aliens, atlantis, illuminati, masons. he was a party-line republican until recently. he said, "you know jeremy, when you vote for anyone, you've basically got to either vote for the left wing or the right wing of the same outfit." it's really depressing that we only have two viable parties in this country. i guess that it's better than having one.
