"In the grips of intoxication, to look into the future is to see that you have no control over your own destiny. But yet the future keeps coming! ... Intoxication is bearable only because each moment is an eternity."

"While a man in a burning house saves the stapler on his desk, the intoxicated subject, in a similar state of frenzy, becomes absorbed in a toaster. The toaster offers the possibility of an eternity — a dream world protected from death."

"Marijuana calls out to you and says, “I can be your hammer! If you use me, I can shatter your social conditioning exposing your true self that exists beneath — the child before he was stolen away by the public."

"I always considered it to be a great irony that pot smokers are perceived as “lazy.” While intoxicated, I may be physically inactive, but I feel more active than ever; working hard at the mental projects that hide between the lines of sober thought"

"Marijuana was my secret weapon. I had the strong feeling that I had an advantage over those around me who are locked inside the cages of their scientific egos. It seemed that everyone else was playing silly language-games"

"So I rejected the possibility that the intoxicated subject merely creates realities otherwise absent. I was convinced that smoking marijuana was a means to uncover phenomena that were always present in sober reality, only hidden."

"I have an inclination to see marijuana as a tyrant who tries to dictate the direction of my soul. After marijuana has instilled a narcissism in me, I am increasingly tempted to turn back to the drug that gives me my greatness."

"However, one could also make the argument that the real tyrant is my imagination itself. Perhaps marijuana is only my imagination’s vehicle to separate itself from me, leaving me as its slave."
