Title: Prose against the chronic
Post by: awhiteknight on January 21, 2013, 02:17 am
I was an habitual cannabis user for around 15 years before I saw the light, a burning light that pains the ego, hurts because the culture says that we are the drugs and it's part of who we are. We like who we are. It's an unpopular thought around these parts, that the Big Beat Manifesto is false and chronic drug use is nothing to be proud about.

I remember an aging hippy granting me an Oracle's insight, imparting a wisdom that drug use is okay but drugs culture is dangerous. If your crowd revolve around the next high then you'll end up on smack and crack, don't get caught up in culture and the fashions, don't let it define you as a person. Be an individual, use don't abuse. And I took that advice, mostly anyway, but what I didn't realise at the time is that she was another hypocrite full of beads and tie dye and fifteen spliffs a day. How is waking up or coming home to a joint smoked alone different from waking up to a bottle of vodka?

Yank stoners or Brit pot heads wear this embarrassment like a badge of honour, hey man look how we've been consumed by the herb rather than us consuming it. This is who we are, firstly drug users and secondly individuals. It's shameful. What did I get out of my 15 year long hobby? I can roll the perfect joint and I can beat you at Counter Strike. I could have learned to paint and play a bunch of musical instruments, learned how to rebuild an engine or I don't know, spent 10 years doing something that requires effort and makes me worth a load of money instead of lazy pot-headed procrastination.

And to think all that time I was sneering at soap opera drones while thinking my toking and staring into a different piece of furniture was somehow more worthwhile.

Don't get high errryday or alone, get a hobby that creates skills, get up and do shit and stuff. Yeah.
