Drugs

I tried marijuana once. I did not inhale. – William Jefferson Clinton

Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic. – Salvador Dali

There seems to be no stopping drug frenzy once it takes hold of a nation. What starts with an innocuous HUGS, NOT DRUGS bumper sticker soon leads to wild talk of shooting dealers and making urine tests a condition for employment — anywhere. – Barbara Ehrenreich

There is held to be no surer test of civilization than the increase per head of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Yet alcohol and tobacco are recognizable poisons, so that their consumption has only to be carried far enough to destroy civilization altogether. – Havelock Ellis

Tobacco and opium have broad backs, and will cheerfully carry the load of armies, if you choose to make them pay high for such joy as they give and such harm as they do. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Woe to you, my Princess, when I come… you shall see who is the stronger, a gentle little girl who doesnt eat enough or a big wild man who has cocaine in his body. – Sigmund Freud

If even a small fraction of the money we now spend on trying to enforce drug prohibition were devoted to treatment and drug rehabilitation, in an atmosphere of compassion not punishment, the reduction in drug usage and in the harm done to users could be dramatic. – Milton Friedman

Nobody stopped thinking about those psychedelic experiences. Once youve been to some of those places, you think, How can I get back there again but make it a little easier on myself? – Jerry Garcia

Marijuana is a useful catalyst for specific optical and aural aesthetic perceptions. I apprehended the structure of certain pieces of jazz and classical music in a new manner under the influence of marijuana, and these apprehensions have remained valid in years of normal consciousness. – Allen Ginsberg

Nobody saves America by sniffing cocaine,
jiggling your knees blankly in the rain.
When it snows in your nose
you catch cold in your brain. – Allen Ginsberg

Thou source of all my bliss and all my woe, that found me poor at first, and keep me so. – Oliver Goldsmith

Only one thing is certain: if pot is legalized, it wont be for our benefit but for the authorities . To have it legalized will also be to lose control of it. – Germaine Greer

If you think dope is for kicks and for thrills, youre out of your mind. There are more kicks to be had in a good case of paralytic polio or by living in an iron lung. If you think you need stuff to play music or sing, youre crazy. It can fix you so you cant play nothing or sing nothing. – Billie Holiday
