    Default SOME THOUGHTS ON DRUGS & ALCOHOL

    Drugs

    In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country.

    - Aldous Huxley

    "I've got this friend who's been a junkie for 25 years. He said to me when Trainspotting came out, 'Why have you written this book? You've only been a junkie for five minutes.' " Welsh's eyes dim for a moment. "Well actually, it was 18 months." He seems keen to go on. "It was a stupidity and a weakness. I've not touched it for years, but it's in your vocabulary. If something bad happens in your life, it's always there in the background, waiting for you to trip up." Welsh kept a diary when he was on heroin; sometimes the odd note, sometimes whole therapeutic pages about addiction. Trainspotting in embryo.

    - Andy Beckett, Interview with Irvine Welsh

    Seven beers followed by two Scotches and a thimble of marijuana and it's funny how sleep comes all on it's own.

    - David Sedaris

    WE [MOI], AS A GROUP, DO NOT RECOMMEND... VERILY, WE REPUDIATE ANY ANIMAL/MINERAL /VEGETABLE/SYNTHETIC SUBSTANCE, VEHICLE and/or PROCEDURE WHICH MIGHT TEND TO REDUCE THE BODY, MIND OR SPIRIT OF ANY INDIVIDUAL (any true individual) TO A STATE OF SUB-AWARNESS OR INSENSITIVITY ... that is to say WE ARE HERE TO TURN YOU LOOSE NOT TURN YOU ON

    - Frank Zappa

    My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication--it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness--it is all that i have--and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.

    - Franz Kafka

    We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws.

    - Hunter S. Thompson

    There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge

    -Hunter S. Thompson

    This is the main advantage of ether: it makes you behave like the village drunkard in some early Irish novel... total loss of all basic motor skills: blurred vision, no balance, numb tounge- severance of all connection between the body and the brain. Which is interesting because you can actually watch yourself behaving in this terrible way, but you can't control it.

    - Hunter S. Thompson

    You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye

    - Hunter S. Thompson

    The junkie in Trocchi and Burroughs's fiction was by and large a culturally middle-class figure - a member of the intelligentsia, a rebel who saw society as not having done anything for them, so they're into this drug that's their own, a symbol of their rebellion. There's always been that sort of bohemian type drug sub-culture. But in Edinburgh, in the eighties you're talking about people who wouldn't normally be involved in the heroin scene, people who didn't have that Trocchi-esque attitude of setting themselves up in opposition to society. It was just people who really didn't have a fucking clue as to what was going on... I'm not writing a text-book on drugs or drug legislation . . . I wouldn't be comfortable becoming a spokesperson for anything; drugs spokesperson, underclass spokesperson. I don't think you can write anything definitive if you do. It's only your truth as you see it

    - Irvine Welsh

    Welsh looks thoughtful and pauses for a full 15 seconds. "I can't really say I've had a great deal of personal problems with drugs," he says eventually. "The problems were caused by the procurement rather than the effects. In your teens and your twenties you're not really aware of your mortality, you're just steaming in... There's a tension when you write a book like this [Trainspotting], that people expect you to be either this big reformed ex-junkie voice-of-experience, which I don't think I am, or they think you are some kind of middle class voyeur looking in and writing an exploitation book about other people's misery, which equally I don't think I am. Probably you could point to people in my past and they'd say: 'Oh, he was never into anything like that to that extent.' Or get people saying: 'That bastard was much worse than any of the characters in the book.' "

    - Irvine Welsh, 1993 Interview

    The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that's making us so pressurized that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

    - John Lennon

    I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but having said that, I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.

    - Maynard James Keenan

    I don't do drugs. I am drugs.

    - Salvador Dali

    Psychedelics are probably responsible for every aspect of human evolution apart from the decline in bodyhair.
    - Terence McKenna, Food of the Gods
    If it keeps you awake, it’s art; if it puts you to sleep, it’s a drug.


    - Unknown

    Annual drug deaths: tobacco: 395,000, alcohol: 125,000, 'legal' drugs: 38,000, illegal drug overdoses: 5,200, marijuana: 0. Considering government subsidies of tobacco, just what is our government protecting us from in the drug war?

    - William A. Turnbow

    Drugs are good, they make you do things that you know you not should.

    - Nofx, In Music/Punk

    Default SOME THOUGHTS ON DRUGS & ALCOHOL

    Drugs:Marijuana

    They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.

    - Bill Hicks

    Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn't the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit... unnatural?

    - Bill Hicks

    I have never seen people on pot get in a fight, because it's fucking impossible.

    - Bill Hicks

    And on the seventh day, god stepped back and said "There is my creation, perfect in every way... oh, dammit I left pot all over the place. Now they'll think I want them to smoke it... Now I have to create republicans."

    - Bill Hicks

    You would think that pot had some kind of power; I mean come on, it’s a plant, not a reason for living. Controlled by a plant, how hilarious. A plant! A fucking plant!

    -Henry Rollins

    Drugs:Tobacco

    The filters are the best part of a cigarette. that's where they put the heroin!

    - Denis Leary

    The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide.

    - Kurt Vonnegut

    Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times.

    - Mark Twain

    Cigarettes cause death

    -On packs in Europe

    Drugs:Mescaline

    Good mescaline comes on slow. The first hour is all waiting, then about halfway through the second hour you start cursing the creep who burned you, because nothing is happening...and then ZANG!
    -Hunter S. Thomson


    Drugs:Heroin

    Junk is the ultimate commodity; the merchandise is not sold to the consumer- the consumer is sold to the merchandise

    - William Burroughs

    The junk merchant doesn't sell his product to the consumer; he sells the consumer to the product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.

    - William S. Burroughs, "Naked Lunch"

    "Beer. Helping ugly people have sex since 1862."

    - -Some T-Shirt

    Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it
    attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes crimes out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.


    - Abraham Lincoln

    If life is an illusion and the illusion is life then let's all get drunk and steal roadcones!

    - B.A Roberts

    - Homer Simpson

    The problem with the world is that everyone is one drink
    behind.


    - Humphrey Bogart

    An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold on to a blade of grass and not fall off the face of the earth.

    - Irish Proverb

    when we drink, we get drunk.When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to Heaven. So, lets all get drunk and go to Heaven!

    Whiskey is what makes a man shoot at his landlord...and what makes him miss.

    The problem with the designated driver program, it's not a desirable job. But if you ever get sucked into doing it, have fun with it. At the end of the night, drop them off at the wrong house.

    Sometimes, you hit the bar, and saometimes, the bar hits you

    - Jeffrey Lebowski Aka

    my roommate once called me to come pick her up, "Jos, come pick me up. Get my keys out of my purse and take the couch."

    - Jos And Cam

    Beer, of course, is actually a depressant. But poor people will never stop hoping otherwise.

    I am diggin' the Alcohol quotes. A lot of them apply to my bar customers. One customer subscribes to a W.C. Fields quote. Paraphrased - "I drink alcohol, not water, because fish fuck in water".

    W.C. Fields quotes; he is the king of booze jokes. His line delivery was perfect. In the Bank Dick when he was thinking about making having alot money in his new mansion the brook would have beer flowing though it.

    I don't drink or do drugs myself but have in the past and do not encorage drinking or doing drugs but a joke is a joke.

    Some more of the old King W.C.

    A thing worth having is a thing worth cheating for.

    Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people.

    I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake--which I also keep handy.

    I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.

    I never vote for anyone; I always vote against.

    I've never struck a woman in my life, not even my own mother.

    Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.

    Last week, I went to Philadelphia, but it was closed.

    What contemptible scoundrel stole the cork to my lunch?



    · Asked if he believed in clubs for women, Fields responded "Yes, if every other form of persuasion fails."

    · All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women.

    · Back in my rummy days, I would tremble and shake for hours upon arising. It was the only exercise I got.

    · Charlie McCarthy: "Say, Mr. Fields, I read in the paper where you consumed two quarts of liquor a day. What would your father think about that?" WC: "He'd think I was a sissy."

    · Comedy is a serious business. A serious business with only one purpose--to make people laugh.

    · Christmas at my house is always at least six or seven times more pleasant than anywhere else. We start drinking early. And while everyone else is seeing only one Santa Claus, we'll be seeing six or seven.

    · "Fields reloading!" (Fields' retort from his dressing room after a director had shouted, "Camera reloading!")

    · Hangman: "Have you any last wish?" WC: "Yes, I'd like to see Paris before I die." (Pause) "Philadelphia will do."

    · How well I remember my first encounter with The Devil's Brew. I happened to stumble across a case of bourbon--and went right on stumbling for several days thereafter.

    · I exercise extreme self-control. I never drink anything stronger than gin before breakfast.

    · I don't believe in dining on an empty stomach.

    · I once spent a year in Philadelphia; I think it was on a Sunday.

    · (Invited to play golf by someone he didn't like, Fields responded "When I want to play with a prick, I'll play with my own."

    · If at first you don't succeed, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.
