Then, a day or so ago the bloke who writes the blog posted a piece about his youth in the early seventies, going to concerts and smoking dope. I read the comments afterwards. All of them, to a man, were fans of James Taylor, Lou Reed and Bowie, and ALL OF THEM were smoking every type of dope you could name. 'Rope', 'Afghan', 'Red Leb' etc. etc.
These are now men and women in their early fifties, with their fingers on the financial levers. I am not sure whether this discovery fills me with despair or a strange kind of hope.

Francis Crick one of the blokes who discovered DNA - says he got the idea while on LSD! The Human Race have been taking drugs for Millenia and there are many theories that natural drugs found in plants were used by early religions and so on! Drugs were given to soldiers in the wars to help them stay awake and fight, drugs of all kinds are used all day every day for all sorts of purposes!
