i don't have an answer for you. but think about it like this. we were severely consored in Straight. myself i do not like being censored anymore. for whatever artistic or personal or humorous reason, someone wanted to start this thread. i don't know, you could complain it isn't serious or whatever, but these are my people here, speaking, and nobody gonna shut them up. some of us are tired, too, of all the stigma around drugs and ourselves. like, if i'm talking to people about being in a drug rehab when i was a teenager that was abusive and a cult, and i know their mind is stuck on "drug rehab... what did she do, what is she on now?"
i don't know, some of us kind of guess who is posting these threads, and then it makes us think how to respond, and what our response is really about, like our own prejudices about drugs and drug users, all the inseparable morality that gets in there. i want the creative right to my life back. if someone finds their creative life in freebasing coke or shooting smack, maybe that is just their thing.
for my closing argument, i would like to say go down to the shopping mall or the fancy beachfront or whatever and watch homo sapiens in a pathetic state of ruin. an open discussion about freebasing cocaine is not the problem.
