The parties with the most profound interest in continuing the socially destructive, financially ruinous, politically corrupting and constitutionally unjustifiable prohibition on the use by otherwise autonomous individuals of exogenous neurotransmission modifiers are the franchisors and franchisees of the current distribution system;….

I’m allowed to get high off running, yoga, fasting, falling in love, obliged whether I want to or not to have my brain suffused with DMT at birth and death, encouraged to get so fuckin’ high in church that I can handle a snake, but I’m a felon if I want to nudge the identical dopamine pathways with an exogenous agent..

So it’s not really that I’m not allowed to get high—I’m just not allowed to use a shortcut!

UPDATE (DEVELOPING)NORTHAMPTON MASSACHUSETTS. POLICE ARREST 49 OVER WEEKEND AT THE CALVIN THEATRE PERFORMANCES OF THE DISCO BISCUITS 600 HITS OF LSD CONFISCATED. POLICE ACTION DESCRIBED AS “UNDERCOVER SWEEPS OPERATIONS”

Well, here were some *dangerous college kids trying to take that bad ol’ shortcut to heaven via an unsanctioned exogenous neurtransmitter modifier. Here we see the police doing their best to make drugs expensive, to the ultimate benefit, of course of exactly who again?.

More details on this profoundly disturbing misdirection of the power of the state blatently to define and punish pure “Thought Crime”. UPDATE2 That was sure some deep police work, to figure out that you might find kids selling ecstasy and acid around a Disco Biscuits Concert….I guess this was the old Grateful Dead strike force, that has been biding it’s time ever since Jerry died..

“.Police Chief Russell P. Sienkiewicz said 24 people were arrested Friday and another 25 on Saturday. Officers, including police in plain clothes, swept through public areas downtown including parking lots, the parking garage, streets, alleys and along the railroad tracks. The arrests were made each night between 7 p.m. and 4 a.m.

“They partied early and they partied late,” he said.

Police confiscated more than 600 “hits” of LSD, 45 grams of cocaine, two nitrous oxide tanks and more than $2,000 in cash.”

More details, including a prelude in January at Northampton, when 5 tanks of Nitrous Oxide and many baloons were seized.

UPDATE2Upon closer reading of the linked article, it would appear that some of the resources wasted on this display of police *petulance was extorted from the venue owner: “…police worked with the owner of the Calvin, Eric Suher, to coordinate coverage, and Suher agreed to pay the cost of some additional officers. ” Note that Suher “agreed” as opposed to “volunteered” to pay for what I presume was overtime.

UPDATE3 An inventory of the charges listed gives rise to the astonishing inference that all the arrests were for possession, and NO ONE was chared either with sale or possession for sale.

So how were these dangerous criminals not on their “best behavior”? The cops had to go out looking for them—they were not standing on the corner whispering “Shrooms, dust, I got dank…”

I will grant that the girls from *Smith are dangerous, at least to me, who has had his heart broke more than once by a beautiful dyke.

**I have to confess that at the moment I am taking journalistic liberties by venturing to say (with I should think 70-90% certainty) in the absence of hard data, that if there were multiple acid busts in Northampton, someone from Smith and for sure, UMass, is involved…

*“Sienkiewicz said he hopes the action by police will send a strong message to any future concert patrons.

‘If they are coming to a concert, they should be on their best behavior, or they are going to be arrested,’ he said.” *
