Ill effects???
perhps those "ill effects will be counter acted with some positive effects.
I give you that passage to spend time in contemplation of the ideas Mr. Soutern’s words present.
Terry Sothern’s Red Dirt Marijuana
"'How come it's against the law if it's so all-fired good?' asked Harold.
"'Well, now, I use to study 'bout that myself,' said C.K., tightening the lid of the fruit-jar and giving it a pat. 'It ain't because it make young boys like you sick, I tell you that much!'
"C.K. put the fruit-jar beside the shell box, placing it neatly, carefully centering the two just in front of him, and seeming to consider the question while he was doing it.
"'I tell you what it is,' he said then, 'it's 'cause a man see too much when he git high, that's what. He see right through ever'thing . . . You understan' what I say?'
"'What the heck are you talking about, C.K.?'
"'Well, maybe you too young to know what I talkin' 'bout--but I tell you they's a lotta trickin' an' lyin' go on in the world . . . they's a lotta ole bull-crap go on in the world . . . Well, a man git high, he see right through all them tricks an' lies, an' all that ole bull-crap. He see right through there into the truth of it!'
"'Truth of what?'
"'Ever'thing.'
"'Dang, you sure talk crazy, C.K.'
"Sho', they got to have it against the law . . . Sho' you take a man high on good gage, he got no use for they ole bull-crap, 'cause he done see through there. Shoot, he lookin' right down into his ver' soul!'"
Seeing right through ever'thing is not officially encouraged. In fact, it's downright anti-American, esp at a time when a whole lotta trickin' an' lyin' is standard procedure. The majority of the Supreme Court understands this, as does anyone in authority committed to increasing their power.
But then again, seeing right into the truth of matters will invariably break your heart. At least music sounds better. (not my words and I share the thought)
“Ya can't tell the players without a programme!”
The cry of the programme seller as you approach the entrance to sporting events in my day. The message in a broader sense can be read as “It helps to know the participants in the process, be it the priest, politician or policeman! Or whether it’s the Rules of Exchange, of Commerce and contract.
Seems to me that We exist by exchange in put this for that world.
Uh? Wuzinitfurme?
What is being offered in exchange for?
What are the conditions?
I see your truths as personal assumptions, as you do of mine
And it’s all downhill from there.
Do we debate to learn the others point of view or to impose our assumption on their assumptions?
Some pot smokers and begin to see right through ever'thing.
They see the bull crap.

In my haste to present this I didn't realise I picked up the following irrelevent bit.
"Seeing right through... "
