Quote by Charles Bukowski

The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription cough medicine crowd suffers from the Watchtower itch: you gotta be with us, man, or you're out, you're dead. This pitch is a continual and seeming MUST with those who use the stuff. It's no wonder they keep getting busted.

The whole LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, prescription

Summary

This quote suggests that people who engage in drug culture, specifically LSD, STP, marijuana, heroin, hashish, and prescription cough medicine, often possess a strong need for acceptance and belonging. The quote likens this need to the religious efforts made by Jehovahâ€™s Witnesses who distribute the Watchtower magazine. It implies that individuals involved in drug use have a constant urge to recruit others into their lifestyle, and those who refuse or distance themselves are seen as outcasts. The quote further argues that this incessant need for inclusion is a key factor in people within these drug circles frequently attracting legal trouble and getting caught.

The pursuit of truth is chimerical. That is why it is so hard to say what truth is. There is no permanent absolute unchangeable truth; what we should pursue is the most convenient arrangement of our ideas.

We need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children.
