[ book tip by Erekose Hipara ] An amazing book which has been circulating the internet for a year now. No one knows who wrote it, and precisely when - perhaps it was done by an internet spiti?:) Anyway, it deals with the issues concerning drug abuse, and whether you are a prohibitionalist or a lergalizer - you will hopefully find it very very intriguing. The author has an easy style but cool logic.

[ Favourite quote ] 'What is self-evident truth concerning the nature of man and society to a socialist, is questionable to a centrist and outright nonsense to a right wing conservative. You can’t say that one party offers the real reality, and that the others are deluded madmen. Well you can, but I think that one-party societies suck, and if you prefer living in one, it would be pointless for you to continue reading this book. Also religions – each religion offers a different reality, sometimes radically different realities. You can’t pick one out and say: 'This is reality. All other religions are upheld by a bunch of hallucinating retards.' The same goes for art, music, the various meditation and philosophical schools. And let’s not forget the thousands and millions of ‘faith healers’, ‘clairvoyants’, ‘astrologists’, ‘black magic’ people, ‘white magic’ people, and anyone who waves hands, adjusts energy fields, sees into the future and speaks to shining beings from elsewhere. As long as the kneeling Christian or Muslim who speak to God are considered normal, as long as an old lady is not locked away when she looks into the future with the help of a spirit, there is no logical cause to lock me away because I happen to see weird shit when I’m high. I’m supposed to be crazy? Compared to whom?
