Don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.
All governments are lying cocksuckers.
It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom.
Pot is a better drug than alcohol. I'll prove it to you. You're at a ball game or a concert, and someone's really violent and agressive and obnoxious, are they drunk or are they smoking pot?
I am a misanthropic humanist... Do I like people? They're great, IN THEORY.
They proved that if you quit smoking, it will prolong your life. What they haven't proved is that a prolonged life is a good thing. I haven't seen the stats on that yet.
We all pay for life with death, so everything in between should be free.
Listen, the next revolution is gonna be a revolution of ideas.
Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.” -Bill Hicks
I believe that God left certain drugs growing naturally upon our planet to help speed up and facilitate our evolution.
If you're so pro-life, do me a favour: don't lock arms and block medical clinics. If you're so pro-life, lock arms and block cemeteries.
You know what I hate about working? Bosses...The very idea that ANYONE could be my boss, well...I think you see the conflict.
Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive.
People are bringing shotguns to UFO sightings in Fife, Alabama. I asked a guy, "Why do you bring a gun to a UFO sighting?" Guy said, "Way-ul, we didn' wanna be ab-duc-ted." If I lived in Fife, Alabama, I would be on my hands and knees every night praying for abduction.
