How dare you have wino tell me not to do drugs.
....All drugs should be legal. War is wrong. The rich get richer. The poor get poorer. Thank you. I'll be here all week.
I've had good times on drugs...bad times on drugs...But I've had good and bad relationships...and I'm not giving up pussy.
Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs, I see through you.
That's why I always recommend a psychedelic experience because it makes you realize that all you've learned is in fact just learned and not necessarily the truth.
not all drugs are good.. some of them are great
Marijuana: a drug that kills … no one – and let's put it in a time frame – ever. Illegal.

I'm not really a heavy smoker any more. I only get through two lighters a day now.

The whole image is that eternal suffering awaits anyone who questions God's infinite love. That's the message we're brought up with, isn't it? Beleive or die! Thank you, forgiving Lord, for all those options.
