The most efficient way for us to do this is for each one of us
00:00:04.712 --> 00:00:09.216
to try and attempt to imagine what it is like
00:00:09.216 --> 00:00:13.471
inside of the possessed mind of the addict
00:00:13.471 --> 00:00:14.889
Hmm
00:00:15.348 --> 00:00:18.559
For example a dope fiend
00:00:19.727 --> 00:00:24.357
refers to the reefer butt as a roach
00:00:25.358 --> 00:00:29.528
because it resembles a cockroach
00:00:31.999 --> 00:00:32.907
What the fuck are these people talking about
00:00:32.907 --> 00:00:36.577
You've got to be crazy on acid to think a joint looks like a goddamn cockroach
00:00:37.536 --> 00:00:41.415
you will notice that I have distinguished four
00:00:42.416 --> 00:00:48.999
Four distinct states of being in the cannabis or marijuana society
00:00:49.131 --> 00:00:52.076
They are cool groovy
00:00:52.076 --> 00:00:55.997
hip and square
00:00:55.262 --> 00:00:57.999
Seldom if ever
00:00:57.039 --> 00:00:58.975
Too crazy man Too crazy
00:01:00.601 --> 00:01:03.354
We should get the hell out What a fucking nightmare
00:01:03.354 --> 00:01:06.315
If he figures out what is happening
00:01:06.315 --> 00:01:08.776
then he can rise one notch
00:01:08.776 --> 00:01:10.999
and become hip
00:01:11.696 --> 00:01:14.657
And then if he can convince himself
00:01:14.657 --> 00:01:18.452
to approve of what is happening
00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:22.001
then he becomes groovy
00:01:23.249 --> 00:01:25.167
Groovy
00:01:26.794 --> 00:01:30.297
And then after that he can actually raise himself
00:01:30.297 --> 00:01:33.003
to the rank of cool
00:01:33.003 --> 00:01:35.097
He can become one of those
00:01:36.137 --> 00:01:38.996
cool guys
00:01:38.996 --> 00:01:40.001
Dr Bumquist
00:01:40.001 --> 00:01:43.999
You think the anthropologist Margaret Mead's
00:01:43.999 --> 00:01:46.002
strange behavior of late
00:01:46.002 --> 00:01:49.233
could be explained by a private marijuana addiction
00:01:49.233 --> 00:01:50.999
Good question
00:01:51.061 --> 00:01:54.488
I'm not really sure I can answer that
00:01:54.488 --> 00:01:59.452
But what I can tell you sir is if Margaret Mead at her age
00:02:00.161 --> 00:02:02.999
smoked grass
00:02:03.622 --> 00:02:05.075
she'd have one hell of a trip
