I wish to invoke here all the gods and goddesses, animals and spirits
that the hunter-gatherers saw while smoking weed, so the Christian-
Jewish god, that male chauvinistic god, is laid to rest.

Is that why the Christians want pot banned? That PROHIBITION makes
less sense than god, and CRIME & VIOLENCE are part of another real
crisis we face for which they got no solution.
Bob Marley inspired that energy we need in a sad world. This music
also has the energy...
"I think the fact that people from all over the world can feel the
same vibes and energy listening to what somebody created in totally
different cultures thousands years ago may mean that we all share the
same human element. Makes me happier cos I know we are also just
animals (Libya). Peace to the human element in you."
