New Rule: Stop pretending your drugs are morally superior to my drugs because you get yours at a store. This week, they released the autopsy report on Anna Nicole Smith, and the cause of death was what I always thought it was: mad cow. No, it turns out she had nine different prescription drugs in herwhich, in the medical field, is known as the full Limbaugh. They opened her up, and a Walgreens jumped out. Antidepressants, anti-anxiety pills, sleeping pills, sedatives, Valium, methadonethis woman was killed by her doctor, who is a glorified bartender. Im not going to say his name, but only because (a) I dont want to get sued, and (b) my back is killing me.This month marks the thirty-fifth anniversary of a famous government report. I was sixteen in 1972, and I remember how excited we were when Nixons much ballyhooed National Commission on Drug Abuse came out and said pot should be legalized. It was a moment of great hope for common senseand then, just like Bush did with the Iraq Study Group, Nixon took the report and threw it in the garbage, and from there the 70s went right into disco and colored underpants.This week in American Scientist, a magazine George Bush wouldnt read if he got food poisoning in Mexico and it was the only thing he could reach from the toilet, described a study done in England that measured the lethality of various drugs, and found tobacco and alcohol far worse than pot, LSD, or Ecstasywhich pretty much mirrors my own experiments in this same area. The Beatles took LSD and wrote Sgt. PepperAnna Nicole Smith took legal drugs and couldnt remember the number for nine-one-one.I wish I had more time to go into the fact that the drug war has always been about keeping black men from voting by finding out what theyre addicted to and making it illegalits a miracle our government hasnt outlawed fat white women yetbut I leave with one request: Would someone please just make a bumper sticker that says, Im a stoner, and I vote.
