hazed and confused

came home from another half of the clock days at the restaurant...sparked up and came up with this...


 the last time I was in Amsterdam, I did what all Americans do...at least the ones I know...I smoked pot in a coffee house..it was all at once exhilarating and forbidden...My whole life I, smoked stealthily, hidden away...towels under doors...secret hiding places for my stash in my car...eye drops at the ready.  The freedom of the "sensi bar" or the bulldog was so fuckin cool.  I had a friend who got a ticket for smoking on the street, on the grand platz...because it freaked him out to sit with a bunch of stoned strangers in an establishment designed for getting stoned... I can only assume that the pot was really good... and the paranoia grabbed him by the throat.  I bring this up because on the eve of our country finally looking seriously a decriminalization or in some cases of legalization, it will a bright and stony day ahead.  I saw that pot stores in Boulder Colorado made 5 million dollars in a  three day period... and  because of federal drug laws... they can't legally deposit their legal revenues in the bank, or risk confiscation.  Whoa somebody really high must have missed that little problem.. In a strange "bizarre news of the world moment" a local sheriff reported to have been  asked to escort a  cannabis store owner to the bank to secure his profits for that first weekend...he was afraid of getting ripped off..  a new cottage industry  popped up instantly.  pot friendly states are producing pamphlets on where it is legal to keep your pot in your car when driving.  Warnings on adjoining states that harbor ill will to the stoned age traveler.  Hotel report record bookings .  Tourism is up.  I can't wait to be walking the streets in Denver, no more drunken skiers puking into snow piles...no ..I envision a giant dead show.. Everybody walking around with that "whoa, dude, I am fucked up" look in their eyes... Grocery stores and ice cream parlors made to endure the giggling mass of crazed eyed highsmiths.  I have belonged to NORMYL for decades...I never thought it might actually work.  and in the "oh fuck yeah" segments of this tale...I'm sitting in a bar next to a guy drinking a soda and he never leaves my side for hours..so I look over and I talk to the guy and he is blasted... he says... this is the best day of my life... he holds up his e cig and smirks...He proceeds to tell me his vapor pen is filled some seriously wax like oil...didn't now what wax was ...its like hash oil on meth...calling the high stoned is like saying... well that grandma( grand marnier for those of you who don't know me) is just brandy...anyway the pen that he's been  sucking on all fuckin day is pot...he had been sitting there all day ..ridiculous...he was doing what i was going home just then to do... he offered a try... I wiped the tip the way you wipe off the ripple bottle before you pass it on...unbelievable...and the scent of the vapor when you exhale...blueberrie..fuckin blueberries...well these young whipper snapper have taken our bongs and created the space shuttle.....I think we can expect to see a lot of publicly stoned people in our future...we might actually be as silly as we act...like my blessed, monny said to..."it's a grand, grand time to be alive"
