Hi Suzy, I had the pleasure of hanging out with Dian Hanson at Benedict Taschen’s fabulous Chemosphere House one night. Both of them are amazing individuals with an eye for what’s on our minds and on the zeitgeist. I work with Christy Canyon, another real doll and would love to talk about having her on your show soon.

Suzy Darling I really do wish I lived out near LA I’d be over to visit with you as often as you’d have me – and not to be a mooch – but just because you are such a fabulous person

Hello Susan,I’m just writing to comment on Lee Roskin’s comment. All dope has been the creative force behind greatness, from literature to science, philosphy and religion, but like all things, used in a state of inbalance, it can kill. Dope heals and helps us have visions that have changed the world. All of of us are beholden to some kind of dope in our lives.All great thinkers and humans that have changed the world had visions and those visions came from our brains which were pried open by dope. Religion is a kind of dope, cars that kill millions are dope, politics is dope for the masses, power is dope. All things in life kill us at different levels and yet the same dope that kills us is the same dope that heals us.So Mr. Roskin, let the dopers be. Dope is everywhere, even in your drinking water !Peace through pleasure, and a little dope to heal us.

Dr. Block, I have loved reading your columns on counterpunch over the years. Though I have become far more an advocate of the kind of pro-America neo-liberal policy line lately (narcissist writing here – let me tell me about you!), I can’t dispute the truth being written so well by left thinking writers; and especially when it comes to pleasure and enjoyment: I’m glad people like you are among the leading voices. So many angry diatribes are written by those who are associated with you because of left politics, and there’s truth there too, but I’m glad your writing is positive, positive about pleasure, and humor, and lots of things without being cynical or dour or anything of the sort. It’s what keeps something in me believing in it, what you speak to. I didn’t know you almost lost your life and I am glad you did so thanks for living and writing!

Actually your pro-pot piece in CP was quite … shall we say childish. I have been using, observing and experimenting with cannibis for over 40 years and still do occasionally and I found your piece to be ridiculously reminiscent of the old pot days when we thought pot (and acid) would change the world for the better. I’ve smoked all around the world and find that it is not so great and have seen many people caught in a pathetic time warp of simple-mindedness and sad sentimentality. The effects can be quite interesting but also very numbing. Look at the pot generation which is ruling our country now. Look at Clinton and Bush. It doesn’t work for enlightenment or insight. It’s old, passive, debilitating, reactionary. I see on the same page as your piece the coverage of Rolling Stones – – truly pathetic. There’s nothing new here except you. I guess it’s fun to get high and be naughty and counter-culture and all that but, really, big deal. And there is a lot of harm to be gotten from drugs – – look around you at all the legal drugs. You are advocating something that can be interesting but that should not be advocated. What about driving stoned? I guess it’s cute but really, you should be more critical – – in general. Responsible is not the right word. Basically, you don’t know what you are doing and are selling it to the next generation of submissive fools. I’ve seen this all before and here we go again. Give you and all something to do while inside and the world outside crumbles. I’m not advocating “involvement” — heaven forbid. Intelligence, The Awakening of Intellignece – – where is it? Have fun, for a while. Put on those headphones and listen to Sargent Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – – wow, how do they get those strange sounds, far-out, man. Here we go again. Take a look at Dennis Hopper. I guess, that’s the way it it. Do you get paid for writing that stuff? Alcohol is pretty cool as well. Hash is good if you don’t mix it with tobacco. – – LR

Suze – I live in the Emerald Triangle. Round here the hippies drive stretch cab Ford diesel 350s, which start at $40,000. A bit south in the real marijuana-industrial belt in southern Humboldt they have diesel generators for the greenhouses cycling 24/7, dumping waste oil in the ground. A steady trickle of killings, robberies etc. This is Big Ag-Business. Ever since prop 215 on medical marijuana it’s been a steadily expanding boom. You cd have noted that the new dope is about 20 times stronger than the stuff grown by the hippies in the early 70s. There is some evidence of a link to occurrence mental upsets, even schizophrenia in kids. In Mendocino country they’re trying to repeal Measure G which allows up to 100 plants or so in every garden. Too many robberies and violent incursions. It’s all a very mixed picture. Best Alex
