Apparently the technique is twist, lick, dunk - twist them apart, lick off the vanilla cream and then dunk the biscuits in the bin.

I reckon LSD played a bigger part in that. The Beatles, Moody Blues, The Doors, Floyd et al..were all users.

That said, the likes of Zappa never did, so who knows for sure?

Recreational drugs should neither be glorified or demonized.  For me this is the crux of why we have problems with them.

Subject:  marijuana stigma

Bart, the main reason pot is viscerally hated is that it is entwined with the
'Hippie" peace movement and they commited the unpardonable sin. They were right.

The War was proven a waste and Nixon was proven a crook.
Liberals of that time (we) can NEVER be forgiven.
Hell, the guilty are already trying to re-write the failures of Iraq and Afghanistan.

They hate Clinton for "dodging" that war.
They hate Gore for serving in that war.
They hate Kerry for taking shrapnel in that war.

They hate, hate, hate everyone, involved or not, but REAL
draft-dodgers like Bush & Cheney get a pass, of course.

You know what's really funny about the hysteria regarding pot in this country is that at one time it was regarded as turning people into crazy violent homicidal maniacs.  Then it was criticized for making people too passive.  Nothing worse than passive crazy violent homicidal maniacs.

The ultimate insanity was the illlegalization of hemp, I mean, what the hell were they smoking?

I'm sorry no points or cash for that answer.  We're talking the 1930's in the case of this country.  Tobacco was the smoking drug of choice back then.

Trivia: one of our slang terms for marijuana is wacky tobaccy.
