Marijuana, not only for medicinal use

hawkmeeuw — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:55:42 +0000

For several years I’ve lived in the Netherlands, and for the people that still don’t know: marijuana is illegal there. But only de iure. Because of the so called “gedoogbeleid” (policy of toleration), the posession and growth of small quantities of the stuff is not prosecuted.

In praxis the drugs are only sold in coffeeshops. This also is subject to the gedoogbeleid, meaning it’s illegal but tolerated. Any self respecting Dutch city has at least one coffeeshop, not just Amsterdam.

The Dead Flag Blues

hawkmeeuw — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:28:23 +0000

The car’s on fire and there’s no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we’re on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn

We’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death

The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

It went like this

The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair

The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze

I said, “Kiss me, you’re beautiful..
These are truly the last days”

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down
For sure it’s the valley of death

I open up my wallet
And it’s full of blood

Lyrics of The Dead Flag Blues by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
