Notes:1. Marihuana Reconsidered: pp. 225-26. (back) 2. History of marijuana as an American medicine: see Edward M. Brecher and the editors of Consumer Reports, Licit and Illicit Drugs, chapter 54. (back) 3. Mystic: Itzik Lodzer, "Notes from the Jewish Underground: Psychedelics and Kabbalah," Response 2:1 (Winter 1968): 9-21. (back) 4. I sat down: I am indebted to Walter Houston Clark for providing this quotation from his research. (back) 5. Such references are reminiscent of the Rastafarians, a Jamaican religious sect that uses ganja in its rituals, citing various Old Testament proof-texts. One of their names for cannabis is "the wisdom weed"; the Rastafarians say that cannabis was first grown on the grave of King Solomon, the wisest man on earth. Curiously, this same group has a strong taboo against both alcohol and tobacco, and the Rastafarians sing songs praising the benefits of ganja, the natural substance, over those of rum, which is man-made. (Rastafarians: Leonard E. Barrett, The Rastafarians, pp. 1 28-36.) A similar argument is also heard among some American smokers, who cite a popular saying: "God made grass, man made liquor. Who do you trust?" (back) 6. Schachter's version of the story contains an additional line: "So Satan became a pusher." (back)
