The Cannabis ally has a way of pretending that she's not doing anything. ... Experienced ganja smokers adjust and lead quite ordinary-looking and often successful lives. ... Some of them get high every day. But just as tobacco and heroin habitues need their ally to feel normal, so the hemp smoker can confuse his intoxication for the ground state — a mistake the doctor of our lineage ought never make.
