I've smoked my share of pot, and probably somebody else's. Though I've long since retired from the Brotherhood of the Bud, there are a few people I'd smoke with if the opportunity arose. Bob Dylan. Willie Nelson. Snoop Dogg. My favorite bands, The Cat Empire and Les Negresses Vertes.

Oh, and my dad. It would have brought on a host of other problems, but I wonder how things might have turned out with the whole union fiasco if he'd been a pothead instead of an alcoholic; he might have been able to take losing that election in stride. Instead of going out to kill somebody, he might have moved us to Idaho and started doing yoga. 

Anyway, here's our little imaginary smoke break.
