It's a dig at the idea that my films promote drug use. Medical cannabis is legal in New Zealand: it was meant for users. I'm fine with being a global symbol for legalising cannabis and psychedelics. - Working For Each Other is different to my other films. It's aware of the global audience, which wasn't true of the Palestine rally from December. - Since Suresh moved to Auckland, there have been several promising drug trials, so we're likely to legalise psychedelics through a medical-therapeutic regime. Like DMT: The Spirit Molecule, but for today. Personally, I think the experiments in that book are slightly suspect, as he wasn't able to fully control for set, setting and drug. - I've never taken uppers, but Paul reckons that benzedrine works for him. As a treatment for bipolar depression, it's reportedly better than MDMA.
Dennis McKenna told Gary that he'd come to New Zealand to give a talk about a decade ago. AMPP is keen to look at drug law reform as one of our main issues. As always, I prefer to do my own thing that's separate from the sanctioned version.
