I Was Once A Shameless, Full-time Dope

Casting The Locals Is My Primary Concern Because All The Other Things You Assume Will Be Manageable.

Usually When I Read Something, First Of All I'm Looking For The Story And Then When I Reread It, I'm Sort Of Checking Every Part Of It To See If Every Scene Is Necessary.

Even If You Try To Copy A Film Shot By Shot, You Still Can't. It's Still Your Own Film.

Narcotics Have Been Systematically Scapegoated And Demonized. The Idea That Anyone Can Use Drugs And Escape A Horrible Fate Is Ananathema To These Idiots. I Predict That In The Near Future, Right Wingers Will Use Drug Hysteria As A Pretext To Set Up An International Police Apparatus.

If You Don't Have The Story And The Unfolding Of The Trajectory Of The Saga, It's Like Getting In A Car And Not Having Any Gas.
