An Inspired Short, Short Story

[STONEDOG]

THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING STORY I PICKED UP FROM A FRIEND AND NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT YOUR GOD IS IT MIGHT JUST BE APPLICABLE.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
DAGGA (WEED) IS A STORY-TELLING DRUG.
WHEN YOU SMOKE IT YOU THINK OF STORIES TO TELL. AND, IF YOU'RE ARTICULATE, AND HAVE COMPANY, SOMEBODY OR SOMEBODIES TO TALK TO, YOU TELL THESE STORIES.
WHETHER THEY LISTEN OR NOT.
THE BUSHMEN WERE THE GREATEST STORY-TELLERS OF ALL.
AND THEY SMOKED QUITE A BIT OF DAGGA. (OF COURSE, CIVILIZATION CLOSED THEIR CHAPTER AND THE MISSIONARIESTHREW THE GOOD BOOK AT THEM... NOW THEY'RE BARELY ALIVE.
DAGGA OPENS UP THE SKULL SO THAT ALL THAT GOES INTO THE MAKING OF A STORY GETS RIGHT THERE INTO THE GREY MATTER OF THE BRAIN, AND IF YOU'RE LIKE SOME BLESSED SOULS WHO WRITE WITH THEIR C*CKS, IT GETS INTO THE BLOOD AND THROBS AND PULSATES AND BECOMES AN EARTHY, FLESHY STORY WITH, SOMETIMES, NO HOLDS BARRED.
DAGGA IS ALSO VERY, VERY SPIRITUAL INDEED.
SOME PEOPLE CALL IT "DEVINE"... KUGELS NOTWITHSTANDING, DOLL!
DAGGA IS SPIRITUAL IN THE SENSE THAT, WHEN YOU SMOKE IT YOU CAN LOOK AT A PITHY LITTLE PLANT AND SAY "HOWZIT" OR "GOOD MORNING LITTLE LIFE".
YOU TALK TO THINGS. NOT JUST PEOPLE. YOU WISH THEM WELL AND ACCORD THEM DUE RESPECT.
YOU CAN SAY, WITH NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER, THAT DAGGA BRINGS ONE CLOSER TO GOD.
THAT'S WHY A FRIEND OF MINE INSISTS IT'S THE HOLY HERB.
HE SAYS HE ONCE SMOKED DAGGA SO GOOD, SO POTENT, THAT HE SAW GOD HIMSELF!
"AND BELIEVE YOU ME", HE SAID TO ME, "GOD SMOKES IT TOO!".
