DOPE SMOKING

Fundamentally the smoking of roll-ups

Is an autocratic habit,

Cigarette smoking a bureaucratic habit,

Cigar smoking a democratic habit,

And pipe smoking a theocratic habit.

Smoking 'joints', on the other hand,

Is fundamentally a quasi-theocratic habit,

On account of the anti-supernatural status

Of 'joints' as extended roll-ups with dope,

Whereas the smoking of dope in a pipe

Confers a supernatural status

Commensurate with a pseudo-theocratic habit.
