A Poem for Linda Webster - Richard Brautigan

"Linda, Be kind to flowers
and stars and rivers.
Never tell lies to apples or rainbows.
Trust bread and jam and glasses
of ice-cold milk.
Give a full heart of love
to pigeons and slugs.
Always remember
that people are people
forgive them for it...
and love them for it...
If you do these things, Linda,
you needn't be afraid of death,
for you will never die."

ibogaine

ibogaine there are clinics down here in mexico some in canada and australia i think. suppose to be a groundbreaking treatment for opiate addicts. i remain skeptical but at this point im open minded to whatever.. its some root found in west afria, a hallucionagen that lasts quite a while. apparently if taken while withdrawing from heroin people have reported up 90% relief from withdrawal symptoms. its said that the ibogaine resets the addicts opiate receptors to a 'pre-addicted state' i dunno sounds a lil too good to be true doesnt it? an ex of mine from when i was back east has gotten the naltrexone implant. one gal i met back in asia got it after about 4 years of slamming and has been off junk for years now even though the implant is out. both her and my ex just seem to cross-addict though.. like she said after she got it she just ended up smoking crack in an effort to compensate and now she drinks a fair amount. my ex says hes been snorting K since the implant.. lol not much better from what i can tell.. i reckon if they could get high off opiates they would. seems like they r just desperately using whatever.. i want to stop wanting it! wanting it but not being able to have it just sounds misrable... and so! after long and careful deliberation i find i have gotten nowhere. lol "runnin over the same old ground, what have we found?"
