Would that be the William Sessions who was sacked because of what the NY times described as an 'endless record of chiseling and expense-account padding'?
Bet he felt like something a bit stronger than a Martini that evening .... LOL.
My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.
Been a long time since I sat in a room in which a joint was doing the rounds but I was talking with somebody the other night about the pros and cons of legalising marijuana and her concerns were with the alleged trigger effect it can have on people with latent mental health issues.
Well it never gave you any mental health issues did it?
last time I had any was a couple of years after uni when someone passed round some "super skunk" whilst we were having a drink after work in the sunshine. After a few puffs I promptly pulled a "whitey" staggered home (having already consumed about a bottle and a half of wine) sat on the bog and promptly threw up in my pants.
I used to smoke it a bit when I was about 15 then suddenly started getting freaked out by it. I actually developed (undiagnosed) depersonalisation disorder for a few years as a result.
I only found out what the condition was called when I stumbled across a film called "Numb" with some bloke out of "Friends" this year (some twenty years later). The film is a true story and is about a bloke who's smoking cannabis and suddenly develops the disorder. It happened to me in exactly the same way and I can remember the exact moment that I went from enjoying a spliff to feeling like a nutter.
Hard to say but I think I'd have had this experience without the puff but I think it'd have come later in life.
