Pharmacology


Tonight I hung out with some new Austin friends.  They're younger and they're cool and I'm not made of friends at this point, so I won't turn down any new opportunities to hang or meet "folks"  I hung out with two people that schooled me on drugs.  I'm old; and I'm behind the times, and my drug of choice is expensive wine.  To roll with youth in Austin, people must know that Molly refers to pure MDMA.  Although there is some question to how pure all "Molly" is.  In my day this was called Ecstasy but I digress.  Further, the explanation of the strains of cannabis and offshoots can make your head spin.  The most interesting point for me is the debate surrounding salvia.  I have heard of it.  My Austin friends seem to believe it was concocted in a lab.  In fact, it has been used medicinally by shamans in Mexico for decades.  My takeaway from the evening is, to quote my friend Joe, "Austinites are drug snobs..."
