Bluelight Hall of Saints

[muttonchops]

Very much like any other cult / faith / religion etc I think bluelight should have a set of saints whom we regard to be worthy enough to represent our ideas and values. Just for a bit of fun really, post your nominations for the bluelight hall of saints. Ill kick things off:

Professor David Nutt for being outspoken on the issue of illegal drugs in the face of adversity. He continues to give common sense commentary and has thrust the debate right into the public eye.

Jean-Pierre Galland, France's main cannabis activist, who had a trial in the nineties and was sentenced to pay a huge fine or go to prison, for having sent one joint of skunk to each French Parliament Representative (roughly 350 joints) accompanied by a letter asking to depenalize cannabis.

[juniortha3rd]

I guess that a Saint of bluelight would have to be a person that everyone agrees on and considering what a mixed bunch posts on this website, it would be difficult to reach a consensus

so far, only St. Hofmann fits the bill. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone on this website that has an unkind word for Albert Hofmann

 

[watsons torment]

Curtis Warren

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Keef.

 

[coombesy]

yeh man st. hofmann all the way!!

proff nutt is good tho sacking him for stating his findings publicly was wrong and i was outside downing street to protest it

 

[juniortha3rd]

my nomination would be Saint Chong

he's the stoner archetype and he's already been persecuted

 

[Disco Doctor]

Remember this guy? The vaporiser chap in the Hemp museum in Amsterdam?

He was awesome. He was wanted in America and that.

Jack Kerouac

Huxley was a bit of an arse at times.

Huxley was a bit of an arse at times.

While Kerouac was an amiable alcoholic eh?

Cock-fest so far:

Ann Shulgin

I don't like Ann Shulgin much. She reckons Ketamine is an 'evil' drug, the 'worst' drug in the world (I've heard her say both these things) - and she has never taken it (and never will as she refuses to). Meh.

 

[Bella Figura]

Yeah but she looks FINE!.

(i dont particularly like her, just pointing out the complete lack of female saints in this thread)

 

[Jackal]

Predictable, given that KK and HST have already been mentioned but: Tom Wolfe.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Yeah but she looks FINE!.

Yeah, Kara would probably have 'er.

(i dont particularly like her, just pointing out the complete lack of female saints in this thread)

Females and drugs - a winning combination but hard to find.
