Lawsamighty, is the midweek downer setting in already? Drug-positive doesn't mean an idiotic acceptance of behaviour that defies common sense, but rather a healthy appreciation and, dare I say it, respect for our chemical friends. I suspect what's at the heart of this is that Deep chose to skewer some of the slackjawed uncritical acceptance of the put-anything-in-yer-mouth school of recreation, with an incisive wit to boot. Don't like his humour? Think about why. It's hard to be helpful when the 500th person pops up and asks why they feel icky after stacking 20 hits with mom's Xanax and a few licks off a toad. Deep's done a shitload more than just about anyone to make things positive and safe. Instead of just TALKING, he's out there busting his ass and DOING. He's the guy that makes sure you're okay when he finds you, a stranger, wigging out in a corner. He's the guy who will check you for dehydration and stick by you until you're better. He's the guy who will spend hours reading clinical studies so that the rest of us can benefit and stay healthy. He's the guy that takes the freedom and positivity of the scene seriously enough to make it happen. So he's perfectly entitled to use his very high Spot Bullshit Roll (5D20) when he sniffs it. I would take Deep's advice on just about anything, because he cares enough to cut through the meaningless PLURs that people spew, and present us all with the sometimes unpalatable truths of our chosen sport. Thanks to Deep's hard work, I never have to worry about spending Tuesday morning wondering why the voices in my head won't shut up. Whatever you think about his humour (I find it a pretty amusing satire of some of the circulating mentalities), it doesn't change the fact that Deep knows his shit and backs it up with action, which is more than I can say for about 95% of the folks who mouth the bullshit platitudes and then live as if they hadn't recited anything more meaningful than the week's shopping list.
