			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/29/morelysafer.jpg" title="morelysafer.jpg" alt="morelysafer.jpg" align="right" />A few months ago I woke up from a <a href="http://www.collegecandy.com/body/9862">Salvia induced trip</a>, naked in my living room, surrounded by crumpled newspaper. As the Thai Buddha, who had just a few minutes ago been telling me &#8216;<em>not to let the planet overwhelm me</em>,&#8217; faded from view, I realized that in my stupor I had somehow managed to turn on <em>60 Minutes</em>.</p>
<p>I usually don&#8217;t watch this show because in my opinion it embodies everything wrong about aging. It&#8217;s basically saying &#8216;<em>being old and curmudgeon-y is part of aging, let&#8217;s be closed off to the world that&#8217;s different from what we remember</em>,&#8217; and also because Andy Rooney drinks baby&#8217;s blood and I can&#8217;t support that (could he clean his office?).</p>
<p>Anyways, on this episode, Morley Safer<em> (calculating age based on name&#8230;estimated age: 200) </em>did a piece on a group of people called Millennials.  The piece was supposed to be about how these people (born in between 1980 and 1995? He&#8217;s talking about you) are ruffling feathers in the white collar work force with their crazy tattoos and pudding pops and “Pokemans.” Bosses are &#8216;<em>terrified</em>.&#8217;<span id="more-10071"></span></p>
<p><code></p>
<p>But what's betrayed by his language and description of these types of people is that it isn't their style choices that frighten Morley, but their '<em>inability to hear the word no</em>' and how they were completely spoiled by a culture where '<em>everybody wins</em>.'  As I watched, it slowly became clear to me that this segment was really about Safer's theory that young people are Draculas. He couldn't fathom how anyone who grew up in such a way could operate in the real world.</p>
<p>Pro Tip, Safer: The real world is f*cked up thanks to old white motherf*ckers like yourself and their 'work ethic.'  Perhaps people more invested in happiness than finance will eventually read some literature about the unfair distribution of wealth and change this terrible system.</p>
<p>And yeah, maybe I <em>did</em> get a trophy for my 5<sup>th</sup> place finish in remedial 11 and 12's soccer. Sorry I wasn't taught from a young age that the world is going to run me over and that maybe I should just give up and sell my soul for a 401k and a paycheck that'll keep me just alive enough to feel dead. The mentality  around rewarding loss isn't about making everyone feel like a winner, you idiotic dipsh*t. It's about making the game FUN for everyone who plays. It teaches the old chestnut '<em>it's not about who wins or loses, but how you play the game, and how much fun you had doing it</em>.'</p>
<p>That mentality, which you take as 'the inability to hear the word no,' is basically the pursuit of real happiness, not money. So yeah, we are going quit when we get mistreated. And no, we won't work 60 hours a week for more money. And yes, we want to wear what we want, because what we wear has nothing to do with how hard we work.</p>
<p>Google is a corporate monster. It eats the companies you dream about (with people in ties, clanging on typewriters) for godd*mn breakfast. You know what people do when they don't feel like programming at Google? They go play in the f*cking ball pit and eat soft serve fro-yo while texting on their 'rasberry contraptions.'</p>
<p>I know many people over 60 who are f*cking cool and people like you are giving aging a bad name. Get a life, Safer Morley...and stop nagging on my generation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://collegecandy.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/salvia7in.jpg" style="width:349px;height:349px;" title="salvia7in.jpg" alt="salvia7in.jpg" align="left" />I&#8217;ve never been one to say no to an experience that sounds interesting.  This inclination has led me down a few paths my parents would probably not be happy to learn about &#8212; one of those paths being recreational drug use.</p>
<p>Now, before certain readers out there go all NARC on my ass, let me say that I make it a point to stay away from hard drugs.  No coke, no herion&#8230;nothing that&#8217;s genetically altered to speed me towards an early death.  I like to stick to the hippie stuff; weed, shrooms, hashish&#8230;you know, things that come from nature.  And I&#8217;m <em>very</em> careful about who I purchase this stuff from.  Those of us that partake in these sorts of relaxation techniques should <em>always</em> be careful about that sort of thing.  People are a**holes.</p>
<p>Right, so public service announcement over.  What I&#8217;m <em>really</em> writing about is this article I recently read on <a href="http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2008/06/18/salvia/">Salon.com about Salvia</a>, a hallucinogenic substance that&#8217;s illegal in about 10 states and is probably going to be made illegal in a bunch more very soon.  According to the author of the article (and a few friends of mine), Salvia is super potent &#8212; but only for 5 to 10 minutes.  Apparently, you will trip <em>off your ass</em> and see the weirdest sh*t in the world (including Aztec Gods&#8230;or at least that&#8217;s what the writer saw), but it&#8217;ll all be over in minutes.<span id="more-9862"></span></p>
<p>Lots of people want <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia_divinorum">Salvia</a> banned because, well, I mean&#8230;it can basically be classified as a drug, and if weed is going to be criminalized, allowing Salvia to be bought over the internet kind of makes the whole <em>keep pot illegal</em> argument look stupid.</p>
<p>Based on the descriptions in the <span style="font-style:italic;">Salon</span> article, and descriptions from my friends (&#8220;<em>I was sitting inside the sun, dude.  Like, </em>literally<em> inside the sun.  It was all round and hot.  Like SO hot. And crazy BRIGHT!!  How did I not go BLIND?!</em>&#8220;), I&#8217;m not really eager to jump on the Salvia bandwagon.  It sounds a little too intense for my taste.  I smoke to relax, not travel to the 5th dimension, and any trip that people recommend having a &#8220;sober buddy around&#8221; for is not a trip I really want to be taking.</p>
<p>Have any of you ever had experiences with Salvia?  Do you think it should be illegal?</p>
