GETTING HIGH

 The polls closed about an hour ago but the final results 
regarding the various marijuana initiatives have not yet been 
revealed. Actually, at this point in my life, I don’t really care very 
much. Marijuana is no longer a part of my life and has not been 
for a few decades. Right now, my major feelings are that the idea 
of medical marijuana is nonsense. If there is little conclusive 
evidence that the drug is harmful, then its use should be legalized 
for everyone. If the stuff is determined to be harmful, then its 
use should be prohibited, I guess. Frankly it is doubtful that marijuana ingestion is 
more harmful than alcohol or nicotine or caffeine and its prohibition results from 
concerns other than scientific proof of its destructive potential.

 If one wishes to analyze marijuana use, legalistically it seems to me that along with 
the enumerated first amendment freedoms of speech, religion, press, and association 
there is an important but non-enumerated freedom of internal experience. The 
idea of protecting people from themselves is foolhardy in the first place. Education 
makes more sense and is more effective than legal prohibition anyway. 

 I think it is important to make some attempt to understand the cultural effects 
that marijuana usage has had over the past fifty years or so. Let me try and illustrate 
these effects just by talking about the differences between my sister and myself. I am 
three years older than my sister. At age eighteen I went off to college; first to UCLA 
and then to U C Berkeley. At age eighteen my sister got married to a man a few 
years older than herself. Almost fifty years later they are still together, live in a lovely 
house, and seem pretty happy. Neither of them ever went to college but they earn 
or have earned more money than I have, notwithstanding my UCLA Law Degree. 
My brother-in-law has mentioned a couple of times that he believes I feel superior 
to them because of my College attendance.

 It is true that I feel much removed from them but that does not result from 
anything I learned in College Classes. The social distance comes from a difference 
in life experience and that difference in life experience involves smoking marijuana. 
Just about everyone I knew in College smoked marijuana. This little habit put all 
of us on the other side of the law and forced us all to keep secrets. Inevitably, we 
mid-1960 College Kids were forced to look at the laws as ridiculous and unfair. As 
males, my friends and I were subject to a mandatory draft as part of a war effort 
that we did not understand or support. Combine these factors with the music that 
was all-around us, “It’s one, two, three, four-What the hell are we fighting for?” 
It all combined to form a certain kind of perspective. Disregarding our obvious 
privileges (the University of California was free in those days) many, many of us felt 
like victims in a crazy world that did not understand us and was doing its best to kill 
us. All right, that was fifty years ago and most people have moved on (not me) and 
have formed new perspectives, but memories of those feelings will always linger. 

 Before I leave the subject of marijuana, I want to recount my memory of my first 
marijuana experience. Out of the blue in 1962 my friend Mike asked if I wanted to 
try marijuana. I had barely heard of the stuff and said “Sure”. We smoked some and 
suddenly the world was wonderful. You know colors, sights, the music on the radio, 
everything was kind of great. “You want to get a chili-dog?” he said. Now get this. 
I had never experienced a chili-dog because… I’m not really sure of this, but I think 
in our Jewish secular home we only ate all beef hot dogs and not the kind with pork 
in it. I had never purchased a hot dog out in the world. So what did I say? “Sure let’s 
get one.” To this day I remember how wonderful that chili dog was and I remember 
how I felt as I ate it. How wonderful it was to be out of the house and to have friends 
and to be able to make decisions for myself. It’s hard to believ,e but at this time I 
had never even tasted pizza or an enchilada. I felt the world opening up to me and 
I associated that feeling with good old, incredibly cheap marijuana. 

 Where would I be without marijuana? Probably my sister and her husband 
have had their share of chili-dogs, but I’m not sure. I know they do not understand 
the wonder of the illicit nature of the drugs combined with the great fun of being 
high together with friends, separate and apart from the world of parents. Maybe 
that’s still part of the trip - when kids get high imagining that their experiences 
are qualitatively different from the experiences of their eternally backward parents. 
Maybe that’s what gives the ever-emerging new generations some glimmer of Hope. 
After all, it is all too clear that they sure can’t depend on us!!

OUT TO PASTOR 

A Weekly Religion Column by Rev. James Snyder

AND I THOUGHT I WAS CONFUSED

I have concluded 
that life, as it stands 
out in the public 
arena, is a very confusing 
thing. As I 
watched the news 
and see scandal after scandal unfold and 
people trying to dance around the facts 
so that they come out looking good, I am 
reminded of how that doesn't work for 
me.

I have a new TV show I want to pitch to 
someone. I am calling it, "Dancing with 
the Idiots." The genius of the show is 
there is no shortage of contestants. The 
problem with this show would be who is 
the idiot to beat all idiots?

Since I am not a very good dancer this 
does not work for me.

I think the difference is, I have to answer 
to the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. 
Believe me, she was not born yesterday 
but I will not give the exact year 
for obvious reasons. I used to do that but 
that is when I learned I could not dance, 
at all.

When I was very young and more confused 
than I am today I thought I could 
get away with anything. Believe me, 
I tried. I could write a book, but then 
there are so many people I would not 
want to read it that it would not be worth 
publishing.

One problem is associated with this kind 
of thinking. If you get away with something, 
who in the world can you brag to 
about it? If I do something behind my 
wife's back and actually get away with it, 
where is the consolation prize?

I think the only thing that really illustrates 
this is fishing. When I was younger, 
I loved to fish. The wonderful world 
of angling consists of two kinds of fishermen: 
those who brag a lot and those who 
catch a lot and the twain shall never cross 
rods.

I was an avid fisherman and it was a long 
time before I figured out that in the 23rd 
Psalm David is not talking about a fishing 
rod when he says, "thy rod and thy 
staff they comfort me." Be that as it may, 
my fishing rod did a great deal of comforting 
me back in "the day."

When I would go fishing and come 
home empty-handed, I could brag about 
the big one that got away. Of course, every 
time I told the story the fish got just a 
little bit bigger. But who is going to correct 
me on that? Who is to say that it was 
not really that big? Or, even bigger?

When I came home with a bunch of fish, 
the catch spoke for itself. After all, how 
in the world can you exaggerate something 
when it is right before you? Who 
do you think I am? A politician?

If you do think you are getting away with 
something, somebody will see you and 
share that information with somebody 
else who will share that information 
with somebody else until it has come 
full circle. Thus begins the dizzy world 
of confusion.

Just this week, for example, I was caught. 
I hate getting caught.

I had come home after a long day at the 
office and my wife greeted me with, "I 
saw Mrs. Jones who said she saw Mrs. 
Smith who told her that Mrs. Grant saw 
you buying an Apple Fritter at Publix. Is 
there any truth in it?"

Any husband knows he will never win 
any argument when there are four women 
who testify to the contrary of what he 
is about to say.

The best procedure at this point is to 
fall on the mercy of the Gracious Mistress 
of the Parsonage. Because, I have 
discovered the great secret to marital 
bliss. Simply put, when she is happy, I 
am happy. The trick is to find out what 
makes her happy.

When I am thus caught with the alleged 
Apple Fritter, she is happiest when I confess 
and say the magical words, "You're 
right!" Arguments have disappeared. 
The only thing I have to hear now is, 
"Well, don't let it happen again." And the 
marital bliss is back on track and I have 
averted a personal train wreck.

A long time ago, I understood the difference 
between being happy and being 
right. Yes, there is that time when you 
need to stand your ground regardless of 
the consequence. My philosophy of life 
is to simply pick your battles very carefully. 
Not every battle is worth the scars.

After all, when you are caught with the 
goods in hand, denying it is the epitome 
of stupidity. Unless I am a politician, 
I want to stay away from stupidity as 
much as possible.

The thing about denying the scandal you 
might be in at the time is, it only prolongs 
the focus on the scandal. Perhaps 
some politicians could take my advice 
and confess fully when caught with the 
goods in hand. Saying, "I'm sorry," is the 
first step in putting something behind 
you.

Someone said that confession is good 
for the soul. It is good for many other 
things as well. The Bible is sure good on 
this aspect of confession.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and 
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse 
us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 
KJV).

The world can be very confusing if 
we are not willing to 'fess up and try 
straightening things out.
