Oh, I'm sorry, I guess drug use isn't part of the Dead Head culture.  I
guess that all the people I've ever known who were "into the Dead" lied
when they talked about all the drugs they took.  Nor did kids who wanted to
be part of the the "Dead family" take drugs to really enjoy the experience.
And I guess several close friends of mine from high school didn't screw
their lives up because of their drug influenced invlovement with being dead
heads. I apologize, my mistake.  Maybe they drive type IIs down in
Medelline.
