Say No To Drugs?



Richard “Tricky Dick” Nixon was the first American President to declare a “War on Drugs”, and ever since it has been an endless battle, a snake eating its own tail, and a whack-a-mole of the highest order. It seems you can’t stop people from sniffing, snorting, swallowing, binge-ing, smoking, injecting and indulging. It’s almost like it feels good or something - compulsion on the real. Either way, everyone from nice-white-lady-housewives, who, in the 1800s, were the leading abusers of opiates, to dread-locked-contemporary-prophets, chanting down Babylon - are getting high. AF.

This episode of #trashDAY explores the Minotaur maze of drug use at its most crackish and prescribed. Venerable hosts, k(Rob) and Doe Derek, are caught up in the trap, serving rocks from our most favored fiends: Snoop, Wayne, Wiz. Whitney, Michael, Brian. Amy, Janis, Dinah. Jim, Keith, Steve. Elvis, Rick, Ike. Not to mention plastic surgery junkies and “love” addicts, plus undercover devotees of Viagra and Cialis. Basically, the playlist is crunk tight.

In the '80s there was an anti-drug commercial featuring a frying egg in a cast iron skillet, something about a brain… but the last line was, “any questions?” To which we respond: “where the weed at?”
