Get the Skiing in the Alps mug.from Louis Armstrong's autobiography:
Speaking of 1931 - we did call ourselves Vipers, which could have been anybody from all walks of life that smoked and respected gage. That was our cute little name for marijuana, and it was a misdemeanor in those days. Much different from the pressure and charges the law lays on a guy who smokes pot - a later name for the same thing which is cute to hear nowadays. We always looked at pot as a sort of medicine, a cheap drunk and with much better thoughts than one that's full of liquor. But with the penalties that came, I for one had to put it down though the respect for it (gage) will stay with me forever. I have every reason to say these words and am proud to say them. From experience.

Get the gage mug.the Johnny Appleseed of MDMA
Oakland psychologist and psychotherapist Leo Zeff, "the Johnny Appleseed of MDMA", pioneered a variety of drug-assisted therapies with his patients. Zeff was no ordinary therapist. He once wrote about dancing with a Torah while tripping on LSD.
Dr Zeff was introduced to MDMA by Dr Alexander Shulgin. Zeff's response was wildly enthusiastic. He postponed his retirement and began to proselytise.
Dr Zeff introduced MDMA to hundreds of his fellow therapists across the USA. Zeff christened MDMA "Adam". The name was chosen because the drug typically strips away a lifetime of anxieties, self-protective inhibitions and ego defence-mechanisms - returning the user to an allegedly primordial state of innocence.
