the spectre of paranoia

how do you guys deal with it?
I mean, the grim meathook reality of it all is, people are out to get us psychedelic users.
Even though we don't hurt anyone, don't steal, and generally keep to ourselves, aren't a menace to society,
there are still people who are paid to hunt us down and put us in jail.
and what they don't realize is that we are all 'dealers'. I mean, everyone here probably knows where to get something and knows people that don't know how to get it. So just because we help eachother out every now and then, we are all 'dealers'.
I remember this one rave where I saw all these people being detained, and this cute little raver girl was pointing at them and talking to the cops. So basically, they were using this cute little girl to go around trying to buy drugs from everyone, then busting the ones that helped her out. Seeing that made me decide never to trust a random person at a concert ever again.
Sometimes I still get paranoid that maybe the cops will one day bust in my door and haul me off to jail.
the way I deal with this is to never keep anything really incriminating at my house for too long. Other than herb, I don't really keep a consistent stash of drugs around, so that way if they bust me Ill be out the next day with only misdemeanor charges.
Bust still sometimes I'm tripping at my apartment and I freak out and get paranoid which obviously causes a bad trip. Does this happen to you guys at all? How do you deal with it?
I once told a cop hey, if you put me in jail I'll just learn from the thugs in there and come out harder on the other side. That actually seems to scare them a little.
But really man, I wish this drug war were over. So I could just work my bullshit job, come home, smoke out and not have to worry about persecution.

yeah, 'que sera, sera'
just tired of the government using fear to try and control me.
like in my waking state, I know its bullshit, and don't give a fuck,
but when I'm fryin real hard it does get to me.
I remember something like that from the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, where he was talking about how the cops cause bad trips by making everyone paranoid and threatening them with these harsh sentences for a basically victimless crime...

I hear you. I just try to assume a bold attitude of "COME WHAT MAY." In fact, when I'm tripping, I even write it down in my journal for me to see. That single phrase helps me not to be afraid and to face the unknown.
No matter what happens...I trust myself to be okay. They can throw me in jail and prosecute me all they wish, but they will not break my psychedelic spirit and they cannot take away all the experiences I've had so far on these special chemicals. Hahaha. Idiots. They can throw us in prison, but they will not break us. The human spirit is beyond bullshit government regulation.
So...that helps me not to worry about it. "Come what may."
No matter what happens, I will be okay. 
I just try to remember that...and I have much less paranoia.
But it is ENRAGING for me to imagine all those poor psychedelic users that have been thrown in jail because of drugs. It reminds me of how much I fucking hate the condition of the world right now. (not just the US...most countries have strict drug laws it seems with the exception of a few)

I also admit when I'm tripping I cultivate more of an attitude about it...a fearless sort of "BRING IT ON, BITCHES" type of thing. I will not let the make ME afraid. No fucking way.

You know how "paranoia" is considered a side effect from smoking pot..... Or just government propoganda eeking its way into out subconcious.

yeah, I always look to my old buddy Jesus for inspiration.
I mean, they killed him but he still lives on in our hearts and minds, you know they can take one of us out but they'll never get us all.
I've spent a night or two in jail before and I ain't afraid
but the fact that its even a possibility pisses me off, especially since I really try to be a good person and mind my own fucking business.
I know its cool and all, I mean my old man is a lawyer, his fucking name is on the outside of the building and shit like he has 50 lawyers working for him, he could probably get me out of anything, but I just don't want to be an embarassment to my family and shit.
I dunno, I guess its just hard to be an honest man in a world full of liars. You know that half those CEO's are all on speed and coke and they never get in trouble cuz they got legal back and big money. People like that keep drugs illegal just so they can put minorities and the poor in jail.
I'm just tired of the whole hypocrisy and this grey fucking area like I never know which side of the line I'm on. Shit the drugs I get prolly come from the feds at some point on the chain, but if I ever got caught I'm sure they'd deny all knowledge

I hate it too. I hate the fact that people try and control what I put into my body. I consider their attempt to do so an insult on the soul level.
Anyway, I'm off to work for the man. (and his dog )
