John Perry Barlow John Perry Barlow is co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and has also been a cattle rancher in Wyoming. Over the last 25 years, I've watched a lot of Deadheads, Buddhists, and other free-thinkers do acid. I've taken it myself. I still do occasionally, in a ritual sort of way. On the basis of their experience and my own, I know that the public terror of LSD is based more on media-propagated superstition than familiarity with its effects on the real world. I know this, and, like most others who know it, I have kept quiet about it. Shortly after the Bill of Rights was drafted, the English philosopher John Stuart Mill said, "Liberty resides in the rights of that person whose views you find most odious.

" I will go further and say that liberty resides in its exercise. Lately it seems that our necessary cranks have been falling silent, struck dumb by a general assault on libery in America. This is what is now taking place in our conduct of the War on Some Drugs.

Christiania is Copenhagen’s infamous, self-governed squat community. It was described to me as a magical town where cannabis is sold freely in the streets and hot, girly-looking boys frolic about giving people blowbacks. So when I was in Denmark I obvs HAD to go. Also, being a squatter myself, I feel a strange affinity with other squatters the world over. I wanted to be close to my people. Freetown Christiania is a self-proclaimed independent state of about 850 people, spanning 85 acres. It was founded in 1971 by a group of hippies, anarchists, and idealists after they squatted an abandoned military barracks in Copenhagen. The main cannabis trade in Christiania takes place on the centrally located Pusher Street (yes, really).

Though there’s a lot of pot, in 1979 the town administrated a "no hard drugs" policy which remains in effect today. Many of the houses in Christiania were built by the inhabitants themselves. I’d like to live here. Inside, we made friends with some locals. Better World... Other things... Popular Struggle Coordination Committee | Popular Struggle Coordination Committee.
