Well, all of us, really.<br/><br/><br/>I quit the weed a few years back because I was getting more and more prone to paranoia when high, so I suspect that if the thought &quot;Holy Crap!  I'm dying of cancer!&quot; were lurking in my mind it might well not enhance the experience.  I'd have to find out though.<br/><br/>Coincidentally, I'm reminded of Aldous Huxley, author of The Doors of Perception and a man who shuffled off this mortal coil while tripping balls.  He went as far as, part way through the experience, asking for a second dose as he was coming down.<br/><br/>That, I think, would be a good way to go.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[doggylives @ 5/12/2008 4:02:48 PM]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/61450/1/rss0_91.rss#q8</link><description><![CDATA[<div class='qp pad d'><a class="page-dull td" href="/plime-com/l/61450/1/#q7"><b>&laquo;</b></a>&nbsp;<i><b>pocksucket</b> : I'm just echoing sentiments already expressed, but hell yeah.<br/><br/>If I had a death sentence like pancreatic cancer you can guarantee that the first thing I'd do is start smoking again.<br/><br/>I reckon I might have developed a pretty healthy heroin habit by the end of, ooh, lets say the evening.<br/><br/>It'd pretty much be that if they can make it I'd take it.</i></div> I reckon given the circustances I'd have to join you chasing the dragon ;)<br/><br/>Although my drug of choice would be weed if I didn't have long to live.
