Daily Tel. (London) 30 Jan. n.p.: May I interest you in some Aunt Mary? Or perhaps a little baby bhang? No, I can see, you prefer El Diablito. Or bambalacha? Juju? Laughing weed? Doobie, chillum, ganja, blue de Hue, black mo, ding, bud, leaf, Marley, pachalolo? Of course, how could I be so foolish, some rainy day woman? Still not with me? How about some skunk, righteous bush or, let’s be perfectly clear, marijuana? |
