“Like to the Artick needle, that doth guide
The wand’ring shade by his magnetick pow’r,
And leaves his silken Gnomon to decide
The question of the controverted houre;”

“Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demonized. The idea that anyone can use drugs and escape a horrible fate is an anathema to these idiots. I predict that in the near future, right wingers will use drug hysteria as a pretext to set up an international police apparatus.”
—Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Father Tom Murphy (William S. Burroughs)
