Hello Broadway


Can * nois * eur ( Kan' us sur' ), n. one competent to render critical judgement on the qualities and merits of cannabis

"The most amazing property of cannabis is its ability to fog the minds of those who do not use it."

Heads Up: We dropped by Re-Leaf, 1284 Mission @ 9th for a quick survey of what's available and discovered a bona-fide bargain. Kongo Kush, a fluffy hybrid is available at $25 the eighth. While sceptical at first, a taste test proved most positive. Strong and mellow, this strain is Indica dominant and was quite effective in cooling out the side effects of a medical procedure--as well as grooving some relaxing TV time.
There is another strain, Grape Mendicino, available at the same righteous price but we have yet to taste.


Hello Broadway


As soon as i landed in New York i called the Twins. Annie invited me to crash in their West Side pad and i gratefully accepted. There was a lot happening and the Twins were at the hub. The night i arrived, i slipped away from the nightly party and went to bed, exhausted by the flight, and ready to tackle the next day's biz. About one in the a.m. i was awakened by Annie and a smiling young, black dude. This cat was an up and coming jazz pianist named Herbie Hancock.
They were all about to drop acid and invited me to join, but i knew i wasn't ready. Just off a plane, tired, wired and underfed, i said thanks Herbie, but Pasadena.
Now Lady M and i had a system. She would send me Baalbek's Best, care of American Express.
i would retrieve it, and send her a plane ticket to NYC. Before she left Rome, she would dispatch the rest. Meanwhile i hit the ground running trying to get work as an actor.
My lean, hungry, long-haired look got me a few interviews but i was still too rad for the room.
Life at the Twins place was a nightly cavalcade. One night it was acid, the next junk. But the junkies were far from enlightened. One morning a young guest who used a telephone cord to tie up, came into the bedroom to ask if i had stolen his wallet. There were also any number of loose ladies on the set but i was determined to stay faithful. Lady M and i had shared a great adventure, and i doubted if any of these NY dolls were up to the challenge. But it was tempting as hell.
Another of the Twins' guests at that time was Paul Krassner, editor of The Realist. i offered him a hit of my good hash, but at the time Krassner had yet to toke up. In fact he seemed rather
disapproving.
Anyway, the first batch arrived at the AMEX postal service, and was out the door by the next day. i wired Lady M her travel money and starting looking for an apartment.
