WEBERMAN TALKS ABOUT HEROIN

THE ONLY DOPE WORTH SHOOTING WAS NIXON!!! MY VIEWS ON SMACK BACK IN 1965, JIMI HENDRIX CAME INTO THE CAFE WHA WHERE I WORKED AS CASHIER AND DISHWASHER AND TOLD ME THAT ERIC BURDON DUG HIM OVER AT THE CAFE AU GO-GO AND WAS TAKING HIM TO ENGLAND TO OPEN FOR HIM. HENDRIX SAID "WEBERMAN, NOW I HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO TAKE EVERY DRUG THERE IS." I SAID "YOU SURE EVERY DRUG MAN?" Okay, Jimi did not die of a smack overdose. It was on Mandrax, the U.K.'s equivalent of Quaalude or Sopor. Jimi had gone to one of his female acquaintance's apartment, and she had made him a tuna salad sandwich.

Bob Dylan became a user after being exposed to it by Ray Gooch, who let Dylan crash at his crib, when Dylan first came to New York. Dylan was about 19 at the time. Dylan began by "experimenting" with dugi - in a parody of a Woody Guthrie song that Dylan sang in 1961 he changed some lines to "Howdy Hoodie Hugie, how'd you like to do some dugi." His girlfriend, Suzie Rotelo, (who won the dumbest bitch in the world prize in 1965) left him and he used it more. He began to realize that it took him into the world of dreams where symbolism resided. After all the first symbolism in literature comes from the Bible, where dreams
