Ancient Fable:
Three men, one under the influence of alcohol, another steeped in opium, a third intoxicated by marihuana, arrived one night at the closed gates of a Persian city.
“Let us break down the gates!” roared the drunkard.
“Nay,” said the opium eater. “Let us rest until morning, when we may enter through the wide-flung portals.”
“You may do as you wish,” was the decision of the omnipotent marihuana addict. “But I shall stroll through the keyhole.”
