The first distillate is sold fresh - and unbranded, as urak. I had three large shots of urak with lunch yesterday at Lounguinho's: the local equivalent of a "three martini lunch." Great! At just 10 bucks a shot - while the pork chops cost more than a hundred. Great!
Had more urak last night. Bought it from a local bar - unbranded - for a hundred, and downed four or five large shots. High as a kite! Far out!
Met a chap from a "consumer protection group" - and told him about Torts.
The retailer is liable if unbranded stuff is harmful. This includes medicines. And masalas and spices. Or edible oils.
Hope the fellow got my drift - since I had drifted quite far away, in terms of height above sea level.
Woke up this morning wanting to sit atop Mount Kailash - wanted to smoke some Bhola.
Spent 2k on some "seedless grass" and some charas - and extinguished both spliffs after a few puffs.
Awful stuff!
Received the following anonymous blog comment from a Goan this morning:
It is tough for Goans to read about drug cases tarnishing the image of the state in the eyes of the nation, even though, Goa may be far behind Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore or Chennai in terms of the quantity of drugs flowing on the streets. Every year, there are over 1,000 cases in Mumbai alone against drug peddlers, compared to just about 55 to 60 cases in Goa.
Still, the latest to sting the Goans is the David Driham alias Dudu drug case, which has got murkier by the day not because of the seizure alone, but because of video clippings claiming evidence against the cops. This time, it has tarnished the image of the cops beyond repair because PSI Sunil Gudlar is allegedly seen exchanging some packets, ostensibly containing drugs, with foreigners. The allegation is that he was selling drugs and taking bribe. The top brass of the state police took undue time to suspend Gudlar in the case. When the first video clippings came out, they looked morphed, but the second and third video footings almost gave him out and there are alleged conversations which could nail senior police officers including former Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) SP Veenu Bansal.

Legalise it!

This evening, the old lady came by looking for the cashews from her trees that have fallen in other people's properties. I was told that she used to make feni at home - for her son, but the poor chap became alcoholic and died young. Ditto with another chap I knew in Nude Elly - we called him Boozoo, and he's dead now.
This is the kind of country these tyrants are trying to create - all booze and no Holy Smoke.
As Ludwig von Mises wrote, in Bureaucracy:
Every dictator plans to rear, raise, feed, and train his fellow men as the breeder does his cattle. His aim is not to make the people happy but to bring them into a condition which renders him, the dictator, happy. He wants to domesticate them, to give them cattle status. The cattle breeder also is a benevolent despot.
