[kj] OT: Richard Jobson

[peter.west410]

Not at all ,Im supping on a can as we speak,And im not impartial to the
occasional toot on the skunk(White Rhino & AK 47 are my preferred choice).
     I just don't think it should be glamorised.I think people should be
free too do whatever they please.But it should be there own choice and not
advertised,Problems arise when it starts too take over peoples lives.
    When they stop enjoying it and need it.
