That is the entire message! One can be very ON and CREATIVE and completely functional on GREAT POT. As well as more immune to this majorly stressful civilization. Gosh, remember, Woodie? Having dinner with Trump? Grins, he had to go smoke a J just to get through the evening...if one hasn't tried it one has no opinion whatsoever...HA HA HA! But seriously... A person so energized by creating does NOT need to be 'on pot'....creating is an incredible high that lasts a long time!

The Decopods are my new favorite vehicle. I especially like when Randy said that he doesn't use a computer to design these. I'm an Architectural designer and loath drawing in CAD. When I got into Architecture 50 years ago you had to be an artist to be an Architect which is good. Artists see things differently than Technicians. Sure CAD is a valuable tool if you're drawing skyscrapers but homes need the personal input of a hand drawer. Keep it up Randy!!
