Michael Pollan
The war on drugs is in truth a war on some drugs, their enemy status the result of historical accident, cultural prejudice, and institutional imperative. The taxonomy on behalf of which this war is being fought would be difficult to explain to an extraterrestrial, or even a farmer like Matyas.
Michael Pollan, This Is Your Mind On Plants: Opium―Caffeine―Mescaline

Even beneath the lively bloomed flowers of spring, always lie the dead fallen leaves of autumn.
Lakshya Chouhan
