It was Halloween and we were partying in Pacific Beach. We were all seated, cross-legged, in a circle passing the joint. I would just pass it to the next person without inhaling. Incense burned amid flickering scented candles. "Akhmad, the Revolving", a local psychedelic DJ, was on the radio playing the Airplane, Janis, the Beatles and more. Richard was holding court, spinning philosophy, community and flower power. We were the "Warlock Shop" family- all of us joined together- all of us trusting and believing. There is something sacramental about sharing like that. Then Richard had joints going around in two directions. Suddenly there I was with a joint in either hand!..... I inhaled.
