    ... not, we hope, a smutty reference to the notorious Canaan Banana-rama

      I'm old enough to have tried smoking bananahuana as a legal substitute for hash. It had no perceivable after-effect, other than the person now writing this.

        Perhaps the Tesco checkout girl's response to the shopper's remark 'Could you please put the fruit and veg in a separate bag from all the tins and other heavy things?'

          The one with the silly grin? The closest I got to any drugs was a Christmas party with a 'younger set' who were passing a, I believe it is called a 'joint'. (I declined with "No, thank you. I don't smoke.')

          One of the men became extremely giggly and silly. 'If you could see yourself,' I thought)

          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

            You nevertheless probably got somewhat stoned just from inhaling the air in the room. This happened to a girlfriend-to-be of mine... who wasn't to be a girlfriend-to-be afterwards, although that's possibly too much information.
