MARIJUANA has now won middle-class respectability, as have blue jeans, long hair (look at David Stockman), feminism, health foods, group therapy, The Rolling Stones and sexual practices of various kinds.

Fringe Festival Reviews; Confessions of a Dope Dealer
Ace of Clubs, four more performances through Aug. 22 4 Great Jones Street, at Lafayette Street In a one-man show, Confessions of a Dope Dealer, Sheldon Norberg is surprisingly unapologetic about his life choices. He says a drug dealer is a pioneer to whom we entrust our consciousness, and notes, Dealer is leader misspelled. He also argues for the legalization of illicit drugs, maintaining they have value as both medicine and guides to spiritual clarity. (Indeed, with his shaved head, piercing eyes, all-black outfit and dynamic delivery, Mr. Norberg could be mistaken for a rogue preacher.) The blunder that he and his customers made, Mr. Norberg says, was in using drugs as toys rather than tools. Mr. Norberg, who seems to be in his mid-40s, didnt always have such attitudes; he grew up a straight arrow who lectured fellow students against addiction. His resolve began softening, however, when his parents tried to quit drinking coffee and became jittery. It slowly dawned on him that most people have addictions -- if only to caffeine, cigarettes or alcohol..

A Taste of Drug Reality, In Quick MTV Bites
Its a brisk trip along drug alley tonight, courtesy of MTV. But dont let the auspices put you off. The tone of Straight Dope is far more cautionary than celebratory; the hits on the hard stuff are tougher than the cracks about crackdowns. Kurt Loder, the mile-a-minute narrator, offers mini-histories of marijuana, LSD, heroin and crack cocaine; the editing is as jumpy as ever, with some psychedelic coloring, and some of the quick-fix celebrity comments (Jerry Garcia, Queen Latifah, David Byrne) make network news sound bites seem like feasts. But there is coherence amid the commotion, and when the program settles down for longer interviews with users, sellers and a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, pertinent points are made.
