Mike High Does The Kibbutz: Page 4

 

 

The Drugs


The pot here is horrible. The dirtiest of the dirtiest weed I ever saw in San Diego, and I mean like back in high school dirt weed, is hydroponic chronic compared to this stuff. It comes delivered in saran wrap and looks and is the size of a big brown donkey dick. It gets you high for a half hour, and then you just feel cloudy. The hash you get here is crap too. Luckily, I've made friends with some people who just came back from Amsterdam who brought back the best hash I have ever seen. Clear headed, body high that makes everything funny and cool. Several people have said that Israel is the E capital of the
world, but I think it's just more levels of disinformation.

 

The Alcohol


For some reason unbeknown to me, this kibbutz sells a 95% alcohol drink called Arak for five dollars a liter. Bad stuff at a great price. Several nights have begun with shots of those and ended with trance parties in a bomb shelter. The pub also sells pints at $1.25. Needless to say, I am limiting the days and amount of alcohol I intake so that I can actually live through the five months.

 

Racism


My first day working in the garden my boss, a very nice lady, asks me, "Do you have a lot of niggers in America?" After my initial shock I realized that in Israel they actually don't think it's a cuss word and the rather small Ethiopian population here doesn't take any offense to it. At the Ulpan there are three cats who hang out: Pueta, Nigger, and Big Nigger. But if you call someone a son of a whore, then you must fight. Very odd.
