Like Nothing Else… Cacao
Not like caffeine and climbing off the walls,
Not like cocaine and pacing the halls,
Not like booze where you just don’t care,
Not like MJ where u sit and stare..
Not like a huff that makes your head ache,
Not like nicotine where you shake and shake,
Not like the vine where you puke and poo,
Not like opiates and not going number 2…
Not like benzos where you land in a ditch,
Not like heroine and starting to twitch,
Not like meth and when your teeth start to rot,
Not like X where you’re happy ~ then not..
Cacao is a wonderful gift from the gods.
A natural lift-off from tropical pods.
From ATP and more, it’s chemically complex,
A feel good vibe without side effects.
It’s a hug from a friend that’ll put you in the mood.
That’s why they call it… a super food.

Story
As I was producing the RAWket Chocolate Frolic Festival, a news story came out about people sniffing cacao powder. And I said – well, sure, chocolate IS a drug… but it’s like no other drug. It can actually be good for you!!!
So I went down the list of other recreational substances and thought about all the bad side effects of each.
coffee=adrenal damage
cocaine=paranoia
alcohol=depression
marijuana=lethargy
glue=hurts your head
cigarette=nerve and lung damage
ayahuasca= not even going there… what b.s.
oxycontin=constipation
Benzodiazeprine=chronic confusion
heroine=more nerve damagae
methamphetamine=rotting guts
ecstacy=short lived high and crash
Which by the way – there is NO SUCH THING as a side effect. THESE ARE EFFECTS!!!
