I could get into it if there was a girl who was into it too, to ride the highs n lows

I love this man so much <3

Buk is a genius but despite his image he loved attention he was getting which affected how he behaved. He did try sometimes.

One thing which is true about marijuana is that at the end you become a slug : no more energy, no more will, no more mind... just a slug who smokes grass.. Alcohol is terrible as well.. even worst.. but with alcohol you still can do things.. & Life, the meaning of Life is to do things.

Feels like there's this big push for weed nowadays and all this talk about how drinking is really bad for you.

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EVER MADE

Booze is my gate way drug! Sober three years now. Life is much better!

What a moron.

smoke weed everday!!!

He definitely got that wrong about Marijuana because these days you need to be in that "heeeeyyy" feeling

Alcohol is most destructive drug on the planet.

Spoken like a true alcoholic

I personally don't think alcohol is really that big an issue if a person can keep it in moderation, but yeah, seems Bukowski was totally in denial about his alcoholism, though he was a severely traumatized person, so it makes sense... Honestly it's amazing he was able to go on drinking for as long as he did. He must have been super fortunate genetically, at least regarding that aspect of himself, veteran drunk that he was.

he's right. i drink and smoke weed. drinkers have way more life in them

Alcohol will eventually, for some people remove them from the Face of this Earth.

I fucking love drinking

Only bukowski would argue that alcohol is more benificial than marijuana- And that drunks are better than weed smokers… You gotta love him!

Charlie would say that as he was an alcoholic and it probably killed him off slowly. So yeah he's talking bullshit. It's the most destructive drug in the world, and kills more than all other drugs combined.

shit alcohol killed my family. lost everyone from car accidents homicides suicides cirrhosis hypothermic death.. all the fighting all the drama & bullshit was due to alcoholism. i quit drinking 9 years ago cause i was headed down the same road as them & all it took for me was a trip to the hospital when i got alcohol poisoning at 21. after that i stayed sober. im 30 now. im pretty proud i could say that im sober. i hope everyone struggling with any addiction can overcome & liberate themselves from this disease. before its too late.

It’s the thing

It's because of this guy that I can't quit drinking.

he's right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That’s just your liver talking…

Psychology while drunk

You’re full of shit Hank

I think they key is moderation.

Man, Budweiser ads were pretty brutal back in the day 😮

I'm drunk right now.

Way to go...who the fuck is Bukowski seeing die from pot? The people he's talking about probably were on smack and he just didn't see it. For goodness sake, Bukowski liked mescaline.

There’s a lot of alcoholics hating on potheads in this comment section lol the irony is not lost on me.

I read Bukowski to get my mind straight from the world today and now. Bless all the Buk fans.

The irony is that booze is WAY more destructive than pot.

Much respect to Bukowski but every drug addict loves to find a way to defend his drug of choice. I've heard a cronic pot smoker give the exact same argument as this one. In the end of the day everything is fine in moderation. And if you feel you can't handle it with moderation then don't handle it at all.

There is obviously more inspiration in alcohol… 😜

this guy's a mess, glad I never bothered.

He's the patron saint for those who wake up hungover, look in the mirror and say "Arggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh........farrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkk"

Alcoholism ...the disease that kills us before we even know we have it

The pot heads come around and say , Hey.....Hey, I don't like that, I like drunkards!

Substances aren’t the problem, society is.

Getting drunk makes me feel like a rock star for a few hours but the entire next day spent recuperating from the hangover is sometimes not worth those few hours.

Says the alcoholic who drank himself to death 😂😂😂

I had a girlfriend who had a complete psychic break from heavy pot use. Started hearing the voice of God and became a devout holy roller after years of agnosticism. Her life is better now but I feel like it was forced on her, the change was

"3 Dollar a week room"... In 2024 my studio apartment is over $1,300. 1,300 divided by 30 is 43.3. Cost of living since this interview has gone up 14 times. The rich don't care, never will. They'll just have more people write articles about how poor people aren't buying diamonds and blame the poor.

"it's the thing"... I thought this guy was known for having a way with words?

He's no prophet... lol He is a poet!

My mum said; "Alcohol is your enemy." Jesus said; "Love your enemy!"

1:23 I don't agree with Bukowski on much, but I absolutely agree with him on Marijuana... It seems to sap all creative motivation...It's why I stopped it years ago -along with drinking. EDIT: I got nothing against it though, it does serve it's purpose

I like good ol fashioned alcoholics

What interview is this?

Liver disease heart disease lung disease. weed cunt
