I think it's too bad that everybody's decided to turn on drugs, I don't think drugs are the problem. Crime is the problem. Cops are the problem. Money's the problem. But drugs are just drugs.

More quotes by Jerry Garcia
Sometimes you have to be clever.
Jerry Garcia
We're like licorice. Not everybody likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like licorice.
Jerry Garcia
It's a joke. Greed and the desire to take drugs are two separate things. If you want to separate the two, the thing you do is make drugs legal. Accept the reality that people do want to change their consciousness, and make an effort to make safer, healthier drugs.
Jerry Garcia
In reality everybody has got musical thoughts. If you are able to overcome the part of it which is muscle training, which is what most musical playing actually is, performance actually is, is muscle training, and you are able to convert your ideas directly into music, you're a musician, too.
Jerry Garcia
With the recognition comes additional responsibility, because then we're no longer a one-shot. We're now part of the environment.
Jerry Garcia
If the thunder don't get ya then the lightning will.
Jerry Garcia
We would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life, a simple life, a good life.
Jerry Garcia
So we are pretty convinced we don't want to play huge stadiums unless we can play them well.
Jerry Garcia
The nature of what we're doing is something, which is by its very nature, is non-formulaic. There's no way that you can make it happen by intention alone. It's something that you have to sort of allow it to happen, and you have to allow for it to happen.
Jerry Garcia
I mean, just because you're a musician doesn't mean all your ideas are about music. So every once in a while I get an idea about plumbing, I get an idea about city government, and they come the way they come.
Jerry Garcia
If something doesn't work, it becomes obvious immediately. This just isn't going to work.
Jerry Garcia
The point is there is more information now then you can pass along comfortably in an oral tradition, say a strictly speaking culture. That is a problem.
Jerry Garcia
And Warner Bros. seems to be pretty much into re-releasing all of their catalog. So there's the Warner Bros. stuff and the stuff that we have control over, we're gradually re-releasing it. Some stuff we don't have control over.
Jerry Garcia
Every silver lining has a touch of grey.
Jerry Garcia
The real problems are cultural. The problems of the people who take drugs as a cultural trap - I think there's a real problem there, the crack stuff, the hopelessness of the junkie. The urban angst.
Jerry Garcia
You can't repeat things because each time is different. The universe has changed. Everything has changed.
Jerry Garcia
What we do is as American as lynch mobs. America has always been a complex place.
Jerry Garcia
I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in poverty. Actually, I'm more intrigued by the 23 per cent who are apparently doing quite well for themselves.
Jerry Garcia
There is some art that says the same thing to everybody. WE need something like that. What that is, I don't know. But virtual reality may be the key to it.
Jerry Garcia
I mean, whatever kills you kills you, and your death is authentic no matter how you die.
Jerry Garcia
