You left this earth the way you entered, with a bang. Although a bullet through your skull seemed a bit drastic at first, I’ve come to realise that it was in your nature. You were and still remain an icon among the drug counter-culture. I’ll smoke two bowls for you, dear Hunter.
Blessed be, my man.
Give Nixon hell, Hunter.
