JACK AND THE BEANSTALK

Just had this thought. Jack and the Beanstalk is a fairytale ridden with drug undertones. It is a metaphor for cannabis consumption. A subtext to a wider message. Probably some hippy's idea of a practical joke.

By way of revision, the story we've been told is that Jack was told by his mother to sell the cow at the market for money. Instead, along his way to the market, he sold the cow to a man in exchange for magic beans. Jack came back home, his mother went hypertension on him, and threw the beans out to the garden. The beans grew into a giant tree which went all the way up to the skies. Jack climed up the tree and found a world where there lived a giant with a chicken (or was it a goose?) that lay golden eggs.

Now here's the real story. Jack was told by his mother to sell the cow at the market for money. Along the way, he met a dealer (most probably a Rastaman, as witness testimonies reveal) who, for unknown reasons, sells drugs for beef (hey, a lot of wierd shit was happening back then during the medieval ages). He gives Jack a couple of cannabis seeds in exchange for the cow. Jack goes home and shows the seeds to his mother. His mother, an ex-hippy herself, recognizes the seeds and goes loco on Jacky. She was heard shouting, "I'm not going to have no drugger in my house!". She threw the seeds out to the garden and it blooms into a cannabis plant. Jack picks out the bud, smoked Mary, and flies to the skies. He enters this world of giants and chickens that lay golden eggs. Of course, it's all in his head.


Now don't even get me started on that fairytale called "The ICE Queen".
