If you weren't, how could you possibly consider yourself qualified to talk about them like this? As it happens, the dope (ie, the drugs or the marijuana) isn't mostly consumed by blank-staring uncommunicative drones in dark rat-holes, meaning that this entire poem is a humungous nothing. What's more, if I were to ask you here whether poetry should veil or disguise its subject/meaning with ambiguous images and wordplay, you would undoubtedly say yes, which is a triple-word-scoring 'dunce' with an extra, ungrammatical 'Qu'.
