Pot and seeds!!!

 Here's some links to pot/seed providers on the net, please note, that I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE for their claims. I am very doubtful of these people, and I have not actually tried to order anything from them. If you choose to do so, and it works, let me know. I am interested in finding out more about these companies.

Christians and Marijuana

 I have this link listed on my reference page, but it also pertains to drugs, so I list it here also... It's just a little something I wrote on Christians and marijuana... A little different perspective than most Christians...

School tries to ban hemp jewelry!!!

Check this shit out!!!

October 3, 1996, Eastlake, OH:  Students at North High School in Eastlake Ohio who wear jewelry made out of hemp fiber will be sent to the principle's office and have their parents notified, according to a new policy enacted by school officials this past Tuesday. Critics of the policy argue that the new rule inhibits freedom of expression and amounts to nothing more than harassment. "It's extremism on the [anti-drug] issue," said Northcoast NORML chapter president John Hartman, who announced that he would provide hemp clothing and twine to interested students.  "Is the intention to pick out students and harass them or attempt to enforce their drug-free school policy?  Either way, [it's] persecuting them for wearing [legal] hemp jewelry." According to principle George Spinner, a proponent of the policy, hemp jewelry symbolizes "sympathy" toward marijuana, a view that he believes to be unacceptable in a school environment.  "The truth is, they are wearing it because of the relationship of hemp and marijuana." Spinner noted that the jewelry will not be confiscated, but admits that officials are asking students not to wear it. "By their own admission, school officials are trying to suppress a political statement about our government's policies toward marijuana and industrial hemp," said NORML Deputy Director Allen St. Pierre.  "This harassment clearly infringes upon a student's constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression." Several students have approached Northcoast NORML to complain about the new policy and some have begun to hand out fliers challenging the rule.  Over 1,500 students attend the school. For more information, please contact John Hartman of Northcoast NORML @ (216) 521-9333.  E-mail may be addressed to: NCNorml@aol.com

Principles of Responsible Marijuana Use

This list shows things that people should take into consideration when they smoke marijuana. This is an list of effective measures of responsibility. Notice that they seem to mirror the general principles proper alcohol use also. This is located at the NORML web page... There's much more located at NORML, such as the little tid-bit I have above, about the hemp jewelry...

The CIA/Crack Connection

Shame on me... I never listed this before. I actually had this link bookmarked long before the national media actually covered it, and now that it's big news, I wish I would have posted it earlier. In case you haven't heard about it, it goes something like this. The CIA helped Rebels in Nicaragua(I believe that's the country), and they took some of the money given to them to make drugs, and sell them to people who purified the cocaine into crack, who then sold it to gang members in LA, and from there, the crack epidemic spread. All because of the US government involvement in other countries affairs... Of course, they're denying it, but come ON!!! When will the American people wake up? It's only because of the internet did this story even get coverage. When this site started getting thousands of hits a day, people started listening. Maybe that's why they want to censor the net, eh? Keep their little power games in control... Away from the people... The more I read, the more I find myself thinking of myself as a revolutionary... Or, at the very least, sympathetic to those with Revolutionary causes... Read the December issue of High Times, and find out how the PRI is using drugs and especially alcohol to keep the people of Mexico down... The Zapatistas outlaw drugs in their camps because they see how those in power use it to keep them away from freedom. This is the same reason we in America need to legalize drugs... Just in reverse... I suggest you watch Boyz in the Hood, and listen Furious(Tre's father) He has a lot of important things to say concerning drugs and alcohol and the government(or, in their view, white man) keeping the black people down... The war on drugs has repressed people in the cities for too long... It deludes the kids into thinking power lies in Crack, and money, and then they end up killing themselves... Keeping it illegal will never solve anything... It will just kill more Americans, and especially oppress those who are oppressed as it is. I am not oppressed, but I hate seeing government oppress people... Especially in the guise of "equal rights", the drug war, censorship, etc... Like the devil, the government creeps around in sheeps clothing, (to use an analogy, especially of Christ), and tries to be pure and holy, when all it is is deceptive evil... Ahh... Sorry for all that. I'll try to keep my rants in the rant area... Anyways, stop by and see what all the fuss is about. It's a big article(I think it's like 3 articles. Haven't seen it in a while, so I don't remember)

Happy, happy... Joy, joy... It's happy capitalist!!!

These people have a game designed around pot. I've read about it on their site, and now, you can see the ad in High Times!!! I think you play the role of a drug dealer or something like that. Anyways, they've got some cool links, too...

To compare or not to compare...

I haven't looked at this site since I first found it, so I can't remember what's all on it... But I bookmarked it for my site, so it must be decent... What it does is compare legal and illegal drugs(I think mostly tobacco and pot, but it might be others too...) Anyways, go see if it's got some good stuff for you to use in a debate... I think it does... I'll have to check it again, soon. OK, I checked it, and I was wrong... It's got info about the discriminatory aspects of the law(like young males, and blacks being sentenced for drug crimes... and other such stuff... Great site, though, and part of the W.H.E.N. site... A site about Hemp...)

New England Journal of Medicine endorses medical marijuana

 As I'm sure you all have heard by now... The New England Journal of Medicine(a scientific magazine dedicated to the medical profession since 1812) came out recently in favor of decriminalizing marijuana for medical purposes. The editorial stated that the Clinton administration is wrong, and that many, many doctors support cannabis for medical purposes, but are too afraid of the government to stand up for their beliefs. They, however, do not say that ballot initiatives are the way to bring this about, but a re-scheduling of marijuana from a schedule I drug(high potential for abuse, no medical properties) to schedule II(high potential for abuse, but having some medical properties) Which would make it in the same category as cocaine, and morphine(which are worse than pot, I believe, but according to current law, they are readily available as a medicine if needed(prescribed, of course)) My only question about this whole thing is... Why did they wait so damn long to endorse pot? Is this just the "in" thing now? If the editor truly felt this for so long, why didn't he use his influence to help relieve the sick and dying? So, with that in mind, even though I commend them for trying, I also condemn them for not trying earlier. Whether it be for fear of political persecution or whatever... Shame on them.
