March 31 I enjoyed this post by sniperbabe. Very funny -
March 29 I have been accused me of being biased towards marijuana. It has been said "How come you find all the information saying marijuana is O.K. and not bad."
Fair enough.
Yeah, I do have a bias towards marijuana. This is because it isnt nearly as bad as other drugs (including cigarettes and booze) . Marijuana cannot kill you. Try it- smoke blunt after blunt, and eat hash brownies for days on end. Look your still alive. I will say it again " it is physically impossible to die from weed."
But to present a balanced view on the effects of Marijuana Read This
get the facts and make your own choice
Have you read the book the game? This might interest you then (click me)
WHAT IS GAME? By DJ Ever heard someone say "I don't need game; it's all phony?" I hear a lot of people extolling arguments that we need game and others vehemently insisting that we don't need game. That conflict stems from a failure to see game as simply a means: it is a tool. Nothing more, nothing less. As human beings, we are all trying to get the most out of our time on this planet. And we often find ourselves seeking...searching for a meaningful experience...for a sense of importance and a sense of contribution and a purpose in the greater scheme of things. Most of us want to know that we can make a difference. And we thrive when we feel we have a sense of control over our life's path. No matter how you slice it, most of what we seek in life boils down to one
word: CONNECTION.
The vast majority of human behavior can be seen as motivated by a
desire for connection. This connection can be with:
1) Past
2) Future
3) Self
4) Others
5) All of the above
Interestingly enough, the highest and most powerful form of
connection is to the present. And you'll notice that the present
doesn't appear to be listed above. However, the present is that
which connects one to past, future, self, and others
simultaneously. Thus, it is all of the above.
Style recently told me about meeting Tony Robbins and his wife,
and how his wife kept mentioning the world "is-ness," as if it were
some powerful magic word. Well, it is. It is the present, and being
connected to it is like being connected to a matrix-like non-linear
sense of time that the masters (as well as the Wachowski Brothers)
describe.
Although connection is a core value that we all seek, few are aware
that this is what they are seeking. They think they want to be
famous or to be rich or to fall in love or to get laid. And this
leads to a focus on the TOOL instead of the end VALUE.
And if you focus on the tool too intensely, you can lose sight of
what you're building. You forget that the tool can be dropped or
turned off. In terms of attraction, the equivalent is focusing
entirely on the game as an end itself rather than its use as a
tool to enable connection.
There are different levels of connection between people. These
include:
1) Physical
2) Intellectual
3) Emotional
4) Spiritual
Once we can achieve and understand these levels, then both the
INTERNAL and EXTERNAL purposes of game come clear.
Internally, it connects us to a path through which we learn how it
feels to experience a certain way of being. And as we grow, those
feelings and results become more comfortable for us until we reach
a level where they're just natural and part of who we are, so that
we no longer need to focus on the tool to experience them.
Externally, this creates the potential for connection with another
person under conditions in which that connection would not
ordinarily happen naturally. We can now exude VALUE that wouldn't
have otherwise been obvious to people in a particular environment
or circumstance.
*Game as such is simply a tool to move through the obstacles that
prevent people from being available to connect....and value is the
key that allows that to be possible. *
So, the next time you find yourself struggling with a game versus
no-game debate, just remember that game doesn't matter. It is a
means to get you to an ends. It is a tool in your arsenal of
success-producing skills. And your goal one day is to be game-free.
But, until that day comes, don't be afraid to use the tools to
connect. And to use them proudly. Because the alternative can be a
very lonely one.
--DJ
So get some game
I see to many guys with no game. I am going to do all the women out their a favour here; Listen up guys this is for you: Quit being
a loser, learn what women really want. If you suck at dating, or in relationships, or even just in life then you really need game. Their ought to be a pimp school for you poor saps. If this sound like it might be you then goto http://www.stylelife.com. You can thank me later March 26 Research published by Professor David Nutt of Britain's Bristol University, put alcohol and tobacco on the top ten list of the most dangerous substances. Nutt and colleagues have proposed a new framework for the classification of harmfull substances based on the actual risk to society. Three factors are used to determine the harm associated with a drug. #1 The physical harm to the user. #2 The drugs addictive potential. #3 The impact the drug use has on society. Two groups of experts were asked to assign scores to different drugs. These experts were legal or police officials with scientific of medical expertise and psychiatrists who specilize in addiction.
Heroin and Cocaine were ranked the two most dangerous drugs. Alcohol ranked #5. Tobacco ranked #9. Marijuana ranked #11. Ectasy rank among one of the lowest on the list.
Tobacco was also noted for causing 40% of all hospital illnesses.
Alcohol is believed to cause over 1/2 of all hospital emergency visits.

the bodega
since moving to vancouver i've resorted to buying my "medicine" at what's known as a bodega. there are shitloads of these places all over vancouver. it's great for all the tourists seeking a little fun while on holiday. just after Marc Emery got arrested a new bodega opened it's doors. one with all kinds of varieties, and cookies too! i learned yesterday this joint was held up over the weekend.
how could you? the nicest place in the world to buy weed, you had to fuck with it. not only that but you robbed $$ from a man's defense fund. and this man did a lot for you and your country. he's upheld our right to be uncensored when it seemed no one even cared. he's standing up right now for our right to smoke pot and not be considered a criminal. how could you be so selfish, i swear if i find you, your nuts are mine, bitch!
Found this to be pretty fricken funny.

Should Marijuana be legal?
Place your vote @
March 17 Just say No to crappy Marijuana!
Life is too short to smoke sh*tty weed. So Learn how to tell the difference between good buds and bunk.
Knowing the difference between good weed and bunky weed comes with experience. The more you smoke the better you will be at picking the good stuff.
First smell the weed. If it smells good then your on the right track. Premature weed that hasnt been dried properly often smells "green". Avoid mouldy smelling weed.
How does the weed look? Is it nice solid looking mature dry buds? Or do the buds look leafy, airy or wet? Look for crystals on the bud, This is the THC. You want marijuana that is dripping in THC.
Smoke the weed. The weed should smoke evenly and burn with clean white ash. It should taste nice - either fruity or skunky.
A couple of tokes should do it. Do you feel that buzz? Weed with low THC wont get you a high worth a darn.
You dont want to smoke weed that hasnt been flushed properly. You flush weed during the last 3-4 weeks of flowering. Use straight water or 1/3 of the amount of fertilizer you would normally use. Flushing your weed gets rid of the nitrogen in the buds. Buds with high nitrogen content will have crystals that appear to be grey under magnification. These nitrogen ladden buds dont taste very good, dont burn well, and will leave you with black ash after you smoke your joint. Your weed should burn nicely and only leave white ash behind.
Some growers can take beautifull weed and ruin it by not curing it properly. You want weed that has been slowly dried. If the marijuana has been dried too fast it will have a harsh taste and burn your throat. The proper way to cure weed is to hang it upside down and let it dry slowly. When the weed feels crispy on the outside, put the buds inside a bag, keep this bag warm. The marijuana will "sweat". By sweating I mean the dampness in the stems will soak out to the dry part of the buds. Once your buds are moist let them dry until it is crispy on the outside again. you might have to repeat this process only a couple of times but on average about 3 times, maby even four.
Moldy weed tastes and smells terrible, It is also very unhealthy. If the weed your planning on buying smells like mildew or mold just say No! It isnt worth the health risk or your money. To learn how to grow mold free weed
Does the weed have a chemical like smell? It might have been treated with a pesticide. You dont want that stuff in your lungs. A common pesticide that you want to avoid is Avid. Avid can leave your weed with a liqurish like smell. Avid causes cancer, so reputable growers never use it. Read what happened to this
Weed that has been laced. This happens occasionally. Dealers with crap weed will lace it with something like PCP to make you think your getting high. If your weed tastes, or burns funny, and you get sick or experience a weird high then this might of happened. Learn about the effects of
The best way to know if your weed is any good is to grow your own, or buy from a grower you know and trust. Join a medical marijuana club. They have strict buying procedures so you can be sure that the weed you buy is good and safe.
March 12 I dont even smoke weed anymore, but i have friends that sometimes call me to get a bag for them. I dont get anything out of the deal
I am just doing it to help them out. The other day I go to this guy I pick up from rarely ( cuz i am just not in the weed scene). I have
know him for a couple years or so, and I always thought he was a decent guy. He hands me the bag o grass and my first impression is that it was really small. I open the bag smell it, and it has a mouldy odour. I feel the bud and its wet. I made a few comments that I guess he thought were rude, but he didnt say anything. Honestly i didnt even know if it was my bag, I though maby it was for someone else and i was suppose to pass it to them. I said that. Then I said "oh, is this 1/2 of the bag, is their another one coming?". I guess I am just not to bright sometimes or maby I was joking. Anyways he says "are you done now?" Meaning complaining or insulting his marijuana. I say " sorry, but i cant take this stuff" agitated he says "here take your money and dont ever come back" so I respond "ok, no problem" I dont really care because I dont smoke and I am only trying to help out a friend. I feel bad that I upset him so as I am going out the door I apologize saying
basically no big deal, like i dont think it was underweight or anything, just that I was looking for the real good big fluffy, stinky buds, and that sort of thing. Then I open the door and walk out, just as I am closing the door he says "yah, you better leave before you get a beating"
Well shit! Like a light turning on in my brain, suddenly I snap. Its like a adrenaline rush. Good thing this happened just as I left and closed the door. I am instantly enraged, It took several hours, alot of talking, freaking out, and walking for me to calm down. Never really had the
chance to discuss this kind of reaction with anyone before. This time I talked it out with my girlfriend. Any threats of violence against me or my friends sets me right off. Sometimes all it takes is a insult. I cant control it (but I am going to try to) I just feel the adrenaline and loose it. Normally this starts a fight. I got ballistic. I will throw things, fight entire crowds, throw people through windows. I just go nuts like a wild animal. Sometimes If I was declared war on or just threatened I would make it a point to get them before they got me. I would hunt them down and kick their ass.
I have turned a new leaf in the past months. I have removed myself from the drug game. I dont deal drugs. Now I wont even be
picking up bags o weed for friends. I really just want to work a good job that I enjoy, and live a normal life. A long Time ago I got sick of the bullshit that comes with dealing and the people and the crap they pull. It took me a while to seperate myself from that life, but now I am well on the way. In my past I did my own collecting and enforcing and had to kick ass so I wouldnt be walked all over. I started to hate having to be violent, so I stopped and people lost respect for me. Now It is the past but the feeling returned over this incident.
I just found it strange that someone would be so upset that I didnt want to but their shitty buds. Whatever. Lessons to be learned.
Tests to help me know myself and learn how to deal with situations that could lead to potential violence.

i want to be serious for a moment
I want to be serious for a moment to bring up something that I feel strongly about; Marijuana use. I personally feel very strongly that marijuana should be legalized for recreational purposes as well as medicinal. For those of you who live in other countries, I live in Canada where it is already legalized medicinally. My country has recognized the need for and the purpose of medicinal marijuana so I am not going to say much more about it except that it has been proven to have positive medicinal purposes.
Recreational use is another story. I believe that as a responsible adult I should have the right to legally smoke marijuana the same as I have the legal right to consume alcohol or tobacco, both much more addictive and dangerous than marijuana use. I will not say that marijuana has no negative side however. Yes, it increases your chance to get lung cancer, inhaling any amount of smoke from anything will do that. However the chemicals in marijuana have the ability to help fight other types of cancer, and you can enjoy marijuana by cooking it in food, making tea, or using a vaporizor. Most people myself included prefer to smoke it as that is how it works best. Which brings me to my next point, why do people use marijuana. Many people use it to relieve stress, to relieve headaches, or muscle aches and pains, to increase creativity, increase appetite or reduce sleeping disorders. As a whole the peope i know who use marijuana are happier, more relaxed people than those who do not. Now you may say, why not use legal substances like tylenol, ibuprofen, gravol,etc. Well, simply put from my own experiences, they just dont work as well. I often suffer from tension headaches, migraines, and as a result of a hiatal hernia i also get nausea and heartburn quite often. I am on prescription medication, but it does not come close to relieving my symptoms the way that marijuana does. Not to mention that marijuana has FEWER negative side effects than most medications and over the counter pain relievers, antacids, etc.
Marijuana, unlike the majority of drugs you can get at a pharmacy prescription or non prescription, has no physically addictive chemicals in it. It can be addictive, but the addiction is psychological, which also is why it is safer than other recreational drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. Most people who use recreational drugs become addicted as a result of other aspects of their lives such as depression, stress, psychological, etc. By legalizing marijuana, it will reduce the governments costs to prevent it. They will need fewer holding cells, fewer police OR police off can focus on more illicit drugs and other crimes, a lot less legal fees/red tape, it will end a lot of protests from cannabis advocates, and so on. This money could be spent instead on helping those with drug addiction, or addictions, or other problems in their lives like depression and abuse.
I have brought this up because some of the people i know seem to criticize my use of marijuana, and instead of arguing with everyone i would rather be up front and honest and display my thoughts and beliefs for everone to see.

THE PILLS THAT I'M POPING GO POPPETY POP...
IN MY HEAD OF INSANITY I SEE FURRY RED DOTS
IT BOTHERS ME NOT FOR I'M AS HIGH AS A KITE
LEGALLY SO, BECAUSE IT'S WHAT THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBES.
PROZAC IS CANDY WHEN MIXED WITH A PIE
CODINE IS FUN WHEN PLACED IN YOUR EYE
NYQUIL IS BETTER WHEN YOU ALL WANT TO DRIVE
BUT USING HEAVY EQUIPMENT IS WAY OUT OF LINE
I SOMETIMES GET DROWSY MIXING ADVIL AND SPLEEN
MORPHINE IS FINE EXCEPT FOR THE DREAMS
I ONCE SAW A LAMB DANCING ON GLASS
AND THE ELVIS SIGHTINGS ARE A PAIN IN THE ASS
HE STOLE MY FRIED CHICKEN WITHOUT ANY A CARE...
BUT THE JOKE WAS ON ME....'CAUSE IT NEVER WAS THERE.
SO AS I DOZE OFF IN MY PRESCRIPTION BOUGHT DREAM.
I WANT MY FREE HEALTH CARE SO I CAN GET HIGH AS I PLEASE.
WHERE AM I?
WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? This brief rant is related to my min. wage beef. that can be viewed @
I just wanted to add that if your on disability in Canada you receive $850 per mo. roughly. some people more. some people less. You are also allowed to earn up to 500$ per mo. Ok I think some people get less from disability maby 650$ per month, so i will use the low number. 650 plus 500 is how much i make working full tme. If i am sick, I dont get paid. I think people on disability need that money but my point is -
What is the motivation in working full time when you make the same as someone who doest have too? Shouldnt a working stiff make a little more?
When i get sick and miss work people on disability are making more than me. I know this because I have a few friends on it ( one gets $950 per mo.) and my mom is on it. Its sad, because my mom has more money than i do. This is partly because i have medication costs, and medical. If your on disability or welfare all your medical costs and prescriptions are covered.
My final bitch - Prescriptions: I have prescriptions that far exceed what i earn. I obviously dont fill them. They would probably total about $20,000 per year. I only spend about $1,000- It keeps me breathing at least.
I would really like to hear your comments. March 07 In Canada Prescription narcotics like morphine and oxycontin are more likely to be use than heroin.
street level drug users in Edmonton, Toronto, Quebec city, Fredericton, and ST. John are getting
high using prescription drugs like Percodan instead of heroin. Only in Vancouver and Montreal is Heroin the number one illegal opiate. This study only focused on narcotics among street users, if
the rest of the population were included this number would be much higher.
The Street drug users inject these legal opiates exactly the same way they would with heroin, and
end up getting the same effect. A speed ball is normally made by injecting heroin and cocaine. A synthetic speed ball is used by crushing up oxycontin, or other opiate with ritalin and injecting it.
Ritalin is a common speed like drug that is often prescribed to children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder.
In other places like Africa, South Asia, and parts of Europe Prescribed drugs are already used
more than illegal drugs like heroin, cocaine, and ecstasy, according to the international narcotics control board.
If you take prescription drugs in a developing country their is a fifty percent chance that it will be a counterfit medication estimates the World Health Organization.
The INCB also reports that legal prescription medications such as painkillers, stimulants, and tranquilizers are more abused than "practically all illicit drugs with the exception of cannabis" within the United States. Prescription drug abuse among Americans almost doubled from 7.8 million to 15.1 million from 1992 to 2003.
March 05 Want to see how they make cocaine?
Cocaine use is ruining many lives, the social side effects of paying for an expensive addictive habit ruins society but it’s also disgusting all the crap they use to make cocaine. As it’s an illegal drug you have to take what you get: petrol, cement, calcium oxide, ammonia, H2SO4 and of course coca leaves. This video takes you through the process of from picking the leaves, chopping them, spraying them wth the above chemicals and filtering. Ugh. Everyone should see this video. It might stop someone experimenting with it in the first place.

Help Marc Emery from NORML
Hello All,
Well...apparently our government indeed is trying to stop not only supposed 'criminal' activity, but also the legal/legislative efforts to change cannabis laws.
Here is the smoking gun statement from DEA proving it IS political:
"Today's arrest of Mark (sic) Scott Emery, publisher of Cannabis Culture magazine and the founder of a marijuana legalization group, is a significant blow not only to the marijuana trafficking trade in the U.S. and Canada, but also to the marijuana legalization movement."
"Hundreds of thousands of dollars of Emery's illicit profits are known to have been channeled to marijuana legalization groups active in the United States and Canada. Drug legalization lobbyists now have one less pot of money to rely on."
--Karen P. Tandy, Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration
(DEA)
Well...there it is...Marc is as much of a political threat in the eyes of the US govt as he is a 'criminal'.
Regards,
Allen St. Pierre
Executive Director
NORML
Pot advocate Marc Emery was arrested Friday, July 29 in Halifax after his marijuana-seed shipping business on Hastings Street was shut down by police as part of a sweeping investigation instigated by U.S. authorities.
Five Things You Can Do To Help Marc Emery
courtesy of Cannabis Culture
- Call Irwin Cotler regularly
Canada's Justice Minister is Irwin Cotler. It is largely his decision whether Canada will extradite Marc Emery. Cotler's biography describes him as a "peace activist" who has devoted his life to supporting international human rights, free speech, freedom of religion, women's rights, minority rights, war crimes justice and prisoners' rights, but he has not proven himself to be a friend to the cannabis culture.
Please call each of these three phone numbers twice every week, and politely repeat your message every time. The goal is to keep these lines constantly tied up with calls and voice mails about Marc Emery, so that the Justice Department phones are ringing steadily about the Emery case every day for the next few months.
When you call, always be very polite. Your goal is not to get into a debate with Cotler's secretary. Just say that you are calling because it would "shock your conscience" for Marc Emery to be extradited to the US for alleged marijuana seeds crimes committed on Canadian soil. Say that you believe that if Marc has broken the law in Canada, he should be tried in Canada, under Canadian laws.
If they say you are calling the wrong number ask what number you should call. But still call them again the next week regardless.
No matter where you are in the world, please call all three of these phone numbers every week. We definitely need active, vocal support from Americans and also from the international community.
* Irwin Cotler's Constituency Office: 514-283-0171
* Irwin Cotler's Parliamentary Office: 613-995-0121
* Justice Department Office: 613-992-4621
If you have access to a fax machine then please also send a daily or weekly fax supporting Marc Emery to each of these Justice Department fax numbers:
Fax: 613-992-6762
Fax: 514-283-2407
Fax: 613-990-7255
Don't bother sending emails to Cotler. Emails are easily ignored, deleted, or filtered out as spam. Weekly phone calls and faxes are much more effective in creating awareness and political pressure

Donate and buy
This raid means the end of Marc Emery Marijuana Seeds, which was the pioneering business which Marc Emery used to fund activist efforts around the world. Marc, Michelle and Greg will all have huge legal bills, while at the same time losing their assets, income and livelihood.
Money-losing projects like Pot-TV will need to be curtailed, political activities will be shut down, Cannabis Culture Magazine will struggle greatly, and all our staff will suffer layoffs and paycuts.
Please make a donation or purchase with the BC Marijuana Party, and buy a subscription to Cannabis Culture magazine. Our store is still fully stocked with books, pipes, bongs, clothes and other cannabis products. The only thing we don't sell now is seeds! We need your business to survive, so please come down and pick up some new paraphernalia.
-
Write to Canadian media
Please contact all of the following newspapers and magazines, with a new letter every week. Don't write a big long letter. Just write a short, snappy letter which offers your opinion on American efforts to extradite Marc Emery. Don't just send one mass email to all of these media at once. Instead send them each individually the same emailed letter. Write one letter every week, different letters but on the same topic, and send them to every one of these media outlets every week.

Contact your MP and MLA
If you are in Canada, then contact both your MP and your MLA. Don't send them an email, make a phone call. Try to make an appointment for a personal visit. Also have every one of your friends and family members each make their own phone call as well. The more calls they receive the better.
You are not seeking your MP and MLA to support the legalization of marijuana. Just say that you are calling because you want your elected representative to oppose the extradition of any Canadian to a foreign country when their actions are not considered a serious crime in Canada.
Remind them that Emery is the leader of a legitimate political party, that the Canadian government has knowingly collected taxes from his US seed sales for a decade, and that Emery has operated openly without interference from Canadian police since 1998.
Tell your MP and MLA that Canada should not be sending political activists to jail in foreign countries, especially when their actions are not even considered to be an "arrestable offence" in Canada.
Your MP is your federal Member of Parliament. You can find your MP here.
Your MLA is your Provincial Member of the Legislature. You can find your MLA online here:

- Rally in your community
If you are in Canada, then try to put on a rally in your community to protest this incursion of the US Drug War into Canada. The focus of your rally should not be on the marijuana laws, but rather that Canadians within Canada are not subject to US law. The Canadian courts and people have decided that selling marijuana seeds is a trivial, non-arrestable offence.
The Canadian government has steadily collected sizable taxes from Marc Emery's US seed sales for 10 years. If Emery has broken the law in Canada then he should be charged and tried here. If he has broken no laws in Canada then he should not be extradited to the US for a life sentence. Who will be next? Will US police start extraditing Canadians who perform gay marriages for visiting Americans?
Try to put together a rally for Saturday, September 10, to coincide with the rally planned for Vancouver. If there is a US consulate office in your city then that is a good place to rally at. Otherwise find a park or other government building.
Please contact us at the BC Marijuana Party to let us know what you are up to. Tell us if you have contacted your elected representatives, if are planning a rally, and what else you are doing to help preserve Canadian sovereignty and keep the US drug war out of Canada.
Thank you for your help. Marc Emery has devoted his life to ending the drug war and ensuring that marijuana seeds are available to anyone who wants to grow this wondrous herb. Please follow his lead, become active, and help to end this vicious war.

Happy 420!
It's Time to Call a Truce in America's Longest War
I am Ron Ridenour, a 55-year-old Flathead County and Canyon resident of Montana. I stood before a federal judge on June 25th, 2004, the most critical reckoning day I had encountered in my lifetime. In order to reduce a 5 to 20 year prison term and a two million dollar fine to livable amounts, I was advised to plead guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute marijuana. My prison term was 23 months in addition to the seizure of nearly half a million dollars by the Whitefish Police Department and the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force. Seized items included my home, a collection of automobiles, a motorcycle, a ski boat, and some firearms. To initiate my arrest, a girlfriend with momentary objections to our personal situation dialed 911, and I walked away from the life I knew in handcuffs. The purchase of this property was made possible because of 35 years of employment in the railroad industry, construction trades, employment within my family's business, and legitimate entrepreneurial endeavors. The money made from sales of marijuana paled by comparison, but task force warriors rushed to seize nearly all assets of value. Regarding marijuana, I humbly appeal to all who judged me then and judge other people and me now to consider what I have learned through personal inquiry, observation, and experience: Cannabis sativa/marijuana/pot/hemp originated early in the history of the world. It was a product of evolution, intelligent design, or a compilation of both. The plant has existed and has been utilized by people and cultures for a long time. The oldest piece of fabric known to man was made from hemp -- cannabis sativa -- and dates to 8,000 years before Christ. At some point early in the history of man or his predecessors, the plant was discovered for its mood-altering and medicinal effects. Ancient China and India provide the earliest records of its use. At the turn of the 20th century, as many as two thirds of the world's cultures used marijuana for pain relief and its euphoric qualities. In 1937, the U.S. legislated marijuana illegal with the passing of the Marijuana Tax Act. Although doctors had been prescribing cannabis for a hundred years, the bill was rushed through Congress with no testimony by the American Medical Association. A clique of wealthy individuals and corporations employing and controlling the influence of newspaper and banking interests along with friends and relatives at high levels of government were able to manipulate views of the American public. This scheming would reap billions in personal and corporate income for the parties involved because there would be no competition from the hemp plant. When I was in my teens and going to school in Columbia Falls, alcohol was, as it still is today, the drug of choice for the community; it was only natural that consumption would find its way into the social scene of the youth. Binge drinking has probably been inherent with alcohol use since fermentation was discovered. My first contact with marijuana occurred when I was 18. Older friends returning from Vietnam brought their observations of war, and they told me about the enjoyable and relaxing effects of marijuana. Some brought samples smuggled in their duty-free stereos. We were compatriots in life and another taboo. I tried the stuff and I liked it. It didn't make me ill, I wasn't obnoxious when using it, and my friends and I weren't drunkenly racing our cars and forgetting what we had done on a previous evening. Throughout history, warriors have been returning to their homelands with different ideas . . . and plunder. The introduction of cannabis to western civilization is believed to have occurred when Napoleon's troops invaded Egypt. This is the way of people. This is the way of the world. The primary argument for marijuana's illegal status is the belief that it provides a gateway to more harmful drugs. It is a gateway. Alcohol and tobacco are also gateways and have killed millions of people. Which gateways are most harmful and which are less harmful? And, if in living, we walk through a gate into a dangerous situation but can find our way back to the relative safety of the gate -- are we always to be condemned? Lurking in a dark area well beyond this "gate" is a frightfully addictive drug called methamphetamine. If the increasing use of meth, a poison made from poisons, could be reduced by offering de-criminalized, and in this light, medical use of marijuana, wouldn't we benefit from the experiment? If the hemp plant could help our society decrease its dependence on foreign oil and forests of timber while providing farmers a durable, fast-growing, drought-resistant crop and offering industry a widely useable product, wouldn't we benefit from the experiment? The reason most people move from alcohol to marijuana is because an herb gives them a safer and more interesting experience than booze. Marijuana doesn't put its user over a toilet in the morning vomiting their guts out with a headache. Most people find marijuana more pleasurable than alcohol and easier on their lives. While under the influence of marijuana, an individual rarely loses control of his or her actions, or becomes obnoxious, mean, or violent. These undesirable behaviors are common with the consumption of alcohol or methamphetamine. The reason people move from alcohol or marijuana to methamphetamine is because meth has more kick than either and is more readily accessible; it can be made from easily obtainable ingredients in the basement. But the methamphetamine users I interviewed while incarcerated with them said a big reason for their use of meth is because a product they prefer -- marijuana -- is illegal. Many people who try meth would be delighted if they could legally return to the relative safety of marijuana use. The reason the government of the United States continues to wage a war on marijuana is shrouded in hypocrisy, deception, and lies. Study the issue. A good place to start is a book by Jack Herrer called The Emperor Wears No Clothes. It tells the tragic story of how a few greedy, self-serving individuals managed to outlaw a plant that threatened their foreseeable wealth and their personal "moral values." A plant that had been prescribed by doctors for years and utilized by our nation and the world for paper, fabric, and food was demonized. William Randolph Hearst ran the smear with yellow journalism in his newspapers. The Dupont Corporation discovered how to make a resilient plastic fiber and fabric with petroleum. Until then, the country and military were reliant upon hemp for durable rope and fabric. The oil-based process was patented and called nylon. A combined effort of several key players organized the blacklisting and outlawing of marijuana and hemp. There was Hearst's media smear along with the racially motivated ranting of Harry Anslinger, basically our nation's first drug czar. Anslinger had been appointed to head the newly formed Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs by Andrew Mellon. Mellon was Herbert Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury, and the Mellon Bank was the banking choice for the Dupont family. This self-serving pack of opportunists presented their information to Congress and convinced the government to outlaw marijuana and hemp. They all profited immensely. Another illuminating book about marijuana and its effects was the result of a study commissioned by Richard Nixon and his administration. They got a bunch of scientists and doctors together to realistically analyze the entire spectrum of information and fact surrounding the marijuana issue that had emerged in the 60s. The book from this study is Marihuana, A Signal of Misunderstanding, likely the most comprehensive study of the plant and its effects in history. The 1972 report summarized: "The evils of marihuana," they spelled it with the harsher h, "are the result of 30 years of instilled fear," and that the plant was "incorrectly classified as a narcotic and should have fallen into the same category as alcohol and tobacco." One simple but poignant comment from the study said a reason for people to experiment with drugs is because America's social system "no longer inspires in people a feeling of purpose and meaningfulness." They concluded that the plant was not a significant problem and that the government should consider regulating the product like alcohol and re-evaluate the process of criminalizing people and destroying lives because of its use. Nixon and his group didn't like what they heard, and the study never saw the light of day. A follow-up report was also overlooked. Americans certainly weren't going to vote for a politician promoting decriminalization of a drug, and the tobacco, alcohol, and pharmaceutical interests wouldn't be donating to political war chests if their incomes were challenged. Richard Nixon got caught because of his Watergate burglars and resigned. Jimmy Carter was elected. When the idea of decriminalizing marijuana came before Carter's administration, the fear-based hysteria prevailed. They realized the situation was out of control but couldn't be seen as "soft" on drugs. The economy was driven into failure and America elected an optimistic actor. Incarceration was Ronald Reagan's answer, and he ushered in the seizure of assets for drug offenders and the process of sentencing guidelines resulting in rampant prison growth. CIA-spawned George Bush wasn't soft on drugs either. With his zero tolerance policy, asset seizure and prison population growth continued. Bill Clinton had smoked but he didn't inhale. Bill couldn't be soft either, and an affair with an intern diminished whatever chance he might have had for addressing the smearing and blacklisting of marijuana and its users. Prison construction -- five to six federal joints a year, along with countless state and local holds -- prevailed every year throughout the 90s. Locking people up was providing America's most significant growth in jobs and revenue. George Bush Junior beat Al Gore with a Supreme Court ruling, and four years later he beat John Kerry with a mandate. The raging smear against marijuana and drugs goes on. Junior sent soldiers into harm's way to counter terrorism and secure America's supply of sweet crude oil. This unfortunate phenomenon might not have come upon the world and our country if we had been growing the hemp plant and deriving a significant amount of our needs -- food, fabric, oil, fuel, and biomass -- from hemp. The Declaration of Independence is written on paper made from hemp. George Washington advised farmers to grow the plant. He and Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and their perceptive cohorts might have taken some puffs from the mentally stimulating herb while contemplating a Declaration, Bill of Rights, and Constitution for a great nation. Wouldn't that have been a hoot? As dismal as moneyed interests and their bought-off politicians are who have written the law, America is sprouting little seeds of hope. More and more states are voting for medical marijuana privileges. Cities are voting to allow medical use, to decriminalize, or reduce marijuana regulation to a lowest priority. Even some law enforcement officers realize America's prohibition on drugs is a failed policy. One such group is called Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. The following is an excerpt from their web site: After nearly four decades of fueling the U.S. policy of a war on drugs with over half-a-trillion tax dollars and increasingly punitive policies, our prisoner population has quadrupled over a 20 year period making building prisons this nation's fastest growing industry. More than 2.2 million citizens are currently incarcerated and every year we arrest an additional 1.6 million for nonviolent drug offenses -- more per capita than any country in the world. The United States has 4.6 percent of the population of the world but 22.5 percent of the world's prisoners. Every year we choose to continue this war will cost U.S. taxpayers another 69 billion dollars. Despite all the lives we have destroyed and all the money so ill spent, illicit drugs are cheaper, more potent, and far easier to get than they were 35 years ago at the beginning of the war on drugs. Meanwhile, people continue dying in our streets while drug barons and terrorists continue to grow richer than ever before. We would suggest that this scenario must be the very definition of a failed public policy. This madness must cease! Inform yourself. Watch a TV show called Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way, which aired on the History Channel and discusses the reasons drugs were made illegal.

Truth about America's involvement with drugs is available. Law enforcement personnel and judges, prosecutors, voters, and the public at large need to know it. My analysis of this information prior to my arrest caused me to think a sense of understanding and decreased urgency concerning marijuana was beginning to prevail in our society, and consequently, in the courts and the minds of jurors. Even Montana's conservative legislature had voted 40 percent for allowing medical use of marijuana. While I was incarcerated, an initiative referendum to allow medical use was passed when this measure was placed before the voters of Montana, and an argument can be made that a large percentage of marijuana use is medical in nature. Mine was -- pain reduction and relief from stress and depression. Some of my customers were cancer patients. They got good deals on their choice for medicine from me. I broke the law and was arrested. I knew I risked imprisonment and financial loss if caught selling marijuana. I sold only to adults and advised my group of customers to do the same. I didn't think my entire life's income would be at stake, and had I known this would occur, I would not have taken the risk. Because I disobeyed the law of this land, I've had to accept the seizure of my possessions and serve my allotted time in prison. I apologize to my family, friends, and community for the pain, embarrassment, or monetary loss caused by my actions. I hope I can be a valuable contributor to our country's beneficial existence, and I think saving 70 billion a year on the drug war would be a good start. Ceasing to destroy the lives of those arrested would be a good start. It is beyond time for America to critically analyze the costs associated with the drug war. A U.S. Department of Justice/Bureau of Justice Statistics webpage titled "Direct Expenditures by Criminal Justice Function, 1982-2001" lists the amounts of money the government spent to cover judicial, police, and corrections costs between 1982 and 2001. Police expenses went from 19 million to 72.5 million per year, judicial costs rose from 7.7 million to 37.5 million, and the cost of corrections jumped from 9 million to almost 57 million. The total amount spent for these three departments between 1982 and 2001 was 1.846 trillion dollars. It is common knowledge that the primary reason for this increase was a result of the drug war. Extrapolating these figures into the future to the year 2025, hoping that the costs only increase at the rates they did between 1982 and 2001 -- 3.78 percent for police, 4.84 percent for judicial costs, and 6.3 percent for corrections -- reveals even more unbelievable amounts of money. The 2001 figure of 72.5 million spent for police times 24 years times the 3.78 percent rate of increase totals 6.57 trillion to be spent between 2002 and 2025; the 2001 37.57 million spent for judicial purposes multiplied by 24 and then by 4.84 adds up to 4.364 trillion; and 56.95 million dedicated to corrections in 2001 will grow by another 8.61 trillion between 2002 and 2025. Add these three figures up, and one comes up with a whopping 19.545 trillion to be spent arresting, trying, and incarcerating America's citizens between 2002 and 2025. And that's if there is no exponential increase exceeding what occurred between 1982 and 2001. These figures represent amounts the U.S. will spend to provide justice for all offenders -- murderers, child molesters, corporate raiders, thieves, drug users, drug dealers, etc. What percentage of these people will have been influenced directly or indirectly by the use or sale of drugs? Educated guesses range from 40 to 60 percent, depending on which professional you ask. Drug offenders surpassed violent offenders in 1990. If 40 to 60 percent of crime is either directly or indirectly related to drugs, America will be spending between 7.8 and 11.7 trillion to arrest, judge, and incarcerate drug offenders between 2002 and 2025. One million, 678 thousand, and one hundred ninety two people were arrested in America in 2003 for drugs. I was one. It won't be long before this nation will have fought and lost a hundred year war against drugs. As a result of our government's aggressive campaign to control the lives of its citizens, we have the fastest growing imprisonment rate in the world. In the last five years, we have arrested 9 million people for nonviolent drug offenses -- far more per capita than any country in the world. The people of this country, financially and morally, cannot afford the fight. And if America wants its problem with methamphetamine to decline, it will have to allow its citizens something more than alcohol to stimulate their lives. If allowing adults access to marijuana reduced this country's methamphetamine habit, significantly reduced our prison population, and provided farmers a plant that could lessen the nation's demand on petroleum and wood products, wouldn't our society benefit from the experiment? Can America continue to support this war? Can all of the broken lives be justified? Is there a better path for the "land of the free"? Legalize marijuana. Let folks have their pot. Regulate and tax it like alcohol and cigarettes. Demand responsible use and see what happens. The experiment couldn't be worse than where we are or where we're headed. It's time to call a truce in America's longest war -- the war against the people -- the drug war; and it's time to allow some amnesty for its millions of casualties.

Guilty As Charged
I was called "innocent" today, because they assumed I didn't know what chronic was.
tehe.
what a waste of time some people's lifes are. 'Tis true, I have never used chronic, let alone any other kind of illegal substance, or even aspirin, ibu profen and tylenol. Therefore, I do not deny being innocent. (If doing such things does, in fact, result in the annihilation of innocence.) BUT, to determine the amount of innocense residing in an individual solely on the fact that they are not up to par with common street jargon, is just plain ridiculous. I laugh at those who think they're "rebellious", or, i suppose, "guilty" for simply knowing the street name for the widely used, numerously labeled: Marijuana.
