ON TOPIC…i must be old – I caught the tail end of the original strains that were not screwed with by man. I smoked REAL Columbian Gold- Incredible taste, like noting in this world and an amazingly potent high. Panama Red, yes the real thing,It had some black hash-like pure resinous goo(NOT OPIUM!) in the center of the Cola – NOT man made- ONE little metal bowlful and both my friend and I, at 15 years old (usually TONS of energy) fell asleep for 8 hours! LOLOLOL – We woke up with the needle of the album repeatedly hitting the end of the record and saying ” WOAH -What Happened?” WOW. My Mom gave it to me for $5 she needed. Oh BAAROTHER.
I have never seen anything as amazingly sweet and potent since, EVER…you kids don’t know what you missed. smiles
They’re nuts when they say it’s getting more potent. ANd so what? – Robert Vetter made an offer to be a lab rat, I agree- I am dyin from MS, I’m up for a research project – %100 – let’s go for it- I won’t DIE- I may sleep for a while, which is GREAT to me because of insomnia, but I’ll be fine after I wake. In a normal situation, I would just smoke much less.

Darth Post33- Thank you! for that link and good info – I’m very excited to see that people are jumping on the RE-Schedule Bandwagon. It is and always has been the main issue in my mind. Because what good is all of this State voting and legislation and all the plans that are going on for compassion Clubs and organizing all the rallies and inteviews –you get it- TONS OF WORK – that can still be made null and void by the boot of a federal agent and all his buddies with riot gear. After the fact, everyone has to fight it out in court. It sickens me and it’s not ignorant (as you wrote, NIXON had the truth and evidence) it has become a downright stupid waste of the taxpayers money.

It is the rule of advertisers to sell the product that they are Preaching!! If the Government has weed that has 30 percent Thc then I volunteer for the experiments. Can you imagine the Reality show Survivor where the contestants have to smoke a fatty before going to a reward challange. Ohhh I bet they would work really hard for that food. Chasing and eating anything that moves!! Imagine the for charity drunk experiments that cops do with celebrities and then let them get behind the wheel to complete an obstacle course, Oh, they don’t want to do that with weed because the people will drive too safely!!! I like the idea that all elected officials should be invited by the DEA to smoke some of this super potent bud and then see if they can justify their war on The American Public. I want my government to protect me from the Drug Cartels by ending Prohibition, but they want us to bleed a little more to satisfy some twisted sadistic need to punish us because they say so, Logic does not compute to them. Voting them out is our only hope!!!!

When we can take the money and power away from the politicains then this country can get back to what its supposed to be ..FREE! WE are America, it not what the government thinks is best for America,its what WE THE PEOPLE know is best for America. Whats best is for the government is to shrink dramatically and get out of our lives. We can take care of our own. We don’t need them as they think. The country won’t stop with out them,thats what they are afraid of,not being needed,not being …”powerful”. Pathetic people they are.

Just an aside: On a rowdy TV show tonight, I heard about a murder that was done by someone “in a cannabis rage!” Incredible! This was the most baseless, viscous propaganda, in the form of entertainment! And I HAVE noticed – murder as entertainment? These are the same people who would tell us which drug to use? Of course MJ does not cause rages! On the contrary, it tends to quiet them.

To za about marinol: One chief complaint about marinol is that it gets users too high. This complaint is from the users. Note that the drug warriors don’t have any particular problem with that! The key is that some big corporation is making a handsome profit – which makes all the difference! Their problem (I lump pharmaceutical companies with drug warriors) with street MJ is not that it gets anyone too high – it’s that they don’t make any money off of it! Note that the only movement we’ve seen toward more sane drug policy is that, in lieu of prison, the drug warriors might be willing to substitute “drug programs” (brain washing). They really don’t care about anything nearly as much as that the cash keeps flowing.

Of course potency doesn’t really matter, except that more potent is better! It doesn’t matter because users puff ’til they’re done. They don’t get twice as high on MJ that is twice as potent – they smoke half as much. So any possible secondary damage to the lungs (never demonstrated) is minimized. This is common knowledge; I wonder why I have to repeat it? Are the drug warriors that stupid? Or are they malicious? You know it’s the latter.

At this point, the only thing holding them back is the realization that admitting that they were wrong the whole time means that SOMEBODY is owed some payback.
They just don’t want to admit they were wrong… They were wrong.
