Is there a doper anywhere that did not start with pot? I wonder how the productivity works out for a worker that shows up to work after having done bazooka size bong hits? We heard the "high minded" (I could not resist that low hanging fruit) civil libertarian blah-blah-blah,blah-blah.
Now let's get real and check it out for how it really is.

ReplyDelete"The prestige of government has undoubtedly been lowered considerably by the prohibition law. For nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced. It is an open secret that the dangerous increase of crime in this country is closely connected with this."

Marijuana is not as benign as people believe. Its use should not be encouraged. However, I doubt that its use should be criminal.
ReplyDeleteI am a researcher at a university and have studied the effects of drugs, particularly alcohol, on the brain for the last decade or so. Like many of my friends and colleagues, I consider marijuana to be a relatively low-risk drug when used in moderation by responsible adults. However, I am now forced to admit that my view of the discontinuation syndrome was naïve and that I was completely unprepared for it myself:
Week 1: Despite missing my evening smoking session and feeling some mild irritability, I felt fine.
Week 2: Mild flu-like symptoms, which I assumed to be viral in nature though it did not exactly feel viral. No real desire to smoke marijuana. I assumed I was out of the woods and had gotten off easy.
Week 3: Sudden onset of incredibly intense and vivid dreams. Profuse sweating at night. Difficulty discerning dreaming from waking state. Lack of energy. Upset stomach. Absolutely no appetite. Unable to focus. Saw my primary care physician. All labs normal.
Week 4: This is where the real problems began for me. Sudden onset of intense, full body anxiety…. This led to complete insomnia for days. A very deep feeling of dread and a sense that I was going completely insane. Crying spells that came from nowhere….
Week 5: The intense anxiety slowly began to dissipate… was able to sleep for 4-6 hours a night, which is approaching normal for me. Appetite slowly came back but the thought of eating was unpleasant. Feeling of confidence began to return. Feelings of hopelessness and of going crazy began to diminish.
It wasn't the pot that caused those symptoms.
ReplyDeleteRufus has saddled it.
ReplyDeleteYou could also use the stuff for horse feed, though I don't know if anyone would want to ride me after.
How about use it as biofuel, Rufus?

It doesn't always start with weed and most likely is not the cause of moving on to the next step of using heroin and myth. They are two different highs.

ReplyDeleteHemp is, supposedly, a wonderful biofuel crop; but it's illegal to grow in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteIt is legal to grow in some other countries, however, and, to date, no biofuel production has grown up around it.

ReplyDeleteU.S. Appeals to Palestinians to Stall U.N. Vote on Statehood
The Obama administration has initiated a last-ditch diplomatic campaign to avert a confrontation this month over a plan by Palestinians to seek recognition as a state at the United Nations, but it may already be too late, according to senior American officials and foreign diplomats.
The administration has circulated a proposal for renewed peace talks with the Israelis in the hopes of persuading the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, to abandon the bid for recognition at the annual gathering of world leaders at the United Nations General Assembly beginning Sept. 20...
Senior officials said the administration wanted to avoid not only a veto but also the more symbolic and potent General Assembly vote that would leave the United States and only a handful of other nations in the opposition. The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss diplomatic maneuverings, said they feared that in either case a wave of anger could sweep the Palestinian territories and the wider Arab world at a time when the region is already in tumult. President Obama would be put in the position of threatening to veto recognition of the aspirations of most Palestinians or risk alienating Israel and its political supporters in the United States...

There was another article in the local paper today confirming, though down playing, what we all here knew anyway, and that is the wolves have indeed crossed the Snake and are into the Wallowas and Blues. In fact, they were there three or four years ago. That 57 head of elk, like the number of our states, my wife and I saw a couple years ago, I imagine by now it is nowhere to be seen. Again, as always, Fish and Games underestimates the numbers dramatically.
ReplyDeleteIf Rufus can talk about ethanol endlessly, I feel entitled to do the same about the disaster occurring here.
Quirk, I hope you listened to Sarah's speech today, as I just have done. Not a great speech, filled with cliches, but she did touch on some themes dear to your heart. How both parties are filled with bastards - who become, as is well said, not that she said it, much more numerous the further you get from Missoula, Montana, and how they are going to be hard to get rid of.
She also, if I heard aright, advocated cutting the taxation of corporations to zero, a position I'm sure you wouldn't like. Remember though the dividends are taxed. She thought it would jump start the economy. To my despair she didn't mention the capital gains tax.

Nobody wants to shoot up with a little myth?
ReplyDeleteI'll smoke it myself, then, alone.
Was reading today, in a deep book, bout a mythy understand of the usual image in our modern age of the Cross.
The horizontal cross beam, of course, is symbolic of the secular world, our sufferings and redemption.
But notice, how in the usual depiction of it, at least today, it is a little higher up than midway, thus signifying the importance of the secular life, and the necessity and urgency of trying to do something about the forever and endless sufferings of the world, which will of course never cease.
But the vertical beam is longer, compared to the horizontal, the beam that is reaching towards transcendence, always available, dissecting the horizontal beam, putting all things in perspective.
One way of looking at that myth.
Drugs ain't gonna get you there.
But such an understanding might help.
The Cross we bear today, and always and ever, is the Cross of everyday life. Remember the vertical beam, as you bear.
