  1. Re:Robots with FLAME THROWERS? by arivanov · · Score: 1 · on Man Finally Makes the Weed-Removing Robot

    There is no need to build a robot with identification capability for that. Cannabis fields can be identified trivially on aerial and space photos taken in the near infraread provided that you have relatively accurate temperature and time of day data for the time the picture was taken.
    The only reason it is still around as a mass drug crop is that governments need a scarecrow for various varieties of "war of drugs".
    By the way, flamethrowers will not help either. As the ifor troops in Afganistan learned it does not burn very well. And the little that burns from a flamethrower will provide some entertaining experience to any soldier happening to be downwind:http://cannabis.net/articles/giant-mariju ana.html

    Not only cats and dogs, spiders have also been recipients of drugs. While not quite indicative of the munchies, the effects of the various drugs are fairly easy to see. Check out Spiders on drugs

  3. Spare me the BS by Ohcanada2010 · · Score: 2, Informative · on Vaccinated Against Vices?
    Bush uses those zones at every event, and this is the only time I've ever seen Democrats use these zones. If you watched Democratic events, you'd notice something you don't see at Republican events, little things called protesters. I imagine the only reason they're using these zones now is the hyper inflated "risk" of a terror attack on the convention, a scenario pushed by the Bush administration. Back to the issue at hand, which side wants to escalate the War on drugs and remove your rights. Bush has recently called for a federal crackdown on marijuana users, and has redirected police resources to handle the "scourge" of pot-smoking. Kerry on the other hand has already said he views pot as little worse than alcohol and has called for defacto decrim of personal possession in a rolling stone interview he did a year ago. He also called for the elimination of manditory minimum sentences for drug crimes. He also supports medical marijuana, and wants to remove the provisions from the PATRIOT Act that allow police to monitor library records, require more judicial supervision, and restrict its use to strictly anti-terrorism cases,( unlike Ashcroft who apparently cares more about people buying whores than about Osama attacking America). All of which isn't enough for Libertarians and it's not enough for me, but it's a start and it proves the equivilance of the two Parties to be a lie.

    As for the Parties as a whole, in a recent bill to allow states to set their own rules for Medical Marijuana, only 10% of Republican Reps voted in favor of it, while nearly two thirds of Democrats did. While we need to flush the bad third of Dems out, most of them chose the sane option. They aren't the same, one Party is salvageable, whilst the Republicans are wholly controlled by an evil, backward, sect of Puritanical monsters.

    Any questions?

    Caffeine is a drug that seems to have a stronger impact on small animals.
