We're not talking Hemp but Sativa or Indica. Hemp has a low THC/CBD content and is generally for textiles, rope and cloth.

This is true, but overgrow shut down under odd circumstances. See also here.

It doesn't look at all like a pipe or cigarette. It does look like cone-style joint. I've never seen one myself, but you can't deny the resemblance.

Why are you uptight about weed? It's a much less destructive alternative to alcohol.

So legal weed coming INTO the state constitutes a great threat, but setting up cheap liquor stores just across the state border from the Lakota reservation (with a huge alcoholism rate) is just swell...

Marijuana does not cause lung cancer. Dr. Donald Tashkin made this finding 6 years ago now

Thank you for mentioning Dr Tashkin. You made me rememeber a interview he did some time ago:

HT: Has your research changed your view on marijuana prohibition over the years?

DT: Well, I still maintain that, in terms of safety and health effects, I believe that smoking any substance is not good for your health, but there could be in certain desperate situations where no other remedy is available, there might be an indication, on a case by case basis, for smoking a substance that may have more benefit than harm.

HT: Aside from smoking, how do you see marijuana as a “risky” medicine?

DT: Outside of the smoking factor? I’m not an expert in that area. I think you need to talk to a behavioral psychologist or someone interested in the effects on cognition. This is an area I really have no expertise in and I prefer not to comment on it

Emphasis are mine. Source: http://hightimes.com/news/mikeg_ht/3658 :-)

Please, keep me feeding with so astonishing remembrances.

Somewhat offtopic, but you may be surprised(or not) to learn that, in the late nineties, Dragnet was #2 on High Times' top ten list of shows to watch while high (with #1 being the Simpsons).

And there's a pretty good chance you're eventually going to have to take a drug test. According to a 2004 American Management Association (AMA) study, 61.8 percent of companies surveyed said they test employees for illegal substances.

"We have discovered that some of them are simply detached from reality," a security source told Ynetnews.

And treating soldiers with marijuana will help?

"Does this point the way of the future for other weeds?"

IANAH(I am not a horticulturist), but people who grow another illegal plant already use selective breeding for specific purposes. Usually it's for appearence, taste, high, growing conditions. I haven't heard of a herbicide resistant maryjane, but this isn't exactly a new thing.

Oh, and Dave's not here... sorry, I had to.

No mention of the War on Drugs

Oh my dear pot smoking (maybe?) friend... i behest you to follow this link: HighTimes - Help, I'm stoned, who should I vote for.

...when High Times picks it up!

High Times actually exists; and it's indeed a publication of a different snort...;=)
Check out their news section.

You could market these in High Times and make a fortune!

i think you want to go here.

This.

Be a far better crop to grow up there in the long run.

Not to mention the delivery options this would make available.

Knocking over the "scope" is the ultimate party foul... :)

Michael Pollan wrote an editorial in the 7/19/02 NYT (reg req blah) that supports just the points I made above.

Michael Pollan is the brilliant botanist who's fresh air interview made a hero out of marajuana.

Both Low Carb Dieters and Healthy Eaters will probably find support for their beliefs in the article, but I would posit that the gist of the article supports my contention that refined sugar, vilified by both Atkins and The Health Establishment, is Bad rather than the Atkins/Seal claim that a "Healthy" diet high in complex carbohydrates is to blame for obesity and the cure is eschew that false saint and pray instead to the great god of well-marbled beef, deep fried and basted in butter.

To clarify, I don't object to the concept that reducing sugared foods will help people cut weight - that seems tautological - but I do object to the contention that fat doesn't cause weight gain and the villain is the vegetable. That just violates thermodynamics and all available data.

But simple physics also dictates that if someone finds that they, personally, are more satisfied with fewer calories of fat rather than more calories worth complex carbohydrates (times the 97% bioavailiblity of fat calories vs. the 85% bioavailibility of complex carbohydrate calories), then the fat will result in less net weight gain. Note that there is no long term study to suggest that it is safe to do so, and the suggestion that it is contradicts all studies so far done. But what the hell, if you look good who cares?

Anyway, to dump another steaming load of reason into the middle of the debate, one which fits the established view of diet, Pollan points out:

The problem in corn's case is that we're sacrificing the health of both our bodies and the environment by growing and eating so much of it. Though we're only beginning to understand what our cornified food system is doing to our health, there's cause for concern. It's probably no coincidence that the wholesale switch to corn sweeteners in the 1980's marks the beginning of the epidemic of obesity and Type 2 diabetes in this country. Sweetness became so cheap that soft drink makers, rather than lower their prices, super-sized their serving portions and marketing budgets. Thousands of new sweetened snack foods hit the market, and the amount of fructose in our diets soared.

This would be bad enough for the American waistline, but there's also preliminary research suggesting that high-fructose corn syrup is metabolized differently than other sugars, making it potentially more harmful. A recent study at the University of Minnesota found that a diet high in fructose (as compared to glucose) elevates triglyceride levels in men shortly after eating, a phenomenon that has been linked to an increased risk of obesity and heart disease. Little is known about the health effects of eating animals that have themselves eaten so much corn, but in the case of cattle, researchers have found that corn-fed beef is higher in saturated fats than grass-fed beef.

It's the damn corn syrup kids - no matter what diet religion you pledge fealty to, it's the source of your Satan: fructose and saturated fat.

first +1 bonus reply to 420 weedsmoking post! karma be damned! Enjoy the High Times or they will pass you by.

You answer your own question (smugly), making a spurrious correlation.

If you want your question answered correctly, look here:

You also could have said "Columbine happened 4/20". Or you could have said "On April 20, 1971, the United States Supreme Court upheld the use of busing to achieve racial desegregation in schools."

But I suppose that you just want to somehow link marijuana smokers with Hitler. But that's cool, you're allowed to be ignorant. It's your right.

Hey kids, let's play Mad Libs!!!

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD troll community when last month the DEA confirmed that *BSD trolls account for 99 percent of LSD use worldwide. Coming on the heels of the latest High Times survey which plainly states that none of them have a clue as to which end of a joint to light, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD trolling is collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing a recent drug test.

You don't need to be Bob Cringely to predict this *BSD troll's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD trolling faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD trolling because *BSD trolls are frying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD trolls. As many of us are already aware, *BSD trolls continue to lose brain cells. Lysergic acid flows like a river of dreams. Anonymous Coward is the most endangered of them all.

Let's pull some numbers out of my ass.

I've seen this same lame cut and paste troll message about 7000 times since I first noticed it. How many *BSD trolls are there? Let's see. The number of *BSD troll posts on Slasdot is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1 BSD story. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 opportunities for this lamer to defecate from his oral orifice. But this annoying little prick continues to operate on less than half a brain. Therefore there are about 700 comestains on his sheets and he wonders why no women will even look at him. A recent BSD troll lost about 80 percent of his grey matter to crack smoking. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 brain cells left in his otherwise empty head. This is consistent with the number of crashes his favorite toy OS has undergone in the past year *cough*Windows*cough*.

Due to the problem of keeping a reliable supply of acid handy, negative cash flow and so on, a BSD troll went out and picked up some contaminated drugs on the street. Now the BSD troll is also dead, its corpse turned black and rotting on the floor.

All major surveys show that *BSD trolling has steadily declined in intellignece, not that it ever had any. *BSD trolling is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD trolling is to survive at all it will be because it keeps the BSD troll baiters amused. *BSD trolling continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD trolls are dead.

The kids are back. The kids are back. Ohhh watch out, the kids are back.

So did your 'research' happen to include actually setting up and testing an OpenBSD box vs. the competition, or did you just do your 'research' in alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.bestiality again?

In other news, yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered BSD troll community when last month the Drug Enforcement Agency confirmed that they account for nearly all this nation's LSD consumption. Coming on the heels of the latest High Times survey which revealed none of them know which end of a joint to light, this news confirms the truth the rest of us know: BSD trolls are frying.

How many tabs of acid does that work out to? Let's take a look at the numbers:

In 1999, 39.9 percent of adult males arrested were found to have traces of pot in their systems. How does this relate to the number of dosers? Well it allows me to pull the ratio of 5 to 1 out of my butt. So lets say that 7.9 percent of arrest-prone lowlifes are licking lysergic acid-laced Mickey Mouse stamps. With their judgement thusly impaired, they are prone to believe in system speed test done by so-called sysadmins who don't even bother to tune an operating system after installing it, invent spurious statistics about nothing in particular, and generally talk (and type) out their ass.

BSD trolls face a hazy future, albeit one populated by dancing pink elephants and other distracting hallucinations. The rest of us can only pity these poor souls.

IMHO, there will be quite a few. This is a quite common tactic among the police. If the heat scan was the only probable cause used to get a warrant to search the house, the conviction most likely would be overturned. I'll bet the guys at High Times are dancing in the streets ;-)


Enigma

Heh heh heh.

>:^D

First of all, i wonder what their quarterly reports look like.

14 Desk Thingies : $11,304,110
04 Original Cans of Spam: $145
87 Fooblargs : $2,492
01 Stuff : $6,000,000,000,000

Or maybe they are just spending a lot on Stuff on trips to Amsterdam.

In any case, wait one second while I remove The Shaft That is AT&T out of my backside.

Wherez the Doritos & Twinkies!!! Why is my mouth all dry??? :)~

TWINKIES! Ah, the fun of experiencing The Twinkies Project with full smell-enabled hyperlinks...

Thinking about it now, I think I might be ill. :) Maybe the High Times website would be safer. :)

I have been told by an applied math geek friend of mine that STW is another one of those "it's all connected, maaaan..."-type theories along the line of "e^(pi * i) + 1 = 0", although a good deal messier. I've also been informed that STW was used heavily in Wiles' proof, not unlike a load-bearing block in Jenga.

(Never mind "First Post!" I hereby start the new tradition of "Most Links!" After all, it's more productive, and more importantly, it's all connected, maaaaaan....)
