These are the reasons people think hemp can save humanity from itself (the mellow buzz helps too). I eat hemp nut as part of my breakfast and you can actually get an ice-cream like hemp product if you want to. Neither of these will give you any buzz at all. I also wear hemp cloths and smoke BC bud. I'm curious to see what Ziggy has come up with. also: Matthew 21:42 Could it be that this movie is about hemps nutritional value and the (green) industrial uses of hemp fibre and oil or how about renewable energy from hemp oil?

Marijuanaman promises to shatter all expectations — this is not the comic you think it is!

Why should they not praise what their religion holds sacred? Anyway, the novel looks interesting, but my real motive was to remind people of the anniversary of Bob Marley's birth (I do believe he is related to Ziggy), coming up Feb 6 - less than a hundred hours to go!:) http://www.rastaites.com/events/bobmarleyday.htm Or, do it yourself: http://www.howtodothings.com/holidays/how-to-celebrate-bob-marley%E2%80%99s-birthday Anon #2: For the Rastafari, marijuana is a bona fide religious sacrament.

I'm not saying it was easy, but the hardest part was the tobacco which we Europeans tend to mix in to make our joints. 30 or so years ago I did a bit of heroin over a 3 month period, just smoking it Chinese-style. At the end of the 3 months I was smoking a bit every evening, let me tell you getting off that was much harder than quitting the THC. Conclusion : the weed ain't so bad, just mind the quantities and beware of too much regularity Funny timing, this, for me on a personal level. 3 weeks ago I finally kicked a 25-year, 2 to 3 grammes-per-day grass and hashish habit.

Most problems with drugs, is caused by people who can't handle it but still do it. I smoke weed every day, all day, have been for the last 12 years or so, even have a quick smoke before going to work. It does not affect my performance, it does not make me miss work, I still go out and hang out with friends. As far as I know, other than the effects of smoking, it isn't harming me in any way Not really the wrong kind, just that you couldn’t handle the drug.
