Monkeys or Aliens?


Ok.
So,
It’s possible that we “evolved”/adapted, from forest/jungle/hunter gatherer life, to become what we are now.
By planting seeds we learned to farm, by farming we learned to domesticate, etc. (And speaking, grouping, civilizing)…
So one possibility is that we are a species of monkey, from the planet Earth, that found it’s way into deep consciousness…
Another possibility.
We might be aliens. We committed a “Sin”, or great crime against a space traveling species, or union of species. Or they realized we’re violent, and stupid.
And now have been left to our own devices (to rot) on Earth. Because of the crimes of our fathers, and farming and talking wasn’t too hard to start with our jump start from the stars.

Phenotypes


There are 3 species of Marijuana.
There are thousands of strains.
And there are millions, billions, maybe trillions of phenotypes.
A phenotype is the difference between two plants within one strain.
Ex: White Widow is a cross between Brazilian Landrace, and Thai Landrace. But if you crossed these two Landraces, you could get millions of types of plants.
Breeders do something called “Cross Breeding” to “Stabilize” a strain, and that is how you get specified seeds that will be super super similar plant to plant.
Some phenotypes are well known, and the breeders have locked in the genetics.
But some phenotypes are yet undiscovered, and some breeders are growing plants with all kinds of potential directions to go.
And Crossbreeding makes any genetics, better. If you know what your looking for.

Police Break-ins


“Marijuana can so destroy a man’s character that he mixes freely with persons of another race.” SA Criminology textbook, 1966.
But it’s still ok to beat down our doors, and tear apart our families. All so a crazy badge and gun wielding lunatic can feel the thrill of chasing a flower.

Public Service Announcement


Throw your seeds outside after winter is over.
Take care of them, OR DON’T.
But PUT YOUR SEEDS IN DIRT…
When our kids (future generations) run out of weed, they should just be able to go open the garbage bag that they have from fall. Since in the future weed should become A WEED again. And they should be able to just go grab like 6 ditch weed plants for free, without ANYONE giving a shit
Just get those seeds in some dirt.
DO IT.
And germinating them first is even better.
Planting by sprinkler systems is even BETTER.
 
Try things like putting weed seeds in the soil bags at hardware stores…
If you have a house, your yard. Neighbors yard, RANDOM yards. Little creeks.
Just get this shit out there again…
Weed used to RUN THIS SHIT.
It did whatever it wanted, wherever it wanted. And now we’ve confined it to tiny grow tents.
FREE IT!!

Reefer Madness – Nancy Regan


Do you ever wonder why we are told to just say no?
Or why people call Marijuana a “Gateway drug”, or say that “Weed Kills Braincells”?
The reason we just say no is thanks to Ronald Reagan’s wife.
She went around the country campaigning against all “drugs”, and lumping them into one category for every to be afraid of, and reject.
The reason people call Marijuana a gateway drug is reefer madness.
There was a time when they would put posters up all around town saying, “Watch out for the shifty eyed doper, offering you a reefer cigarette.” and stupid shit like that.
They literally had campaigns going where they not only told, but convinced people that “If you smoke weed, you WILL do heroin.” or “If you smoke weed you could shoot your whole family in your unconscious stupor”.
But these things are just stupid.
Heroin addicts are heroin addicts, not pot heads.
Crazy people shoot people, not stoners. If someone is going to shoot someone over weed, it’s going to be because they WANT it to make money, not because it’s in their system.
But these things have survived in the smallest ways today.
Still people say “Just say no”
And any health class in America would love you to believe that Marijuana is a gateway drug.

Revolution towards a free society!

REVOLUTION TOWARDS A FREE SOCIETY: YIPPIE!
By A. Yippie
“This is a personal statement. There are no spokesmen for the Yippies. We are all our own leaders. We realize this list of demands is inconsistent. They are not really demands. For people to make demands of the Democratic Party is an exercise in wasted wish fulfillment. If we have a demand, it is simply and emphatically that they, along with their fellow inmates in the Republican Party, cease to exist. We demand a society built along the alternative community in Lincoln Park, a society based on humanitarian cooperation and equality, a society which allows and promotes the creativity present in all people and especially our youth.
“Number one. An immediate end to the war in Vietnam and a restructuring of our foreign policy which totally eliminates aspects of military, economic and cultural imperialism; the withdrawal of all foreign based troops and the abolition of military draft.
“Two. An immediate freedom for Huey Newton of the Black Panthers and all other black people; adoption of the community control concept in our ghetto areas; an end to the cultural and economic domination of minority groups.
“Three. The legalization of marijuana and all other psychedelic drugs; the freeing of all prisoners currently imprisoned on narcotics charges.
“Number four. A prison system based on the concept of rehabilitation rather than punishment.
“Five. A judicial system which works towards the abolition of all laws related to crimes without victims; that is, retention only of laws relating to crimes in which there is an unwilling injured party: i.e. murder, rape, or assault.
“Six. The total disarmament of all the people beginning with the police. This includes not only guns but such brutal vices as tear gas, Mace, electric prods, blackjacks, billy clubs, and the like.
“Seven. The abolition of money, the abolition of pay housing, pay media, pay transportation, pay food, pay education. pay clothing, pay medical health, and pay toilets.
“Eight. A society which works towards and actively promotes the concept of full unemployment, a society in which people are free from the drudgery of work, adoption of the concept ‘Let the machines do it.’
“Number ten. A program of ecological development that would provide incentives for the decentralization of crowded cities and encourage rural living.
“Eleven. A program which provides not only free birth control information and devices, but also abortions when desired.
“Twelve. A restructured educational system which provides a student power to determine his course of study, student participation in over-all policy planning; an educational system which breaks down its barriers between school and community; a system which uses the surrounding community as a classroom so that students may learn directly the problems of the people.
“Number thirteen. The open and free use of the media; a program which actively supports and promotes cable television as a method of increasing the selection of channels available to the viewer.
“Fourteen. An end to all censorship. We are sick of a society that has no hesitation about showing people committing violence and refuses to show a couple fucking.
“Fifteen. We believe that people should fuck all the time, any time, wherever they wish. This is not a programmed demand but a simple recognition of the reality around its.
“Sixteen. A political system which is more streamlined and responsive to the needs of all the people regardless of age. sex, or race; perhaps a national referendum system conducted via television or a telephone voting system; perhaps a decentralization of -power and authority with many varied tribal groups, groups in which people exist in a state of basic trust and are free to choose their tribe.
“Seventeen. A program that encourages and promotes the arts. However, we feel that if the free society we envision were to be sought for and achieved, all of us would actualize the creativity within us; in a very real sense we would have a society in which every man would be an artist.’
And eighteen was left blank for anybody to fill in what they wanted. “It was for these reasons that we had come to Chicago, it was for these reasons that many of us may fight and die here. We recognize this as the vision of the founders of this nation. We recognize that we are America; we recognize that we are free men. The present-day politicians and their armies of automatons have selfishly robbed us of our birthright. The evilness they stand for will go unchallenged no longer. Political pigs, your days are numbered. We are the second American Revolution. We shall win.
“YIPPIE.”

Can you snort keif?

NO,
This will NOT work. THC is not water soluble, at all.
Your mucus is…Water. Humans are 75% water. And for anything to work in your nose it must soak into your sinus’.
Do not try to snort any form of Marijuana. It’s wasteful, to say the least.

Smoking vs Eating


When you take a hit of smoke, it enters your lungs. It seeps into your bloodstream with the oxygen you inhaled, and makes it way to your brain hitching a ride with your blood cells. This happens so quickly that a high can be noticed in as short a time as 20-30 seconds, but the downfall of this is that it comes very quick, and leaves very quick. Smoking Marijuana is great, but when you have enough to eat a good amount. There’s just something there that smoking can’t match, but can definitely enhance.
When you eat any Cannabinoid, what happens is:
Very little is absorbed with your saliva sublingually. But very very little.
When it gets to your stomach the butter, or oil, or tincture or whatever you ate is broken down.
If you ate a brownie, you body also has to break down all that material. So the high will come on slower with a brownie than with a weed laced shot, but it will still take about the same amount of time.
So eating Cannabis takes about 30 minutes-1 Hour to feel. It comes on slow, and stays for a longer time.
And theirs something about it, when you get to the right amount. It’s just…Giggly, and Stumbly lol, and it’s great.

What is a synthetic cannabinoid?


What is “Synthetic” Cannabinoid?
These are Cannabinoids that cannot be found in nature.
There are tons of Cannnabinoids in Cannabis, and even some that can be found in other places.
But even more can be found…Or actually, made, in a lab.
These are known as “Synthetic Cannabinoids”
Most of them are known as “JWH-xxx” such as JWH-018, which was recently made illegal in the USA.
But there are also others, such as AM-2201, or CPxxxx.
These “Synthetic” Cannabinoids hit the same receptors in your brain, as when you are smoking weed.
They would have similar effects, but not exactly the same, because they would target different specific areas of the receptor with varied force.
Example: THC might hit the CB1 receptor hard, for a short time. While maybe JWH hits the CB2 receptor hard for a short time, but the CB1 receptor hardly at all. Which would cause an almost 100% different feeling.
I do not suggest using these.
They are illegal for human consumption, there is not much research done on them, and weed is readily available in most places of the world.

THC – Human Evolution


Ok, so Cannabis has been around since god knows when. One of the first reference to it is in the Hindu original text, which is also one of the first know Human texts, The “Rig Veda”. Cannabis lived only in the land of the gods, and Shiva was walking through the desert. Shiva became hot, and tired and rested under the shade of a plant. This was the Cannabis plant, and upon rejuvenation Shiva granted the plant the gift of being sent to grow all over the human world. So not only are we denying ourselves rights, right now. We (the authorities really but I say we because I mean humans) are literally blocking Cannabis from a god granted gift, we are denying the gods and slandering the universe.
So, Cannabis has been in human experience for as long as we have been recording our words. It has also served as a major food staple for humans, which is why I believe noone dies from it. There were probably(Maybe) people who died from OD on Cannabis before, because it only makes sense that there would be. But we have been harmonizing and evolving with this plant, and accepting it’s chemical message for so long. That we can now tolerate an amount that is greater than is possible to intake without passing out, (unless you know some chemistry, have a lot of money, and feel like committing suicide very very expensively, and maybe unsuccessfully)but they all died. We NEEDED to grow Cannabis, so the Cannabis intolerant bodies had no choice but to add Cannabis to their diet, and may not have had any idea what “intolerance” was and may have died without even knowing why. But this may be why we can’t get too high, evolution and adaptation. We adapted to our needs, and our need was to learn how to accept this beautiful chemical message.
Plants don’t have words, or sign language. The only way a plant can talk is with its chemicals (Poison: Don’t touch/eat me, THC:Stay away from my flowers water!/What’s up animals?) And we have been evolving side by side with Cannabis for…How long? It is saying something to us. That only a plant can understand. And plants probably communicate through their roots ALL DAY LONG. The plants probably have such a large collected knowledge, that we can’t even understand. They probably have ideas and systems together. The plants are the key to animal life on earth. They use evaporation as a tool to harness energy, and we only exist as a side effect to plant life. Because the plants were able to become multi-celled, and make use of energy, we were able to hitch a ride to life. We literally NEED them to breathe and eat, and some of them clean our waters.
We need to allow these plants the freedoms they have been given by the gods, and allow them to purify their message. The message right now is probably a mix of SAVE ME!!/I love you/What the fuck??? And we can’t understand 3 combined plant messages. ONE IS HARD ENOUGH. We have been evolving with this plant forever, and we shouldn’t stop now because Nancy Reagan said so. She thinks she can talk to dead people. But anyways, if you LOVE WEED. Plant the seeds you get EVERYWHERE. Save up every year. Whether you plan on helping those seeds grow, or even not ever looking at them. Collect your seeds. Plant them everywhere. This plant cannot fight the injustice that is the side effect of its life (us). So we have to help it, and in the end, it will help us. This plant has been alive and communicating with the world FAR longer and far better than we have. Let’s see what it has to say, and if we know what it’s saying better than anyone else in the world. We will have knowledge that no one can gather from reading ALL THE BOOKS IN THE WORLD. Please help this plant gain back its rights around the world. It doesn’t deserve to be persecuted.

Does THC kill your brain cells?

Some people think that THC kills braincells, this is simply not true.
THC slows braincells down, there is no suffocation, or poisons involved.
It basically gets your brain cells high. The way it slows you down, the way it slows Cancer and Tumors down, it slows braincells down.
But they will sober up, THC does no harm to anything, there is no reason to believe that it is killing braincells.
Plenty of people smoke weed and do well, if someone is smoking and being stupid, it because they are choosing to focus on the fact that they are high, instead of using that high as an uplifting mood to do other things, therefore not learning or furthering themselves. They aren’t “Losing” brain cells though.
So MJ is safe. You can’t OD, you’re not going to get addicted, and it’s not killing your brain cells.

How long does THC stay in your system?


The general “rule of thumb” is, 30 days.
But if you only took one hit one day, it could be out a couple days later, or even not show up at all. Or it could dirty your piss for 30 days. It all depends on who you are, and what you do. Fat content, fitness level, water intake and other things matter a lot.
But there are some strange things that happen.
I’m skinny. And I’ve peed in a cup for a friend so they could give it to their parents, after 31< days of SOBER probation…And it tested positive for Marijuana. So he ended up having to tell his parents he smoked.
But, moral of the story: “30 days” is not “Weed Law”…God never said “And weed shall be in thy system for exactly 30 days.”
It depends who you are, what you do, and…How weed works with you personally….
You can get it out faster, or it can take longer. It all depends.

Weed without seeds

If buds have seeds in them, it means that the buds have been fertilized by a male Marijuana plants pollen, and it grew seeds in the flowers. Which is the point of the plant even having flowers…In nature at least, and for breeding.
The effort that it took to grow these seeds, including: time, light, nutrients, etc. Could have been used on the flower, and THC production.
When male and female plants are kept separate, or if you kill the male plants all together. All females will be purely seedless buds unless they “Hermie”.

Why call it Marijuana?

Early in the 1900′s Marijuana was 100% legal, and it was either known as “Cannabis”, or “Hemp” to most people in America, if they even knew about it at all.
It was really just known about in the Sticks, and it was just commonly known about as a weed, like “Jimsonweed” is today.
The only people that may have referred to it as “Marijuana” are people in the very southern parts of states such as Texas, New Mexico, California, and any other state that used to be part of Mexico, and of course it was known as Marijuana in Mexico.
At this time there was some scientific breakthroughs with Marijuana, and it was about to take over the paper industry. The big paper companies didn’t want that, and one man began using his multiple News presses to begin printing stories about people smoking a new drug called “Marijuana”, and it was described as much much more terrible for society than it actually is.
They wanted people to really hate it, and most Americans at that time didn’t care for Mexican immigrants, and did not like that they were bringing their drug “Marijuana” into our country. Giving “Cannabis/Hemp” that Mexican twist, made it possible for them to make it the way it is today.
But the people of America didn’t know they were talking about Hemp, they didn’t know it was hemp that was going to be made illegal.

Why Marijuana contains THC


Some people believe that the Marijuana plant has developed THC to keep water away from its flowers, so that mold can not kill the part of the plant that makes the seeds, so it is thought to be a defense mechanism against water, that just so happens to effects humans the way it does.
Maybe that’s why it’s there, maybe that’s how it got there in the first place.
But it has been with us for a long time, and I think that there is another reason it is here now. It knows that we enjoy being high, it understands that we will plant its seed, protect it, and harvest it, if it produces a strong chemical signal through cannabinoids.
I think it feels like it needs us to survive since we have taken over the planet, and more-so now since half of the humans love the plant, while half of the humans hunt it, as if it has done some terrible crime against humanity. (Less than half hunt, and over half smoke in the world. But somehow the hunters still get their way)
I think the Marijuana plant contains THC, at least partially, because it wants to survive and it wants us to love it so that it can.

Why is Marijuana illegal?


Marijuana is Illegal because of racism, and the fact the an industry was afraid of it, and one man with enough money decided to do something to fight the flower.
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMM_T_PJ0Rs Post this here.)
Most Americans throughout history have known Marijuana as “Hemp” or “Cannabis”.
It was applied many ways, including to make paper, clothing, medicine, and all kind of things. The only problem was that once the slaves had been freed, there was no way to effectively smash all of the Hemp into pulp to use it.
Until around the 1920′s when an invention was made that could change everything, because it could do the work that the slaves had done before. This was called the decorticator. And it was going to revolutionize industry.
A man named William Randolf owned a bunch of paper based factories, and was going to have to convert from lumber, to hemp. It would have cost him a lot of money, and he didn’t want to do that. So he decided to start printing stories in his newspapers about this new drug called “Marijuana”, and told everyone that people were getting high on it and doing crazy things.
So they outlawed it.
But the people of America didn’t know that they were outlawing hemp, they didn’t realize that the “drug” that they were told was coming from Mexicans and corrupting our population, was the same thing that was about to revolutionize their world.
