What’s it like to be high?

by dope smoker on May 4, 2013

 

 

Here is one of the best descriptions of the cannabis high I have ever heard (except for parts of this by Terence Mckenna) – from Dr Bob Melamede PHD.

And I just love this final quote:

“We not only need to end prohibition – we need to reverse prohibition, we need 60 years where you’ve got to consume and lets see the effects of that on our future society.”

Yes indeed Bob I cannot think of a better way to improve the world.

10 Really bad things about cannabis

by dope smoker on April 30, 2013

1. Running out of it.

This is never good  – something I try to avoid if at all possible by growing as much as I can.

2. The cost of it.

Especially where prohibited. Prices are going up in the UK, and there is little to be done (barring a legal change) apart from grow your own.

3. Purchasing it in countries with prohibition can lead to contact with ‘class a’ drugs.

This is a well known problem – illegality pushes this highly lucrative market into the hands of anyone who wants to have a go.

4. The legal status of cannabis in many countries i.e. UK, Ireland, France.

Goes without saying. Laws in the UK are so antiquated they appear to have led to a young man’s suicide.

5. The ignorance of many in regard to cannabis.

The media have done a great job of convincing us about the danger of cannabis ‘factories’ which are merely indoor growing areas. Huge amounts of bullshit are still trotted out by some. Even the BBC.

6. The effects of the ‘war’ against cannabis users.

The big picture is not good. Many who get a conviction for cannabis will never get a job, so are forced underground to a different life because they like a plant.

7. The effect on the environment as a result of not growing cannabis.

A cannabis forest takes out six times more CO2 from the air than a normal forest. We are approaching dangerous levels of CO2 in the atmosphere. Cannabis can also be used to make paper and can be used as a fuel.

8. The personal losses as people die from taking pharmaceuticals where cannabis would have worked instead and not killed them.

People die every day from pharmaceutical drugs that have dangerous side effects.  Cannabis can be used to alleviate and even prevent many age related diseases.

9. The ‘Skunk’ thing.

Skunk types of weed became popular in the UK because they are easy to grow inside, and because they are strong so will always fetch a good price.  Skunk has become so widespread now that some brits think cannabis is only ‘Skunk’.

10. Cannabis oil scammers.

As anecdotal and scientific evidence mounts of cannabis oil being an effective treatment against several cancers, scammers have appeared.

This is a good method for beginners, as it is simple and uses items on hand in most households. You will need at least one saucer, as well as something to use a protective lid – this could be another saucer or even just plastic wrap. You will also need tissue or cotton wool, which must be soaked in water to provide a slow-release source of moisture to the seeds.

Line the saucer with the moist tissue and gently place the cannabis seeds onto the tissue. Cover the saucer with a second saucer or whatever you have chosen to act as a lid. Make sure to place the saucer in a warm place—near a radiator, next to the boiler, or if you don’t mind splashing out on extras, a heating pad is a great idea.

Make sure to check the seeds every day, and if the tissue is drying out, add more water. After two to three days, the seeds should all have sprouted, and may have tap-roots of a couple of centimetres long. At this stage the seeds must be transferred into a more suitable growing medium, i.e soil, soil-less mix, or rock-wool.

Be very careful to avoid damaging the young, tender root as you remove it from the tissue, as the roots often grow between the layers of tissue and can become bonded to them. In fact, it is better to cut or gently tear the surrounding tissue rather than tug the root out too vigorously. A few scraps of remaining tissue will not harm the growing seedling.

After one or two days on moist tissue, your seeds should all have sprouted.

Who are the best cannabis breeders?

April 23, 2013

. . . This is an interesting question. The latest medical research in cannabis (much of which has been around for several years) shows that the CBD in cannabis is the real wonder-element as it were. That’s not to say at all that the THC is not beneficial. So – you would think that decent [...]
