  Guess who? yes me, I know I'm now being a pain, but as we were having this conversation anyway I couldn't resist a comment. I have written a reply to your last comment on my blogg about porn, and your most recent post was obviously spurred what we spoke about. Yes I put my hands up to all you readers I have smoked pot, I smoked it regularly for 7 years. I would like to say at this point that there are different strengths of cannabis, and the type I smoked is known as 'skunk' in England and chronic in the USA. Now for those who don't know, 'skunk' is grown hydroponically (excuse my spelling) which means it is grown in tanks of water and chemicals under special lights which encourage faster growth. The chemicals produce a product known as THC (this has a name but I can't remember the spelling too many years smoking pot!) THC is toxic, as is alchohol and Heroin and every other drug known to man. Toxins are what make us high, and low for that matter, and toxins over time build up in the system. Well depending on the supplier depends on how many toxins are added to your skunk, which is incidentally sticky, it has a resin, yes just like heroin and just like cocaine. The resin is what makes you high and the resin is what makes you addicted. This drug has only been around for approx twenty years. The cannabis the hippies smoked is not the same, and niether was it addictive like skunk, so don't be fooled boys and girls, your ounce of grass aint all its cracked up to be. When I began withdrawing off of skunk, 2ish years ago, for the first two weeks, I suffered hot sweats, stomach cramps and broken sleep. These symptons are similar to the withdrawal from alchohol or heroin, this is when I bagan to realise that cannabis is not the little innocent it once was, and it was only then that I became determined to stop using it. If your cannabis is grown in a pot of soil in normal daylight then lucky you, it is a natural product and may not cause you too many problems, however in the UK now we are seeing more and more teenagers institutionalised in mental health units and prisons because of their cannabis (SKUNK) use. Do you want to be the master of your own destiny or the slave of someone elses? Beware, I speak from the heart, not just from the mind xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• realmenluvporn said on Aug 17, 2006....

  OMG!!!! Are you for real, lady??? THC (TetraHydraCannabinol) is contained in the nectar produced by the female of the Cannabis species. It has ALWAYS been the natural product of Cannabis Sativa and Cannabis Indica, it doesn't occur because anybody added anything, and it has been there since long before the hippies started growing it here. It is not a drug, it is a purely naturally occurring substance that humankind has harvested and used from the beginnings of recorded history. It is a major cash crop in Afghanistan and Pakistan and was long before anybody ever heard of hippies. And btw, ANYTHING in large enought quantities can be toxic, including water! It is sticky for exactly the same reason the nectar in any perennial flowering plant is sticky, so that it can catch the pollen of the male plant and complete its reproductive cycle. "Skunk" is a variety of Cannabis that has resulted from selective breeding by cannabis growers, it is an F1 hybrid comprised of 75% Cannabis Sativa crossed with 25% Cannabis Indica. It is called Skunk because the grower who created and stabilized that F1 hybrid chose to title his hybrid "Skunk #1" (Probably because of the musky, skunky odor the ripening blooms produce). Orchid growers who produce hybrid strains always name their creations, why should producers of Cannabis flowers be any different? They employ the same botanical techniques to produce their hybrids as the orchid producers do! THC has been CONCLUSIVELY PROVEN to be about as "toxic" as Caffeine. The notable exception being that fully ripenend Cannabis flowers only contain about 14% to 16% THC, where a cup of coffee has a much higher ratio of Caffeine alkaloids. You HAVE been getting statistics from the "Just say No" people! They're selling you a bill of goods in furtherance of a political agenda, my dear MissFickle! The Cannabis commercially availalble today is marginally more potent than that available in the 1960's because of advances in hydroponic gardening techniques, but still it has only helped the plant reach its potential, it hasn't altered its potential. And just so you know, hydroponic gardening is used to grow food for more people all over the world than Cannabis (with the possible exception of Amsterdam, The Netherlands). It is a soilless gardening technique in which the natural outdoor environment is recreated indoors so to allow for a maximum amount of control over the gardening process. It helps food producers create new strains of fruits and vegetables, and some of the biggest juiciest tomatoes and lettuces you've ever eaten are grown hydroponically. The variety of "white wheat" that is used to make WhiteWheat breads was created in a hydroponic lab, so watch what you say about hydroponics! Hydroponics may just be our only salvation in a future where the surface of the Earth my be so compromised as to no longer support outdoor agriculture. Cannabis has been repeatedly shown to be no more physically addictive than caffeine and to have fewer side effects than caffeine. You really ought to update your knowledge before making such ridiculous statements, MissFickle! Hell, just pay a visit to Wikipedia and do a little fact-checking before posting and you will save yourself a lot of trouble. RMLP

• FaithMatters said on Aug 17, 2006....

  Yep - a tried and true eye-red college stoner, I was, mahn. Loooots of buuuuud - Oaxaca, Hydroponic, nasty Pico Boulevard dime bags, but best of all was the good old American Humbolt County green bud. I gave it up quite a few years ago, though. I was one of those who got real quiet and liked to munch out and watch TV. The last few times I didn't really enjoy it. I live in New York now and it really isn't the same as when I was hanging out Southern California, laying back in the sunshine with some good beer, great friends, and awesome bud. At this time in my life, it's a waste of time. I prefer to really be present, in the moment. The highest I get these days is when the choir has me soaring among the mosaics. Then of course there's the occasional single malt. But as to your question, I echo the Mighty Peter Tosh: "Legalize it!"

• purple said on Aug 17, 2006....

  No, never have, never will. Can't see the point. Life is hard enough. I actually try to eliminate my bad habits, not acquire new ones. Also, the US should start growing hemp again, as it's a renewable resource, grows like crazy here, and can be used for thousands of things from paper to rope. In fact, it was once illegal for a farmer not to grow a certain amount of hemp, because the navy used it to make sails. If memory serves me right, our money used to contain hemp. We need to educate the public that growing hemp is not the same as growing pot. Should it be legalized? Yes...it costs too much to keep people in jail for doing stupid things. And then we could grow hemp, because the police helicopters wouldn't get confused and think it was pot.

• happykat said on Aug 17, 2006....

  I've heard (not experienced) that some sellers lace their marijauna with other drugs. Maybe missfickle smoked some lacey stuff? THC is the chemical that binds to serotonin receptors in the brain. Chocolate behaves much the same way only in lower doses. It would take pounds upon pounds of chocolate to get the same high as cannabis, but it is possible. i think it should be legalized. Think of the tax revenue!!!And the court system and prison system! Oh, yeah...pass the bong. (just kidding....no smokey here)

• missfickle said on Aug 17, 2006....

  Oh I stand corrected, I must be wrong about the toxins. THC is one by product which I assure you is far more potent than caffiene, however you protect your vice as you will. My facts maybe a little bit off line, obviously I was fed the wrong information, however nurtients are still added to the water, I have watched it being done many times. I have helped crop it, and felt the resin stick to my fingers, I feel that any resin based product is addictive. That is my opinion and I stand by it. 'Do as tho wilt' is the whole of the law (Crowley 'from diary of a drug fiend) I agree in some ways it should be lagalised, because then its production would have to adhere to the same laws that govern, drug companies, it would have to be tested on animals, oh yeh and thats a great idea, testing it just so we can enjoy it. You are well informed RMLP, however you still have a lot to learn. Clarity comes through reality........xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  Pine trees are resin-based products, can you get addicted to them? Honeysuckles produce resins. Banana trees produce resin. Maple trees produce resin. Addicted to any good syrups? Honey is a resin produced by bees, ever heard of any honey addicts. But it's just a matter of me "protecting my vice", don't let anyone confuse YOU with the facts. RMLP

• secretlife said on Aug 17, 2006....

  I'm a child of the 70's. I'm pretty sure every kid smoked pot in those days. By the time I graduated from college, I'd stopped smoking it. Well mostly. I still took a hit if it was offered at a party or something. My husband, who just turned 50, loves to smoke pot. He rarely gets to these days, but when it's available, he is a happy camper. The reason I stopped was because it started to effect me like it did FaithMatters. I got quieter and quieter and then hungry as hell. It wasn't fun anymore. I like being in the present as well. But I did smoke again a few years ago and found that it made me relax and laugh alot. I say legalize it. I can't see it is any worse than alcohol and I'm sure there are 100 arguments why alcohol is worse.

• dubiousjayhawk said on Aug 17, 2006....

  I smoke sometimes... and its not a bad thing in my opinion, at all. As long as your whole life isn't while you're high. It should be legalized and taxed like hell.

• missfickle said on Aug 18, 2006....

  We dont know if pine trees are addictive cos we never smoke them, neither do we smoke honeysuckle. I have known people who have baked banana skins and got high, so there you go. Maybe you could try and let us know!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• missfickle said on Aug 18, 2006....

  By the way, where do you get your information. There have been many articles in the UK newspapers, re SKUNK and it's toxicity. The Daily Mail, The Times and The Guardian. We do have a problem in the UK, a huge problem. The British Medical Journal has reported the effects as well. If you want to find the facts you only have to look for them Just thought I'd add that cos, you seemed to try and redirect the argument, they say the best form of defense is attack. However for the sake of my children and my childrens children, I will keep on about this one. No hard feelings RMLP ---- but my partner is having a CT scan today cos of his problems, he has convinced himself he has brain damage, even though the psychiatrist has told him he's probably unwell due to the cannabis and alcohol! thats what happens after 23 years of use! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

• realmenluvporn said on Aug 18, 2006....

  Btw, I get my information from experience and research. As a seriously unclear and unreal vice-ridden pervert, I take particular joy in learning about the things that interest me (and I'm deftly terrified that I'm going to use them all up and soon nothing will ever interest me again). But there I go again, directing the argument. Perhaps there's this weird wormhole rift in time that makes everything in England the opposite of what it is from the rest of the world. I wouldn't know, I'm probably too stoned to actually think. My last joint was three days ago, and as you know once you get high on that stuff it takes weeks to come down. I saw that in the paper the other day. Wait, what language is this again? You're not the only one who's helped out in the grow room. Are you aware that those chemicals you see them putting into the reservoirs are the only nutrients the plants get? Those same chemicals grow food, so they're probably pretty darn safe for human consumption. But I don't want to step on any toes by sharing factual information. I'm sorrry... You were saying? RMLP

  I love that everyone has an opinion about this topic, one very close to my heart. I've been a dedicated smoker since I was about 18 years old.
  The whole gateway drug idea was put into people's minds by the do gooder Nancy Reagan wasn't it? Isn't she the reason we spend an assanine amount of tax dollars to incarcerate pot dealers?
  Gateway drug my ass, the choice to move on to harder drugs is not based on smoking a joint one day, that idea takes the responsibility away from the user and conveniently places it on the joint. If that were the case we could argue the same for alcohol and tobacco...both legal and far more deadly than pot.
  What any one person puts into their body should be a personal choice. If it doesn't hurt anyone why shouldn't it be legal for me to sit on my couch and smoke a doobie?
  

• yeahbutnobut said on Aug 19, 2006....

  No one has ever smoked bud, the king of smokes, and then in a fit of rage committed murder. And if America would stop listening to Government impropaganda about bud, and look at places like Holland and Denmark, there would be a lot more realism brought to the table of discussion.
  
  And MissFickle (ooh, what a name to give oneself) is not upto date with her version. No. I take that back. I think different people react to bud differently. But I have smoked intensely for periods of time, and I have also quit cold turkey each time, and the only think I say was that my pee was much clearer. I know many men and women who hit the pipe, and quit and none of them had what Msfickle describes.
  
  Thank god for that. I am fastidious about staying away from addicting things, except good intellectual stimulation. When I can find it, natch.

• yeahbutnobut said on Aug 21, 2006....

  Thanks for that info MissFick. On your squander point, since that is not all individs response to the bud, plus many people manage to squander their lives without the help of Lord Bud, so i can't quite do the lumping thing.
  
  By your kindness, I am not longer gonna say bud never had a hand in any death/violence mashup. But relative to other indulgences, I think it still looks pretty good.
  
  Like I said the Dutch and Danish model ought to be studied as opposed to many peeps ill informed and knee-jerk reaction to the mention of bud.
  
  I kinda wish Dubbie the Dunce woulda been a budhead.Mighta been one of your apathetic squanderers and that would have been buds great contribution to humanity.
  

• missfickle said on Aug 22, 2006....

  RMLP: you are there! Not just in my opinion, observations made by so many of us who have learnt the hard way.
  
  And adults would make different choices if they could go back in time. But I base my arguement on the things I have experienced within my community. I have lived in this community since the age of 27, before that I had never been exposed to dope of any kind. I had a different kind of clarity. It was my choice to take drugs, and it was my choice to stop, as it is everyones; however through exposing myself to the 'otherside' of our community I met many people who had been using since the ages of 14-15, some were fine, many were not, and oh how they wish they could turn back time.
  Again, use and not abuse is essential for anything we try in life.

  People have such strong beliefs about drugs. And it seems like more often than not, the people that speak the strongest against drugs are ex-users...er...or abusers perhaps?
  
  Truly, I'd much rather smoke a bowl than drink a beer; no calories, it won't give me a headache, and it enhances my creative nature.
  Not to mention its been a social ritual with my group of friends for years.
  
  I'm stoned right now.
  
  If you don't smoke it, I respect that.
  If you used to smoke it and you choose not to anymore, I respect that.
  
  Its not something I push on anyone, and when I do smoke, I'm considerate of those around me.
  
  To each his own correct? In the end its yourself you have to live with everyday...its yourself you have to keep happy. It's all about enjoying the ride.
  
  What I don't understand is people that try to push their beliefs on others, and have no real facts to back anything up.

  I feel that in some ways, some of what I've said has not been taken seriously, but I hope people understand, that I am only baseing my argument on experience and documented evidence that I have come accross in England. I have spoken to several Doctors at my local hospital who have told me their experience and it does seem that more and more people.......

  missfickle - Where do you get all this?! I have taken psychopharmacology courses, and your words make absolutely no sense to me. Why do you assume that any resin is addictive? It is such a bizarre opinion. Is myrrh addictive too? That comes from a gum resin. How about damar varnish? That's a resin. Why aren't people sniffing it more often? Eh, your comments make no sense. I think you don't know what you're talking about.
  
  As for your withdrawal symptoms, I've suffered same after my ex left me... call it "boyfriend withdrawal!" Physical effects like those can occur when one is suddenly faced with any kind of deep stress, in fact. And it is quite a leap to say that teenagers are institutionalized because of pot use, no matter what kind of pot it is. I have seen teenagers institutionalized for so-called "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" (read: rebelliousness) and then pot is blamed for their behaviour, simply because they happen to behave in a way not acceptable to adults, and they happen to smoke pot. So really, seriously, think about what you're writing. And read something a little more profound than tabloid papers.
  
  And regarding that "protecting your vices" remark. Nowadays, I smoke occasionally, but it's certainly no vice for me. I smoke maybe once every few months, which is about as often as I drink.
  
  Yes, of course it should be legal.
  
  Is it a gateway drug? No, it's ludicrous to think one drug can MAKE you take another. Drugs are inert, they can't make you do anything. I think the issue is simply personality type: either you like the effects of drugs in general or you don't. As a teenager I took a lot of different drugs, not because of pot, but simply because I was adventurous and liked to experiment. And no, I don't regret it one bit. I had a damn good time and a much more fun and enlightening adolescence than most, as a result!
  
  Also, heheheh I am always amused by those who precede their admission with that "I'm a child of the 70s" or "I'm a child of the 60s" remark... Obviously you guys must have no idea how seriously wasted kids got in the 90s... to the boomers, thanks for opening the doors of perception for us... >:)
  

• paigefiller said on Aug 30, 2006....

  Heh, StrangeOne you ROCK!
  
  Some people can keep drugs recreational, and some people can't. Having spent my 20's as quite the party girl, I know plenty of both kinds.
  
  I know myself to be an addictive personality, but I also had an upbringing that left me with both feet planted firmly on the ground. So while I tried lots of different drugs, I never let my love of anything besides alcohol be a reason for missing work or school.
  
  Life is about choices, we exist because of the choices we make. Some people look at drugs as a way to experience on a different level, an opportunity to expand and enhance their mind. Others look them as a gateway to a life of crime.
  
  So crazy that two different people standing on a street corner together could see something like smoking a joint so differently in terms of how it would affect their life.
  
  Just like there are assholes in every race, creed, and religion, there are also assholes who use drugs. And the fact of the matter is, a high concentration of assholes gravitate towards them. Understand, the drugs did not create the asshole, asshole behavior is already set in place, so you can't blame the weed just because the asshole smoked it.
  
  Surely the weed would much prefer to have been feeding an artists mind as it creates a work of art, or helping an athlete find the zone, or even allowing a musician to be swept away by their own performance. Because truly these are but a few of the positive abilities it posesses.
  
  Those jokers in the Caribbean totally have it right. Lay on white sand beaches, half submerged in crystal blue water, fruity drink in one hand, doobie in the other. It's too hot to do anything else...my sister lived there for 3 years...I love it down there.
  

• StrangeOne said on Aug 31, 2006....

  Hehehee thanks paigefiller, you rock too!! I'm with ya on all points. There are certainly some people who cannot handle drugs and should stay away from them. Eh god knows there are also plenty of people who should keep well away from alcohol, as well as casinos, shopping malls, hey even televisions and computers. (I should probably stay away from computers... :) )
  
  But the point is, people get addicted to lots of things and ruin their lives because of their addictions. For example, a lot of people point fingers at drugs as a cause of marriages breaking up, because one spouse had an addiction he/she couldn't control. We all know this happens often with alcohol as well. But I also know more than one couple who divorced because one spouse was addicted to online gaming! (ever hear of "Evercrack"? hahaa it's no joke). But are we to illegalize online games because some people can't control themselves? Of course not! So why punish responsible drug users because some people can't use drugs responsibly? Pyahhh it makes me mad.
  

• Apollo said on Sep 11, 2006....

  I have smoked it recreationally, it is not physically addictive but it can be emotionally addictive. And in excess it dose have permanent impairing effects.
  That being said, it should be legal and it can be enjoyed responsibly with minimal ill effects. It is no worse then alcohol and just as hard to police.

  I dont quite understand why missfickle thinks that the pot in the UK is anydifferent there than it is here. What are they putting in their water and feeding to their plants thats making people go out and stab people? I guess that must be an overseas thing cuz here int he U.S, when I get my bud, I know for a fact that it isnt laced with anything, How can there be when I have to take the absurd amount of time to pull the weed off the stems. I dont put anything in my weed. No one else I know does either, hell I have a hard time deciding wether or not I wanna get up and go pee when Im stoned, I cant imagine wanting to go through all that trouble of stabbing someone. Sounds like that kid was on some other kind of shit as well. I dont know any hardcore facts about pot, except its not addictive and it doesnt burn off brain cells as fast as people think. I may forget where I put papers but I still know what I learned in school.
  Hell yeah make it legal. Id smoke it all day. They can put they same laws on it as alcohol.
  I happen to like the resin , makes it hard to smoke a joint, better for a bong or pipe, but just as well gettin high is fun. If we all got high, there would be no wars, no conflicts and people would be alot easier to get along with.
  

• missfickle said on Oct 05, 2006....

  Missfickle, only reports facts that she has witnessed, within her own relationships, her working environment, and what medical journals are now researching.
  Skunk, can have anything added to it, if it is grown hydroponically. You don't have to be a horticulturlist to know how to do that.
  Christabell, I wonder how long you been smoking it for? I smoked it everyday for 7 years, it was only once I stopped smoking I became aware of just how fucked up my life had become.
  I am only offering my own experiences, you will have your own experiences, and I'm sure there are plenty of Americans who have been affected by it, they just don't blogg on soulcast.

  Sure, everyone has their experiences. But because a few people ruined their life with it, doesn't make it bad. People have ruined their lives shopping too much, doesn't mean department stores are evil!
  
  As for medical journals, they usually have an agenda. Follow the money trail. Who's paying for the research? It is amazing how much experimental results can be bent to meet experimenters' expectations, or financiers' demands. I studied scientific method and experimental technique in college, I know. I participated in research. I have seen how anything from experimenters' carelessness to personal desire for a particular effect have seriously skewed results. If the results look believable, they will pass peer review, and no one will be the wiser.

  Strangeone, I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying if you get a habit be aware of the dangers, nothing is bad in moderation, except cyanide!

  Ever since I quit smoking ciggarettes. I found Marijuana. Truly this is Pantagruelion described in Francois Rabelais' famous French Medieval Satire: the Adventures of Gargantua and Pantagruel.. this plant is amazing: not only does it create more healthy ozone..for our environment. god knows we need it. this plant will help feed the hungry. it will clothes all those who need cloth it has fiber for making all kinds of yarn and cords it's free it grows like a weed it's open source you can grow your own. oh yeah..it's medicine it's anti depressive it's best when grown out doors in full sunshine birds love it..they chirp a whole lot more..when you feed them the seeds. In summmary..this is not a drug. it's more like mother nature's cure all for all things. Well some people would do better to smoke less. (I agree..i know what you're thinking). yet somehow. it holds in it's humble disguise.. the answer to world peace. for if we all just stopped to contemplate our differences in the world over a joint. we just might agree!
