My boyfriend sent this to us last week and Rain loved it, and sent it out
to everyone she knew :) I also thought it would be much more fun after
ingesting certain substances...

I can't believe I just spent 10 minutes on that site and my kids are
asleep. Yep, you have to wonder who wrote it and what they were on.
Those bellies moving, too funny.

Hey everyone!!!

Ditto, I just kept clicking away and dh walked in and said, "What are you
doing?" I said, "Playing with this psychadelic site from some other
unschoolers." He started cracking up and said, "So you AREN"T the only
hippy?" Well duh....

It was fun!!!

Rhonda - who happens to look nothing like a hippy with the exception of hair
down to butt, no makeup wearing, lives in sweats and tshirts, and walks in
sandals while wearing socks. I swear I don't look like a hippy, even if I
often think like one. I like to consider myself eccentric.

I'm sorry, but if you saw me now, I'm laughing out loud, my children are
asleep next to me so I'm trying to be quiet but at the same time, but
still, I'm picturing your husband saying "so you AREN'T the only hippy?"
Uh, duh, of course not.

I should say for the record, I've never dropped acid. But I could talk
aobut shrooms.

I wear jeans for the same reason. I put my cards in one pouch and my cash W/ receipts. The pouch is attached by cords to my belt or belt loops. I've lost money that crept out. This way, there's no creeping!

Hi,
I took acid; heck i dropped acid before it was illegal! Pot - last time I smoked was.....
well, I forget.
Personally I like drugs. I esp. like pot. Much safer & saner than alcohol.

Oh, I confess. For all my bravado, I've never done acid either. Or shrooms.
Tried pot once after college and almost choked on the smoke. And I went to a
hippy college where there were plenty of drugs.

In Junior high I even tried to start an anti-drug group. Someone once
described me as being like "Someone who'd Lost a Friend to drugs." (This was
not said in a loving, compassionate tone.) My goodness, what a good girl I
was!

Now, of course, I see the anti-pot commercials on tv (Gee...who
knew...marijauna will make your 14 year old get pregnant!) and see the
results of the "drug war," and I've lightened up considerably. Everytime I
see one of them I just want to offer my kid a joint.

(No, not really, in case you managed to miss that I'm kidding. Put the phone
down. Calling Child Protective will really not help anything.)

I could be wrong, but I think it's "National Organization for the Reform of
Marijuana Laws."

Marji, who really enjoys pot but only gets to do it once ever 8 years or
so; I believe I'm due. I'd probably do it more often, but I can't afford
it! Probably just as well!

National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws is right :)

"NORML Mission Statement:
NORML's mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to achieve the repeal
of marijuana prohibition so that the responsible use of cannabis by adults
is no longer subject to penalty"

(I just happen to have their brochure sitting here in front of me!)

We have "Thank you for Pot Smoking"

We also have a t-shirt...about Texas Home Grown Dope.

While won't speak to harder drugs, but personally I think the only thing
wrong with pot is that it's illegal. ANy behavior can be taken
overboard. For instance, those parents in San Diego who were partner
switching, driniking and smoking and their daughter was taken and
killed. I was surprised they didn't get charged with at least
endangerment. I think their choice to not make sure their children were
safe (ie, at another house where adults were not altered) set it up so
their daughter was taken--and the man that took and killed her certainly
KNEW that the child was easy to take...

I think that parents need to put aside their needs for their children's
need to be safe, or they need to make sure their chidlren are safe if
they are going to do something risky like breaking the law, even though
pot should nto be illegal.

For instance, if I was going to have an all out party where people would
get drunk and such, I would have my kids spend the night elsewhere.

Another side of "pot" is hemp.
Hemp does not make you high, uses much less land & water to be cultivated, costs less to be cultivated, was actively promoted & used by the US until the lobbyists got it banned.

Yeah, but why? I understand that it was newspaper magnate Randolph Hearst
who spearheaded the lobbying effort to get hemp banned because it was a
direct threat to his paper business. I understand he had purchased great
tracts of forest in the northwest for paper production, and cheaper, more
efficient hemp would have messed him up. I also believe that he was the guy
who produced the film "Reefer Madness," which, despite it's pop culture
appeal today, was produced as anti-marijuana/hemp propaganda, which helped
propel his anti-hemp lobbying efforts.

Correct me, please, if I'm wrong about any of this. I remember hearing
this quite a while ago.

Marji,
Yes, it was/is as you say. Money closed down the hemp business and money keeps it closed.

Look at this war on drugs - how stupid can one bunch of people get??

There've been so much poison sprayed on the coke & pot plants that the children in the neighboring villages are dying.

This is necessary - why??

How many better ways can we come up with to spend the "war on drugs' money.

Think about this;
here in New England services are shutting down. Rape Crises Centers; Drug Rehabs; Counseling Services, etc.
Those people will start to commit crimes or worse.

Then what??
We build more prisons?

Yes, more prisons. That supply-side economics, all right. Support the
prison-industrial complex, modern-day chain-gangs. Here's a good article
about this: http://www.ncianet.org/pic.html

You can find more links by googling "prison industrial complex."

You were saying about "a sad, sick place"?

That was part of how marijuana originally got made illegal. There was also
influence from the alcohol folks, and there was a certain amount of racism
involved. At that time, the majority of marijuana users were either black
or chicano.

This recent banning of hemp was just that, hemp, with a few parts per
million of THC but all kinds of other good, healthy stuff. There's a whole
hemp industry up here in Canada producing edible oil products skin products,
fiber for clothing, etc. That's just been banned in your country.

> >Sad, sick place we live in.

Yes. Wasn't it Einstein who said something like if what you're doing to
solve a problem doesn't work, it won't help to try more of the same? (badly
paraphrased) It seems to me that every time they crank the drug war up a
notch, drug use increases. If what they really wanted to do was stop the
*drug problem* they'd be re-thinking their approach and trying something
different. It's pretty obvious that the problem is getting worse rather
than better, so you wonder just what the *real* reasons for the war on drugs
are. And now they're threatening us with all kinds of border and trade
problems because Canada is going to decriminalize pot possession. It's
getting scary living next door to the only "superpower" in the world.

So if a politician says "I don't recall whether I inhaled...."
