Recently I had dinner with Keith Stroup, executive director of NORML. He has been in the struggle to decriminalize marijuana for a long time, so I felt encouraged to see him in such an optimistic mood. Although medical marijuana is still in heavy battle mode, Stroup is now girding his legal loins to fight for recreational use.
“Look at the size of that thing, I must be hallucinating,” said Tim as he stared in awe at the huge six-inch diameter flower top. “What did you put in this joint to make me see things twice as big as life? I mean, that is the biggest bud I’ve ever seen!” “We call her Big Bud.”
The plants have ripened in the late autumn sun. Starting with the first stage of pubescence, a few brave hairs grew at the nodes. Ten days later the pistils had grown enough to outline the future bud. Still white and fresh, with a tinge of red or purple, the flowers stood in a vain search for pollen.
Dive into these first-hand accounts of smuggling hash across Europe and Asia, a nod to an era long since passed.

Medical marijuana is legally available to only nine people nationwide. The Compassionate Investigational New Drug (IND) program which supplies government marijuana to those nine is jointly administered by the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Public Health Service (PHS)—which shut down expansion of the program two years ago, claiming that it sent a “bad signal” to the American public.
Frankly, we don’t give a damn about the President’s sex life. What we do care about is that during President Clinton’s time in office, marijuana busts have almost doubled. A new federal prison opens almost every month, as the river of convicted pot-growers and low-level crack dealers overflows the old facilities.
Jack Herer’s landmark book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, shows how anti-marijuana laws—ostensibly passed in order to suppress the supposedly insolent, criminal behavior of Africanand Mexican-Americans, and in response to alleged criminal violence and drug-induced insanity by its users—were actually a giant red herring aimed at removing the hemp plant’s resurgence as an agricultural competitor to the emerging petrochemical industry (due to breakthrough decorticating and harvesting technologies) by a few powerful companies.
The next consideration is proper soil. In a natural environment coca does best in the limestone-free red clay common to the Andes; under artificial conditions a limestone-free mixture of leaf mold and sand affording good drainage is preferable (according to Angelo Mariani, inventor of Vin Mariani, the coca-based wine beloved by, among other notables, Thomas Edison, Jules Verne, William McKinley, Pope Leo XIII and the Grand Rabbi of France.
This Man Is Seeing God and God says he smokes only the best. This man is Bob Marley and he smokes with God.
Politicians and pot. Putting the two together seems like an insult to pot. If it weren’t for politicians, pot would be legal. It’s almost impossible to find a mainstream politician who will even discuss marijuana decriminalization. But lurking in the closets of many of those self-righteous politicians are some pretty stinky, resin-stained skeletons.
Narcs are everywhere. Little is known about their methods because narcs don’t talk about their work, which consists of making other people talk to them. For some reason, a senior narcotics officer recently decided to tell it all to High Times.

The Wisdom of Oz: Green Grass, White Powder & Black Sabbath by Chris Simunek When you look back at the history of rock’n’roll, it is almost exclusively populated by people from two categories: For the latter part of the ’70s and all of the ’80s, Ozzy Osbourne was the Chairman of the Board for category number two.
