| Hi everyone!
I have uploaded a new song and background. I will do so more often, I probably bore a lot of people with the same song on my page for six months in a row 
But, maybe this will make it up to you? This track is from a guy named Arturo Salas; a genius! This song, "Rencuentro" has inspired me and I think it's one of the most beautiful acoustic melodies I've ever heard. Also, the backround reflects my new theme. Season Six will be called "Romantic Solitude" and that will start sometime next year. Hopefully when I'm in California... for good, that is 
I got really sick in New York City, so I didn't get to do a whole lot. Los Angeles was great though! I got better at home, and the plane ride there was fine. Seriously people, Southwest airlines is the way to go! That's www.southwest.com incase you didn't know. Delta (to and from NYC-Kennedy since Southwest doesn't fly there) now has satelite TV for coach class. Except for cutting out every 30 seconds and then just dying on me as I forced myself to fane interest to "Beauty Shop" starring Queen Latifa (not her best...) the concept was nice  and the complimentary cranberry juice? Magnifico!  muah!
I stayed in Hollywood right on Hollywood Blvd. where the walk of fame is and if xanga wasn't so difficult I would upload my photos and make a slideshow like you can do on myspace very easily... but anyways... it was beautiful, people were friendly and social (unlike those uptight northwestern people I live with), there was LIFE, things to do, people to meet, always some form of stimulation. Which is pretty much what I need... I just need to figure out a way to move there... hah. God willing... 
More to write, but... my netflix just arrived and I just cannot wait any longer to watch it. Sorry! Anyways enjoy the music, send some love and I will return the favor

| Long time no posting! I have returned from beyond the grave  how is everyone?
Most people who know me would agree that I have a slight morbid fascination with the darkness that consumes our planet. I'm not into cutesy, cuddly or kawaii. Life is not a hallmark commercial. As much as I would love to entertain the fantasies of teddy bears and lollipops, I think it's a better use of my short time on Earth to live in the truth. The truth is, we inhabit an elusively mysterious planet that is full of life, beauty, passion, sadness, suffering, strife, anger, ecstacy, happiness, love, war, violence, tragedy and yes, horror.
I am a huge fan of the long-running show Unsolved Mysteries. Even though it freaks me out and has given me more nightmares than I'd like to admit, the engrossing enigmas that remain unsolved continue to entice me. Some are horrific. Some are tragic. Some are just human.
If you were a visitor from another planet and you were presented a postcard of sunny Florida would you see past the sunshine, the palm trees and the smiling retired senior citizens to a planet that is home to a race of beings who murder, extort and damage each other? The truth is, these incidents have wormed their way into our everyday lives. You see it on the news, in film, the paper... it's inescapable. I wanted to profile a few cases that to me, define the darkest aspects of human nature. Most of these are terrifying to say the least. As a caution to more sensitive readers, you're better off reading another blog if you're not in the mood to be disturbed.
1. The Black Dahlia Murder
I first heard about the Black Dahlia murder a few years ago when it was being discussed on a documentary. I didn't give it too much thought, upon my initial skimming of the full story it just sounded like another young girl who got involved with the wrong people and ended up dead and the killer was never captured. Wrong. So, so wrong.
Elizabeth Short was found severely mutilated in a vacant lot in Hollywood, California on a cold January morning in 1947. A housewife named Betty was taking her baby out for a stroll and noticed what she thought was a mannequin tossed to the side of the road. When she came closer, she realized this wasn't a mannequin but the corpse of a young girl who suffered probably one of the WORST deaths in the history of the human race.
Immediately the scene of the crime was flooded with journalists, reporters and police. A local paper dubbed her "the Black Dahlia" as a wordplay on a movie "The Blue Dahlia" which was being released around the same time. Elizabeth was an aspiring actress. Not much is known about her mostly because she never made it big and left her hometown to pursue an acting career. What we do know is that her career was going nowhere and she was running out of money and frequently moved. There was speculation she was a prostitute though that was never officially confirmed. She disappeared around a week before she was discovered.
I STRONGLY suggest you do NOT google "black dahlia" or "elizabeth short" because the first thing that will pop up is the infamous crime scene photos, which I don't think anyone would want to see. I unfortunately stumbled upon them and I was heartbroken, profoundly horrified and devastated. That was someones little girl. That was a living being. And what happened to her?
The official autopsy stated that Elizabeth had been dead for at least a day before she was discovered. When she was discovered, her body was cut in half, her throat had been violently slashed, she was gutted, drained of blood and positioned like a hit-and-run victim would be drawn on the pavement. The single most horrific detail was that whoever killed her had violently cut a clown-like smile in her beaten face that haunts anyone who has ever seen it. There were rope burns on her neck, arms and wrists and it was evident she was tortured for hours before she was killed. Whoever killed her didn't stop there. After she was severed and mutilated the killer obsessively washed her body, shampooed her hair, and meticulously arranged her in a sexually suggestive manner.
There were dozens of suspects and thousands of confessions. No one was ever arrested for her murder. The only lead the police had was a package the killer had sent to a local newspaper with Elizabeth's possessions, including the most interesting clue of all- her address book with a page torn from it. It is very likely that whoever killed her was someone she knew and was on that page. That's all that was ever discovered because whoever killed her was so elusive and smart that they got away with not only the most heinous crime against women, but persisted to taunt and harass police. This has gone down as Hollywood's most gruesome murder.
2. The Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run/Torso Slayer/Cleveland Torso Murderer
Strikingly similar to the black dahlia murder, a total of 14 victims were found through out the 1930's who were mutilated and murdered in a similar fashion to Elizabeth Short. Kingsbury Run is known to be a less-than-seemly neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. Prostitutes, drug addicts, thieves and homeless men and women populated the domesticated ravine. They would unfortunately become prey to the most diabolical and psychotic serial killer to ever walk to Earth.
I read about the torso slayer on accident when I was reading about Elizabeth Short's death. Some have suggested that they share the same killer, and that wouldn't be inaccurate to suggest whatsoever. The torso slayer would decapitate all of his victims, bisect their bodies and mutilate them in whatever way he would see fit. I don't want to get into too much detail because it is purely just malice and a deep-seated deranged hatred against others. I honestly couldn't believe what these victims suffered. The torture methods used were disturbingly unique and very intricately plotted out. It is obvious whoever the murderer was had extensive medical knowledge, was strong, smart and likely schizophrenic.
I am happy to say that I do know who the murderer is. It is heartbreaking though that he got off easy- no jail time whatsoever. Eliot Ness was working hard on the case and was tipped off about a man named Francis Sweeny. Francis seemed to fit the description of the "mad man who would roam the fields of Ohio wielding a butcher knife". He was a schizophrenic alcoholic that suffered a traumatic childhood and was known for experiencing periods of unexplainable rage. Ness and his team had to work in secret because Francis' cousin, Martin Sweeny, was a prominent politician. Publicly identifying Francis as the killer would have caused nothing but havoc, and Eliot knew that. What he did was hold a secluded interrogation at a nearby hotel.
As predicted, Francis failed the polygraph test and after psychiatric evaluation was deemed a "typical psychopath suffering from alcoholism and forms of schizophrenia". Ness had no doubt in his mind that Francis was the killer; he also had extensive information supporting his claim. Francis' childhood was rough, he was an underprivileged, neglected young boy who spent most of his time "playing" in the Kingsbury Run. He also was previously enrolled in medical school. If that's not enough information for you, then consider this. He knew he was an alcoholic and frequently checked in and out of psychiatric hospitals. His only alibi was that he was in treatment at the time of all the murders. But saying that pretty much convinced everyone he was without a doubt the killer. He would enter the hospital during detox voluntarily and was able to come and go as he pleased. It's very likely that he would sober up, go to the hospital, be okay for maybe a few days or so and then suffer withdrawal symptoms along with episodes of schizophrenic behavior and bouts of rage. That's all I needed to hear to know that Eliot was right. Francis was the torso slayer, there is no doubt in my mind.
How did he get off then? Well, easy. Seeing as though this was a secret interrogation, Eliot had to maintain a low-profile. After all the test were administered and the conclusion was drawn that Francis was the killer, Eliot entered the room with Francis for some final words.
Eliot mentioned he thought Francis was the killer, and immediately after he said that Francis turned to him. He was instantly terrified that this homicidal giant suddenly changed his demeanor from jocular to menacing. Ness says that Francis grossly psychologically intimidated Ness. He says that he was never more terrified in his entire career.
It is suggested that Ness worked out a deal with Francis and Martin. Francis would spend the rest of his life locked up in a psychiatric hospital. As predicted, the murders stopped instantaneously. What was unpredicted though, was that Francis had been sending Eliot harassing postcards. One suggested he might travel to California and "operate on some guinea pigs". This is why some people think that Francis may have also killed Elizabeth Short. He also meticulously cleaned each of his victims and mutilated them in similar ways.
3. The Allagash Abductions
Anyone framiliar with the Allagash incident is probably a believer of extraterrestrial life. I have recently been researching UFO's and this is by far one of the most compelling cases to date.
4 male friends decided to go to the Allagash river in Maine for a regular weekend camping trip. The four had a very normal trip until one night when they wanted to do some midnight fishing. Before they set off, they had lit a bonfire so they would be able to find their way back to shore. When they were almost a mile away from shore, they noticed a bright yellow object in the sky. One of them thought it would be a good idea to signal to it so he took out his flashlight and sent a S.O.S. signal.
Immediately the luminous object reacted and began to pursue them. Panicked, the four tried to make it back to shore but the object was much too fast for them. The ball of light was directly on top of them, and that was the last thing they remembered. Next thing they knew, they were positioned on shore almost like they were posing for a photograph. The glowing object then slowly disappeared into the night sky. The men felt exhausted and didn't talk about what happened. Instead they went straight to bed, but noticed that their large bonfire had been reduced to just coals which normally takes hours. Where did all this missing time go?
It took a number of years before one of the guys started to have reoccurring nightmares about aliens preforming humiliating and violating experiments on them. When one of them went to a psychologist who referred him to a hypnotherapist everything began to fall into prospective.
The aliens apparently were able to use telepathic mind-control on the men and made them willingly assist them in preforming medical experiments on them. The humans would obediently undress themselves and sit on a bench. Meanwhile, one at a time, the aliens would take samples of their blood, urine, skin and semen. They said that they would scrape their skin, draw blood, examine them with strange tubes and make them masturbate and collect their semen. Each of the men insisted they had no control over their bodies and were in pain, humiliated and scared out of their minds.
Each of the guys were put under hypnosis and each of them told an astonishingly similar account of what had happened that night. They easily passed polygraph tests and continued repeating the same unaltered account of what happened that night. They all agreed that they felt a purely malevolent force coming from the aliens. They described them as being around 4 feet tall, dark metallic eyes without eyelids, large craniums, long necks, and a somewhat humanoid body structure. It's one thing to not be alone in the universe, but if our company is what the men said they felt- pure evil, then I'd rather do without. There is enough evil on our planet as it is.
4. The Roswell UFO Coverup
Roswell, New Mexico went from being a small town to a media circus literally overnight. A farmer says he heard a loud boom one stormy night that didn't sound like thunder but produced a lot of light and destruction. The following day, he rode his horse to his fields and noticed a strange pile of metallic debris. He and his family and all the other people who were able to have eyewitness accounts of the strange material discovered at the crash site have described it as appearing to be stainless steal, but extremely durable, thin, and flame/damage resistant. On some pieces were what appeared to be Egyptian hieroglyphics. The farmer took some of the wreckage for personal inventory, which was good because immediately the military sealed off the area and confiscated the remnants of the evidence.
An actual UFO wasn't discovered until later that week when just around a mile away from the farmer's home a group of archeologists found what appeared to be a flying saucer. All the archeologists say that it had obviously crashed and was "not of Earthly origin". In a matter of seconds, military trucks sealed off the area and threatened the group to "not tell anyone" and that "they didn't see anything". The crew obediently left, but noticed that the military had not only taken the craft but what appeared to be 4 bodies. The bodies were each placed on a gurney and rushed out of sight.
The official report was that a weather balloon had been struck down by the storm. When a few eyewitnesses insisted they saw body-shaped objects being taken away, they replied they "were simply just test dummies". I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have bought that for a nanosecond. Out of all the excuses they could have come up with, we get a weather balloon with crash test dummies? I don't think so.
Further complicating things were more persistent eyewitnesses who insist an alien spacecraft had crashed in Roswell, New Mexico. Perhaps the most compelling case was a nurse who insisted she was asked to preform basic examination of the aliens. She described the aliens as typical "greys"- about 4 feet tall, dark metallic eyes, long necks and a somewhat humanoid appearance. Most skeptics would instantly dismiss this as a typical hoax based solely on the fact that these are very typical aliens you'd see in Sci-fi movies. However, consider this. The Roswell case happened in the late 1940's and the usual conception of aliens being what I described above didn't trickle into mainstream cinema and the media until years after this case. I believe that if there really were aliens that the government was adamant and covering this up for whatever reasons. The initial word of this case did send the nation into a panic, so it's not unreasonable to want some sort of order and it's a well-known fact that humans aren't the most rational beings, especially since we as a race are somewhat xenophobic.
The conspiracy doesn't stop here. I could continue writing for hours about all the factors of this very compelling case. It also is interesting to note that every eyewitness reported being harassed by government officials to remain silent or they would be executed. Can you imagine that? Being in a state of total confusion and having your life at stake by the very people who are supposed to protect you. As if they didn't raise any suspicion by their covert operations and civilian harassment, the completely ludicrous press releases raised more eyebrows and people began asking more and more questions.
The truth of the matter is, we will never know exactly what was recovered at the crash site. We will never know what happened to the eyewitnesses that "disappeared". We will never know what the intentions of the hypothetical aliens were, or their origin for that matter. But what we do know is that this is a very obvious conspiracy and that you can only trust the government as much as you can a balding 40-year-old man who patrols the streets in a blacked-out van. I vote on making tracks to Canada.
5. The REAL Men in Black
Remember that movie with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith? It is a spoof of the chronicles of a dancer named Collette who says she came in contact with some Men in Black and the experience was anything but funny.
Collette is one of the few people who have claimed to be abducted by aliens that has a credible story and has enough circumstantial evidence to indicate she's not crazy. I would like to say that I am not a UFO enthusiast; when I hear of people saying they've seen UFO's and have been abducted by aliens I will most likely write then off as a lunatic who needs to be medicated. There are a few cases that are just too compelling and believable to dismiss. I am one of those people who if I can see it I will believe it. I don't necessarily believe that aliens exist and they come visit us periodically and either end up crashing in the boonies or kidnap strangers and force them to masturbate on board. I look at this as an urban legend that has more credibility than most. In all of the UFO cases I have mentioned I am provisionally siding with the victims until I am given a reason otherwise. If there were some more concrete proof rather than a retelling of a hazy recollection I would completely without a doubt jump on the UFO bandwagon and demand the truth of what's going on with Area 51 and the Men in Black.
Collette says she was harassed by a tall, lanky, threatening man accompanied by an entourage of similarly dressed men in black suits, black sunglasses, the hats, everything. He told her she had a court date and handed her a notice. The strange thing was there was an official government stamp but the actual document was not a legitimate court notice. Collette went anyways, and the court date was as you may have predicted a simple "thanks for showing up, it was really not that important". Within minutes, Collette returned home to find her house had been ranshacked.
The next day, Collette says she was walking home when she saw one of the men casually walk by her. He did not need to say anything, he was silently intimidating Collette to remain silent. Collette says she felt all the hairs stand up on the back of her neck and felt an all-body chill that was stemmed from nothing but "pure evil" as she put it. She also said that when she got a closer look at the man he did not appear human in a way. He had no hair follicles, his skin was bleach white and looked almost silicone.
Some people think that the men in black might be aliens in disguise. Others think they're a top-secret government agency hired to silence the ones with the info. Either way, it's obvious something very sinister is going on and they don't want people to be talking about it.
6. The Mothman
In a small town in West Virginia, a couple was driving home and said they noticed a pair of hostile red eyes staring them down. Immediately, they said they were being pursued by the creature who had "hypnotic red eyes" and was incredibly fast and aggressive. They managed to escape unharmed.
The following night, a mother and her son said they were chased by a winged creature with those "hypnotic red eyes" who tried to kill them. The creature was described to be somewhat of a cross between an owl and a man. He did not appear to have a head, instead just two bright eyes on what appeared to be his chest, two long wings and a very ominous temperament.
Soon, dozens of people would report being attacked by this creature. It became a national controversy. Soon the town was flooded with journalists, Men in Black and military officials according to eyewitnesses. The mothman was last seen flying over a bridge which subsequentially collapsed, killing a few people. The people who say they have seen mothman insist he is a very angry, dangerous creature who will not hesitate to attack you. It is also suggested he is a "bringer of bad luck". The legend goes that the mothman is always seen before a catastrophe; some have reported seeing mothman before the terrorist attacks in 2001 on the World Trade Center.
There was never an isolated photograph of the creature. No one even knows if it's still alive. The last reported visitation was in early 2007. This will likely remain another of life's mysteries. Life's creepy mysteries. This was made into a movie in 2002 starring Richard Gere titled "The Mothman Prophecies". The town of Charleston, West Virginia insist their personal accounts are much scarier than the film ever was.
And there you have it. 6 reasons why I'm too freaked out to fall asleep. Oh well, it wouldn't be the first night I've been up until 5 AM silently panicking. Mother Earth has quite a few skeletons in her closet and they keep on piling up. Do I believe in evil? Absolutely. It's things like this that make me wish I had a ginzuishou...

| As a good friend of Mary Jane, I think it's time someone spoke in her defense. Mary Jane is probably one of the most understood, feared and unjustly hated things on Earth. Fear and ignorance alone have tarnished a good woman's name. I have a biased opinion as a friend of hers, but coming from a non-editorial stance I would like to at least explain a few common misconceptions about her.
First off, I am in no way advocating or condoning "drug use" if you want to call it that. I personally do not classify marijuana as a dangerous substance, which I will elaborate on later, but I want to make it clear that I am not writing trying to convince anyone to try, buy, sell or smoke marijuana. Okay?
Now let's take a look at the plant itself. Cannabis sativa is also known as the hemp plant. The cannabis plant is a fascinating and mysterious one, it is completely chemically and structurally unique and unlike any other organic substance on Earth. The plant is extremely versatile and has many uses- it can provide food, fuel, fiber... and fun. The hemp seed is the most digestible form of protein and is rich in essential fatty acids. The hemp fiber is over 4x stronger than tree fibers, hemp paper requires a fraction of the water, space and time that trees need. Hemp has been used for eras. The first books, legal documents and even bibles were made from hemp. It used to be the largest cash crop until the 30's when the name of marijuana became tarnished purely by big companies that want to retain their fortunes. If the cannabis plant was utilized to its full potential alcohol, gasoline, cotton, and several other industries would plummit in stock. Hemp oil can be used to make a biodegradable plastic. This alone could single handedly cut pollution by 80%.
The public service announcements in the 20's and 30's colored marijuana as a "dangerous narcotic" that was responsible for terrible acts of violence, loose morality, reckless behavior and indiscriminate sexual practices. People back then were so incredibly ignorant and never challenged authority- if it was in the papers, it was true. There has never been a record of a death caused by marijuana in the entire history of the human race (meanwhile alcohol and tobacco annually kill millions). One study says that you would have to smoke 15 pounds (equivalent to about 2 hefty bags FULL of marijuana- about $75,000 worth) in under 10 minutes to kill you which is just impossible.
The stereotypical pothead the media portrays operates similarly to a drunk- depressed and mopey, little to no motivation, self-loathing, physically and psychologically dependant on consumption... the list goes on. Marijuana has the potential to make people lazy, but the active chemical THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) has many medicinal uses ranging from treating athsma, depression, glaucoma, nausea, anxiety, anorexia, HIV/AIDS, cancer... the list goes on. THC also increases dopamine and serotonin synthesis which helps a variety of psychological issues and also helps boost creativity, overall sense of wellbeing, stable mood(s) and endorphin release to name a few. This is a healthy state of wellbeing, marijuana poses NO threat to the general public. Smoking a joint is not harmful to the human body or mind. Yes, smoke is generally not a good thing to inhale mostly because smoke is hot and if you hold it in, somewhat 'cooks' the lungs. This isn't anything to worry about because not only is marijuana smoke thin and thus easily absoarbed (not sticky and thick like tobacco) producing little pleghm AND the lungs are also the fastest regenerating organ in the body.
I smoke pot daily. On several occasions actually. Sometimes I even smoke more than 15 times a day. I have personally never had a bad experience on pot. The high it produces is calming, energetic, peaceful, clear, soothing, comforting, therapeutic and above all else just harmless fun. If you've never smoked pot what you can expect is the comfort of feeling like you're in a hot tub, a healthy appetite, a fresh outlook on life (everything seems new and exciting) and just an overall great mood. Pot does not make you stupid, psychotic or any of those other things you've heard. Yes, when you are high you might feel mentally dulled down, most of the time it depends on the strain you get. Some, actually most strains actually heighten your senses and mental acuity. I have written some great papers for school on pot. I have thought of inventions I wouldn't have even dreamed about on pot. In truth, I have never regretted smoking (other than spending a lot of money haha) at any time, this is the one "drug" if you want to call it that, that has NO negative repercussions, except possibly paranoia, which in my many years of smoking I have yet to experience.
Alcohol and tobacco are dangerous and addicting substances. There is no such thing as 'marijuana addiction', the body does not become dependent on smoking pot. Anything can produce a psychological addiction, from jogging to chocolate bars. That is more dependent on the person, though. Other drugs marijuana is wrongly put in the same category as (cocaine, ecstacy, LSD, opiates, ect.) actually ruin lives and the human body. When people compare pot to things like cocaine it makes me laugh more than anything. Cocaine and all those other drugs KILL, ruin lives, start antisocial behaviors and lead to many negative consequences. You never hear about a father of 4 loosing his job and pawning off his wedding china just for his next joint. People who become addicted to heroin, meth, cocaine and other dangerous substances find themselves in desperate situations. No one has died for my weed. It is generally now grown indoors under halogen lamps in clay soil harming no one.
I will very possibly continue to smoke pot for the rest of my life. I am not encouraging anyone else to, however. I offer it to some friends and if they decline I won't bring it up again. If anything, marijuana is pretty much a godsend for me. I have suffered from major disabling depression my entire life and have tried everything from Paxil to Wellbutrin and nothing has made the desired effect that marijuana has. Marijuana has literally given me a second chance and a new prospective on life. The only harm it has caused me is only attributed to my paycheck, but hey, nothing's free. I would much rather spend $40 on an 1/8 oz. than $35 for a decent 1/5 of vodka and later puke my brains out and wake up the next morning hearing I did something stupid. Or $6.50 for a pack of cigarettes filled with thousands of additives for just a small buzz that goes away in what, 2 minutes?
Pot has not affected my life negatively in any way. I wake up at 10, eat breakfast, text my friends, hang out with my siblings, cook dinner for the family, play with my cat, go out, shop, and basically lead a normal everyday life. Sure, sometimes... well, okay, usually I head out after a bonghit but life's pretty much the same for me as it is for everyone else. I just find more to giggle about and brighten my mood. I used to think marijuana was a terrible psychedelic drug that made people hallucinate pink elephants were roaming around and made you so fucked up you couldn't even think straight. I didn't start smoking until I was 14 but when I tried it I saw how much I was deceived and how harmless and truthfully enlightening it was. I could feel my mind opening up and ideas and my creative energy flowed immensely. Of course, I got really bad munchies, but that frozen red baron pizza (which would gross me out if I didn't smoke) was the best thing I've eaten in ages. The nausea I have from my daily medication has subsided and I can now enjoy food again. I can even enjoy schoolwork. Everything is exciting to me now.
For the people who are cautious and maybe interested in trying pot for the first time I would just suggest you do it with someone you feel comfortable with ONLY if you actually want to smoke. I would suggest not being afraid of having an abnormal experience. The worst thing that has ever happened on pot that I've heard of is paranoia, but usually you don't get paranoid unless you're anxious already.
As far as my preferences go, bongs are a great smoking tool as long as you rinse it out daily. The best kind of weed is green with lots of red hairs and crystals. Sticky, pungent, dense buds are always good to come by. Some people complain about the taste of marijuana, which I did too at first. I only didn't like smoking because I thought it tasted bad, but overtime I've actually grown to like the taste quite a bit. The better marijuana you get usually has a sweeter flavor. Some strains like purple haze, grape ape, blueberry bud, fruity thai and northern lights actually taste pretty damn good. The fruity strains actually do taste sweet. Some very strong strains like kush and skunk have a strong earthy taste that resembles shitake mushrooms. Generally the stronger the smell, the stronger the bud. You can always find some high quality ones by asking for "dank". Most local dealers usually don't know strains by names, but if you can get a hold of them you won't want to go back to anything else. Fortunately, being in Seattle, I have access to Northwest bud, some of the best in the world.
The best strains are definitely the purple ones. Usually you can get a dub for $20 (weighs about 1.5-1.8 grams) which is enough to get you stoned several times. Marijuana isn't too expensive and is totally worth it. At least in my opinion.
My only 'scary' experience on weed was when after I smoked I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and my cat just got using the catbox and after he was leaving, I tripped over him and hit my head on the shower head. The strange thing was, I was unconscious but I could still think. After I woke up, I was just happy I didn't feel the bruise on my head. Thank you, Mary Jane!
Again, I am not posting to be a pro-drug (if you still want to classify marijuana as a drug and put it in the same category as meth, heroin, crack, cocaine and others) mostly just to clear the air. Marijuana has never harmed a human, and never will. It comes from an extremely useful and versatile plant that could save our economy, end world hunger, and sure as hell calm a few people down. If we distributed hemp foods, the nutrition it provides could save many impoverished villages in Africa. If we started using hemp to make paper and fiber for clothing, we could save millions of gallons of water a year on trees and cotton plants. Medical marijuana could save thousands of cancer patients who are now being pumped with dozens of harsh chemicals every chemo session. Industrializing hemp would instantly create millions of new jobs. Nothing but good would come from legalizing hemp.
The cannabis plant is amazing to say the least. It is physically unlike any other plant on Earth. It is the only plant where there is an actual difference between the female and male plant. The male plant makes great fiber and food, whereas the female is the one that produces the flowering bud that I, along with millions of other people, love to smoke. THC is actually the plants natural pesticide, it protects the plant against herbivores, insects and other biological enemies. Strangely, this plants natural defense mechanism also provides great medicinal purposes.
The only reason hemp remains illegal is because the gas companies along with the oil, alcohol, tobacco and many other pharmacal companies along with other big factories pumping toxic shit into the air want to remain on top and they do that by spreading ignorance and untrue statements about the cannabis plant. Did you know that tobacco and alcohol companies sponser the DARE and other anti-drug organizations? The truth of the matter is, if everyone knew all the good the cannabis plant has to offer it would bring about a new industrial revolution, something BILLIONAIRES don't want to happen because they want all the revenue for themselves.
With that being said, whatever your opinion on marijuana is, you should at least be informed that it is a pretty harmless little weed that just manages to survive just as we are. And like I said before, Mary Jane has never killed anyone. Try arguing this with alcohol, which if you ask me, given its availability and influence causes way more damage than a joint ever could. | | |
