I don't know what this has to do with anything. I wanted to reach out and babble at someone.

No more potty for me. I do not have the hashylovin Marley-esque mystique anymore. & all the better to remember you with, my deary.

In general. Individual exceptions exist. It seems to me that should the ingestor use and abuse the reefer rather than woo and serenade the reefer they might find themselves caught in an icky and subtle trap. I've seen the stuff turn fizzling halfwits into dribbling nowits, as well as average cats into crazy amazing ninja cats.

I understand his point though, which I think stemmed more from a concern for the abuse of any consciousness-affecting plant medicine, rather than mary jane in particular. He of course comes from a culture where they consumed gallons of "canyon water" moonshine in their village rituals, but coming here has rendered that impossible, because our culture has an insane relationship with alcohol and any other intoxicating plant medicine. And I agree. I love Martín. Well.

I have one minor bone of contention to toss into the mix of all those things he said the other night. He spoke so warmly of the importance of diversity, then Martín insulted the lady cannibas - saying that the plant impeded conciousness and advising the audience to stay away. What of the Sikhs? The Hashishians? What of all the various artists and all the beautiful things they've created while lifted by the warm embrace of "dope"? Personally I feel, at times, lost and dejected without it's presence in my bloodstream, as if I have some sort of compact with the plant and it provides the fuel for my 'insparkedness'. Is Cannibas Sativa any less a shard of the divine than Corn? Like I said, a minor point. Not really worth vocalizing. &, He's the best. Martín is the best.
