thus, I 'm wondering if the present restrictions on cannabis are because politicians who once smoked are REALLY FRIGHTENED anyone might find out and it will blow their 'respectable' cover?

and in regard to epiphanies and such ... seems to me cannabis allows a certain silencing of thought ... and that lateral thinking sometimes fills the silence.

I mean, have you noticed that there has to be silence before there is understanding?

or put another way: mental silence is necessary for understanding to blossom ... and cannabis contributes to silencing one's usual train of thoughts ...

anyway, that's how my process seems to work.

cheers ...

With 18 States and DC now allowing medical marijuana and 2 allowing recreational marijuana I'd have to disagree that nothing is changing. Maybe not as fast as we might like but it's changing. Besides, that flood is just now starting give it another 10 years and we'll see.

The message is simple: we live forever and we will never end; this is but one life in the cast of thousands we have already lived (hence the experience of deja vu being triggered by past life experiences being called forth) and the thousands and thousands and millions and millions we have yet to live - for this is an equation with an answer that each of us must solve. We decide when we have "had enough" or "want to rest" or "wish to continue".

World without end. Namaste. Numorea. Amen.

That reminds me of a story I saw mentioned here. I'm not sure if it was that person's own creation or if he was retelling something he himself saw somewhere. Basically it involved a man who I think encounters his maker and in talking with him comes to learn that we are all one being but living and reliving billions of lives all relatively simulatanoeously but from differing perspectives. That each of us is everyone else at a different simultaneous life. Also that the collective of all those lives at any given instant is god or what we call god.

I'll go a step further and propose that they could be deliberately "tweaking" history. Sort of like time shepherds.

I have a friend who is into a belief he's found on the internet that pertains to a guy claiming to have been visited by "aliens" who told him they are in fact time travelers from earth's future and they look different because of evolution and I think genetic modification too. The thing is though they (the aliens-time travelers) gave some predictions supposedly to establish they were telling the truth and those things have not happened let alone when they were supposed to have happened.

I just looked it up and if I found the same thing it turns out the guy supposedly contacted by the aliens actually recalled a movie that air 10 months prior to him being hypnotized. Then again maybe that's just the aliens-time travelers trying to debunk the story so that it being out on the internet doesn't ruin everything. Here's the link I found. Although I'm not sure if this is the same thing my friend is going by either.

My Deep Stoner Thought today was thinking about a seed, and how much potential is in something so tiny, but so strong it would grow in a basement under shitty lights, and outdoors could become a marijuana tree full of big juicy colas. That shit is really deep.

Yeah nature is really mind blowing in how it all works and also in how it all works together especially when you start considering the evolution of soil and the interactions of beneficial microbes and how that all comes together with sun rain and air to bring out the potential in that tiny seed.

In thinking about a perpetual cycle...I've wasted far too much time on the wrong kinds of plants...

I chased 8-9wk plants that could be harvested every month, ya know chop 1/2 every 4wks, or a 1/3 every 3wks.

And then I've realized...why not have a 3 section cycle in flower and hunt for a great 12 wk plant and chop 1/3 every 4wks.

This kind of obvious "duh" has really opened up the concept of WHAT I can actually grow productively. Not only that - that 12wk is entering to sativa hybrid land - where stretch is 2.5-3.5x in flower and REALLY nice nodal stacking takes place - and really big flowers can be made.

I think I've been growing the wrong pot for a great mono-crop plant...

Water... Is so universal. It is formless, shapeless, tasteless, pure. Can fit into any container, large or small. The tiniest capful could mean life in a desert and the vast amount of ice(water) in Siberia leads to its lack of life as well. Leaves are buoyant on the rivers edge, yet that same river can crack and erode at concrete dams.

Today I am reflecting on the benefits of hard work and true stoner engineering. I put a lot of effort into building the perfect stealth cab that could sit in the middle of all the action going on in my house and all the people coming and going and nobody has noticed the fact that a marijuana growing operating is being undertaken before their very eyes and within 3 feet of the couch where they sit and watch television.

Today I am reflecting on the fact that things are not always what they seem and that as I get older I guess I have picked up some wisdom as things that used to seem so doggone important - like getting my own way or what I have to eat for dinner - aren't the least bit important to me anymore. Today I am about the community and the congress of a marriage that has not been perfect but has now come into its own like a finely aged wine. It wasn't what I expected, but it was more than I could have imagined. Imagine that.

Today I am thinking there has to be a better way for everyone to work together, for the community of nations to thrive and for violence to come to an end as the means that nobody would ever really consider as they have realized that what they want is ephemoral and it can be had again and again and again - if not in this life, then in a life to come - and they can experience the joy of possessing something at the speed of their thoughts.

Seriously, I think today I need a drink.
