ReplyDeleteAs anyone who isn't smoking crack has already figured out (and even a few who are, America's drug policy is a scandalous failure. Not only has the so-called "War on Drugs" utterly failed to stop the flow of recreational drugs in America, it has criminalized struggling farmers who seek to grow industrial hemp as a profitable, renewable crop that's in high demand across multiple industries.
The War on Drugs has accomplished one thing, though: It has filled the nation's prisons with small-time "offenders" who got caught with an ounce or two of weed in their pockets. America's drug policy, it seems, is a boon for the prison industry, but a curse upon our nation's farmers.
I once lived near a rope maker and in that location the smell of hemp seemed cleansing.
ReplyDeleteO nice read I copied that page, well we both know some one Anna who would like to read this hey, when she's finished moving perhaps
ReplyDeleteThank you Anna
Good morning Bill;
ReplyDeleteI have neither smoked nor ingested marijuana since I was in High School (or shortly thereafter).
But know this- I always loved the smell of it. And to this day, walking through a crowd, and to get a whiff of it still makes me smile.
It is a nice aroma.
But, I also believe that in those days- (and I am talking about 30+ years ago), the marijuana we smoked at lunch on the high school grounds was plain old pot. Home grown, and clean.
I don't think the same can be said about todays market.
XOXO
Me
In addition, this is the foremost and most comprehensive listing I would find anywhere.

ReplyDeleteI thought that maybe you would appreciate it Mr. Lester.
There is much information available to those who wish to know.
Unfortunately our Sweet Suzy lives in my state- There are no regulatory laws on the books yet to ensure that we get treated for pain- or for anything else this drug might correct.

I have to agree. I haven't smoked pot in well over 25 years but I still like the smell of it. And I despise the smell of burning tobacco.

ReplyDeleteI have just now realized that [some] comments are cut off from what was originally written.
I will be checking to see if some other 'memorable' items may also not have made the journey in one piece.
