Study: Marijuana potency increases in 2007

[Majadi]

Exactly, I would do it for recreation and meditation as the old Shaman used to but who the hell has time for recreation in the middle of warfare?

[Sourakhata]

I don't know if marijuana is revolutionary or not but I agree with you about the imperative need to stem the culture of drugs usage among your people & your children even marijuana cause it weakens & destroy us.
But for the sake of precision Afrikans have all over the continent been using drugs for ages for spiritual & social interractions, take kat or cola nut among many others..!

[It's Not All Good Now]

Shaka Zulu used a marijuana concoction on his army.
One of the most renown armies of the continent.

there are other citings of warriors on pot but you don't care about that, I know.
Marijuana, I assure you, is not , I repeat, not a drug.
crack and cocaine, alchohol and other drugs are drugs.
Marijuana is a plant.

You are trapped in a state of mind that you don't even recognize as enslaved.
I can dig it though.

[Sourakhata]

I'd like to know who's enslaved to what precisely? Would you mind explaining?

Marijuana is a plant. So is coca. Poison ivy is a plant too. What's your point? Drugs are extracted from plants. The fact that people smoke marijuana to accelerate getting THC into the bloodstream is because they want the effect of the active ingredient, WHICH MOST PEOPLE RECOGNIZE IS A DRUG.
You dont think its a drug, because you have classic marijuana based dissonance. I can dig it, tho.

What you sed, good sista. Nobody in their right mind can name any drug from caffeine to the most powerful opiates or whatever, which does not have side effects. What are the side effects of weed? Obviously, the smoker doesn't kno. To say that someone who gets goofed on weed is already messed up may be one side of a coin. Weeds defenders have only one person who claims that it was used by traditional African warriors. It was used in a "concoction", most likely to get fighters psyched up for battle. In that case, we might also use a concoction of crack or methamphetamine. That doesnt sound cool, does it? No, because it aint cool.

If weed is a mind altering substance, and you are introducting it to your body, the idea that "Some people are not strong enough" makes it appear as if smoking marijuana is some kind of manhood test or sumpin...
The fact that you are defending a substance, a plant, that you have not even bothered to say that weed may have medicinal uses (it does) but just the jackanape activity of smoking it qualifies and validates it, tells quite a bit about your own character, African.

Thank you.
I can see how I am all wrong.
You are absolutely correct.

Oh, character assasination!
I love it.
Besides, for a slaveminded individual, a little "mind altering substance" might be just the thing to keep them un-enslaved.
So there!

[Sourakhata]

The sterile & barren judgment you constantly make on people tells a lot about your own character, Afrikan...! You're my elder so you got my unconditional respect & will never take the liberty to talk to you as you do..!
If elders ain't leading by examples anymore, what are we gonna do?

"It's All Good", you should apply to yourself the advice you so diligently give to people.
As an elder, you are expected to display more wisdom & less childish provocation..!
We are more in need of your long experience that life has blessed you with than your empty rhetoric & your fruitless sarcasms.

Sometimes being "correct" aint everything to having a right view. I aint condemning weed smoking (sure looks that way, don't it) but lets just say I gots a lil insight. But whats good for the goose aint always the ganders thing.

[FlyInUpOuttaHere]

I heard that there are scriptures in the bible that say you're spos to eat weed and not smoke it.

Boy....

Bare Alms-House on this thread!!

I feel to clear up a misconception about Ganja stiiiiiill..

There is a difference between natural strains of ganja grown in the soil in the sunshine and skunk hybrids grown under artificial lights with chemical nutrients.

Natural Ganja has many positive uses which is why the governments are trying to make only resins and skunk hybrids available to people usually grown with poisenous chemicals.

They are using that tactic where they confuse people to think that they are using Ganja when more time they are smoking some messed up poisenous sh**. They done the same thing with many religions as im sure u all know. Taking something good and making it bad so that even people with the best intentions end up doing something wrong in ignorance.

Anyway i aint here to preach my views but please if you bun weed make sure you are bunin Ital weed - True Hi-grade not skunk or resin.. And dont put tobacco in there...

And sis Josie - u aint missing out on nothing. No High can compare with the Natural High of having a clean healthy body and mind. Allow resin- people stretch out the ganja by adding a lot of sh** to it to make more money. Unless u make it yourself u cant be sure what it is.

I agree with what Langalibalele said about drugs but i know that smoking Ital herb can be beneficial if u use it wisely with a positive intention- not just to escape reality. And i can only speak for people who have healthy, clean bodies free of poisens and toxins and have a clean spiritual energy (qi or Ra or whatever u call it) and take regular excercise and eat properly.

For most people i would reccomend they leave it alone and dont jump in the water if they dont know how to swim.

But on another level..

If you boil a little herb gently for 15mins and drink it in a tea it is healing for many different ailments - muscular pains, inflammation, chest problems, asthma, influenza etc etc - u all know the Peter Tosh song right? This wont make u high and i reccomend it to all to have a cup every couple of months or so.

What other than another ganja plant could they HYBRID with, explain the difference between that of a NATURAL plant & that of a HYBRID plant?



SOMA Seeds (not affliated or promoting- a Rastaman's take on the/his business)

(From His Website)
Soma is a 55-year-old Rastafarian who is spiritually dedicated to the sacred cannabis plant. He has been working with the plant for 37 years. He wears pants and shirts made out of it, smokes it constantly; he has a prescription for 10 grams a day, and studies every aspect of the marijuana phenomenon.

He feels that it is one of the tools that can save humanity from its direction of self-destruction. He knows that it helps healing take place whenever and wherever it is used. Unlike aspirin, alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and nuclear radiation, cannabis has never killed anyone. It is one of the safest therapeutic substances known to man. Humankind has been using it since time immemorial.

It is one of the best paper sources in the whole wide world, it can be recycled 7 times, takes one fifth of the pollution to manufacture than tree paper, and could be a totally renewable source of Bio-fuel. Hempseed is one of the best sources of vegetable protein available on planet earth and 55% of a mature cannabis plant is seeds.

The only problem is the art of cannabis has been recently lost to mankind, it has been lied about, it has been suppressed, it has come close to genocide and the fear factor for this safest of substances has been blown totally out of proportion. Soma Seeds plans on changing the direction a few things are going these days. First of all Soma Seeds is an earth friendly business striving to think of earth first in the business that we create. We grow our seeds biologically; we let our hearts guide us with the plants, not calendars, not money, not power trips, but sacredness, a vibration of mutual trust, an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, a friendship. Soma Seeds focus's on the medicinal

side of cannabis, constantly striving to find better and better genetics to be used in a medicinal way. Medicinal cannabis has to be grown in a manner where the end product is truly going to make the patient feel better, not full of pesticides, poisons, and money vibes.

I assure you, any "advice" that I give to people is used by me.
If you are not enamoured with my "rhetoric", I can dig it, If you think that my comments are "childish", 'provocative' or even fruitless, I can dig that also.
But, I assure you someone, other than me of course, does not.
I write for them, and apparentlly not for you.
