Tom Angell, media relations director for LEAP, just finished an in-depth interview with me inside the Opium Den. We discussed, among other things, Webb’s bill and Grassley’s attempt to neuter it. It should be available for download from Opium Den archives some time tomorrow.

I invite everyone to check it out.

I just completed an interview with Tom Angell, media relations director for LEAP, where we discussed Webb’s bill and Grassley’s attempt to neuter it. Tom had some very interesting things to say on that subject, as he did on many others. I’ll have the interview posted this time tomorrow in the Opium Den archives, and encourage everyone to give it a listen. And if you have any comments, please feel free to post them.

It thoroughly covers the Medicinal and Nutritional Uses of Cannabis Sativa.

Twelve years ago today, three tiny hemp plants were raided from my beautiful hobby greenhouse which was brilliantly filled with warmth and joyous color.

My true goal was to have tomatoes protected and still ripening during Christmas season. Although that freedom was also taken from me within the ‘war’ zone of destruction, the Spirit of Desire still thrives.

MARIJUANA REVOLUTION by John Sinclair This essay was first published in pamphlet form in 1971 by the Rainbow People’s Party of Ann Arbor, Michigan. It might seem strange to a lot of people to spend so much time and energy — and so many pages — on the subject of marijuana, which is after all only an innocuous naturally-occurring weed that people smoke to get high. But what’s even stranger is that an increasingly frightening number of people are being ordered to spend inconsiderable amounts of time (9½ to 10 years in my case) in penitentiaries and prisons simply for smoking this weed in America these days. People who do smoke marijuana are probably pretty much aware of the things I want to say in this article, but for those who can’t understand what all the commotion is about, maybe my remarks will be helpful. continued... The Great Marijuana Hoax by Allen Ginsberg 7:38 P.M. Nov. 13, 1965 San Francisco, California, USA, Kosmos How much to be revealed about marijuana especially in this time and nation for the general public! for the actual experience of the smoked herb has been completely clouded by a fog of dirty language by the diminishing crowd of fakers who have not had the experience and yet insist on being centers of propaganda about the experience. And the key, the paradoxical key to this bizarre impasse of awareness is precisely that the marijuana consciousness is one that, ever so gently, shifts the center of attention from habitual shallow purely verbal guidelines and repetitive secondhand ideological interpretations of experience to more direct, slower, absorbing, occasionally microscopically minute engagement with sensing phenomena during the high moments or hours after one has smoked. contnued... Nixon Tapes Reveal Twisted Roots Of Marijuana Prohibition The Connoissuer's Handbook of Marijuana by William Daniel Drake First License Issued To Montana Hemp Farmer October 29th, 2009 Liz Posted in Family Farms, Peace Montana has issued its first license for an industrial hemp-growing operation, setting up a possible test case of whether the Drug Enforcement Administration is willing to override a state law allowing propagation of the plant.

The CSA is a damned lie as long as Cannabis is in Schedule I “by any measure of rational analysis”.

CSA is a despicable fraud as long as Cannabis is ANYWHERE in it and tobacco isn’t.

It helps if you already signed the Petition for Support of Senator Webb’s Blue Ribbon Commission at Leap.cc.

It really bugs me that something like this can occur in Congress without any notice to Americans and the vote can go though on it at such a short notice. I’m really getting sick of the way Congress screws the American people behind their backs.

We have to PUT A STOP TO GRASSLEY’S GHASTLY FASCIST ACTIVITIES ASAP!!!!!!!!!!

I wrote a letter full of verve and rhetoric on that form, only DATABASE ERROR.

I’m too bummed to rewrite it right now. Perhaps later.

Does anyone know where we can get the address of our representative in the judiciary committee? I have no idea… and it makes it easier than getting database errors.

That’s just depressing. Even more depressing is that we all know it will pass – with bipartisan support – and the mainstream media won’t mention a word about it.

@ Chris,

I received the error too until I changed the e-mail I had listed to the one I used when I signed up for membership on the LEAP website. If you don’t have an account at LEAP, create one and try again.

What the hell !! I’m so glad Grassley isnt running again!

If they do this,then whats the point of this commission.Its like their hands are tied. Do the reaserch but cant talk about it. Prohibis are scared they are losing, so they try this shit. TOOOO FREAKING BAD, The truth is out.

Damned prohibitionists like him are outta touch with life in this country.

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826), Notes on Virginia

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826)

When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property
