I don't smoke marijuana. I bake it in cookies and eat one right before bed. I have amazing rest and the most enjoyable, refreshing sleep.

Just don't take the aids drugs and you probably won't get AIDS. If you look at some of the things they give you if you have aids, you gotta wonder. I mean, take AZT, the DNA chain terminator drug. It was originally designed for cancer patients, but deemed too toxic for them. It destroys cells in every part of your body, your brain, your heart and lungs, your immune system, all in the hope of getting that HIV virus. It'll reduce the number of t lymphocytes in you body, thus appearing to give you aids, wow amazing.

Back in my day, we used cannabis as a recreational drug AND fuel. I remember this one time, David Bridges (one of my old fellows from Glasgow) had gotten his dirty hands on a Lanchester Armoured Car, that had been decommissioned after the second world war had ended (Damn Yanks). How and where he had gotten this fine piece machinery was never fully explained to me, and is not important for this story. Well as I was saying, good ole Davy had gotten his dirty hands on this armoured car, and he had been joy riding that thing all around Bearsden and he had run out of fuel for his damn car. Well one day he decides to give Bruce Macpherson's farm a visit. Brucie of course had the biggest plot of land in Beaersden. He had about 5 acres of land and it was all covered in lush green cannabis. Well wouldn't you know it, when Davy went to Brucie's place, he got himself some cannabis buds. He came back to my home and we smoked them together in our pipes for about an hour while listening to My Foolish Heart by Billy Eckstine. We decided to go take another joy ride on his car, but once we got in, we remembered that it had been out of fuel. And yet, we could swear that it was still moving and we were driving it. We slept in that car for the whole night, as the cannabis had taken effect, and we woke up at the bottom of a hill, smashed into some boulders. Well as it turns out, the car was indeed moving, but it was because Davy had parked his car on the edge of the hill, and right as we got on, the car must've started rolling down the hill. How is that an example of how cannabis can be used as fuel? I don't know, but I believe that was a story worth telling, and worth remembering too.

Legalize marijuana for those suffering, because it absolutely does work. It's inane that you can't get a prescription for pot. But to be dead honest, I think there is so much public pressure on the government to legalize it for general use, they simply do not want to give an inch. And laws like those in California are exactly what the feds don't want: a law so loose, *anyone* can get a card from their doctor.If, OTOH, we had a law in CA that established a prescription process similar to other medications, and showed it working, I think medicinal marijuana would be much further on the road to being a federal reality.-Pie

Thank you.Philly, in her younger days, before she got sick, would be giggling at the thought of me becoming an activist for marijuana, but there ya go.She would be happy about the current state of political discourse concerning marijuana..
