These clones were grown amongst other clones in a 12 by 12 area lit by 2 1000w HPS and 1 1000w MH on a

We see here three vegetalistas who gathered to take the purge. The man on the
extreme left, dressed in clothing with steel scales, is a sorcerer who never heals,
only kills. That is why the fire coming out of his head is very hot and his aura is
red, as if it were dyed with blood. Around his arm he carries a nacanaca snake
Micrurus sp.], and all his knowledge can be seen in the yellow- and violetcoloured
figures on his head.The other man, dressed in green, is a witch and a
sorcerer. He is a witch because he casts his spells so as to imprison a person and do
with him as he pleases. He is a sorcerer because he casts a spell to kill the person he
chooses.The one dressed in light blue is a perfect master who only heals. His aura is
light blue and he shows his knowledge with the light blue and white colours. He
carries the virote huani, which consists of glass arrows and a cumaceba Swartzia

a criminal.

The one female was not very impressive grown from seed and turned herm. The buzz was acceptable but it
grew like chit. Very airy bud with little resin and a lot of leaf. The buzz made it worth keeping for a harvest from

though it still showed male flowers, not a lot but too many. The second time grown from clone it showed male
flowers again and didn’t improve much in quality or growth. So now it’s dead.

VISION 3
AYAHUASCA AND CHACRUNA
This painting represents the two plants necessary in preparing the ayahuasca brew.
Out of the ayahuasca vine comes a black snake with yellow, orange, and blue
spots, surrounded by a yellow aura. There is also another snake, the chacruna
snake, of bright and luminous colors. From its mouth comes a violet radiation
surrounded by blue rays. The chacruna snake penetrates the ayahuasca snake,
producing the visionary effect of these two magic plants.
To the left we see the teacher and his disciples covered by the radiation of the
ayahuasca and chacruna plants. The effect on the nervous system is felt in the tip
of the toes and fingers, in the ears, lips, eyes, and nose. This is why those parts are
red. The combined effect of these plants is esoteric: due to their supernatural
properties, psychic bodies are created that the eyes have never perceived before, so
that one is overwhelmed by this strange new dimension. This world penetrates the
top of the head so that the aura stimulates a gland between the eyebrows.
At the top left we see a bird called rompe-mortajas an owl] that has been
transformed from a tobacco leaf Below we see a great queen with a golden sceptre.
Her name is Mariquita Toe'. She is a doctor with great knowledge. Below her is the
legendary fairy Quetfael, who knows about medicine and paranormal beauty.
Behind the chacruna serpent we see the great sylph Resfenel, the guardian of
several constellations. We see him here surrounded by meteors and bright sapphires
which illuminate his clothes. To the right we see the great gardener with a golden
stick and a pipe shaped like a snake. This being has the rank ofsatrapa pito'nico,~
and always cares for the ayahuasca plant. The cricket we see near him cries in
alarm when anybody cuts a piece of this plant without first making an offering. If
the offering is made, it listens to the prayers: when ayahuasca is ingested it gives
positive effects. The skulls here show that those who do not withstand the effect of
ayahuasca may die. One has to prepare one's body properly before taking this plant.

expected, Cinderella 99 has topped all previous results - her high is heavily influenced by Haze; clear, energetic

many going through the ritual will reject the definition of them imposed by the process, it
nonetheless leaves its impress.
Formal Law, Substantive Law, and Law Enforcement
A common argument against marijuana use involves its legal status. Aside from the
debate concerning its dangers, or lack thereof, to the human mind and body, the single
irreducible fact regarding marijuana which is universally agreed upon is that its use,
possession, and sale are illegal. The opponents of marijuana use this as an effective
weapon in their dialogue with the drug's advocates. Regardless of one's point of view on
marijuana, it is outlawed. Everyone who uses it is a criminal, someone subject to the risk
of arrest and imprisonment who should expect to be punished.
Actually, this argument fails under close scrutiny. Many laws— perhaps most
laws—are not enforced. Formal law, law as it exists on the books, is very different from
substantive law, law as it is actually enforced. The breach of some laws engenders
widespread moral outrage, while the enforcement of other laws incurs that same public
wrath. "It's the law" can never be an excuse for sanctioning an act, because "the law" is a
hodge-podge of archaic long-forgotten, and ignored statutes that are never executed, along
with those that are respected and daily enforced.
Masturbation is illegal in a number of
states (Pennsylvania, for instance), and in Indiana and Wyoming, it is criminal to
encourage a person to masturbate. In forty-five states, adultery is illegal; Connecticut calls
for five-year imprisonment upon prosecution.
Mere fornication is a crime in thirty-eight
states, and a breach of this law theoretically carries a fine of $500 or two-years

imprisonment, or both.28] Many states dictate the manner in which one may make love
to one's spouse; cunnilingus and fellatio, for instance, are against the law in many legal
jurisdictions.
29] In view of the near-universality of masturbation among men and the fact
that a majority of all couples marrying today engaged in premarital intercourse, the virtual
absence of any prosecution for these crimes is remarkable. Although sanctioning all
crimes without victims entails severe problems of logistical detection, with adultery at
least, divorce suits constitute a fertile field. In New York state, where until recently
adultery was the only legitimate grounds for divorce, thousands of divorces have been
filed and granted in the past few years, yet almost no one is ever prosecuted for this crime.
[30]
The enforcement of certain laws, therefore, cannot be taken for granted. Enforcement is
problematic. Thus, when a law is enforced, it is necessary to ask why. What is it that
differentiates those laws that are enforced and those that are not enforced? The argument
that a man should refrain from perfnto a criminal into "the kind of person who would do such a thing." Although
many going through the ritual will reject the definition of them imposed by the process, it
nonetheless leaves its impress.

The enforcement of certain laws, therefore, cannot be taken for granted. Enforcement is
problematic. Thus, when a law is enforced, it is necessary to ask why. What is it that
differentiates those laws that are enforced and those that are not enforced? The argument
that a man should refrain from perfnto a criminal into "the kind of person who would do such a thing." Although

Formal Law, Substantive Law, and Law Enforcement
A common argument against marijuana use involves its legal status. Aside from the
debate concerning its dangers, or lack thereof, to the human mind and body, the single
irreducible fact regarding marijuana which is universally agreed upon is that its use,
possession, and sale are illegal. The opponents of marijuana use this as an effective
weapon in their dialogue with the drug's advocates. Regardless of one's point of view on
marijuana, it is outlawed. Everyone who uses it is a criminal, someone subject to the risk
of arrest and imprisonment who should expect to be punished.

almost certainly not a large-scale dealer.
There is the argument that the penalties for marijuana possession (and use) should be
reduced, but not for selling. This distinction violates empirical reality; it implies the
existence of two relatively separated social and moral spheres that articulate on a
superficial basis—profit. If the seller is guilty, the user is, too, because the user is the
seller, and the seller the user. The technical exchange of contraband goods for money
takes place at every conceivable level and by nearly everyone above the minimally
involved. Labeling all selling heinous and use only moderately reprehensible, is to display
ignorance of how the market works. The present law, as well as the moderate reforms
currently being proposed, puts use in one legal, logical category, and all levels of selling
in another. We find use and most selling transactions to be logically and socially
indistinguishable while high level, high volume, and high profit selling transactions exist
in a disjunctive social and moral universe. If we believed in "natural" social categories, the
present confusion would represent as great an intellectual blunder as classifying whales as
fish and bats as a species of bird.

1. It is interesting that the most vigorous of the antimarijuana propagandists of the
1930s, Harry Anslinger, denied that marijuana was sold by professional gangsters in 1937:
"... the control and sale of marijuana has not yet passed into the hands of the big gangster
syndicates. The supply is so vast, and grows in so many places, that gangsters perhaps
have found it difficult to dominate the source.... gangdom has been hampered in its efforts
to corner the profits of what has now become an enormous business." See Harry J.
Anslinger, with Courtney Ryley Cooper, "Marijuana—Assassin of Youth," American
Magazine 124 (July 18, 1937): 152-153. (back)
2. The clearest recent statement of this position may be found in Will Oursler,
Marijuana: The Facts, the Truth (New York: Paul S. Eriksson, 1968), pp. 113-120.
Oursler seems to think these college student distributors are gangland fronts, and are
called "beavers" in the underworld. (back)

areas of knowledge that are not generally well known even among scientists, such as those concerning
meditation or ostensible paranormal phenomena, so I have given literature references to guide the reader
seeking more understanding. I have tried to avoid speculation and interpretation as much as possible and
to stick to the basic findings.
Each chapter also contains a section on additional effects, a ranking of effects according to increasing
minimal levels of intoxication, a summary of background factors modulating the effects, and a general
summary.
Terminology
It is impossible to write about these phenomena in a readable style without using descriptive adjectives.
To avoid the ambiguity usually inherent in quantity adjectives, I have used a standard set of them, which
are defined in Table 5-1. Whenever other adjectives than those defined are used, I am speaking generally
rather than describing the exact form of the data.
To illustrate: if an intoxication effect is described as "very characteristic" and "primarily beginning to
occur at Moderate levels," this indicates that more than 50 percent of the users rated this effect as
occurring Very Often or Usually when they have been intoxicated in the last six months, and my
judgment of the distribution of responses on minimal levels of intoxication is that the Moderate ("Fairly
Stoned") level is the most representative2] level indicated.

a. Infrequent and Fairly Frequent are not always identical in practice
because of variable numbers of users skipping particular questions.
Linking
Many pairs or sets of question called for statistical comparison because of obvious similarity or because
they described converse effects. This was always done by a chi-square test of the distributions. I have
usually presented graphical results when they would be illustrative, as well as the probability figures.
Many other links exist that I have not analyzed in the text. The reader interested in part e the best perfumes and medicines.

All these queens possess esoteric knowledge and work here with the vegetalistas
who have turned themselves into wolves. The queens are seated on splendid chairs
placed on embroidered mats. In the centre of the picture are some of the plants used
as defence against evil sorcerers. These are the pin6n colorado Jatropha

VISION 46
SEPULTURA TONDURI
This vision is called sepultura tonduri Spanish sepultura = grave, funeral], which
is a very sad and frightening icaro, sung by a sorcerer to kill a person or his enemy.
We see here three vegetalistas who gathered to take the purge. The man on the
extreme left, dressed in clothing with steel scales, is a sorcerer who never heals,
only kills. That is why the fire coming out of his head is very hot and his aura is
red, as if it were dyed with blood. Around his arm he carries a nacanaca snake
Micrurus sp.], and all his knowledge can be seen in the yellow- and violetcoloured
figures on his head.The other man, dressed in green, is a witch and a
sorcerer. He is a witch because he casts his spells so as to imprison a person and do
with him as he pleases. He is a sorcerer because he casts a spell to kill the person he
chooses.The one dressed in light blue is a perfect master who only heals. His aura is
light blue and he shows his knowledge with the light blue and white colours. He
carries the virote huani, which consists of glass arrows and a cumaceba Swartzia
sp.] bow for use in difficult situations. But if he uses this weapon, he then becomes
a criminal.
Of the strange beings that appear on the extreme left, the one on the top belongs
to the green man, and the other two lower down belong to the witch and the red
sorcerer. Two soldiers take from his bed the soul of a muraya, anation for selling.
Every marijuana user is not only a marijuana user, he is invariably also a friend, and his
friends also smoke. There is a positive and linear relation between the amount one smokes
and the percentage of one's friends who also smoke (see Table 10-3).

Moreover, not only is a higher proportion of the heavy smoker's friendship network
more likely to smoke, but he is also more likely to have access to information concerning
the availability of periodically appearing quantities of marijuana on the market. He is
more likely to know others who buy and sell and who are higher up in the distribution
ladder.
He is more acquainted with the price system, which fluctuates even in the short
run. He knows more about some of the rules and precautions to take to avoid arrest, thefts
"burns" and being short-changed, as well as buying adulterated goods. He can buy and sell
successfully and with confidence. Anyone arriving on the marijuana scene in a completestranger
situation would encounter great difficulty in making a large purchase.
There is a two-way process at work here. On the one hand, one must be implicated in a
web of social relations to be able to purchase the drug. In this sense, friendship patterns
are a necessary condition for selling to take place. But one's friendship network is not
merely a passive requirement for selling and buying; it is also an active force which
insures one's involvement in selling as an activity, since friends who smoke make requests
and demands that often relate to marijuana sales.
In addition, selling further implicates one
in social relations that are marijuana-based.
By buying and selling, one extends one's
network of acquaintances, almost all of whom are marijuana users.
In short, friendships
