“I've grown this both inside and out. If you do a search, you'll probably find some previous posts that I’ve
written on this type; In brief, it is effectively pure sativa (though actually has early girl crossed in, very
recessive in all respects). Inside and out, it likes to grow large. Stretch continues right through flowering, which
was a respectable 8 weeks (the only virtue carried over from early girl). Buds are thin, green, sweet and sharp
smell, very good sativa high- quite psychoactive (trippy?). Little paranoia, very long high. Unless you grow very
big plants, yield is low, as could be expected from such a plant. At present I'm having great trouble with my EP

P.50 = Heavy, single-cola type plants with mellow high (too much influence from the ShivaSkunk) Sweet fruity
scent/flavor. Unstable in most traits - for example, 10 days difference in fastest/slowest maturation period in a
group of 20 seedlings.
P.75 = Plants leaning MUCH more in the direction of Princess in floral cluster and bud structure, scent/flavor
turned more "tropical" like pineapple. The stability was becoming better - two major phenotypes; short & dense
(potent too) or tall/HUGE (Not so potent).
P.88 = Renamed Cinderella 88 when first released on the market. It grows fast and produces excellent yields of
FROSTY buds in 7 weeks! Generally uniform seedlings with minor differences in floral formation and some height
variance, but the smoke is quite consistent from all plants - Dense, heavy nuggets of fruity scented & flavored
(like wild berries) and covered in resin glands, the dried buds have distinctly ORANGE pistils. Feminized Cannabis Seeds

the best review of existing laws and their social consequences has been made by Kaplan in his recent

of the social issues revolving around marijuana use.
EXTENT OF USE
(5 of 7)4/15/2004 7:02:27 AM
On Being Stoned - Chapter 1
In spite of the severe penalties attached to possession and sale of marijuana, use today is very
widespread.
Given the sorts of pleasurable effects reported later in this book, it seems likely that use will
continue to increase.
No definite survey of incidence of use can be made because there is always a (realistic) tendency of
wary users to deny their use. Nevertheless, a large number of surveys of drug use on college campuses
have been made (Kaplan, 1970; Pearlman, 1968). It is now a rare college campus that does not have a
significant number of marijuana users and on many campuses users themselves estimate over 50 percent
of the students use marijuana occasionally, primarily at social events. An unpublished study that I
carried out in collaboration with one of my graduate students, Carl Klein, found that from 1967 to 1968
the percentage of students who used marijuana at a conservative West Coast university doubled, and
various formal and informal estimates of that population since have confirmed that a majority of the
students have tried marijuana. (Further details of this study are presented in Chapter 28.) This seems
typical. Drug-education programs sponsored by schools and government agencies are viewed with scorn
and amusement by users since Acheter Du Cannabis their own and friends' experiences with marijuana convince them that the
instructors are ignorant or lying.
This is an unfortunate effect, as the attitude may be generalized to
warnings about drugs that really are dangerous, such as hard narcotics and amphetamines.
Marijuana use is by no means confined to college campuses. In a survey of young adults (eighteen
and over) in San Francisco, Manheimer, Mellinger, and Balter (1969) reported that 13 percent had used
marijuana at least once. Conservative estimates in the press usually figure that several million
Americans have tried marijuana, although it is not clear how many use it with any regularity.
Difficult political, moral, and religious problems arise when an act generally condemned and illegal
spreads at such a rapid rate. This book is not the place to go into them, but the interested reader will find
some good discussions in Aaronson and Osmond (1970), Krippner (1968), and Kaplan (1970).
Leaving aside considerations of social and political problems, what sort of reliable, scientific
knowledge do we have about the effects of marijuana? What Northern Bright do users experience that makes the risk of
prison worthwhile?
The following chapter discusses the nature of marijuana intoxication and explains why previous
scientific work has gained v
e trees for the mere sake of it, nor should one use
them as lumber. These trees are generating substances that other beings use as their
nourishment. If one urinates and defecates on the tree, the tree will then emit
something harmful to these beings. That is the reason they are very defensive.
In the background we see cities, towers, monuments, and parks associated with
the kapukiri. To the left we see huts where the great shamans of various tribes
arrive in spirit, to be trained regarding the kapukiri. There one learns that a young
man should not sleep in the bed of an old man. Native people, particularly the
elderly, don't like anyone to touch what belongs to them. All that belongs to the
shamans must be respected-the bed, the plates, etc. This is because a young man is
full of filth. When one becomes old, one learns to be cleaner.
The city in the centre symbolises the purity of a shaman when, already old, he
goes to another stage. It is the purity that the person acquires through his death,
when he leaves this life and is transported to another place.
This is when a person
has been ordained, when he has been requested. Not everyone goes there. I don't
reject the Christian belief according to which Christ said to his disciples: "Whither I
go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow me afterwards" John
13:36]. But this does not hold true for everyone. Christ said: "In my Father's house
are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place
for you" John 14:2]. But this doesn't mean that this is for all humanity, but for
certain chosen persons. Christians were mistaken when they thought that everyone
shall go to heaven.
VISION 31
CUNCATUYA
This vision shows us how a woman, suspecting nothing, contracts the cungatuya
disease from the water she drinks. There are two ways of getting the disease. One
gets it after a sorcerer sends his mashu or bat to drop its yachay or phlegm in order
to bring the disease. The victim then becomes very weak and dies, as he cannot
ingest any nutrition. Secondly, one can get it when the same bat or rnashu drops its
saliva into the water one is about to drink. This happens if one leaves one's jar
without a cap.
Here we see how a woman is drinking contaminated water, causing this awful
cungatuya disease sent by a sorcerer through his mashu, which dropped the phlegm
into the jar on the grill.
To the left, however; we see how a vegetalista is curing the
disease by sucking it with the mann of his throat. To prevent any intrusion upon the
circle where the healing is being performed, the doctors have raised strong tingunas
of surprising colours and posted animals of prey, such as the yachaygavilanes wise
sparrow hawk], the tahuicuros [Monasa nigrifons] and the supay-unchalas
unchala = Aramides cajanea], as well as the push co-yuyo plant and the thorns of
casha-huasca [thorny vine]. The master is also seen raising his magnetic powers in

Bongs Cannabis and A
Cannabis Strains I hung the pulled plant to dry for about a week and started smoking it (had nothing else). It was some of the
best tasting bud I've smoked in my 25 years of smoking herb. It is very fruity and tropical. Even the leaves
had the sweet fruity flavour. The buzz was really nice, fairly strong, but only lasted for about an hour (5 weeks
and no cure). Really looking forward to
massive bongs
trying the finished (and cured) product.
I would highly recommend this
strain for ScrOG although if I were to order these seeds again I would not get them from Richies.”- Scotty
“Completely covered in brick-red hairs, this dark green bud has a nice thick layer of tannish resin crystals. It
smells candy-sweet and lightly fruity. It looks and smells like a Sativa, but glistens like its Northern Lights
forefathers. When smoked, the bud tastes fruity and sweet too, but smells very brown, like a Colombian.
***1/2” – Homepage Amsterdam Friend has been growing supposed BB for a while now, and let me say that the BB from Sensi I grew and
selected a perfect mother (maybe just great luck?), but mine sure is different. Much greener, tastier, more
potent, amazing. 8-10 in my opinion. But even Sensi says that 25% are "Special". So I'd advise germing the
whole batch (pack ) of seed as to give yourself a better shot at a primo Mom! Good luck dude. If you never
grew any exotics before, try an easier strain. You really kind of need to know what your doing (selection wise).”

at the study of a cross-section of all individuals who have tried
marijuana, or even who smoke it regularly, however regularly might be defined, will yield
very few who are high all of the time, or even more than a few hours each evening. The
facts do not support the stoned model. When the user smokes marijuana he does, indeed,
become high, or stoned. And if one observed his behavior during this period, he
bongs is often
measurably less active than normally. But to say that it is the ultimate goal of a large
proportion of users to seek this state most of the time is to distort the facts. It is only
because researchers cannot understand why anyone would want to become high in the first
place that they find it necessary to attach the label "psychological addiction" or
"habituation" to his behavior and motives. If they found use of the substance acceptable,
they would not emit
Seeds Hemp this labeling behavior.
It is clear that another model is necessary. And this model, I propose, is the recreational
model. It fits the facts more faithfully than any of the previously mentioned models. And
it contains none of the moral judgments that the others are clearly guilty of. The
recreational model takes issue with these perspectives. Essential to the recreational
conception of marijuana use are the following elements: (1) it is used freely,
noncompulsively; (2) it is smoked episodically—once or several times a week or so on the
average; (3) it is experienced as pleasurable by the participants; (4) it is used in
conjunction with (and not a replacement for) other enjoyable activities; (5) its impact on
one's life is relatively superficial; (6) its use results in relatively little harm to the
individual; and (7) its use is highly social. By adopting the recreational perspective toward
marijuana use, I do not wish
Pot Bongs to imply that everyone who has ever smoked marijuana may
be described in terms of this model, nor even that a majority of all users are typified by all
of these principles. It is, however, to say that this model presents a relatively accurate
summarization of the experiences of the characteristic user, that these traits are typically
found in marijuana
use. In any case, the issue is an empirical one; if the model is
ineffective, then it
bongs must be discarded.
In my own research, however, the recreational
model yielded far more insights and more accurately described the reality I investigated
than did any of the traditional models.
I found that most users smoke marijuana
recreationally, and I believe that any study investigating a fairly representative group of
smokers will support the same generalization. It is possible, of course, to uncover some
individuals who are motivated by compulsive forces and experience overwhelmingly
unpleasant reactions. A study based on users who visit psychiatrists will, naturally be far
more likely to be composed of users whose experiences differ from the normal everyday

Twe
as well as to an
entire tradition in marijuana commentary. Yet such a conclusion is difficult to avoid.
The
marijuana user appears to be more active socially than the nonuser. He has more friends
and socializes more. He is engaged in a larger number and a greater variety of activities
than the nonuser—aesthetic appreciation and creation, political activism, and social
welfare, for instance. (Of course, some other human endeavors, such as traditional and
formal religious participation, are less often the object of marijuana users' interests.)
The zero-sum notion assumes that the two realms, the straight and the stoned, are
antagonistic and incompatible, enjoyed by a wholly different and distinct personnel. In
reality, most potsmokers do not rob their straight life to pay their stoned existence.
More
commonly, the two enrich each other. Thus, any model based on the assumption that by
using marijuana those activities which society values will typically or necessarily
deteriorate in the lives of users has to be faulty. In the average user, no such process takes
place.
(It will, of course, be a relatively simple matter to uncover exceptions.) The average
marijuana smoker utilizes his drug of choice as an adjunct and an enhancer of many of the
activities that the ordinary law-abiding citizen participates in.
The dire predictions of what happens when someone takes to the weed do not seem to
happen. It is said that although marijuana is not technically addicting, it does generate a
kind of psychological addiction (thus, the stoned model), and that once legal restrictions
are relaxed, huge numbers of persons will be stupefied most of their waking hours.
When
we look at the facts, this argument evaporates. Most marijuana users smoke the weed
occasionally. The truly committed "head," the smoker who is high the whole day, day in
and day out, is a Big Bongs relative rarity, perhaps comprising 1 or 2 percent of everyone who has

potsmoking that society's model of marijuana use is borrowed.

difference of kind, and not simply a matter of degree.
It is only because the medical
profession views marijuana use by definition pathological and abnormal ("abuse" is
defined as taking a drug outside a medical context) that any use of marijuana has to be
viewed, medically, as a kind of habituation, or psychological addiction. Something
anomalous, puzzling, and disturbing must be labeled pathological. But in less moralistic
terms—and it is only on moral grounds that the medical label makes any sense at all—it is

many going through the ritual will reject the definition of them imposed by the process, it

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.

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
