amount of vigor that is inherent in the breed means that the cuts don’t die- they just hang around and don't
do much. I took cuttings of my over-wintering

cuts didn’t look ill, and didn’t grow, they just 'existed'. The mother plant doesn’t do well indoors- mine seemed
to get freaked out and started to flower. It flowered though most of winter, then suddenly decided to revert, I

“After years of heartfelt requests for a Northern Lights strain, Sagarmatha has engineered a superior version of
the NL legend. NL#9 delivers the finest qualities expected from that variety: a short plant with a voracious
stone and minimal smell. The flowering time is acceptable and fat chunky nugs can be expected. Fantastic for
gardens where smell is an unfavorable factor. Also fine for persons who desire a heavy, lethargic stone. Mostly Indica (F1 hybrid) with exceptionally broad leaves. Lots of resin on leaves as well as flowers, with a
musky hash like aroma. Strong physical high. Yields are above average. Short rounded plants.

Started with 10 seeds all germinated. One sprout was lagging far behind the others and it was put out of its
misery. Ended up with 1 female, 5 males, and 3 herms.
Again, like the rest of the Positronic stock grown out so far, these plants were close to identical in appearance.
They looked very much like the NL x Shiva that also came from Posi. To bad it didn’t take after the NL x Shiva
in all respects.
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
clone one time to see if it could redeem itself. Because the buzz got better it was given one more chance even
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.

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].

absence of such a study, two users who were arrested or who are serving prison sentences
for violation of the marijuana statutes voice reactions to their legal experiences:
It's rather discouraging to spend time in jail for the "crime" of possessing a
weed. I haven't hurt anybody, I haven't stolen from anybody, I haven't raped
anybody's daughter. Why am I in jail? I don't feel like a criminal.

This silly grass law is only one small reflection of the mentality that rules
America and dictates what we can read, what we can think and what
position we must use when we make love.

Having been convicted of selling five dollars' worth of seeds and stems to
an informer, I am currently serving a twenty-to-thirty year sentence.

my bail was set at $4s,ooo—an impossible sum for me to raise. So I sat
in jail for four months before being tried. There were twenty-five other
marijuana arrests in the... County in the past two years, but I am the only
one who has been sent to the penitentiary. Why this special treatment for
me?39
Law enforcement officers, however, often feel rehabilitation to be a worthy goal. Often
a judge's sentence will hinge on his feeling that a jail sentence actually serves a
rehabilitation function. We are reminded of Lindesmith's description of one such case:
... an occasional judge, ignorant of the nature of marihuana, sends a
marihuana user to prison to cure him of his nonexistent addiction. The
writer was once in court when a middle-aged Negro defendant appeared
before the judge charged with having used and had in his possession one
marihuana cigarette during the noon hour at the place where he had worked
for a number of years. This man had no previous record and this fact was
stated before the court. Nevertheless, a two-year sentence was imposed to
"dry up his habit."40
What, in fact, are the effects of arrests, convictions, and jail sentences on users? Are
they as likely to use again as they would if they were never arrested? This is, obviously,
impossible to answer. Nor can we compare their later arrest figures with the arrest figures
of a comparable group which was not arrested when they were. (We don't know the base
