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

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

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 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 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 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 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
user's, and therefore cannot be taken

3664 (1966) I wanted to "cube" Princess but add a little beef to her branches because the buds were always too heavy at
harvest and branches needed staking to keep from flopping over. I crossed my ShivaSkunk female with one of
the males from the same group of seeds that Princess came from. THIS cross produced a male which was then
crossed to Princess, creating "P.50" (using a shorthand notation I developed to indicate the fraction of Princess
genes in the cross).
Each generation is the result of crossing a male from the previous generation to Princess herself (incestuous, I
know). owing awareness that many seemingly respectable individuals also smoke marijuana:

disappointed," she added. "I was scared shit," a student in pharmacy told me about an
experience six years earlier.
Aside from the expectation that the high would be much more spectacular, some of the
disappointment stems from the fact that many initiates do not become high the first time
that they smoke, or at least do not recognize it. Marijuana's effect is subtle, and is, as I
have stated, quite dependent on the learning process. In Becker's words,
... the new user may not get high and thus not form a conception of the drug
as something which can be used for pleasure....
... being high consists of... the presence of symptoms caused by
marijuana use and the recognition of these symptoms and their connection
by the user with his use of the drug. It is not enough, that is, that the effects
alone be present; alone, they do not automatically provide the experience of
being high. The user must be able to point them out to himself and
consciously connect them with having smoked marihuana before he can
have this experience. Otherwise, no matter what actual effects are produced,
he considers that the drug has had no effect on him.[8]
It is possible that the drug sometimes does not take effect on an individual who has
smoked once or even a dozen times. A small proportion of individuals seem almost
incapable of attaining a high, at least using conventional smoking techniques.
Whether
this is physiological or psychological, it is impossible at this point to determine. Many of
these individuals have been socialized into the subculture, know the proper techniques and
what to expect from them, have seen others enjoying pot, and yet never seem to cross the
threshold of becoming high. More commonly, however, the reason for the lack of
attainment of the high is inexperience. Among our respondents, 41 percent said that they
did not become high the first time and 13 percent said that they weren't sure whether or
not they were high. The attainment of the high, however, usually comes with experience.

out that if the subject couldn't take it, he could push a button, labeled "Emergency Alarm," to summon
assistance.
The subject then had his blood pressure and pulse taken to further reinforce the "medical" atmosphere
and was asked to sign a form that released the sponsoring organization, all affiliated organizations, and
their personnel from legal consequences of the experiment.
The actual experimental treatment, spending four hours in a small, well-lighted, comfortably
furnished room, had nothing to do with sensory deprivation. Except for the observation window through
which the subject could be observed, it was essentially a normal room and all that happened to the
subject was that there was no one to talk with for four hours.
A second group, the control subjects, were greeted by the same experimenter but he wore ordinary
business clothes and acted in a less officious manner. There was no "Emergency Tray" in the interview
room, nor was a medical history taken. The subject was told he was a control subject for sensory
deprivation studies. The procedures typical of such studies were described to him, such as white noise
on earphones, translucent goggles to block out all patterned vision, soft beds to reduce touch sensations,
and rules prohibiting physical movement. There was no "Emergency Alarm" button in the experimental
room.
Each control subject then spent four hours in the experimental room; experimental conditions were
thus the same except for the demands.
Both groups were interviewed after the experimental period and given various psychological tests.
The experimental group showed a number of significant changes on the psychological tests typical of
those found in sensory deprivation studies. Further, this group reported many more classical sensory
deprivation effects than the control group, including more perceptual aberrations, feelings of intellectual
dulling, unpleasant emotions, spatial disorientation, and restlessness. Thus many of the effects
commonly attributed to a "powerful" treatment, sensory deprivation, can be obtained by the implicit
demands in experimental instructions.
I fear that the reader who is not himself a physician or psychologist (i.e., who accepts such
experimental conditions as "normal") will find the above description of experimental conditions rather
ludicrous. How c

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

the offering is made, it listens to the prayers: when ayahuasca is ingested it gives

ayahuasca may die. One has to prepare one's body properly before taking this plant.

Generally, selling must be considered as part of the syndrome of use. It is not simply
that the user must purchase his drug supply from the seller to consume the drug (this
symbiotic relationship exists with heroin as well), but that the user and the seller are
largely indistinguishable; there is no clear-cut boundary between them. A large percentage
of users sell, and nearly all sellers use. In fact, the determining force behind selling is use:
heavy users are very likely to sell, while infrequent users are unlikely to do so. The fact
that a given individual sells—whether it be done once, occasionally, or frequently,
specifically for a profit—is determined mainly by his involvement in the drug, in its
subculture, with others who smoke. Selling marijuana, then, to some degree presupposes
involvement with the marijuana subculture which, in turn, implies at least a moderate
degree of use. Selling and using involve parallel activities and associations; the seller and
the user inhabit the same social universe. The difference between them is simply a matter
of degree, since selling is a surer indicator of one's involvement with the drug subculture

than is buying or, even more so, using. To think of the dealer as preying on his hapless
victim, the marijuana smoker, as profiting on his misery, is to possess a ludicrously
incorrect view of the state of affairs.
It is necessary, therefore, to abandon the conspiratorial view of the relationship between
the marijuana user and the seller—a primitive model borrowed from the world of
addiction. Rather, selling must be looked at as an index of involvement with the marijuana
subculture. At the peripheries of the marijuana scene, we find the experimenter, the
extremely infrequent user, the dabbler, the once, twice, or dozen-time user. He has few
marijuana-smoking friends, is rarely presented with opportunities for use, is curious about
its effects, and usually discontinues its use after his curiosity is satisfied. It is possible that
he is the most frequent representative of the total universe of all individuals who have ever
used the drug; if not, at any rate, he forms a sizable minority of all users.
At the lowest levels of use, the smoker does not even buy marijuana; close to threequarters
of our less than monthly smokers (71 percent) said that they never bought the
drug. He is dependent on friends who are involved with marijuana to offer him the drug
when he visits. In fact, when the drug is extended, it is not thought of as one person giving
another a material object. Generally, a joint is passed around to all present in a kind of
communal fellowship. Hence, giving marijuana away, in this specific sense, is more
common than selling. In volume, of course, marijuana is far more often sold than given
away. But more individuals have given marijuana away than have sold, since nearly every

Indoor Marijuana Cultivation
Introduction
Growing marijuana indoors is fast becoming an American Pastime. The reasons are varied. With the increased
interest and experimentation in houseplant cultivation, it was inevitable that people would apply their knowledge of
plant care to growing marijuana. Many of those who occasionally like to light up a joint may find it difficult to
locate a source or are hesitant to deal with a perhaps unsavory element of society in procuring their grass. There is,
of course, the criminal aspect of buying or selling grass; Growing marijuana is just as illegal as buying, selling, or
smoking it, but growing is something you can do in the privacy of your own home without having to deal with
someone you don’t know or trust. The best reason for growing your own is the enjoyment you will get out of
watching those tiny little seeds you picked out of you stash sprout and become some of the most lovely and lush of
all house plants.
Anyone Can Do It
Even if you haven’t had any prior experience with growing plants in you home, you can have a successful crop of
marijuana by following the simple directions in this pamphlet. If you have had problems in the past with marijuana
cultivation, you may find the solutions in the following chapters. Growing a marijuana plant involves four basic
steps:
1. Get the seeds. If you don’t already have some, you can ask your friends to save you seeds out of any good grass
they may come across. You’ll find that lots of people already have a seed collection of some sort and are willing
to part with a few prime seeds in exchange for some of the finished product.
2. Germinate the seeds. You can simply drop a seed into moist soil, but by germinating the seeds first you can be
sure that the seed will indeed produce a plant. To germinate seeds, place a group of them between about six
moist paper towels, or in the pores of a moist sponge. Leave the towels or sponge moist but not soaking wet.
Some seeds will germinate in 24 hours while others may take several days or even a week.
3. Plant the sprouts. As soon as the seed cracks open and begin to sprout, place it on some moist soil and sprinkle a
little soil over the top of it.
4. Supply the plants with light. Fluorescent lights are the best. Hang the lights with two inches of the soil and after
the plants appear above the ground, continue to keep the lights with two inches of the plants. It is as easy as
that. If you follow those four steps you will grow a marijuana plant. To ensure prime quality and the highest
yield in the shortest time period, however, a few details are necessary.
Soil
Your prime concern, after choosing high quality seeds, is the soil. Use the best soil you can get. Scrimping on
the soil doesn’t pay off in the long run. If you use non-sterilized soil you will almost certainly find parasites in it,
probably after it is too late to transplant your marijuana. You can find excellent soil for sale at your local plant shop
or nursery, K-Mart, Wal-Mart, and even some grocery stores. The soil you use should have these properties for the
best possible results:
1. It should drain well. That is, it should have some sand in it and also some sponge rock or pearlite.
2. The pH should be between 6.5 and 7.5 since marijuana does not do well in acidic soil. High acidity in soil
encourages the plant to be predominantly male, an undesirable trait.
3. The soil should also contain humus for retaining moisture and nutrients.
If you want to make your own soil mixture, you can use this recipe: Mix two parts moss with one part sand and one
part pearlite or sponge rock to each four gallons of soil. Test your soil for pH with litmus paper or with a soil testing

to time who do not now because of
the laws, but who do not like to drink. Thus, the figure who use some intoxicant would
increase were pot legalized, but it would be far lower than the additive effect of all those
who now use liquor added to all those who might use pot.
If we want to consider the effect of the marijuana laws on public safety, we are
therefore faced with the prospect of comparing the relative merits of alcohol and
marijuana. As stated earlier, marijuana users cite the comparison as a powerful argument
in the drug's favor, while physicians dismiss the argument. Where does that leave us?
In terms of tissue damage, the evidence is clear; no sane observer of the American drug
use scene would claim for marijuana the ravaging effect that alcohol has. Daily
moderately heavy usage of American or Mexican cannabis, say, six joints a day, produces
no known bodily harm. (But we must remember that we have no valid studies of
potsmokers which span any length of time.) Daily moderately heavy use of alcohol—the
quantity comparable to the amount of marijuana which would intoxicate the user for an
equal length of time, i.e., the whole day, would be about half a quart a day—will destroy,
threaten or damage most of the body's vital organs over a long period of time. In terms of
auto accidents, the evidence we have suggests a gain. The drunk driver behind the wheel
is far more of a threat and a danger than the high pothead. Empirical tests show that
alcohol discoordinates the driver far more than marijuana—if it occurs with marijuana at

all.45] Decrease in aggression, violence, and crime, too, would be only a positive gain.
Alcohol moreover is often directly linked with the commission of crime; far from inciting
crime, marijuana, contrastingly, possibly inhibits it. Our speculations on insanity would
have to be even less firmly grounded in known fact than those for tissue damage,
automobile accidents, and violence, but marijuana would have to strive to catch up with
alcohol's record; one of four admissions to a mental hospital is an alcoholic. Here, too, I
think, the use of pot would be a clear gain.
The members of the antipot contingent who claim that alcohol is preferable to
marijuana, and that legalization would be nothing but a disaster for this or any nation, do
have a single telling point, as I see it. This is that marijuana is always used to become
intoxicated, or high, and alcohol is often, indeed, perhaps most of the time, used for
nonintoxicatory purposes. Alcoholic substances are frequently consumed on many
occasions where the drinker does not become drunk or intoxicated. For instance, at many
sporting events—football and baseball games—several bottles of beer may be drunk by a
spectator without effect. The same may be said for wine at a meal, cocktails (sometimes)
at a party, or sherry as a nightcap. Of course, many marijuana smokers do Remember that when we speak of �high� in this context, we literally mean �a high frequency� of

the relatively few (but absolutely, many) users who are arrested gives them cause for the
accusation of distributive injustice. Rehabilitation is predicated on the notion that the
transgressor thinks of his transgression as wrong. Users often give up use of the weed
after arrest but for practical reasons, not out of a desire to rid themselves of a nasty habit.
To demonstrate these assertions, a study of arrestees would have to be made. In the
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

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

It is impossible to write about these phenomena in a readable style without using descriptive adjectives.

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.

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
