    RIP Jack Herer June 18, 1939 - April 10, 2010

    I know many of you may not know who this man is.. but cannabis reform activist Jack Herer has died of heart complications. "The Hemperor" as he's called traveled around the world spreading the message of marijuana legalization and hemp industrialization. He's done more for our cause than pretty much anyone else.

    He wrote a book, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", which is a very detailed and wonderful book dealing with the lies our government has told us about cannabis. A little known fact is he ran for President under the Grassroots party in 1988 and 1992.

    He also has a delicious strain of cannabis named after him. It will knock you on your ass.

    A few months ago he was in a coma from a minor heart attack and a major stroke. He attributes his recovery from that episode to psychotropic mushrooms. The man is a legend and he will be sorely missed.

    RIP Jack Herer.

    This is God's way of telling us that all those pot-smoking slacker hippies deserve to die.

    Well I had never heard of the guy, so I went for the sarcastic option.

    Seriously though, let's hope his legacy and hard work lives on. Unfortunately, we're living in a country so impressionable that getting legislation passed on that issue soon is next to impossible.

    Much respect to him.

    I watched Dateline last night. I think it aired this past friday, or maybe just on Monday.

    They went to Detroit... it was pretty crazy. I have heard people say that it looks like a war zone but i have on idea since I live in Texas.

    It really had me thinking though. It's just crazy to see that it's so bad in some parts of the country like that, and I'm living a pretty cushy life in the dallas suburbs. Really sad situation though, and a little scary that a place is so bad in the US.

    I have been there a couple of times, and it does look like someone bombed the hell out of the city and never rebuilt it. It is actually quite a scary thing to think about: that the United States basically gave up on one of its (formerly) great cities.

    Blizzard makes $2 million in 4 hours selling "celestial steed" mount in WOW.

    which, @ $25 each is 80,000 sold. I think it's kinda crazy.

    Its a legit means to add value to your company. The crazy thing is that all that was likely invested in the item was maybe 40 man hours into creating the model, textures, and putting it up into the store. No factories, no distribution warehouses, no marketing campaigns; the rest is pure profit.

    This seems to be a bit extreme, especially since I am pretty sure that they are going to "certain" neighborhoods. Gun violence is indeed a problem here, but this is taking things to a ridiculous level.

    Update on crash in Smolensk Wood, because whole crash seems fishy, really fishy.
    1)Wiktor Bater(Polish television corespondent in Russia) knew about crash 16 minutes before it happened
    2)There were present Russian mobile radio-locational arrays there 3 days before crash, when the prime minister was going there.
    3) Plane was flying using wrong trajectory - instead of aiming into airfield it was directed into woods - only way, thanks to the mist that was present there, of adjusting proper trajectory was radio-location - why not use the aforementioned mobile radio-location arrays? or maybe they were used to change trajectory of plane?
    4)Russian specialists are looking over black box data - but day after day it gets more corrupted - there are SSD disks in those black boxes so how that's possible?
    5) 2 additional bodies were present at crash site(fresh bodies). their DNA did not match any of the passengers one.
    6) One Russian plane had the same problem as Polish one - it was flying like the airfield was few clicks from the real airfield.
    Number of works of fiction that made me shed at least one tear: 3
    Thou seeketh soul power, dost thou not?

    OH, you're in Poland...

    That has to be a weird situation. All the stuff I've seen or read about that "crash" is just crazy... I even read something about this guy who was filming right after it crashed and he supposedly turned up dead some time later after releasing the video w\ possible gun shots onto the internet.

    Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Fire Bombed...

    http://consumerist.com/2010/05/marij...irebombed.html

    I'm a huge fan of irony.

    These people disapprove of medical marijuana despite a 64% vote in favor of it in the past... but they approve of firebombing...

    There are just too many cannabis dispensaries in Colorado and California. Representatives of Colorado claim they are trying to "legitimize" medical marijuana laws as opposed to California's largely unregulated system, which includes advertising in the paper for anyone to pay a fee to get their card. But it looks like CO may not have its shit together after all.

    Oh well, if all goes well the whole west coast will be legal by 2012. Green rush. I can't wait.
