Pot smoking vegans
A friedn of mine rang me recently to tell me of yet another of her old friends who is dying from cancer. Now what odd is that these people where hippies, the original ones, and they were mostly vegans, they had small holdings, they were very free thinking and relaxed, very chilled.....of course they had problems in their lives but above all they were new agers, into health foods etc etc
However the thing that connected them was pot..they grew it and smoked it...now of her friends who didnt smoke, they are mostly fine, and no deaths so far.....
What I am saying is...please think about NOT ever smoking pot as its carcenogenic, and much worse than ordinary cigarrettes....it increases your chances of cancer.
These were healthy eating, lean looking, fit people..or they should have been, but they are dying or they have died, at age 55 to 60....she was in tears as its getting so that she is just waiting for the next old friend to ring her and tell they have cancer too.
Please is if your 20 to 35 have good hard think about it as thats the time when it effects you most and you will store up trouble for later....

And the shaman would have trained his mind and then used the relaxation created by the cannabis to expand his abilities. Without orevious training smoking it is pointless, and expensive !

I've just had a nice big joint now.
The 'war on drugs' is merely another name for a 'war on nature'. To make nature illegal is one of the symptoms of insanity that our society shows.

Mushrooms are the only drug I will still do on occasion. It is not even a drug for me; it is a very sacred plant that has my utmost respect. It is through tripping on mushrooms that I began to change my life, started releasing old behavior patterns and conditioning and realized raw foods are the path for me.
I eat them raw. :-)

Wow, that is awful. :-( I am so sorry. It is the person who makes the trip what it is, not the drug.

my thoughts exactly Moth...I'm so sorry to hear that something so terrible has shaped your experience and perception of a plant...I can't blame you for having a bad taste in your mouth after that...

I would rather see someone smoke pot than take cholesterol medicine. Now that is dangerous. Seriously.

There have been some good points made here. One of the biggest problems is the TAPS diet that follows. Typical American Pot Smoking diet.. which is ice cream by the pint, dominos pizza delivered, skittles, chips etc plus lack of exercise. How many pot smoking joggers do you know? Even if they are eating "healthfully" it is usually, bean buritos, soy franken meat, packed soy milk, soy cheese, etc. Fried falafel, white bread products, etc. Plus most people eat 10x more than they normally would when high..

no doubt, that was my first thought, it's all the tofu and other soy products that are the cancer culprit, and the smoke tars don't help of course. soybeans grow so easily because they are nitrogen fixing, the chineses have used them as cover crops for ages to replenish the soil. greedy people saw an easy to grow resource, but needed a market for it, so they created a "healthy alternative" in soy products. the vegetarian hippies "ate it up", literally.

ah, i actually don't agree! but that's just in my case. when i'm high i'm ultra-conscious of what i'm putting into my mouth but then i am ultra-conscious of everything in that state. it's very hard for me to eat unhealthy then. it would be too weird.
i actually don't really get hungry when i'm stoned... moreso after i've been drinking, haha.
but then i guess i do have a lot of friends who follow the TAPS diet, i guess. ;)

Watch all three nights online. Some great info was given, but seemed like it was all about getting people to buy more and more products. All I know is that they made a TON of money.
How so?

Thanks guys!
Can I come over to yer Tonic Bar, Wrenn?
I irrigate my nose with salt water after almost every shift. I use a little bit of salt with my toothpaste every now and again. My silver fillings are pretty stable and I've noticed a metallic taste in my mouth whenever I use salt so I don't. Clov...
