TRAFFIC STOP WAS ILLEGAL, COURT SAYS

The Border Patrol searched a man's car because he appeared to be
Hispanic and he looked straight ahead.


The US Border Patrol lacked legal grounds to stop a Hispanic man who
ignored them while driving an old car that appeared to be loaded down, a
federal appeals court said yesterday.

In a strongly worded ruling, the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals
overturned Ramiro Rodigruez's guilty plea to charges of possessing
marijuana with intent to distribute.  Agents found 168 pounds of
marijuana in his 1976 Ford Ranchero after stopping it on Interstae 8 in
Southern California in August 1990.

In claiming reasonable suspicion of wrongdoing to justify the stop, the
agents cited these facts:

The driver looked Hispanic.

The driver looked straight ahead when passing them, without acknowledging
their presence, then looked in his rearview mirror several times while
they followed him.

The road was often used by undocumented worker smugglers.

The car was a type that had a space where undocumented workers could be
hidden.  

The car responded sluggishly to bumps, as though heavily loaded.

... "This profile could certainly fit hundreds or thousands of
law-abiding daily users of the highways in Southern California,"
said Judge Cecil Poole.

Huh? From all I have read, you soak the seeds in water, precisely to
remove any water soluble insecticides that may be on the seed. 

By the way - I believe DDT has been banned in the US, and most of the
rest of the world, for many years now. The insecticide used would be
some other compound.

Once again, I am not a user of these drugs. Someone will correct me

During a little bit more than a year, I have had two periods in which I
could not drink alcohol without getting pain in what seems to be both
kidneys and parts of my stomach.

The first period lasted about 3 months, until late november 1991. In this
period, I could drink about 2 or 3 beers with 4.5 % alcohol without getting
too much trouble from that.

The second period has lasted from about april this year, and the troubles
are still not gone. Now I cannot drink ANY alcohol, I think, without getting
great pains. In other words, I have become more and more sensitive to
alcohol. Beer, Wine, Spirits; the results are the same.

A strange thing is that if I drink at a saturday, I will hardly notice
any of the above mentioned problems the following sunday. At monday night
and morning, I will start to get a little pain in what I am pretty sure
are both kidneys. When I have got up from bed and been walking around for
about 1/2 an hour nearly all the physical trouble will have disappeared.
The strongest pains will be at tuesday and wednesday morning.
If I get pretty drunk, I will have serious pains for about 10-14 days.
If I only drink one beer, most of it will be gone in less than a week
after drinking.

I don't understand anything of this. Nor do the doctors, I think. All they
can say is stop drinking and see what happens. I have taken blood- and urine-
tests and also had my kidneys x-rayed. Nothing unnormal has been found after
this.

Nowadays I can have some pain without having even tasted alcohol for
several weeks. I'm getting tired of all this. If anyone knew what this
could be, and they would care to tell at "alt.drugs", I would be
thankful.

The greatest problem is not the physical pain, but not knowing its exact
reason.

I am a 27 year old CS graduate student from Norway. Until this I haven't
had any serious illness worth mentioning. I don't take any medications,
and have taken part in typical scandinavian drinking habits for almost
10 years. Sorry that my english/american is not so good. It's not my
mothers tongue.


Thanks.

It's not really all that dangerous but:
Never inhale out of the pressurized tank, like you said, unless you like flash
freezing your mouth, throat, and lungs.
Never use a mask, ala a dentist, you may pass out and if you do and the mask
stays on you are basically dead.
Use a balloon. It is about the right size of a dose, and will hold one small
cartride if you are using that technique. (Whippets, etc.)
Make sure you are lying/sitting down. You get dizzy/pass out and will almost
always fall if standing. (Provided you get a good hit.) It's be stupid to crack
your head on something.
Hold the cartridges up right. Upside down or on the side and liquid Nitrous 
will spray out. Most likely freezing the ballon and possibly bursting it and
spraying you. It will burn you. (Cold burns as well as heat does.)


Advice... 
If you don't have access to a cracker, which are illegal in some states anyway,
you can get an Archer MicroNox torch from Radio Shack for about $25. REPLACE
THE BUTANE CYLINDER WITH A NITROUS CYLINDER! You really, really, really, don't
even want to risk accidentally getting a balloon of butane, it's poisonous.
Big bad thing.(tm) You can use an empty once you have one, basically you need
to plug that hole so the nitrous doesn't leak out there.

You can either use the MicroNox fuel, sorta expensive. Or go to a kitchen 
supply store and get cream whipper rechargers. Lechters in my area sells a box
of 10 for $7. Brands differ, I can think of the name brand here, it's a white
box with black and red lettering. The othr major brand is Kiddie Whippets.

Remember, it is for Whipped cream, not inhaling. Some stores won't sell to you
if you say that it is. (Of course they will look at you weird for buying 50
catridges at once, or they smile knowingly, depending on their age usually.)

My experience with flashbacks has been mind, though definitely real.
I tend to see occasional trails at the oddest times, mainly in a darkened
room, or if I'm under the influence of some alcohol, or, strangely,
when I'm running the vacuum cleaner almost invariably it will leave trails as{>{
I move it. Maybe it's the noise that induces it, I don't know.

Anyway, they certainly are not unpleasant effects, they're actually nice
reminders of good times :-)

Oh one thing I forgot to mention...sometimes patterns in tile or floors will
start to vibrate, etc. also.

I guess my flashbacks are mild because I haven't had very much LSD cumulatively
about 500 mg is what I have had over my entire lifetime.

Anyone remember the Gooney Bird T-Shirts that said "75 ug" on the tail
of the plane?  These shirts appeared shortly after Gooney Birds
were the fashionable acid on summer tour.  I think 75 was
pretty accurate.  And I think Jeremy's estimate is on the mark too.

Well, cynic that I am about politics -- I'm hoping that Clinton is saying
what he is about the drug war to get elected and actually doesn't plan on
implementing much of what he professes.

This is something, anyway.

Sigh -- possibly.  Of course, it is possible that enough disagreement

Well, I'm a registered Libertarian who will vote for Clinton because I want
to make DAMN sure that Bush doesn't win.  Contrary to "true" Libertarians,
I do believe there is big difference between Clinton and Bush, and I think
Clinton is far superior -- even if he is still a far cry from my ideal of
what a president should be.

I *am* planning on voting for Libertarian candidates for all other offices
for which they are running (we have Genis and Boddie running for our two
Senate seats that I'm sure of voting for).

I don't know how educated my opinion is, but it sounds like she's full of shit.
Too much acid?  Who knows.  I could ask some rhetorical questions like:

If she knows them, why blotter?
Why would they put strychnine in?
Why would they tell her they put strychnine in?
Why would she tell you they told her they put strychnine in?
And so on.

If they are putting strychnine in, they're really not very nice, since it
seems clear from the myriad of documents produced in this forum that it's
simply not necessary.

But maybe they've got some super-special-secret recipe for something that isn't
LSD but fits on a piece of blotter paper?  I doubt it.

Nor have I ever heard anything about "bone marrow deterioration" as a con-
sequence of too much strychnine.  But, of course, I don't exactly follow the
latest news from the world of strychnine.

I don't know, the whole thing sounds pretty sketchy to me.  But there's no
shortage of crazy people in the world, so ya never know.

I friend told me about some psychoactive substance he had recently
ingested that was sold to him as 'smurfberries,' and was told was acid.
The dosage he took was two purple squares, about 3/4in. square.  He was
told to crunch them up in his mouth instead of just swallowing them.  
They tasted like raspberries.  When I asked him, he said they did
have a slight metallic and bitter taste.  He did not have an upset
stomach.  His pupils diliated and he claimed to see strong visual
hallucinations and some auditory hallucinations.  The trip kicked in
after about two hours, and lasted for about eight.

I've never heard of acid-spiked candy before, and I'm suscpicious of the
whole story.  Does this sound likely?  Was it probably acid or
some other hallucenogen, e.g. DOB?
