Write your reply.

assistant: Having a nickle-iron core is not actually sufficient.  Planetary
magnetism is usually associated with a molten core which rotates in relation
to the planet.  Thus, Mars, which is nearly geologically dead (not totally),
only has a weak field.  Jupiter is thought to have a metallic hydrogen core,
and is actually a
protostar.  The Moon's field is extremely weak, and it IS
geologically dead.
       Uh... trying to tie this in with marihuana... Marihuana is not
magnetic ;-).

Of course you have to understand their "standard" of pot was Mississippi
ditch weed - probably a THC constant of .03%! Now you can look at a THC
constant of 2-3% average and I guess up to 7-8 (or a little higher) on
specially bred genetic beauties.
Kind of like buying chopped meat at $2.89 a pound and A pound of corn fed
USDA choice Black Agnus Kobe File Mignon beef at $20 or more a lb. Both are

Write your reply.

assistant: Probably not.  The genetics issue is a double edged sword - stands of
pure fiber hemp would be tainted with the narcotic variety as well, and
indoor grow operations would more than likely shield the seeding operations
in favor of the psychotropics.  Unless the fiber industry switched to the far
more costly shielded seeding beds, the fiber industry would soon be left with
a crop with pharmacological value as well as fiber.
       By depending on offshore (AKA, Dutch) seed suppliers for monoculture,
and growing for product rather than seed stock, the recreational value could
be maintained till the political weenies see the light.

It's a one-two punch...
Shortly after the ACLU filed a CDA brief with the Supreme Court, the
other major group of CDA opponents in this case -- the Citizens
Internet Empowerment Coalition [CIEC] -- also filed their brief.
The following Trial Bulletin gives a basic rundown of the CIEC brief,
as well as pointers to a Web site where you can read the document in
its entirety, and suggestions as to what you can do to get involved in
this milestone legal action.

 discernable way. All they seem to do today is the oldest form of
 leadership, ie., look which way everyone is going and step out in
 front of them. That being the case, we are really leading, now.
 I would argue that we never really know what our figure-head leaders
 truly think, because we fire them if they tell us! Perhaps we could
 bring them to a more honest way of doing business with us.
 Why don't we start hiring the ones who tell us what they think...
 or not hiring the ones who hard-sell in flashy bites of obvious poop!

assistant: I have, and what an experience!
 Have you ever had that sensory-deprivation feeling of loosing tactile
 realization of your body? When I lay on a comfy bed for awhile I can
 sometimes loose sense of my body. When I eat a nice green bit of bud
 that feeling of disconnectedness comes easily and fast!
 The experience is far more peaceful and more serene as well. This is a
 great help when I'm too nerved out to sleep. Settles me down beautifully.
 That's why I suspect eating fresh herb would be best for medical
 applications. The buzz is so much more euphoric than smoking. Also,
 there are the benefits of munching fresh chloroform, green stuff,
 plus none of the vitamin depleting and polluting effects of the smoke...
 I think it's a medical solution the naysayers might go for.

Victims?  Who is a victim of what?  The only victim I see in your

Why should any such suits have merit?  That's like having people
sue the pharmacist when he just provided what the physician prescribed.
In the case of the kind of drugs that you are alluding to, they are
self-prescribed by the user.  Unless the dealer sells something other
than what he represents it is, this should make him liable for fraud and
any resulting harm.  But, if the user gets what he asks for, the user is
the only one responsible for what he or she does with it and the
effect of the drug on him or her.

So did I was a little irrate at the small segment on a single person using

person that has a problem there are dozens who dont. They dont ban; peanut
butter, sugar, coffee or alcohol, yet there are a lot of people who abuse
these substances or will DIE if they use them.
We could have used an equal segment of time devoted to social users who dont
abuse the leaf. God knows there are a lot more of us then there are abusers.
Not true! The goverment and other idiots that support mj staying illegal all
use thier office or positions to lend false credibility to thier statements.
