Here is some modern anti-LSD propaganda right out of California. It sounds to me more like the people are doing pcp.

Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later. If you don’t know who this man is, he’s a 420 businessman who is incredibly active against prohibition. Here’s an article from the BBC describing the situation.

This article at the Huffington Post helps to remind us again (as if we’d forgotten) that something is wrong with the way pot’s scheduled:

Why marijuana is not a drug

I’d say it’s a good read if you feel the need to argue with someone anti-pot and want to be informed on the issues. If you like Stoner Culture and you want to see more posts please leave a comment!

It seems Mexico is the most drug-progressive country at the moment, and it’s for reasons I don’t think anybody would expect. For those not inclined to read, you are now allowed by law to have 5 grams of marijuana (shitty Mexican brickweed, this is maybe enough for a couple hours of fun), half a gram of cocaine, 50 milligrams of heroin, 40 milligrams of methamphetamine and 15 micrograms (barely threshold experience, if that) of LSD. You can thank the drug cartels.

“That marijuana causes very little social harm is reason enough in a free society to legalize it for adults. But as Steve, Paul, and Mason so brilliantly demonstrate in this book, an even more persuasive reason is that by prohibiting marijuana we are steering people toward a substance that far too many people already abuse, namely alcohol.”

Sounds like some bullshit, right? Wrong. The title of this post is the title of a rational and well-balanced article written for Time Magazine. The article considers the health effects, both positive and negative, of marijuana and manages to paint our good herb with a light mostly positive. It’s time for change. Remember, if you live in California then there is currently a bill in queue that would legalize and tax marijuana. Look down a few posts for more details.

Have you ever heard of those mythical publications out of the sixties where spacey LSD-dosing scientists and essayists talk about drugs in the most official way possible? I had too, and today I found a glorious archive containing every volume of the ’60s publication The Psychedelic Review. Choice articles (PDF) include “The Pharmacology of Psychedelic Drugs,” “Four Psilocybin Experiences,” as well as “LSD and Sexuality.” The last one has a pretty trippy drawing on the last page, and in fact, most of the later issues are filled with all kinds of trippy content. Anyway, this place is awesome so go check it out. Leave any comments you may have below.

“People are offering to sell us ‘hydro’ on the streets every week;” said L. Sparks, team leader of a special crimes task force in Johnson County. “We’ve probably seen a 50 percent increase in the last few years. They sell it as the good stuff.”

The article talks about the proliferation of high-end grow ops into nicer neighborhoods and the consequences arising from this.

Who likes to drive while high? Everyone who smokes pot and drives a car, that’s who. Recently, the California DMV has decided to the reasonable thing and make it policy for medicinal marijuana to be treated just like any other prescription drug when they consider whether or not to renew your license. Here’s the article.
