Inside the Remote Farm That Supplies WAMM 04/17/00

Bed, Bud and Breakfast Opens in Santa Cruz 04/21/00
Christening the "tokers" deck, medical-marijuana advocates freely passed around victory joints, celebrating the opening of this one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast in downtown Santa Cruz. "Lets medicate," said one gray-haired woman before lighting a tiny black pipe and taking a long drag.

UPDATE: Some sad news. The Compassion Flower Inn has closed. The owners apparently moved to Hawaii.

Cannabis Culture

High Times

"One night I smoked down a big joint and then went downstairs and ate two pints of Haagen-Dazs ice cream and then went back to bed. An hour later I woke up and thought my heart had stopped. And the next day I went to a cardiologist and he said, "Well, no, it didn't stop. Everything's fine.' And that was the end of my pot experiences."

SEEDING THE CULTURE

Like so many hard-up people within the cannabis culture, Laurence Cherniak has benefitted from the support, promotion and sponsorship of the Sensi Seed Bank. One of the best known cannabis companies in Amsterdam, largely through the exceedingly well publicised, Hash Marijuana Hemp Museum, the Seed Bank has been influencial and successful in furthering the acceptance of marijuana and hemp in Dutch society and beyond. A tireless activist and a far sighted entrepreneur, Seed Bank founder, Ben Dronkers is one of the founding fathers of the cannabis culture as it exists in Amsterdam today and has been at the very forefront of the culture throughout its development.

With balls like that, he has got to be one happy man.
Kneaded into the basic shape, then rolled between the

upended enamel plate. The 'polish' seals the ball,
keeping the inside soft and moist.

Laurence Cherniak -- A Biography (Of Sorts)
In the beginning was the word and the word was with Laurence Cherniak. Could this be a prediction from a future mythology? We hope so but it doesn’t matter much for the word WAS with Laurence. Not, however, just the word but the image as well. And they all came together in the first of his Great Books: ‘The Great Books of Hashish; Volume One; Book One.’ What a piece de resistance, what an ouvre, what coup de grace (okay, that’s us frenched out for this issue,) what a production, what a title. And on such nice shiny paper, too.

"For some minutes [the Caterpillar] puffed away without speaking, but at last it unfolded its arms, took the hookah out of its mouth again and said, 'So you think you're changed, do you?' 'I'm afraid I am, sir,' said Alice: 'I can't remember things as I used - and I don't keep the same size for ten minutes together!' 'Can't remember what things?' said the Caterpillar."

Thank God for Hippies

"There is not a shred of hope from history or from cross-culture studies to suggest that human beings can live without psychoactive substances." Bees drop to the ground after having nectar from certain orchards. Birds get drunk off berries and then fly into windows. After cats sniff certain plants they swing at imaginary objects. Certain range weeds will make cows shake, twitch, and stumble back for more. Elephants purposely get drunk on fermented fruits..."

Eden Hashish Centre Posters and Calendars
The Eden Hashish Centre was the largest of several legal storefronts in Kathmandu that provided quality hash and grass to the tourists. Mr. Sharma, the owner, opened two shops. The original location was at 5/1 Basantpur in the famous "Freak Street" hippy district, a location that ironically now is occupied by a bank. The second shop was located at 5/259 Ombahal, said to be in the Thamel area.

When the crime is so minor, having marijuana, and the punishment is so unreasonable, taking people's homes and years of their lives, as well as a very real Twentieth century shunning, one is forced to look for deeper motives. I have come to believe that it is not the proscription of a substance but the systematic oppression of a certain kind of people. There have been a whole series of decisions made, on local, state and federal levels, to the effect that hippies, by which is meant any committed liberal persons, are undesireable and are to be banned, interdicted, harrassed, discouraged, arrested and pee-tested. It is a blatant use of police power to frighten and intimidate millions of people into giving up a heartfelt spiritual practice and lifestyle.

There are probably 25 million marijuana smokers in the United States alone, as well as millions more who if not smokers now, are still sentimental about it. The oppression to which I refer is for the purpose of keeping these millions of people off balance to minimize their political power. All those 500,000 pot smokers doing time are out of the political process, present but not able to vote. The urine test is the loyalty oath of the Nineties. The hippies are this season's Jews, this season's Reds...

Who are these people? We are the yeast that makes the dough rise. And it's not just us, there's been people like us for centuries. Before there were hippies, there were beatniks, before there beatniks, there were bohemians. The European counterculture ran away from Nazî Germany. They brought hundreds of thousands of artists and musicians and writers into this country. Before that there were people like George Bernard Shaw and Voltaire and all the way back to Socrates. There have always been that fraction of people who have said, "I want to see the truth."

George Washington Hemp Farmer

George Washington used hemp extract to ease the pain from his wooden false teeth. Thomas Jefferson grew Marijuana, and in letters written by him he mentions the seeds of one crop being particularly good. If he was only growing rope, it is unlikely that one strain would be much different than another.

Modern medicine has found that Marijuana eases the pressure inside the eyes of glaucoma sufferers, that it increases the appetites of listless chemotherapy patients, and is effective as a treatment for migraine, athsma, nausea, epilepsy, anorexia, depression, rheumatism and arthritis.

Many respected medical professionals over the years have suggested that Marijuana be re-examined as a useful medicinal plant, but powerful tobacco and plastics lobbies always seem to shout them down. Even Richard Nixon suggested while he was President that the issue be re-opened. Yet to this day it remains listed as a Schedule I narcotic with no known medical use.
