I love this it is great, total genius!

The Flower

The Flower contrasts a utopian society that freely farms and consumes a pleasure giving flower with a society where the same flower is illegal and its consumption is prohibited. The animation is a meditation on the social and economic costs of marijuana prohibition.

Being stopped and searched on the streets in London

I have been stopped and searched quite a few times particularly when i was a teenager, maybe 7, maybe more, I have lost count. Nevertheless, it has always resulted in nothing more than a few cautions and they have never found anything more substantial than a small amount of weed.

Cannabis: My least worrying vice

I probably smoked cannabis for the first time when I was about 15. I bought some in school and presumably as a first time buyer I got ripped off.

If only you could actually smoke it

Facebook applications in their various forms are nothing new and have been the curse of news-feeds around the world for some time. The staggering success of these pointless applications has taken everyone involved in their creation by surprise. The “Farmville” game now has an astounding 82million users, generating revenue of over $50million a month!!

Today sees the launch of the Nike SB’s High Premium “Skunk” Dunk.

Despite a design and name that appears to make clear reference to ‘skunk’ cannabis, Nike have placed a skunk, the animal on the inner sole of the shoe which seems strange after all skunks like Pepe Le Peu are black and white.

Whilst skunk, the high potency strain of cannabis has a number of different greens and quite often purple flowers and has silvery crystal ‘hairs’ over its surface.

Trauma, sleep deprivation and cannabis

I'm very sensitive to the effects of drugs, as well as a lot of other things e.g. medications, essential oils, even food and drink. I think I am sensitive to drugs because I had a rather traumatic childhood and people with a troubled upbringing tend to be on alert all the time, even unconsciously, it's a skill they develop to stay out of trouble. Knowing that something unpleasant or scary is going to happen to you but never knowing when, can cause you to develop a high sensitivity or intuitiveness to minimise your risk of harm.
