Charges Dismissed Against Loretta Nall; Happy 4/20 To All of Y'all! Posted in Chronicle Blog by Phillip Smith on Fri, 04/20/2007 - 5:42pm Alabama housewife turned activist Loretta Nall is out from under the long arm of the law, with the marijuana charges against her dropped as Cannabis Nation celebrates its unofficial national holiday, 4/20. She was arrested over an alleged roach after a pro-marijuana legalization letter she wrote to the Birmingham News prompted police and officials at her daughter's school to improperly interrogate the young child. The letter and the child's statements were the basis of the search warrant that led to her arrest. She was convicted…

Shortly I’ll be visiting my old Teacher. He’s a returned man: Second World War. Allegedly held the record for fastest at transmitting Morse code. Used to head the oldest Order in continuous existence in the southern hemisphere - probably. Taught me more than I care to confess, especially to him. So I’ll be taking him an Agung Buddy, a plastic ball-shaped grinder for his elderly hands, a cheap gas-lighter and something to make it all worthwhile. He knows I’m coming and he’s excited. Said he’s going to toast with Drambuie. So I’ll get there. Organise some coffee. Give him his presents and take it from there. I know I’m supposed to be cooking lunch with enough over for…

Poverty: The Only Thing Money Can’t Buy! “…place central importance on the great conflict which is eternally waged between Liberty and Power .... I see the liberty of the individual not only as a great moral good in itself ... but also as the necessary condition for the flowering of all the other goods that mankind cherishes: moral virtue, civilization, the arts and sciences, economic prosperity.” Conceived in Liberty, Volume II Murray Newton Rothbard …

Paul_Perrett_Orders_in_Council_Statement.docDivinatory Experiences (And sundry matters) Dedicated to Ruen, Baron Jay of Ewelme & Mr. Price CBE QC I don’t advise consulting the tarot when stoned, although I have done. The intelligences which govern it are Mercurial and unscrupulous in deceiving the diviner. This does not mean that they are malignant; they just have a proper pride in their office as Oracles of Truth. In short, if you ask party-time questions you will get part-time answers! A few months short of a decade ago I became involved in some political matters. The consequences of this have been life changing. At one time I had a woman, a profession, a home…

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Weigh a Pie “Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets…?” I took up the tobacco pipe in or about 1980 – I think. Gazbo took it up just after me. We smoked Amphora Black Cavendish. Cloying memories of sweet tobacco smoke in the backroom of Nana’s house because she thought that it added the room-note of a man. Rich and luxuriant in the meandering traditions of patient men, contented to silently reflect while the nicotine intimately massaged the pleasure centres of our souls. You cannot get Amphora Black anymore. Generally Gaz and I would light incense then take the sacrament in my cramped Study and thereafter smoke our pipes an…

Nothing else to do on a quiet day at work than find interesting stuff to read So here's another one USA -- Two recent studies should be the final nails in the coffin of the lie that has propelled some of this nation's most misguided policies: the claim that smoking marijuana somehow causes people to use hard drugs, often called the "gateway theory." Such claims have been a staple of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy under present drug czar John Walters. Typical is a 2004 New Mexico speech in which, according to the Albuquerque Journal, "Walters emphasized that marijuana is a 'gateway drug' that can lead to other chemical dependencies." The…

Take part in drugs survey, drivers urged or Fuck off ,do you think were stupid enough to help you fuck us over! February 7, 2007 - 11:35PM SMH online Motorists are urged to have their say in a national survey on community attitudes towards drugs and driving. Information is limited on the prevalence of drug-driving, particularly in rural areas, but research last year found more than one in 10 drivers had driven after using recreational drugs. Dr Jane Mallick, director of the Australian Drug Foundation's (ADF) Centre for Youth Drug Studies, said the new national survey would target a wide cross-section of Australians in city and regional areas. She said the…
