Cannabis Enhancing plant South African Bushmen have been chewing kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) for hundreds of years to reduce stress, relieve hunger and elevate their moods. Now there are plans to market the exotic plant worldwide as a new over-the-counter drug, according to PhysOrg.com. The first license ever issued to market kanna was given to the South African company HGH Pharmaceutical, who intend to sell it as a dietary supplement. "We're positioning [the product] for everyday people who are having a stressful time in the office, feeling a bit of social anxiety, tension or in a low mood," said Nigel Gericke, director of research at HGH. Though the company intends to produce their kanna product in pill form, the plant is traditionally chewed, smoked or made into a tea. At intoxicating levels, kanna taken alone can cause euphoria and sedation. "It's a product with huge potential," said Ben-Erik Van Wyk, a University of Johannesburg botanist.
The 10 Most Successful Potheads on the Planet… Cool Enough to Admit It An unemployed porno addict, sitting in his parents’ basement, playing video games, eating Lucky Charms out of the box with one hand while he lazily scratches his balls with the other. A dread-lock having, patchouli oil smelling, tie-die wearing, Phish listening, hula-hoop twirling space cadet. A burger flipping, acne having, socially inept, friendless loser… These are the common stereotypes associated with the term ‘pothead’. Where these stereotypes originated remains a mystery to us. Sir Richard Branson While the ‘Sir’ in front of this guy’s name puts him in some very elite company, it doesn’t automatically get him on this list. Rick Steves Your name doesn’t become synonymous with ‘European Travel’ by accident. Aaron Sorkin In fairness to tokers around the world, Sorkin is a bit more of a ‘drug addict’ than he is ‘pothead’. Michael Phelps Mr. Barack Obama Almost every American President before Barry, from Washington to Clinton to Bush, has had a pot addled past. Michael Bloomberg Ted Turner
Stop the federal pot raids A months-long crackdown on medical marijuana by federal prosecutors has reached new heights with this week's raids on Oakland dispensaries. It's time to call off the overboard tactics and deal sensibly with regulating a drug that increasing numbers of Americans feel poses little harm. The latest incident only furthers the tone-deaf image of the U.S. It's a ridiculous stance that mocks a serious issue. But Prohibition Era-style sweeps won't work. Second, easing the availability of medical marijuana also has lowered the public's fear factor of the drug. Finally, the federal raids ignore the core of the issue: bridging the gap between unbending federal controls and growing numbers of states, including California, that want updated consideration of the drug. To be sure, court rulings and legal obstacles make change difficult. Yet this confusion doesn't excuse this week's raids.

Divination for Beginners | DailyWicca Divination is the practice of determining the unknown by the manipulation and observation of tools recognized by their users as possessing the ability to provide such information. The ancient art of divination has never lost its popularity. Even today, in our largely materialistic world, we perform age-old rites to discover the shape of the future. In its many forms, divination is as much a part of our lives as it was in the ancient world. The practice of foretelling the future through the use of tools predates history and so we have no record of the first culture that acted upon its desire to peer into tomorrow. Perhaps the earliest forms consisted of gazing into lakes, watching the smoke rising from cooking and heating fires, and observing the shapes of clouds. In the great cultures of the past, divination was usually linked with religion. After many centuries of practice, however, it became obvious that this concept could easily be challenged. Why Is the Past of Importance?

Drink Marijuana Tea for a healthy heart Tea is a popular drink, and it can soothe the soul, help you sleep, and some kinds of tea are even good for a healthy heart. The popularity of tea has really risen over the last decade or so, with a lot of people choosing to drink it over things like soda, juice, or coffee. Many people may not realize that there is such a thing called marijuana tea. It is made from, you guessed it, marijuana! It is made fairly easily, simply by infusing marijuana into hot water. Since marijuana is fat soluble, marijuana tea does not offer up the “high” that simply smoking or cooking it in butter or oil would. By adding some milk to the marijuana tea, you may get more of the adverse affects from the cannabis sativa plant. Copyright 1999-2006 HempNut, Inc.
