So, Are we to believe the taliban are stoners. I would assume that if they're hiding in a marijuana forest, they must be potheads. Maybe they just want foriegners to get out of their country and leave them alone to get stoned! Isn't that pretty much what all stoners want? Remember who attacked us on 911, Saudi nationals led by Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi national, Maybe the taliban had nothing to do with it. Maybe the Afganis were invaded by rich Saudis and turned into Al Queda. Maybe the reason the Saudi nationals hate The U.S.and their own Govt. is based on U.S. foriegn policy. Lot of maybes in there, but stranger things have happened, Anyway, would be nice to take a stroll through that forest. About 30 years ago on a National Geographic program on TV, I saw a show about a south American tribe that lived in a marijuana forest. The marijuana trees, yes trees, were 30+ ft. tall (10 meters+). They made a butter like substance out of the resin of the plant which they cooked all their meals with. They were a very happy smiling people. One of the elder men of the tribe climed up into a male tree and grabbed a male flower (about 4 inches in diameter) and put it up to his nose, squeezed it and inhaled the pollen, He then slithered down the tree and sat at the base convulsing for a few seconds. That must have been some good shit! Anyway I've looked far and wide to see that program again so I could tape it as no-one believed me. I'll bet the Govt. confiscated that film and chastised the National Geographic society for showing it as at that time the drug wars were hot and heavy! I've also heard that some tribes in Central America-Southern Mexico, have some very spiritual weed ceremonies where the shaman controls the minds of the people and anyone that breaks the vows of the tribe can be killed by having their heart stopped by the shaman even though they may be hundreds of miles away. In the '60's a couple of hippies stumbled onto this and participated in a ritual, supposiedly, one of them f--d up and died in NYC of massive heart failure, no word on the other one. Weird stories of the THC plant and cultures. Someone with investigative reporting as a background should make a documentary of these happenings. I also saw (around that time-'70's) a Geographic program about a tribe in the mountains of Nepal that cooked with MJ butter, also a very smiley people!
