Comparing inbred retards to politicians might cause great offence to inbred retards.

err... I mean, closely-related mentally handicapped.

Seriously- mentally ill people can't help their behaviour, but governments CAN change their behaviour to benefit the people who elect them.

Jail doesn't cure addiction, never has, never will.

Hydroponics is only an alternate method of getting nutrients to the roots. The nutes are provided in a readily assimilatable form, as opposed to soil, where the roots have to extract the nutes from more complex organic matter.

The nutes the plants can use directly are the elemental nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium components. These are bound up in organic matter in regular soil grows.

There's absolutely no difference at all between what roots take out of organics and the "chemical" nutes supplied in regular hydroponic nutrient products. However, the elements are much more available to the plant in 'chemical' nutes than in organics.

Soil can't keep up with common hydroponics on plant development and thus productivity because of the ease of availability of the nutes to the plant in hydro. However, there's no magic in hydroponics which specifically increases potency- that part is pure urban myth.

Late to bed, early to rise, work like hell and advertise.

Seriously, write letters to politicians - lots of them - advocating legalisation.

Drop supportive, sensibly worded leaflets (no FUCK THE FASCISTS!! stuff) in mailboxes in areas where there's an election coming and the candidate has expressed harm-minimsation or legalisation positions.

Complain about govt wasting billions on a war-on-drugs that doesn't stop people using drugs- because prohibition doesn't work.

Encourage harm-minimisation and legalisation positions with candidates. If a candidate THINKS his/her electorate won't support drug legalisation or HM, the position won't be supported. Let the candidates know that this is what you want!

Write letters to the editor of your local paper/s supporting legalisation and HM.

In short- be an activist. Get the message out. Tell the story.

FYI, it's great fun to confront politicians with their own self-interested crap.

I had the great pleasure at a 'town meeting' of calling a candidate on the carpet about his ridiculous 'throw all the druggies in jail!!' position- when public records indicated this joker owned 3 bars, each with a record of causing problems for the local constabulary. Alcohol IS A DRUG and the one which does THE most damage to our communities. I postulated in this meeting that this guy didn't care about people doing drugs- as long as they bought their drugs from HIM.

KNOW your politician. If s/he's a hypocrite, spread the word every way you can.

First bag I bought in 1969 actually had some dirt in the bottom, and almost all bags then comtained some soil or mud. You got more seed and stem than leaf, and the leaf was what we desired. bud? what was that? i am sure it was in there but it was so "bricked" you could not distinguish the bud from
the leaf.
Then Red bud came alone, then gold bud, then Jamacan, Michmican, and then Columbian, each improving in strenght, but actually only improving in quality of harvest and curing and getting "buds" instead of a mixed bag of anything you could call pot. Then thai sticks ! And Afgani ! Oh wow!
and Home Grown was for poor people and tasted like green grass.....until someone grew some INDICA ...we called it cat shit and some ws called SKUNK weed...Indica certainly changed my pot world!

But you are right!, there certainly wasn't any buds in our nichol bags.!

Al B, I know where you're coming from with this and I tend to agree with it.

However, those of us growing illegally in wardrobes are hardly likely to want to bring attention to ourselves (or what we might be doing illegally) by becoming Cannabis Activists. A lot of people are simply not in the position to be able to draw attention to themselves in this way.

This bascially means the Medical users, growing legally must carry the 'activist' torch for the rest of us, because they can grow legally and within the law, and thus have nothing to lose by drawing attention to themselves.

I remember columbian gold for 15 bucks an Oz. The best weed I ever smoked was some Panama Red. Man what a beautiful high. That and some Nepalese white temple hash was the best high I ever had. There was a Mexican strain called Zacetegas that was wonderful and of course Acapulco gold, a classic high. When I first started smoking, all those hi-grade strains were from 15-25 bucks an OZ. Mexican Bud was 10 Bucks, Never smoked much schwag, as I knew a few upper echelon dealers. I remember a buddy of mine in Seal Beach, Ca. used to get shipments in by the hundreds of pounds in the middle of the night, Used to back a van up to his one car garage and unload. I've seen kilos stacked to the ceiling in the garage. He never got busted either. Usually a load of mexican Bud would come with a few kilos of wonder Bud, like Acapulco gold, and these were reserved for friends. The good old days for sure. The malty smell of good Bud is heavenly. The home grown varieties around now lack that aroma.
