Don't say no, it could become your biggest regret in life.

We all know that most folks refer to themselves as good Christians. Therefore, they should heed the Bible's teachings that God "causes grasses to grow for cattle and herbs for the good of man. So that he may bring forth good fruit to the earth.


~ Psalm 104:14




"By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither ... their fruit shall be for food, and the leaves for medicine"

~ Ezekiel 47:12






I have read that when the word calamus is used in the Old Testament (as in Exodus or Song of Songs) it is an early form for the word cannabis (often said to be kaneh bosm or some such form). Don't know Hebrew so I don't know this for certain but it makes sense since it refers to health matters. Small wonder why so many in that era worshiped the good grass. :)

On the internet, I presume?
Before internet there were things called books. Some of us have read them and gleaned a lot of information long before computers became a household word. I know that might be hard for some of the younger whipper snappers around here, but it is true.

So, if you know it's in a book, you should be able to cite it, yes?

Or keep throwing up dust, Fauxcahontas.

Not really. After reading hundreds of books over a 50+ year period. it is sometimes hard to remember which book or author the info came from. I think gopher may be even older than me and may have read even more books that I did. Do you have total recall of every book you've read? I have only ever met one person who could.

OK, so this is unsourced, uncited opinion based on something gopher may or may not have read at some point in the last century, with such modifications to his memory as follow his desires.

OK, sounds pretty authoritative to me.

this is the 420 thread. No one should be able to practice annoyance, flipancy, or passive aggressiveness. What would Cheech or Chong say?
