I feel sorry for the kid that keeps getting recruited by the big goons to do their dirty work. Are they that stupid to think that no one is gonna see or smell the pot on a bicycle? Especially if you want the kid to cross the US border? They should try bicycling over the border themselves to see if this ish works. These dudes need to learn about smuggling from Pablo Escabar… lol But read up on a true story below that made news today!
PHOENIX (Reuters) – U.S. border police have nabbed a Mexican teen caught cycling over the Arizona border with a load of marijuana — his second such arrest in five days, authorities said.
Border Patrol agents in Yuma, in far western Arizona, said they arrested the 17-year-old boy pedaling a bicycle loaded with 30 pounds of pot near the Colorado River on Sunday evening.
Agents ran a records check and found they had arrested the same boy in the same area on July 14, on that occasion wheeling into the United States with 27 pounds of marijuana on his bicycle.
Mexican drug cartels frequently use youngsters to ferry narcotics over the U.S. border because as juveniles they often can avoid prosecution.
Border Patrol agents turned the unnamed bicycling youth over to the Yuma County Narcotics Task Force.

It’s so true… Sometimes when you’re feeling down and low and sad and lonely and overwhelmed with bills that have not been paid for over 5 months because your dealer increased prices of a HQ from 25 bucks to $35; you roll up a fatty and smoke that ish and BOOOM – You’re bills are still not paid, but atleast you got HIGH! -
For everything else there’s Mastercard (Because dealers are just not high-tech as yet)

Thanks to CD from Toronto for providing us with todays ‘food for thought’! Some great lessons here, especially since we already have a survival mentality after we smoke the good stuff! Thanks CD
You shouldn’t live with a “barely-get-by” attitude. You should thrive, live an abundant, overflowing life. Sometimes when things seem difficult, it’s easy to slip into a “survival mode.” When times get tough, it’s tempting to just hunker down and settle where you are. If you’re not careful, you’ll develop a survival mentality that will keep you from growing and releasing your faith. You’ll be happy just to “break even.” We’re not supposed to just break even; we’re supposed to break through to a new level! Make up your mind today that no matter how difficult things seem, you are going to thrive every day! Declare that you are rising higher. As you continue to expect and increase, you’ll see blessings in your life, and you will thrive and live in victory all the days of your life.

An interesting book that we found online… I have not read it but would love to. If anyone has read the book, leave a comment letting us know how it is.
Joyce Taylor was a nice high school girl, maybe a little wild, and when she is kicked out of school for doing a bump-and-grind number on a cafeteria table she moves to the big city and gets a job. There she meets a man who introduces her to the smoky world of jazz and before she knows it, she’s inhaled some of that sweet, sweet smoke. When the cops get in on the action the misery starts and Joyce finds herself on a roller coaster ride to oblivion. N.R. de Mexico wrote as if he knew his subject, yet refrained from getting as preachy about dope as many of his contemporaries did. The pot-smoking jazz scene of the 50s is well described and filled with smart, sympathetic people.

What is it that scares you most?
Is it the infinitude of black that will consume you in your death?
Is it the realization of your utter dispensability in the larger scheme of things? The realization that the world will continue to spin without you, the universe- continue to hum, your friends and lovers continue to live, regardless of your absence? I understand this fear because I have seen it- precipitated on the pale foreheads of the dying, their clammy fingers holding on to yours, in a desperate attempt to grasp any last wisps of life.
But for inexplicable reasons, I was never afraid. Not for them, not for myself.
Ever since I was a child, my understanding of death far superseded my understanding of life, but I wish I had more of a grasp of the latter. And yet it eludes and I am left, always, with the scent of miasma looming over my waking self; with wet mud, warm roses and worms- more real in their decadence than the six senses of a blooming life.
I fear that the only real permanence in life is death; not love, not roses, not beauty. I fear that that there is too much beauty, and my body- too little to contain it. I fear that it will all escape me, like each syncopated breath that leaves my mouth, like grains of sand that slip through my fingers.
I fear that I will live a little less because I do not fear death at all.
So I do what I must- I run; not away, but alongside, so I can stay on par with what is already fleeting. Life. I fear life, because it is more magnanimous, more mysterious than death, and yet there is nothing within in that will not crumble to dust. There is nothing that will remain untouched, untainted- not even love- the very purpose of my existence. And like all other mortal facets, I find my memory fleeting, I find myself forgetting even this- my fondest memories that I must love, and hold on to my love until I am lying in my casket, as only providence for wet mud, warm roses and worms, only another crumb of dirt that you will tread upon, someday, in your fearful walk towards the end.
They begin the same- our life, our death- with a tunnel and a brute force, an intermittent dance of shadow and light that delivers you into a vacuous unknown.
So why is it that I was more scared to arrive than I will be to depart?

Poor Paris Hilton … the heiress accustomed to the handcuffs by now thanks to her DUI’s in America can’t even catch a break in crime ridden South Africa. Apparently Paris and her friend, former Playmate of the Year Jennifer Rovero were outside the Nelson Mandela Bay stadium following the Brazil-Netherlands qarterfinal game when local cops smelled marijuana. Upon approaching Paris & Jennifer, it is alleged that a spliff was suspiciously dropped to the ground[smart thinking!!!] but they were taken into custody nonetheless. Paris Hilton is a celebrity and a legitimate heiress so naturally er charges were dropped after her friend Jennifer took the blame upon which the World Cup Special Court ordered Jennifer to pay $130 an leave South AFrica in 14 days. Well the Final’s are in a week so she’s good loll.

What a great article that reiterates what we’ve been preaching for a while now. We all know that good causes of green outweigh any negative “assumptions” that people have about it. But for some reason, we still consider a plant that is grown naturally illegal? Does not make sense to us. The pic below is of Jessica Alba doing the handy-dandy!
Why is marijuana illegal? Why is it illegal when far more dangerous drugs, like alcohol and tobacco, are legal? Despite any hesitations you may have about marijuana, the research proving that it is hardly dangerous is in. And it means something.
Sure, marijuana can make you lazy and lethargic. But so can a big meal. Sure, it can make you hear, see, or feel things in a new way, but I think most of us know that alcohol does the same thing. Except alcohol tends to bring out violence in a lot of people, extreme behavior, and cigarettes cause cancer…
My point is that it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that something is up with the legalization of marijuana, regardless of whether or not that rocket scientist smokes him/herself.
The state of California is catching on to the BS surrounding the case of marijuana and they have long been standing against it. Leading the way in legalizing marijuana for medicinal reasons, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that California is now trying to make marijuana legal for everyone.
A new initiative has been constructed that could easily end up in the November ballot. This initiative will allow for the ‘drug’ to be sold to anyone at any place that sells alcohol. It’s called The Inalienable Rights Enforcement Initiative. There are pieces of it online, and you know what? I think they’re totally right here.
With all of the life-sucking drugs that are available legally, it’s hard for me to believe that we’re a progressive country when we can’t come to terms with marijuana. Anyone else with me…and California?
