We all know bob marley was an advocate of marijuana an that he indulged in some heavy duty marijuana toking .. perhaps teh reason why hes written some pretty powerful an thought provoking songs in his short life … have a look at a marijuana plantation … unsure if this actually is a plantation by bob marley’s grave site or @ his home but its a marijuana plantation nonetheless ….

Yep, Saint Cannabis, that’s the holy saint, the patron saint etc for the pot religion. Well atleast that’s what a U.S. man who claims marijuana is the main sacrament of his religion says a drug charge against him means he’s being prosecuted for his beliefs.

Trevor Douglas of the state of Colorado says he belongs to the Hawaii-based THC Ministry and you know what he wasn’t lying. There is infact a THC ministry based out of Hawaii an their motto is “We use Cannabis religiously and you can, too.”

Douglas told the Vail Daily newspaper that his religion is similar to Christianity and that the use of pot is sacred to him just like wine and bread are sacred to Christians. Pretty good argument if you think about it. I mean alcohol is widely accepted in our culture an even consumed in religious places soooo…..

According to the THC ministry website, it has offices in Los Angeles, Montana and Colorado. Hey maybe, the colorado branch of THC ministry will have a booth at the Aspen marijuana festical. For more info on this religion check out http://www.thc-ministry.org/

When you think of Aspen, Colorado, your mind immediately strays to visions of posh ski resorts, celebrities an ohh yeah thats where the alleged Kobe Bryant sexual asault charge stemmed from as well, Aspen. But in a news development this week: A cannabis festival in Aspen this spring will be the first in Colorado for approved growers to put their strains in a contest. The Western Slope Cannabis Crown will have about 50 medical marijuana growers enter their strains of weed. The marijuana strains will be diagnostically tested for their THC levels.

“We want to get the best of the best in there,” said the festival’s organizer, Bobby Scurlock. The festival is being patterned after Amsterdam’s Cannabis Cup competition held each November. Growers at the Colorado contest will also be able to sell to medical marijuana patients, who will vote on a “people’s choice” strain. There will also be entries for edible forms of marijuana, such as cannabis-infused brownies.

Only Colorado registered medical marijuana users will be able to buy products from vendors, which will have to occur outside of the conference at an Aspen hotel. Scurlock said the marijuana sampling will most likely be in a private condo or room where the providers are staying.

“This is not about pot heads running around the streets,” Scurlock said. “This conference is to enlighten people and talk about the benefits, and its economic impact.” Scurlock said the event April 17-18 is nearly sold out, with 1,500 tickets sold. Tickets are $25. Nathan Traul, co-owner of High Country Caregivers, said as many as 400 strains could be featured at the conference. Now that could only mean one thing i.e. more & more ingenious names for strains. Weirdest one that I’ve come across was the Devil’s Widow. Sheer Ingenious.

As a writer my job is to bring to the surface all of the thoughts that a common average person thinks but cannot express. I formulate the sentences that would relate to what someone is experiencing but cannot find the words to lay them out on a platter for the world to see. I do that. I write roles for people, I write situations, I write the problem and I write the solution.

My life is a set of well orchestrated words. My blogs aren’t filled with my shenanigans on how much pot I smoke or how often I do it. It’s more the thoughts that run through my head when I’m at that high. Sometimes even when I’m not.

I wonder why I’m still blogging here. I haven’t in sometime because I don’t usually just blog for the sake of me having to say something. I just do it when I have something to say. I’m writing now because I think I can say in the past one month I’ve lived more on the edge than I ever have in my entire life and I love it.

I’ve always been the kind of person who needs to know what is happening, where it’s leading to, have a backup plan in case my initial plan fails and then go one step further to have a backup plan in case my backup plan fails to work. In another term you could call me a “Control Freak”. But I’ve finally learned what “letting go of your inhibitions” actually means. I’ve lived in a bubble wrapped world my entire life. Shielding myself away from people, not wanting to get too close, not wanting to give them the power to hurt you but if there’s one thing I’ve learned is when you build walls you not only shut people out, you also fence yourself in. Sitting alone in a fenced world is a lonely place to be.

Sometimes you meet people who are nothing you’ve ever wanted but everything you ever need. People who are your tug out of the lurch. People go through life making plans. At 25 I will be married. At 30 I shall have my dream job. At 40 I will join an exclusive club. People are always trying to write out their own destinies. It’s my job to write and after a whole lot of trial and test methods I have realized that there is nothing known as a perfect story. Just badly written ones. The ones you don’t write about are the ones worth remembering. It’s a tad hypocritical since I document close to everything but now I’m not going to document what I want, just what makes me happy. All I needed was the tug out of the lurch to realize that you are special, precious and don’t let anyone make you believe otherwise.

Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned
So I call it a lesson learned
My soul has returned
So I call it a lesson learned
Another lesson learned.

Hoooooly… RIP. But below is the song that puts you    mellow ‘ let’s get high and kick back’ kinda moood!

Yes yes I know that chelsea has a game in hand and that the season is not over but nothing you say is gonna knock the gunners fans tonight especially after coming back from two goals down. Determination & Grit an from a such a young team … priceless priceless …. well the acid test for Arsenal starts a week from now when they face Aston Villa an then welcome the champions Manchester United to the emirates on the last weekend of this month followed by a trip to stamford bridge to face Chelsea followed by a game with Liverpool. Yep thats the fixture list for Arsenal an lemme be the first one to say this that if the gunners come out on top following this horrid fixture list then there’s no stoppin us. Ohh by the liverpool beat tottenham to move upto sixth spot and just a point away from that coveted fourth spot. I’d rather see anyone in that spot other than tottenham or worse manchester city.

As the clock winds down to the start of 2010 Winter Olympics in British Columbia, Canada, we have look at one of their heroes from 1998 Winter Olympics: Ross Rebagliati.

The gold medal winner in the first ever Olympic snowboarding competition, Rebagliati is a long-standing member of British Columbia’s legendary cannabis community. Rebagliati has been called everything from “hero” to “pot head”, and to many Canadians, he is both. Rebagliati’s gold medal was threatened by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for trace levels of marijuana found in his system during routine post-competition urine tests. The ensuing controversy brought out sympathy for the rogue slope-slider from unexpected quarters. Many once hard-line anti-pot people were heard to be muttering “Just give him the medal, it’s only pot!”.

Being told of a failed drug test is a nightmare for any athlete. “To hear I had some kind of issue with my drug test put me into a cold sweat,” said Ross Rebagliati, who won the first gold medal in snowboarding at the 1998 Nagano Games. Rebagliati was stripped of the medal because of the positive test, then had it returned after officials realized marijuana was not on the list of banned substances at the time. We tried acquiring the list of banned substances but so far the Olympic Commitee has not responded to our request.
