Ninth Circuit Blocks DEA Hemp Rule

By: Hemp Industries Association

In March the Court granted the hemp industry's Motion to Stay the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA's) "interpretive" rule, which was issued October 9, 2001 without public notice or opportunity for comment and would have banned the sale of nutritious hemp foods containing harmless trace amounts of naturally-occurring THC under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) of 1970. In the week of March 4 the industry had learned that the Ninth Circuit's Motions panel had referred the industry's Motion to Stay to the Merits panel, who had in turn scheduled expedited oral argument for April 8. Due to this turn of events, the industry had not expected that a ruling would be forthcoming on their Motion to Stay and was happily surprised to learn that the motion had been granted.

The Motion to Stay was brought jointly by the Hemp Industries Association (HIA) and several major hemp food companies in the U.S. and Canada. The court is currently hearing a substantive challenge to the interpretive rule, and in light of this ruling, the hemp industry is optimistic that the Court will ultimately invalidate DEA's rule, as one of the prime criteria in granting the Stay was whether the hemp industry is likely to ultimately prevail on the merits of the case. Because trace infinitesimal THC in hemp seed is non-psychoactive and insignificant, the U.S. Congress exempted non-viable hemp seed and oil from control under the CSA, just as Congress exempted poppy seeds from the CSA, although they contain trace opiates otherwise subject to control. The hemp industry is assuring retailers and consumers that hemp food products should continue to be stocked, sold and consumed. Joe Sandler, counsel for the HIA, stated: "The Court's order effectively prevents DEA from enforcing its 'Interpretive Rule' until a final ruling by the Court on the validity of DEA's action. With this stay in effect, all those who sell, import, manufacture, distribute and retail edible hemp oil and seed, and oil and seed products, can continue those activities secure in the knowledge that such products remain perfectly lawful."

Hemp seed has a well-balanced protein content and the highest content of essential fatty acids (EFAs) of any oil in nature: EFAs are the "good fats" that, like vitamins, the body does not produce and requires for good health. Dr. Udo Erasmus, an internationally recognized nutritional authority on fats and oils, writes in Fats that Heal - Fats that Kill: "Hemp seed oil may be nature's most perfectly balanced oil." Not surprisingly, shelled hemp seed and oil are increasingly used in natural food products, such as corn chips, nutrition bars, hummus, nondairy milks, breads and cereals. In the last few years, the hemp foods industry has grown from less than $1 million a year to over $5 million in retail sales.

The court ruling allows the hemp foods industry segment to continue its phenomenal expansion. Popular hemp foods include pretzels, tortilla chips, energy bars, waffles, bread, salad dressing, cereal, cooking oil, ice cream and even non-dairy milk. Unlike the U.S., other Western countries (Canada, Germany Australia) have adopted rational THC limits for foods, similar to those voluntarily observed by North American hemp food companies which protect consumers with a wide margin of safety from any psychoactive effects or workplace drug-testing interference. The 10-year-old global hemp market is a thriving commercial success. Unfortunately, because DEA's drug-war paranoia has confused non-psychoactive industrial hemp varieties of cannabis with psychoactive "marijuana" varieties, the U.S. is the only major industrialized nation to prohibit the growing and processing of industrial hemp.

Sex and Pot at the Playboy Mansion

By: Shayreen

Sex and Pot at the Playboy Mansion I loved the other story about the Playboy Mansion so I had to tell mine. I was a 23 year old, 105 pound, beautiful black call girl when I went to a party at the Playboy Mansion for C.A.T. CAT stands for California Advocates of Trollopy, or more plainly stated, prostitution. There were movie stars, sports figures, politicians and Judges in attendance. One of the sponsors was a woman, a Federal Judge. I was in awe as I arrived at the mansion in a limo with some of my female co-workers and our Madam from Sausalito. This was not only an equal rights, but a civil rights event for me. I never expected to go to such a lavish party, but lavish it was. After an hour I never got out of the main entry hall. People were mingling and champagne was flowing everywhere.

I stayed close to my blonde co-worker who I had an intimate relationship with and we kept each other in sight, until I ran into a young white man who offered me some SMOKE. It was perfect as my blond friend really liked his big tall friend and she was hanging out with him. The man who offered me smoke was handsome and I immediately knew I wanted to do him for free. He looked so cool with his dealer's diamond pinky ring, buckskin suede pants, and from my experience I knew he had a big one. I kept thinking that if he was smoking grass, he would have enough stamina for my kinky needs. I was anticipating that if I got charged up on some good smoke he would feel real solid inside of me, and satisfy my greedy pleasures.

The truth is I felt outcast by the mostly all white party crowd and I was happy that this man wanted to party with me. I said, "Sure," and he says, "Lets go out by the pool." There were people everywhere but no colored parrots outside when I was there. I loved my work and as I walked following this new stranger outside into the yard and with each stride my lips were rubbing back and forth getting my panties wet in anticipation. He stopped in the black darkness lighted only by the shimmering light from the blue bottom swimming pool. He pulled out a joint and fired it up. What a gentleman. As I took a hit I felt a rush come over me and got more horny if that was possible. I couldn't hold back, as I stretched onto the tiptoes of my high heels and grabbed his big dick while hugging him with my other arm at the same time. I was tingly all over as I felt his joint respond to me. I asked if we could give my girlfriend some smoke and he said, "O.K." I led him back inside the mansion by pulling him by his joint all the way across the lawn. I could feel him responding with a big boner as we approached the mansion and I knew he was ready to have me before we met up with my girlfriend. We didn't care what anybody else thought.

I whispered to my girlfriend and she told me that she was headed out to smoke a joint with my man's friend. Then we all went out past the pool and into a rock cave where we smoked another joint and I closely examined my new friend's joint. I had my man's zipper down and on his end he was already wet. This made me even more wet, and I had an orgasm in that cave. I lifted up my dress jumped onto him humping him right there in front of our friends. I looked back and saw my girlfriend who was already blowing his friend. He was inside me for a wonderful while, and then pulled back. He said, "Look I like you and I want you, but let's go back inside." From all the men I'd had, I must tell you, he had some real self control. I was shocked out of my wet fantasy, when he said, "Let's go into the main bathroom, and fuck our brains out." I couldn't argue with his line.

We hurried out of the cave, back to the mansion's entry room and went into the main bathroom. He locked the door and he pulled up my short skimpy party dress past my nylons and pulled my panties to the side. I felt my garter belt tug as he did an abrupt slippery slide into me doggy style. He was so cool as he lifted me up, held me tight, rocked me. He looked into my eyes through the reflection in the big vanity mirror. White and black, we made a beautiful couple in that bathroom mirror. I was creaming all over him and we just got hotter and wetter. He was my slip and slide while I teetered on the tips of my 4" high heels. I'm in shape and I've had a lot of men, but he was really special. My perfect fit. Finally I couldn't take it anymore and I wanted to please him as much as he had pleased me. I pursed my lips around his wet joint and joined my lips to his circumcision. It felt like I was playing with a big round cherry in my mouth as I wildly licked my tongue in circles. I had a burst of speed and licked him like I was preciously saving the falling drops from a melting scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day. Finally I gave him his fix, as he hit his peak, rolled his eyes back, and gave me my favorite lemony taste. I was like a satisfied kitten lapping up a bowl of cream. Then he really surprised me a he never got small. I had made him hornier than ever. He lifted me up into the sink and did me again. We tied up this bathroom for about 45 minutes. Not only was he still ready and at attention, but he had more lemon juice for me. I never met a man like this before and in my former occupation I thought I had met them all.

When we left the bathroom we had a lot of looks from other partygoers. We had tied up that bathroom and I guess we both had that satisfied 'fuck me' look. My girlfriend came up and said she wanted to go back to the hotel with his friend for the night. He was talking to my man, and so we walked out the front door. Somebody called for their black limo, and the 4 of us got in for a champagne and smoking ride to the Beverly Wilshire. That's the hotel where they later filmed Beverly Hills Cop and Pretty Woman. We went up to their room and jumped into the shower and then into a bed. We satisfied each other many times during the next 2 hours, finally passing out from our passionate love making. While I didn't see much of the Playboy Mansion, or meet many people I will always remember that night. When we left the Mansion I remember seeing the security cameras too.

To this day I still wonder if that mansion bathroom had a two way mirror.

How to Clone

By: Mr. Greenfingers

How to clone What is a clone you may ask yourself. Clones are the fastest way to grow your own, and it's easier than you might think. All you do is grow a big bush, determine that it's a female, and clip off the top or branches. The cut on an angle should leave about 3 inches of stem which you should not touch near the cut. You roll the cuttings in a powder or liquid rooting solution, which promotes root growth. The powder is easier to use and less toxic than the liquid which must be diluted and heavy rubber gloves used. Labels caution that nerve damage can occur if you get too much of the solution on your skin. While it may harm people it won't hurt a plant. Please be very cautious and read and follow all directions and labels when using root hormone, fertilizers, and other chemicals. The dipped cuttings should immediately be placed into a growing medium like Peat Pellets where the cutting will live and eventually sprout roots in about 10 days. Peat Pellets cost about $3.00 for a 20 pack and when soaked in water for about 5 minutes, will expand from 1/4 inch to about 2". The cutting is then stuck about half to 3/4 of the way down and into the wet pellet. Water is poured about half way to the top of the pellet. Schultz' liquid plant food is easy to use per it's instructions.

The benefit of cloning is that if your first plant is about 2 to 3 months old, your clone cutting is already very mature. This beats growing seeds and waiting for big leaves and maturity. When the white roots show growing out of the sides of the Pellet and into the water, it's time to transplant your clone to a larger pot. Some prefer growing in a balanced liquid fertilizer solution called hydroponics, as opposed to growing in earth. Experiment with both and make your own decision.

I prefer earth, as different balances and bud colors can come out from red clay, black soils, and other mixes. If using a hard soil like red clay it's wise to mix the soil with about 50% vermiculite so the roots can penetrate the soil.

Lighting is important to this process. The big plant should stay lit for about 16-18 hours, and the clones, after a month or so, should be lit for only 12 hours. The lighting time is what makes the plants bud and produce THC. Long hours of light will keep the plant from budding. When the lighting is cut back, the plant is tricked into thinking it's time to bud, and await seed production (winter is coming?). As it is tricked with less light it will produce sticky hairs containing THC which is the super glue ready to catch the male flowers and pollen. If you have no males, the THC will over react and keep producing more THC than normal while waiting for the pollen which never comes. When your clones are budding and all nice and hairy, the hairs will eventually turn golden to rusty brown, you need to determine when it's harvest time. Don't be too anxious, but don't let the hairs get dried out either. Clip or cut the clone stem at the root and let it dry for about 10 days. Most people dry these upside down, or in a horizontal rack. If you dry it too fast or dry it in an oven it will be harsh, and some of the THC content evaporated. Remember be patient in all you do and you will reap your reward. Good growing!
