City Leaders Help Pass Out Free Marijuana Medicine at City Hall

By: Bud Life Reporter

Santa Cruz, CA (BL) - While a shiny unmarked green helicopter circled over city hall, city leaders showed compassion for seriously ill and terminal patients and support for local marijuana growers Mike and Valerie Corral by passing out free marijuana to a dozen local patients. We haven't seen a rally like this since the National Guard was called out to protect Berkeley's People's Park in 1971. Over 20 news cameras lined up on the left to record this historical event, while patients already lined up in wheelchairs waited for their medicine.

Trip to Cuba to Meet the Cuban Ladies, and Bedtime Stories with Snoopy Dog - continued...

By: Travelin'

Going to Cuba is like entering the Twilight Zone where time stopped about 1960. Mostly old Chevies, Fords, and other US made cars are seen on the roads. A few newer Russian cars exist, but the fact that old US cars are mostly seen on the roads gives the sense that time was stopped in Cuba. Some creative Cubans have taken out back seats of US cars and converted them to pick up trucks. Walking around Havana and seeing no US cars after 1959 dates the country and gives the illusion that in Cuba time stopped sometime before 1960. If you are a collector of cars before 1960, Cuba is your haven.

Drugs and Euthanasia in The Viet Nam War and Did Nixon Blame Pot for losing the War

By: A former U.S. Army Field Medic

In 1967 as a high school prank my friend and I stole a pair of size 3 "kids" ice skates out of a car. We got busted for vehicular burglary. The judge gave us a choice, volunteer for Viet Nam or 180 days in jail. I had heard that defending yourself with a dust pan from under the jail bunk beds didn't always keep you from getting butt-fucked. I decided to join the Army and go to Viet Nam, and my friend decided to join the Air Force. So our judge used his connections with the draft board and got me into the Army and my friend into the Air Force.

Cowards

By: Elmore Stone

Or, cock-suckers by any other name.

It made me sick. Down right sick. Reading about the "raids" by agents of (purportedly) our federal government.

Party

By: Nol van Schaik

1972.

Weesperzijde 53, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Not just an address in Holland, but the birthplace of a Dutch phenomenon that is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year, the hash coffee shop. The first 'official' hash outlet in the world, the Mellow Yellow, was an initiative of Wernard Bruining and his friends, following a period of selling hash from an apartment, and turned out to be the first business in a mind-expanding branch, the cannabis business.
