Remember back in the "good 'ol days" I smoked some Panama Red.

I have never experienced music flowing out of a set of speakers like that before or since. And the people who were there with me agree.

That was some top notch whacky tobaccy.

BTW, a Sansui model 6 or 7 receiver, Altec Santana's stacked with Pioneer CSR-700's, and a device called an "energizer"...apparently a dynamic processor of some sort. Want to say made by Phase Linear, but it's been a long time.

'sides, pot's spossed to mess with your memory.

A British cousin sent me the following she obviously is not a fan of the current Prime Minister, but I am sure you could insert some inside the beltway names.

A man arriving at the Pearly Gates was greeted by Saint Peter.

"Welcome to Heaven my good man"

"Thank you Saint Peter, please tell me what are all those clocks behind you?"

"They are lie clocks, every time you lie it advances one minute"

"There is one that has not moved, whose is that."

"That belongs to Mother Theresa"

"Another has only moved two minutes"

"That is Abraham Lincoln's, as best we know he only told two lies"

"Well where is Gordon Brown's clock?"

"Jesus has it in his office, he uses it as a ceiling fan."

Its a double edged sword but in the end I feel legalizing it would help more then hurt.

I've never seen a violent person that was stoned. Normally they're just stupidly slow. And hungry for potato chips or twinkies.

I should have clarified what I meant about the double edge sword. That comment was meant toward legalizing drugs other then pot which I deem as harmless as tobacco.

Legalize, tax and regulate it

Unfortunatly I have. My old buddy "Steve", taken down by the FBI in KC at a Holiday Inn, 300,000 white cross, two .38's on him at the time. One traced to a murder. Fed's didn't even care about the pot he has...couple of pounds. Biggest bust the Fed's had made at the time...he used to carry the article from the KC Star to make the point. Early '70's.

Well, his family had enough money to get him off on a "nut" charge.

He came to visit once he was "out" packing K98 Mauser, proved to me that a 7.92 would pierce the frame of an old junk truck.

A little about "Steve". 6'6"" , 220 lbs.,wide at the shoulders, narrow at the hip, and the strongest SOB I've ever me in my life. If he liked you, he'd give you the shirt off of his back. If he didn't like you, you had real problems. He liked me. Farm boy.

Last time I saw Steve, I was telling him about my K98 custom, Fajen classic, exhibition grade black walnut .30.06, Star barrel...an absolute stunning weapon that I bought form another of my old "buddies". But Bill built hunting arms, and the Star barrel didn't suit him.

Anyway, Steve got all fired up, starting telling stories about kicking people in the head, leaving their eyeballs on their cheeks, gunfights going down the super slab in Houston, Tx, moving stolen cars to the Fedrerales in Mexico.

Then he went out to his truck, returned with a CAR-15, 30 mg mag stuffed with HP's, and a S&W Combat Mag, loaded the same. And Steve was beyond the point that select, or full auto meant little to him. I figgered it was time for me to leave. This has been close to 30yrs ago.

He was truly the most dangerous individual that I've ever met. In Spades.

Well, Steve up and disappered, and even his family doesn't want to know what happened.

It's a damn wonder I ain't doing life and 50. Reckon I had enough sense to git out while the gett'in was good.

And I'm not lying, any thoughts are appreciated. I'm spilling my guts.

Let me rephrase that. I've never seen get violent from smoking pot.

That particular lad IS nuts!

[merrylander]

Chas, I for one am damn glad you got out in time.
