I have made a decision to NO LONGER publish any negative articles in Treating Yourself directed at others in the movement. I feel that the negativity hurts all of us as a whole. I am also extending an olive branch to EVERYONE that I have had issues with in the past in order to help make our cause stronger. We need to show the WORLD that we can get along and work with one another even if we tend to disagree on various issues.

I hope that you will join me in letting the past go for the betterment of our cause.

Take Care and Peace

You should perhaps ask yourself why you had issues with these person, then extend the "olive branch" through communiction. The past 5 years that I have been involved in cannabis activism has led me to encounter many different people with vastly different attitudes towards cannabis, legalization and the "movement".

Frankly, being a large C conservative (NOT THE PARTY) I have many difficulties with the Libertarians and Anarchists in the movement.

Additiionally as there are many many young people in the movement, the tendancy towards immature decision is quite often and normaly reactionary.

There is also the tendancy from the movement to attract hangers on and those who are very small supporters and really only want to "score some weed".. these persons I distain the most as they have no attachment to the movement.

Perhaps soul searching is required for all (myself included) to re-direction the cause after the very recent attacks by the fed (S10).

Either way.. your heart is in the right place Marco. Good for you.

self importance is the nemesis of all human relation and interaction, eliminating self importance is the crux of shamanism (healing),

the cannabusiness may be the most egocentric of all industries. it allows marginalized people freedom from "the machine" via growing some plants (subject to user). this creates a huge delusional artificial reality that gives the subject a non real sense of reality, and therefore making them the centre of the universe.

unfortunatly for them, the sun is the centre of our multiverse, and makes up 99% of our solar system, contrary to the belief that theur heads make up 99% of the mass of our solar system.

unregulated industry makes for unlimited ego haha. what happens when a bunch of kinder-gardeners are allowed to make up their own rules and run ramped in the streets? alot of broken promises, hearts and relationships. this game is a gift and a curse. and only one that the virtuous survive,

i know how you feel buddy, for every ying there is a yang, d

Good to Hear,

I just spent about 10 minutes writing a message to send to you Marco - just to thank you for your magazine & how generous your site is. I was disappointed when I tried to send it and was denied.

I would like to be able to ask a few questions of you or anyone else as to how to become more involved in the movement in Ontario, Canada for the repeal in prohibition.

I've a lot to offer in several ways. Not only have I been to college to study Multimedia and Web Programming - I'm also a visual artist. These are excellent forms of communication - which I believe are an asset to informing those in this Province, and Federally on the truth about this medicine. Sorry to drop a res. online - I just want to know how I can make it easier for myself and others' who need this medicine but are meat in the conservative grinder.

Peace.

ps, if people really cared about medicine and the community, theyd send me an afghani bullrider clone. until that happens, shadow people will still continue to fain medicine as a reason for their operations, as long as people let the corporate model of medicine dominate their medicinal approach, the battle is lost.

the med-man pumps out all his beans and cuts to those with proof of medical necessity, with out thought of monetary reward/gain. egocentricity and healing are polar opposites, so who is doing the egotism and who is doing the healing???? il let the flow of strains determine this one, d

Ha! good one Dmt you funnny!!! But just in case you score, I'll pm you my mail addie LOL
Good on you Marco, ya I'm starting to get the same internal message, the movement has many facets, and my views are just that, views. So no more ranting about the med movment weaking the cause from this guy. As long as all our goals are the same, total unrestricted legalization, how ever that happens, we stand together.
