Deep Stoner Thoughts

Considering the chicken is a mutation of the dinosaur, and the dinosaur was laying eggs eons before the chicken arrived. It seem a bit trite that people still consider the chicken and egg debate to be a philosophical exercise. Maybe I missed a Jr High Biology, or evolution lesson.. :chin:

The English language isn't too difficult, it can best be
understood though through tough thorough thought.

"Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs"

While we're talking about the English language,
this is the shortest sentence that makes sense, containing all 26 letters....

of course i had to look, here's one that's 1 letter less
the wizards reference makes it seem deep, kind of

Just this guy, ya know?
If THC is stored in the fatty tissues, can we get a cow stoned enough times that when I make a burger out of it, I get stoned?

In a word? No.


In many words?
Mo'betta, try rabbits. They are vegan, very lean, and and if you feed them only kush they will wrap, package, and poop your hash in pellets. :D

It would only work for "fed" animals if we decarb it before right? Feeding them raw shouldn't have any effect? Anybody have a rabbit I can borrow? For science.

Back in the day, we talked about using elephants.
Stuff them with good bud and immodium.
Looking for bales of hash.


He went to India to investigate.
Then smoked some killer Thai stick and had a mo'betta idea.
He bought a bear!

Got all his permits, stuffed the wooden floor of the crate with hash and had it shipped to Ca.


Real bad idea.

DEA flagged it and followed it. The driver spotted them on a mountain road.
After the first blind turn, he bailed into a pine forest and spent the night in a tree.


Now the cops had no arrest, and 100 Kilos of good hash.
Guess what happened. :)


Yup got it right the first guess.


When that hash hit the street in S.F. it was unmistakable in scent.
We called it bear piss hash.
Ah, good times.

If everyone is depressed and anxious these days, maybe those are normal feelings?

I think the term depressed is too general.

there's scared about losing your job, the terrible stress of moving because of a job loss, and the family pressures

etc etc etc.

I had a woman friend who sometimes said she was depressed when she didn't have the energy to do her Decoupage art.

She wasn't really depressed. She just got down on herself because she wasn't meeting her expectations about putting in X quality hours in the studio.

Anyway after going through that with her I thought, it's good to be specific about what Depressed means.


I think people are worried about losing their jobs.

Also I know a lot of people have trouble sleeping.

And a lot of people have been crushed by medical bills.

And more people than I can ever remember are homeless & living in their cars.

Feeling all the Overwhelm from those things, heck yeah there's a lot of that going around.

Plus complete towns like Paradise where people are trying to put their lives back together, then getting strangely harassed for Zoning violations.

Add coercion of government and that's a big enough list.


But there is one bright spot - the Supreme Court ruling about Asset Forfeitures.
:tiphat:

Basically found that a lot of state police have crossed the line.

Won't improve living conditions a lot but will help reign in police coercion of citizens, which is part of the Depressed Nation thing.

They're great words, aren't they: Anxious and Depressed. Cover everything really.

The Media is in on this you know. Every Journalist has Shares in the Valium factory and to raise the price of their Shares, they make up frightening terms like: "Increasing Global Uncertainty".

There's a few more of those terms but they escape me at the moment mostly because of short term memory loss although I am uncertain about this and think ... my background existential anxiety is increasing as I write... that it may after all be Dementia.


OH FUCK! The WORRY is endless. It's even here on this page!!!

Maybe we should call-out the journalists in a Forum named Frightening Things on the News and quote the most frightening thing they said.

Farewell .... (if you are able)

Anxious and depressed IS the new "normal". :(

The more modern expectation that everyone feel GREAT, or 'on an even keel,' all or most of the time is an abomination and insult to the roller coaster that can be -real- life and living. When people die... we might often -should- be sad. When we lose our jobs, loved ones, homes, health, physical function, children leave, pets die, liberty under the law takes a nose dive year after year... if you're smiling and fine, maybe YOU'RE the sick fucker!!

I recall an SNL skit many years ago, involving 2 women sitting on a park bench, with one telling the other how her ex got the house, the kids, the dog, etc., and the other sharing similar tales.

They shared these tales of doom and gloom with a bizarre, giddy, everything-is-fine cheeriness to it. At the end of the skit, the narrator/announcer stated something to the effect of, "This ad has been brought to you by the makers of Prozac," or some such shit.

It was hilarious.

Until we accept the reality that is, or can be, life, in all of its twistedness, joy, sadness, grief, manic moments, magic, and plain old extremes or in-betweens, we will continue needlessly diagnosing folks for things that are, or can be, COMPLETELY NORMAL REACTIONS to the things/people/experiences we encounter.

I worked in mental health for a long time. There are specific periods of time defined in the DSM as 'normal grieving periods,' and beyond that time period, it can be defined as a number of different types of depression. The expectation that we all grieve for a similar or specific period of time, is insulting and mind-blowing, in and of itself.

Says more about that profession than it does about humanity, frankly.

In the end, I say "Fuck normalcy!" It's over-rated, and a lot less fun.

No, I'm not back, rather still lurking, but just downed a 9% Imperial Blonde Ale (fermented with honey) from Glacier Brewhouse in Anchorage, Alaska (I dislike Anchor town, but they have some good shops and breweries), and am preparing to smoke a nice bowl of hash (my own) before making a double or triple batch of deluxe chicken, shrimp, ham, and Andouille sausage jambalaya, in preparation for our annual trip into the Wrangell-St. Elias Range for our remote, bush ice fishing trip for burbot and lake trout.

Good to see many of you. I've been reading your stuff..

Cheers, and looking forward to the next -meaningful- revolution!! .. waiting impatiently, too. ;^>)
