y alcohol itself is a dangerous drug. Indeed,
marijuana's dangers... seem no greater than the documented deleterious effects of alcohol.
If the question before us were a national referendum to decide whether we would use...
either alcohol or marijuana, I might personally vote for marijuana—but that is not the
question"49] Physicians say that the damage to society following the legalization and
widespread usage of marijuana would only be additive to the harm inflicted by alcohol.
Whatever thousand deaths traceable to alcohol we actually experience now would be
increased by a considerable number if marijuana restrictions were removed.
... the existence of alcoholism and skid rows is not an argument in favor of
cannabis but one against it. If alcohol has ruined six million lives in this
country, how can it possibly be an argument for permitting cannabis to do
the same, or worse? Logic compels those who argue against alcohol to
excuse cannabis to take another stand: they should be arguing for the
control of alcohol and the elimination of its evils, not for the extension of
those or similar evils to a wider segment of society.
The attack on alcohol implicitly acknowledges the evils of cannabis and
goes on to urge that we let two wrongs make a right.... legalization of
cannabis will in no way alleviate the problems of alcoholism but is very
likely to add problems of another sort.... one drug is as socially and
personally disruptive as the other. The question is whether we, as a nation,
can afford a second drug catastrophe.50]
A Minority Opinion
Although mainstream medical opinion holds marijuana to be damaging, potentially
dangerous and, on the whole undesirable, a minority of doctors demure. We have claimed
(17 of 25)4/15/2004 1:04:59 AM
The Marijuana Smokers - Chapter 5
that the dominant view of physicians is that marijuana is a dangerous drug, capable of
causing adverse psychic reactions and psychotic episodes. Yet David E. Smith, physician,
toxicologist, pharmacologist, and director of the Haight-Ashbury Medical Clinic in the
midst of a heavy drug-using population, writes that he has never seen a "primary
psychosis" among his 30,ooo patients, and, outside the clinic, he says that he has
witnessed only three cases of marijuana-induced psychosis—"extreme paranoid reactions
characterized by fear of arrest and discovery."51]
I have stated that most physicians dismiss the pothead's point that marijuana is less
dangerous than alcohol as irrelevant. Yet, Joel Fort, a physician, claims that alcohol is the
most dangerous of all drugs currently available in America, whether legally or illegally.
He has developed a scheme characterizing dimensions of drug "hardness," i.e.,
dangerousness. Fort's feeling is that any impartial observer will arrive at least the
following list of dimensions of hardness: addiction (or psychic dependency), insanity,
tissue damage, violence, and death. Thus, some drugs may be hard in one way The only side effect reported by the subjects taking 5-HTP was stomachache, of which there were 41 instances during the entire three-year trial. In the placebo group, there were only 10 instances of stomachache, but also 118 instances of nausea and 78 of abdominal pain. This is not inconsistent with the very few side effects other studies have reported by those taking 5-HTP. These results may be explained by 5-HTP's ability to reduce hypersensitivity to pain. Moreover, in the study, eosinophilia (elevation of the special white blood cells associated with inflammation) was not reported in the 5-HTP group; in the control group, there was one case.

In some indoor set-ups a fan can be used to extract any

Not only that but plants love fresh air and wind, so the fan can

can be purchased from most grow shops. It helps to get rid of cannabis

OUTDOOR SECURITY
As we have said before the best way to secure your outdoor
garden plants is via a shelter. One must also remember that some
outdoor plants do smell and this can carry over a short distance given
the right wind and the right climate. Most people would not know
what the smell is but some DO! Many growers get around this problem
by growing cannabis plants that have very little smell during
flowering. These types of strains are listed by most seed-banks. Again
you should ask about strains that have low smell levels. All Cannabis
plants smell to some degree during flowering.

They're funny plants when it comes to cuttings. They seem to be much slower to take than most, but the huge
amount of vigor that is inherent in the breed means that the cuts don’t die- they just hang around and don't
do much. I took cuttings of my over-wintering mother which took about 3 weeks to take- during this time, the
cuts didn’t look ill, and didn’t grow, they just 'existed'. The mother plant doesn’t do well indoors- mine seemed
to get freaked out and started to flower. It flowered though most of winter, then suddenly decided to revert, I
don’t know why. The smoke is good- smooth, sweet, menthol/lemony. It has a lot of central and south American Sativa in its
ancestry. The high is long lasting and 'happy'- a day-time smoke. The buds are long and thin. I noticed two
phenotypes (ratio 14:2)- 14 plants had broad, long leaves, high vigor, high yield; 2 were much shorter
(finishing at 4-5'), more compact, started flowering earlier, but didn’t mature as well, more susceptible to mold,
thinner leaves. Some of the large phenotype flowered with pistils the color of pink-grapefruit.
Its not the easiest plant I've grown, and this may account for why its not more common, but its well worth it. It
definitely is mold resistant beyond any doubt. These plants get the yield from the size of the plant, not the
density of the buds, so try to ensure a good size by July, and DONT pinch it out. I'm hoping for 3 or 4 ounces
per plant this year- I've put them into my best patch.” – retro13
ommon grow time is 3 to
4 months. All this is dependent on the strain that you choose.
Pure
Sativa can run anywhere into the 6 - 9 month bracket. Indica can
flower in 6 weeks. As you can image a Sativa/Indica plant will fall into
the 2 - 4 month flowering period.

Chapter 3
PROPAGATION
What is propagation?
Propagation: 1 The action of breeding or multiplying by natural
processes; procreation, generation, reproduction. 2 The action of
spreading an idea, practice, etc., from place to place. 3 Increase in
amount or extent; enlargement; extension in space or time.
Propagation is 'The Grow'. However most people treat
propagation as the actual events occurring between the planting of the
seed and the transplant of that seedling to the main grow environment.
Here we will treat propagation as the entire process of growing from
seed to harvest. Propagation also includes the logistics of the grow.
So what are you going to do? Are you going to buy a batch of
10 seeds and grow them all in one go? Are you going to then kill the
males and just smoke the females? Are you going to keep the males
and produce more seeds from the females? How many seeds can a
female plant produce? Should I plant my 10 seeds in one go? What
should I do to guarantee that all my seeds will grow? These are the
questions that you should be asking before you begin to grow and this
is where propagation logistics comes into play. The answers depend
largely
Cannabis Seeds For Sale on the size of your grow area and what your budget is.
Let’s say we have about $200/£180 to spend on seeds. We can
78
buy an expensive strain like a G13 cross and then we can grow the
G13 and produce more seeds from it. We can get anything between
100 and 2000 seeds depending on plant size and grow conditions. If
we grow this season for 4 months and at the end produce a lot of seeds
then we may never need to buy seeds for this strain again.
There is something else we can do called - CLONING.
Figure 3.1 - Here are some clones by Slowhand.
This is a technique whereby we can grow a number of plants
and select a good female. Then we can take cuttings from that female
mother plant and grow these cuttings into new plants. Clones always
keep the same sex and vigor of the mother plant. It is also possible to
79
create a garden of plants that will last for decades through cloning
from a single female mother plant. Cloning is discussed in detail in a
later chapter
For the new grower it is advised that you buy 10 seeds and
only germinate 3 the first time followed by another 3 the following
week followed by the last 4 in two weeks after that. This will allow you
some degree of experimentation as you may fail on your first attempt
to germinate the seeds because of lack of any previous cannabis
growing experience.
For people who have germinated seeds once before in the

MrSoul Most of the plants I grew with seeds bought in November are about 45" tall, but I bend then over almost in half
so they are only about 26" high not including the rockwool. I get lots of various size buds that are pointy on
top when fully mature, with a long top branch of buds about a 18” long that you could call a spread-out cola.
One plant I pruned in veg. Toped at the 4th node than again a week later. It created 4 main colas with only 4
or 5 side branches.. It is just about ready. It will be less than 30” mature (not bent at all) and very compact
not as wide) compared to the other Super Silver Hazes (and much easier to manage). For SOG, you would need
to be a master at controlling the growth patterns. But if you know how, you could get (4) four cola Super Silver
Hazes per Sq. foot, or at least 3 that could yield at least 22 grams of dry manicured bud. “This strain may be the "Holy Grail". The result of painstakingly backcrossing a VERY RARE female to her male
progeny over 3 generations. This hybrid was specifically bred for indoor cultivation. Short statured & heavily
branched, this plant grows LONG, dense colas with an EXTREMELY high flower/leaf ratio and OUTRAGEOUS resin
production. The breeder has observed a "giant leap" in potency with each progressive generation and, as
expected, Cinderella 99 has topped all previous results - her high is heavily influenced by Haze; clear, energetic
& devastatingly psychoactive. A plant with all of the above is rare enough, but Cinderella 99 finishes flowering
after a scant 50 days of 12/12! Above-average yields of crystal covered buds reeking of tropical fruit aromas can

containing this alkaloid is not difficult to
perform and is perhaps one of the most rewarding alchemical processes that one
can attempt. The chemicals required for this process are readily available and
their purchase arouses no suspicion or interest on the part of Government
agencies. The equipment employed is not expensive or particularly complicated
or can be constructed very easily from ordinary household items. The entire
process can be carried out in any kitchen in the matter of hours by following the
instructions below and in the final stages one can verify the success of the
procedure by actually watching the crystals of mescaline precipitate in the
solution. One kilo (2.2 lbs) of dried peyote buttons may yield between 10 and 60
grams of pure white needle crystals of mescaline depending on the potency of
the plants used. On average the yield is about 20 grams. The usual underground
price of a kilo of dried peyote ranges between $125 and $250 (25 to 50 cents per
button). From indians in the southwestern USA the price is closer to $50 (10
cents per button). The street price for a gram of pure mescaline is $20 to $30 - if
one is lucky enough to find it. One can obtain from a kilo of dried peyote $200 to
$1200 worth of mescaline. If San Pedro is employed on may anticipate a yield of
3 to 12 grams of mescaline per kilo of dried cactus. One can legally purchase a
kilo of dried San Pedro for $5 to $10 and from it extract $60 to $250 worth of pure
mescaline.
Grind a kilo of the dried cactus, place this in a large pressure cooker, cover with
distilled water, and boil for 30 minutes. Strain the liquids and save them. Return
the pulp to the pot, add more water and boil again for 30 minutes. Strain the
liquids and combine them with the first strainings. Repeat this process about five
times or until the pulp no longer has a bitter taste. Discard the pulp and reduce
the volume of the combined strainings by boiling in an open pot. Do not use
aluminum ware. When the liquids have been concentrated to the thickness of
cream (about one quart), stop the boiling and stir in 400 grams of sodium
hydroxide (lye). This makes the mescaline more soluble in benzene and less in
water. If a large separatory funnel is available pour the liquids into it and add
1600 ml of benzene. Shake the funnel well for five minutes and let it stand for two
hours. If a separatory funnel is not available the process can be carried out in a
one gallon jug with a siphon attached.
After standing for 2 hours the water layer will settle to the bottom and the
benzene layer will float to the top. Between the two layers will be a thin emulsion
layer of mixed water and benzene. Drain off the water and emulsion layers if you
are using a separatory funnel or siphon off the benzene layer if you are using the
makeshift jug-siphon apparatus. Be certain that neither the water or emulsion
layers get into the benzene layer when separating. If any of these layers d
The plants build up alkaloids during dry seasons
and draw upon them for growth when the Medicinal Cannabis Partido Cannabis rains come. If the plants are harvested
during or after a wet spell, the alkaloid content may have dropped below 50
percent. If you have a soil test kit, you can get a good indication of the potency of
cacti growing wild. If the soil is rich in nitrogen, the plants are likely to be rich in
alkaloids.
When harvesting peyote, many people uproot the entire plant. This is
unnecessary and wasteful. The roots contain no mescaline. Some of these plants
have taken a long time to reach their size. A cactus three inches in diameter may
be more than 20 years old. To collect peyote properly the button should be
cleanly decapitated slightly above ground level. When the roots are left intact
new buds will form where the old was
Herbaria
removed. These will eventually develop
into full-size buttons which may be harvested as before. Faulty harvesting
method have seriously depleted populations of this cactus. Because of the
presence of several phenolic alkaloids peyote cacti do not spoil easily and may
be kept in their fresh form for several weeks after harvesting.
If they are to be
kept longer than this they must be refrigerated, frozen, or dried. The enzymes
which cause the harvested plant to eventually decompose also destroy the
mescaline and other alkaloids. To dry peyote buttons lay them out in the hot sun
or in an oven at 250 degrees F until completely devoid of moisture.
OTHER PEYOTE-TYPE CACTI OF CENTRAL MEXICO
There are several cacti which are used by the Tarahumares and other tribes of
central Mexico as substitutes for peyote. Many of these cacti are now under
investigation for their alkaloidal content and sychopharmacological activity.
Progress is somewhat retarded in the studies of the effects of these plants
because almost all experimentation has been conducted on laboratory animals
rather than humans. Some of these cacti have been found to contain mescaline
and other related alkaloids with known sympathomimetic properties. Much further
research is needed on these plants and their activity. However, we will attempt to
bring the reader up to date on what is known about them at this time.
PEYOTILLO:
This small cactus is botanically called PELECYPHORA ASELLIFORMIS. It is
also known sometimes as the hatchet cactus because of its oddly flattened
tubercules. It is often found growing in the state of San Louis Potosi in central
Mexico. The plant contains traces of mescaline too minute to have any effect. It
also contains small amounts of anhalidine, anhaladine, hordenine, Nmethylmescaline,
pellotine, 3-demethyltrichocereine, B-phenethylamine, Nmethyl-
B-phenethylamine, 3,4-dimethoxy-B-pheneththyl-amine, N-methyl-3,4-
dimethoxy-B-phenethylamine, and 4-methoxy-B-phenethy- lamine. Most of these
are found in peyote but in much larger quantities.

The botanical name of this cactus is ARIOCARPUS RETUSUS. The Huichol
name tsuwiri means F

While the Engrais Cannabis 5-HT precursors tryptophan and 1-5-HTP cause an increase in serum prolactin concentration, a combination of 1-5-HTP with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor was found to reduce the serum prolactin concentration. This combination seemed to behave like a DA agonist. This effect is not produced by the decarboxylase inhibitor per se. A possible explanation is that 5-HTP Hanf Grow Seeds Cannabis is converted to 5-HT in CA-ergic neurons, that 5-HT supersedes the CA from the stores, and that some of the CA reach the synaptic cleft and stimulate CA receptors. Another possible explanation is that 5-HTP decarboxylase is centrally inhibited as well, and that an effect of 5-HTP itself is involved here. In view of the observations made it is doubtful whether the therapeutic effect of 5-HTP combined with a peripheral decarboxylase inhibitor in depressions and myoclonus can in fact be atributed to activation of central serotonergic systems. beled a "dangerous
drug." Not all cannabis advocates will agree on this question, but the range of opinion will
be relatively narrow, at least as compared with the other side. The radical position is that
the drug is completely innocuous, harmless in every conceivable way: "... marijuana... is in
all respects socially useful, and absolutely nonaddictive. We defy anyone to produce a
shred of evidence that marijuana. .. produces at any time any adverse, depressive, or toxic
effect."4] (The "completely innocuous" position is not to be taken absolutely literally,
since an "overdose" of water may prove to be fatal; what is meant is that cannabis presents
no dangers beyond such commonly accepted substances as coffee, tea aspirin, wine, and
food.) The most conservative pro-pot position is that the drug may, given an unfavorable
setting or taken by an unstable personality, precipitate a temporary state which could, by
some definition, conceivably be labeled as something potentially dangerous. In general,
users do not take the propagandized "dangers" of the drug seriously, since they have spent
hundreds and thousands of hours high, and have seen dozens of others high, with little or
no ill effect.
There is more-or-less complete agreement on the relative harm of the drug: that
marijuana is, for instance, far less dangerous than liquor.5] Another comparison often
made is that marijuana is less (or no more) dangerous than driving an automobile. Both of
these arguments are open to empirical test and could, conceivably, be supported or refuted
with data.
The alcohol-marijuana comparison carries a great deal of weight among potheads. They
feel that they have a solid case for the irrationality of the marijuana prohibition if liquor is,
in fact, more dangerous than their own choice of drug. They contend that drinking carries
with it very real dangers (although a high proportion of marijuana smokers also drink,
very few do so heavily), whereas marijuana is, at worst, no more dangerous, and at best,
completely innocuous. "... alcohol is frequently productive of a hangover, cirrhosis of the

of the marijuana statutes.
A marijuana user, in fact, feels a sense of superiority to the liquor drinker, a feeling that
can be labeled moral, ideological and cultural snobbery. There is the faint hint of religious
zeal in claiming a convert, of winning proselyte from "lush." The fact that so many young
Americans once involved with alcohol are becoming "heads" is confirmation to the
potsmoker that his intoxicating agent is spiritually preferable. The marijuana user will
refer to the liquor drinker in condescending terms as lacking in style, sophistication,
imagination, polish, subtlety, and taste. He is gross, obn (Big Bud x Skunk #1) 23.25 oz. Cured, VERY well manicured. Also made 2 lb of butter, that turned out way too

know why I even let her live). Plants were vegged in an aeroponic/NFT system for 3 weeks under a 1000MH with
an AgroSun bulb. They were about 18-20 inches tall when switched. Each plant was topped twice. Flowering was
in an NFT system. The first 2 weeks a single 1000MH w/ AgroSun was used. A second identical light was added
at the third week. Flowering took about 70 days. These were the most crystallized plants of this variety that
I've ever grown. Slow cured over 1 1/2 months. First on newspaper, then into paper bags, then into mason jars.
Smell is incredible. High is incredible. Normally I find BB a little less potent that I'd like. This crop just floors
me.
High starts out mellow, upbeat, then when you start the second round of bong hits it just hits you like a
wave. Immediate couch melt. Cancel your plans, you're not going anywhere. But it lets your mind stay
somewhat sharp, which is the best thing about it. Overall I was pretty pleased with this harvest. I had a couple
of problems in the early weeks of flowering with mites, and then nearer the end the cold started to set in a bit.
So considering that I was pleased with the yield. Although it did suffer the typical Big Bud problem of slightly
looser buds. I had one plant that was a monster! A good 8 inches taller than all the other plants, I ended up
having to tie her down. 4 huge colas each around 4x11. That plant probably yielded almost 4 ounces alone -

“I've grown this both inside and out. If you do a How To Germinate Marijuana Seeds search, you'll probably find some previous posts that I’ve
written on this type; In brief, it is effectively pure sativa (though actually has early girl crossed in, very
recessive in all respects).
Inside and out, it likes to grow large. Stretch continues right through flowering, which
was a respectable 8 weeks (the only virtue carried over from early girl). Buds are thin, green, sweet and sharp
smell, very good sativa high- quite psychoactive (trippy?).
Little paranoia, very long high. Unless you grow very
big plants, yield is low, as could be expected from such a plant. At present I'm having great trouble with my EP
