Pot smokin

I don't mind smoking a small amount of pot to help with the joint pain and
slow
me down mentally a bit while I'm observing.

Alcohol, OTOH, makes me to lazy and tired to go ou, I end up sitting on the
couch watching Conan instead.

I don't care ato all to be "high" (gives me anxiety for some reason, heart
beats fast), but I am convinced that the analgesic effects of a small(and I
mean **small**) amout of pot, helps my back feel better both when I am out
observing, and when I am out fly fishing as well. Too much, however, makes me
sloppy with both pursuits, plus I have some asthma, so I try to limit the
smoking in general (gave up cigs 15 years ago).

we all should use whatever we can to make our viewing experience more

easy for us to accept my need or your need might be different from the
majority of others. So I'm with rat, although I'm probably very different.

Yeah, I typically swing my arm around like a windmill for about a minute and
a half, to get a vein to pop up.
Then tie that sucker off and slam ~10cc of Mexican brown smack, to slow me
down, snort two 3 inch lines (one for each nostril) of peanut butter crank
to keep me from slurring astronomical terms/names, drops two hits of purple
double-dum to enhance colors in diffuse nebula, do a toot of my cocaine
tooter every 15 minutes to keep me awake and suck on some cross top bennies
to keep my eyes wide open and fully dilated.
This pretty much allows me to see everything up to mag 17 in the Virgo
cluster under a full moon in the middle of September at 2 PM.

For the pain I live with every day, I use plain old Asprin. It does the job
and I can keep on going without worring about being busted by a nark.

Thanks Gary for the huge fit of uncontrollable laughter your
well-written post put me through. You are truly a "Funny Guy".

I have been smoking the magic flower since back in the mid-sixties and
have always been impressed by it's effect of making everything more
interesting and FUN, be it sex or skygazing or a combination of the
two.

I hope that when the coroner opens my chest for my autopsy, he
releases a cloud of cannabis smoke into the room for the benefit of
all.

I will quit when they pry the joint from "my cold dead hands".

Meanwhile, try it, you just might like it.

I watched guys who got stoned smoking joints walk out of the bunker during
an attack on base camp and end up having their body parts put into bodybags
and sent home.

I have NEVER used it and NEVER well use it.

I seem to gather that most of these posts in this thread have been
"Tongue in Cheek", and perhaps cannot be taken seriously.

Seriously though, no form of drug use, even the seemingly harmless
recreational use of Pot will never benefit a person. (Unless maybe you
have Glaucoma, or Cancer) The belief that things like grass , or any
other drug will enhance any hobby/pursuit, is a wishful, false dream.

One thing I have personally witnessed, and recognized/noticed is that
many friends, and aquaintances that I knew that used "recreational"
drugs like Grass, and cocaine back in the '70's, and '80's, are now
experiening failed health in thier '40's-'50's, namely heart disease.

I wonder if the benefits of smokin pot and doing backyard or
campground or roadside or
offroad or lakeside or mountain kingdom astronomy enhances the
experience? I wonder
how much it interferes with the ability to find objects? I suppose
things would take longer
but then it's not the destination that's important, it's the trip
along the way.



When spliff gets in your eyes...

We knew it gave people the munchies and made them giggle. Now researchers
claim to have found a new property in cannabis - it helps us see in the
dark.
Scientists made their discovery after becoming intrigued by Moroccan
fishermen who not only failed to lose their sense of direction after
smoking generous amounts of local kif, a mixture of cannabis and tobacco,
but seemed to navigate better on dark nights.

"They attribute their ability to see to the consumption of kif that they
spend entire hours smoking before getting into their barques," one of the
research team, drawn from the US, Spain and Morocco, reported.

Jamaican fishermen have reportedly shown a similar reaction, suggesting
that there may be something medically useful in cannabis apart from the
pain-deadening properties already spotted by doctors treating cancer
patients.

Equipped with a machine for measuring night vision, the researchers
headed for the Rif valley, the centre of Morocco's flourishing cannabis
trade. "High-grade sifted cannabis was mixed with tobacco in a 2:1 ratio
and smoked as kif by subjects employing a traditional sebsi pipe," the
team write in the latest Journal of Ethnopharmacology.

Three "kif-experienced" Moroccan volunteers were then invited to make
"numerous inhalations".

The volunteers demonstrated "consistent improvements" in tests, leading
the researchers to suggest that further studies should be conducted.

The researchers admit that the results have turned the ancient wisdom of
Persian and Arab scientists, who suggested that cannabis made vision
fuzzier, on its head.

But their results backed up claims by the Observer columnist Sue Arnold,
who suffers from retinitis pigmentosa and is officially registered blind.
She noticed several years ago that drawing on strong Jamaican skunk
suddenly and temporarily enabled her to see things clearly.

But Ms Arnold has since warned of side-effects that could impede night-
time navigation.

"Only trouble was," she said, "I couldn't stand up."

If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that

somewhere who can't pay for her prescription and has to choose between
medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my
grandmother. If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without
benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties.
It's that fundamental belief-I am my brother's keeper, I am my sisters'
keeper-that makes this country work. It's what allows us to pursue our
individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family.

Politicians will stretch the truth. They'll exaggerate their
accomplishments, paper over their gaffes. Spin has long been the lingua
franca of the political realm. But George W. Bush and his administration
have taken "normal" mendacity to a startling new level far beyond lies of
convenience. On top of the usual massaging of public perception, they
traffic in big lies, indulge in any number of symptomatic small lies,
and, ultimately, have come to embody dishonesty itself. They are a lie.
And people, finally, have started catching on.

Sounds like they smoked cigarettes a lot and probably ate a lot of
processed ****! Anyone who believes a balnket statement like yours
really has no mind.
