Why Not WAKE UP? Face It, The 1950s are Over... The Time has come to STOP Being Obedient. Think for Yourself and Question Authority...

It's Fun, It's Free and Everybody's Doing It!  Republicans depend upon Uneducated Voters to DO WHAT THEY ARE TOLD. Did you ever notice the ENDLESS LYING of Trump and his Brainwashed Minions? They Keep on Repeating Their Lies until people believe them...

Like my Uncle said... "In the 1950s, When the Government told you to go to War, You Just Went."

Then the 1960s happened and HUGE QUANTITIES of people learned to "Think For Yourself and Question Authority." - A quote from Dr. Timothy Leary...

American Donut in Nano-Nano Land

"Greed, For Lack of a Better Word, SUCKS!" - Michael Douglas MisQuote from the Movie About Michael Milken - Question Consumerism. Does Wayfair Really Deliver Ecstasy? Everlasting Bliss? and a List of Politicians being Bribed by the NRA...

THEY SAY that Money Can't Buy Happiness... If you have been paying attention you will have noticed that "They" say a LOT of Crazy Things... I have Money and I'm Happy. Happier than when I was Poor. Yes, it's true that INSANE GREED FREAKS appear to be having trouble with Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome but... Most People are Happier with Money.

Smokey the Bear is Lying. Most Forest Fires are Caused by Lightning and YOU Can't Do Anything about Lightning... So Why Is He Laying a Guilt Trip On People? "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires." is a Slogan that is Obviously False and Once Children REALIZE that they have been lied to they start to Question Authority and Think For Themselves.

Do Doctor Drugs Make People Sick? Sometimes YES. Question IF The Prescriptions are Doing Harm, Doing Nothing or Doing Good IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CASE.

Of Course, It is Very Difficult to Tell when Your Prescriptions are For Psychiatric Problems... In My Case LITHIUM did Harm... My Friend says LITHIUM Helped Him. Everyone is Different.

Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics Sticker

When I Was "Whacked Out of My Mind on Psych Meds" I Was in No Position To Accurately Evaluate Their Supposed Benefit. By LUCK, I Moved to a Different Town, The Prescriptions Ran Out and I Couldn't Find a Doctor to Refill them... AND MY HEALTH IMPROVED GREATLY. 

THINK FOR YOURSELF AND QUESTION AUTHORITY. 

Remember: 400,000 Dead Oxycontin Patients. Their Doctors Prescribed the Medicine (Poison) that Killed Them. This is a Truly Difficult Drug Because... OF Course... "It Works!" It DOES Relieve Pain... I Know... I Bought some Opium at a Grateful Dead Concert and When Smoked, I Became the Cheshire Cat from the Alice in Wonderland Book. No PAIN AT ALL... 

MANY People I Know are in Better Health Because They Stopped Taking Doctor Drugs.

On a Related Subject. If Your Doctor Refers You to a Specialist for Tests... They Might be Totally Unneeded Tests... In my case, My Doctor Recommended an Eye Test "Because I'm Diabetic" ... Well, I Declined because... MY EYESIGHT IS FINE... and... I'm Not a Diabetic... I'm Borderline and have been borderline for over a decade... I Test my Blood Sugar every day and every day the results are in the GREEN ZONE... I Might Become Diabetic IN THE FUTURE but Right Now... In My Humble Opinion.. The Trip to the Eye Doctor is BOGUS... I did go to the FOOT DOCTOR "because I'm Diabetic" and that was a really short visit... Just In, Doctor said NO PROBLEM and Out... Could it be a referral just to get More Money from Medicare? A Way to Increase Profit? A Flim-Flam? and the part that is Really Important is that BY VISITING THAT WAITING ROOM, I EXPOSED MYSELF TO OTHER PATIENTS THAT COULD HAVE COMMUNICABLE DISEASES. Something to Think About... My Believing the Doctor's Lies Put Me In Danger...

CAN YOU SPOT THE FREAKING TREND?
HERE IS THE ANSWER TO THIS CRYPTIC PUZZLE!

I remember a "Teach In" at Humboldt State University by members of a Local Church... A man said "There is only one way to get what you want. Jesus. You can't get what you want by taking Drugs and You can't get what you want by Mountain Climbing." - What he FAILED to consider was Taking Drugs While Mountain Climbing. Both. At the same time...

I remember Hiking to the top of El Capitan in Yosemite on LSD. As I Got Higher in Elevation, I got Higher! Then, at the top I wanted to look over the edge but the entire mountain seemed to be doing a dance... so I wriggled on my belly to the edge and observed the wonders of nature... BLISS! Sure more interesting than going to Church... BUT... Whatever Floats Your Boat! I also remember later that day sitting on the top of the two story BUS cruising over to the Trail to Vernal and Nevada Falls... I "Became" a bear and slapped a fish out of the water... and ate it... Of Course, That was a a Hallucination but... and interesting experience... Being a Bear... 

This man also said that Premarital Sex was a SIN... and you shouldn't do it. OBVIOUSLY FALSE. Premarital Sex is a Blessing... and it causes the couple to love each other more... That's because we are MAKING LOVE... Actually Creating Love... 

I asked this man... "Won't believing that Premarital Sex is Sinful reduce your chances of GETTING LAID? Sorry, I forget his answer...

American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber Company and The Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California. MAXXAM SUXX

In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

I have experienced Cannabis Psychosis. I saw things that were not there but I believed that they really existed. REEFER MADNESS ACTUALLY EXISTS BUT... Weed Should Be Legal Nationwide and All Cannabis Prisoners Released... Simply Close The Unused Prisons and REFUND THE MONEY TO THE TAXPAYERS.

and then I Stopped Smoking and The Dreamy Fantasy Effects Went Away in a Month... 

I experienced events that did not happen. That made it difficult to make smart decisions. Californians ought to be aware that it is possible to smoke too much dope. It took my smoking about a pound of Oregon Legal over a 7 month period for me to experience Psychosis. [I was also drinking coffee and smoking tobacco.] Yes, it's FUN to see some things that are not there, Like a cat about the size of a German Shepard Dog. Meow! However... I neglected to file my income taxes... etc. etc. etc.

I stopped smoking when I went on a driving vacation and didn't want to be in possession of an illegal substance while camping out in my van. I remained stoned for about a month due to having so much THC in my system. It was a great trip and I saw many beautiful parks and deserts in Southern California and Nevada. We were driving over "The Grapevine" and the highway patrol created a rolling roadblock to slow down the traffic. They actually forced us all to stop completely by driving back and forth across all the lanes of the freeway... I thought the CHP Car was dancing. Quite an interesting event to observe amplified by my THC enhanced brain... The combination of my being retired from work, having money in the bank and the Legalization of Marijuana in Oregon allowed me to simply take too much. Oregon was 100 miles from home and I bought an ounce a week... The stores rate and price their weed by quantity of THC per gram. I tended to buy the strongest stuff available... I went to the hospital to have an infected blister on my foot treated and they tested my blood and urine... I still tested positive for THC after not smoking for a month.

I started smoking marijuana in 1969 at age 14. I've smoked off and on my whole life. However I realized that I had to quit smoking while I was studying computer science at Humboldt State University. I believe that it would have been impossible to do my homework while stoned... So I quit for 4 years... In Arcata, the geographic center of illegal marijuana farming in Northern California. Marijuana is not addictive like tobacco is but it still has risks associated with it. One risk to be aware of is being arrested for driving a car while stoned.

I did a scientific study of playing chess while stoned on various drugs. I owned a chess computer that would allow me to play at different skill levels. I concluded that I played at a higher level when I drank coffee and a lower level on Marijuana and alcohol. On LSD I refused play at all as the entire test seemed absurd.

Cannabis does have entertainment value. Rock concerts are more enjoyable while stoned. One time I went to an Allman Brothers concert during a time when there was no marijuana available and the music seemed too loud and the guitar solos were pointless and too long. Sex is more pleasurable when stoned. Food tastes better. In general, all experiences are more fun. Reading a Science Fiction Book while stoned is astonishing as every page has a mind blowing revelation or plat twist. Of course, the author intentionally designed the book to twist your mind. Mission Accomplished!

Marijuana is not addictive in the sense that it does not cause pain when a person stopped using it like tobacco does. However, given a choice, I prefer to be stoned all day every day. Smoking at dawn and taking another puff whenever I feel like the effects are wearing off. During my 7 month smoke-a-thon with Oregon Legal I lost about 100 pounds of weight. Strange effect. I believe that the weight loss happened because during the first hour after smoking, I felt queasy and did not feel like eating. Since I was smoking at least once an hour, I did not experience the munchies. After I went to the mental hospital I stopped smoking marijuana and have gained all that weight back and more. Deep Sigh...

During the time I was smoking marijuana heavily, the number of visitors to my blog went up dramatically. Google provides statistics about how popular my words of wisdom are. I was writing what I call "Absurdist Fiction" and posting a lot of travel photographs/descriptions. I also figured out how to "GAME" the Google Search Engine Algorithm... My Blog uses keywords describing my posts individually.  For Example: If I write a post about Traveling to Oregon, I write a dozen words that describe that blog post. I found a way to copy and paste ALL of those keywords into a single blog post. Therefore the content of that blog post would rate high on almost any Google Search.
That technique no longer works as Google probably fixed the search algorithm to ignore that "Hack".
Anyway, I believed that the reason my blogs popularity had increased dramatically was that I was writing better when stoned. Just like The Beatles became Super Popular when the started recording records like Sargent Pepper... Yes, it's true that I came up with more and better ideas while stoned.
BUT... the vast majority of my increase in visits was due to that one trick I played on Google.

Dramatic Increase in Blog Visits when smoking marijuana

After I got out of the mental hospital I quit smoking marijuana and have not had any great ideas since. SO, I have been writing my Autobiography instead. Typing what I did in the past instead of creating the future. By the way, I'm really glad that Marijuana has become legal in California because freedom of choice is great. It's not the right drug for me but the last thing anyone needs is going to jail. We ought to legalize Marijuana Nationwide! Reduce spending on Law Enforcement while increasing VOLUNTARY taxes... AND... Release all the Cannabis Prisoners.
