Can you be a little more clear in regards to how you studied with him? I have never met him, but exchanged emails, and he asked personal questions of me, which I didn't care for.

Have you studied with him?

What you are talking about is a form of vigilante justice as opposed to the legal system of justice which is the appropriate venue.

Cannabis is one of the issues in this election and several states are having voter initiatives for legalization. That is why I continued with several posts on this important issue. Moreover, will Trump or Hillary reign in the police state tactics used by the DEA, TSA, NSA and other authoritarian government organizations? I seriously doubt it and it will be more of the same authoritarian state.

@ Jim D What are the growers and distributors adding to it? Please cite a reference. COPD references please. The quote below made by you in a recent post is completely unfounded and way out of line!

While we are on the subject. The endocannabinoid system in which there are CBD receptors as well as THC receptor sites. This government article is rather lengthy and I just took a quick glance before running out the door. DMT remains a scheduled drug and from my reading, the brain naturally produces it. Why hasn't the DEA removed it from my head for daily use and abuse? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2241751/

What are the added substances?

Joeblast mentioned in a recent post regarding persons who lose their property by being charged with possession of Cannabis. Well what many don't know is that cops and the DEA can seize cash and any other assets without due process or any ensuing charges. It is called 'civil asset forfeiture'. A clear violation of the 4th amendment! The DEA mines travel records looking for one way tickets paid for with cash and assumes there is drug money involved. Will anything change with either Trump or Hillary in office? I seriously doubt it given that these rogue agencies have so much illegal power. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2016/08/10/dea-travel-record-airport-seizures/88474282/

You nor Karl have offered no citations whatsoever to back up your remarks. Moreover, I am not interested in attention and have every right to comment on your posts given that this is a public forum. Karl is a professional in what way? My most recent post had links. Exactly what are the personal comments that I have made in regards to your posts or about you?

There is scant research given the Schedule 1 status here in the USA. However, much anecdotal evidence is piling up everyday that cannot be ignored as to the benefits such as pain relief, PTSD, seizures and so forth. The bizarre part of this insanity is the massive amount of opiates prescribed daily that has lead to an epidemic of addiction. Opiates are perfectly legal when prescribed by a physician and few are putting that problem directly on the pharmaceutical companies.

Dan Baum is the journalist who wrote the piece on Nixon's war on drugs. http://harpers.org/archive/2016/04/legalize-it-all/

I want to add that the so called dangers of Cannabis are lies created by the drug warriors. Cannabis sativa and Cannabis Indica have been cultivated for thousands of years and used for medicine, fiber, food, oil, rituals etc. E.g. below is a quote from one of Nixon's top aides John Ehrlichman which has been well documented in any number of sites. http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/23/politics/john-ehrlichman-richard-nixon-drug-war-blacks-hippie/ The wholesale destruction of millions of lives over an herbaceous plant that grows almost everywhere is preposterous. Further, the so called war on drugs is a war on people, complete with a bloated private prison complex, civil asset forfeiture with no probable cause in many cases and so forth.

Never said you mentioned him, but Brian did. Given the incredibly boring nature of TDB and how the forum has sunk to new lows over the years I am signing off.

It was in response to Karl's statement which he was responding to what I said. That was the implication. There are many times where your narrative seems a bit out of context and not specifically directed. That is a problem with a public forum such as this.

You are practicing therapy here? I see your posts as stating certain opinions which you liberally state here. Moreover, on the invisible man thread you attempted to analyze why I have the joker archetype and I refused to indulge your request. My personality is multi faceted and not so easily characterized. Please refrain from this analysis. This is a public forum and I don't reveal much.

Going back to the old Allinsky accusation that you have made in the past to me? A very trite accusation which is completely boring. Never read his book. Another attempt at divination which says nothing.

First of all, your analysis of me is not welcome or well taken. This is a public forum which greatly limits your perception of others. Please refrain from divination. To state that Trump is a common sense person is outrageous.

There is evidence and you always talk down to me as if I know nothing. I have reported you to the mods a number of times regarding your violation of the rules here.

Common sense? Hardly! Your narrative is flawed to the nth degree! BTW, your generalization "just like the rest of us" is offensive.

Not interested in your lectures which imply that I know nothing!

Trump has a fascination with nuclear weapons and recently asked as to why the US doesn't use them.

I briefly watched the video and the volt meter measured 200 volts. I wonder how many amps?

I thought that was all part of the natural state. It is all phenomena and not phenomena.

You beat me to it on that one.
