It has no medical value. Marijuana, usually used in the form of cigarettes, generally produces a mild intoxication. Marijuana is also called hashish, because a band of early Arab murderers used the drug. "Marijuana is classified as a narcotic drug under federal law. But it is not addicting (habit-forming) in the same way as such narcotic drugs as heroin and morphine. Marijuana users do not become physically dependent on it and crave it. However, its use carries other major dangers. A person with psychological problems may have intense emotional disturbances after taking marijuana. Or, a person may become reckless and begin taking heroin or morphine when he sees that he can do without marijuana for long periods without ill effects. "Some persons mistakenly believe that marijuana can improve the ability of musicians. Actually, the use of marijuana only makes a musician think he is playing better." -- solomon garb, world book encyclopedia 1968 004: execution: tools & techniques, bart rommel, loompanics unlimited; 120pgs chronicles capital punishment, detailing ancient methods, but specializes in modern execution techniques. mentioning suicide and many tales in the execution chamber, this book is inspiring. ------ "no job too dirty for a fucking scientist." w.s. burroughs 005: space streaking: 7-toku wacky japanese guys get their hands on a lot of good cocaine... ------ any questions, comments, hate, love, like, feelings, ideas, etc... get in touch with me on: temple of syrinx - 420-9346 violent in public - 494-1024 dream realm - 436-3881 shattered paradigms - 942-5224 founder and sole member: rapeman thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhp...........
