Excellent idea for a group :-) I'm surprised no-one has started it earlier. There is so much mis-information, woo and superstition out there about cannabis a community of critical thinkers like AN should be a good place to counter the myths. I do a lot of serious research about this and am amazed to still encounter the same old canards about this plant everywhere.

Felch - That's terrible!! Poor kitten. Would it have been such a big deal if it was a mouse or cockroach instead, though? One wonders...

Lloyd, Lester gave me the honor of being the first contributor to his new blog. I then wrote "Legalize Pot on Religous Grounds." I'll post it here since you enjoyed it. I wasn't sure if it was any good. Dr. Grinspoon liked it but he likes everything I write, so I can't be sure.

Once again, thanks for the kind words.

Lloyd, thanks for the compliment. Lester's interview clears up a lot of uncertainty that people worry about. The truth is there is no known diseases or symptomotogy caused by mj. Maybe pass the interview site on to friends of like mind. One lady on this site thought mj causes lung cancer—no way.

The reason I mention Carl Sagan is because Carl turned Lester on during a cruise ship trip a long time ago. As Dean of Harvard Medical School of Psychiatry, Lester was in a much better position to speak out. He did much research and wrote his first book on the subject, Marijuana Reconsidered in the early‘70s. I admire Lester for going against the system and doing what was right in spite of much ridicule and professional risk.

Lester and I had a laugh at Rudy Guiliani who once gave Lester a hard time. When Rudy was running for president, I mentioned to Lester that Rudy was in my class in high school in Brooklyn. I said Rudy was an autocratic, tight-ass, brown nose in high school and wouldn’t make a good chief of state. Lester then said that at a symposium in NYC on medical mj, Rudy didn’t know who Lester was and treated him like a screwball. (Rudy was a federal prosecutor at the time.) Lester said the he never met much an arrogant man in his life, and the only thing he knew about the subject was based on Reefer Madness.

Politicians have too much power over us, methinks,

Here’s the radio interview if anyone cares to listen.

Also, "Lester Grinspoon" has a few Youtube videos at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. I just put one up on the “endmeme” which is one of the main themes of Mirror Reversal. Just search on endmeme. It’s an important subject because billions of people believing in the apocalypse are a threat to all life on the planet because of the risk of a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Hay Lloyd LeRoi Miller, what you describe is a regular occurrence up here on Canada's British Columbia coast. Hell, there were many times, when I lived on Denman Island, on the BC coast, that we smoked Peace Pipes, bongs, joints, blunts and big Jamaican splifs, while dancing nude around a bonfire! Ahhhh, good times!
