Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

Stoners, 2007: Wait... What? Huh? YARGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

Do not, under any circumstances, miss Gerard Van der Leun's photo essay on the "Hempfest" in Seattle, Washington.

American Digest --Stoned to Death in Seattle: Hempfest 2007 Comes to Town

The United States Government wastes a lot of money, time, and effort composing dreadful anti-drug messages that they broadcast on AM radio right after Art Bell goes to sleep, and on television in the wee hours just before the test pattern comes on.

Gerard should be given all the money, and we could all gather our kids around the computer, point at his pictures, and tell them:

"I don't care if you become an alcoholic, a pederast, a serial murderer, or god forbid, a State Senator; but under no circumstances will I allow you to end up like these people."

The 9/11 Truthers lend a touch of verisimilitude to the proceedings, too.

Just say...um... wait... What?

I guess pot can have an effect on basic intelligence and sanity. I thought it was harmless. Very funny. Pathetic but funny.

This you brain on drugs.

I went and saw the Allman Brothers and Ratdog the other night (great show by Ratdog btw) and I think I saw that dude there.

He made it across country pretty quickly.

maybe it was astral projection?

yes, if that was a pro-grass festival, what would an anti-grass festival look like? serious question.

my fave was the girl with the infected lace hardware imbedded in her Twinkies-sculpted back.

lord have mercy on them.

who in their right mind would smoke marijuana when for a few pennies a day more you can toke up on some black tar heroin, Slab or Muck on the street, and really get nothing done. it just doesn't make any sense, unless you consider that marijuana is the largest cash crop in the country.
they even sell little growing machines that will keep you in dope all year.

I always thought that NORML was the most perfectly-named advocacy group on the planet.

So, we've got people denigrating the intelligence of stoners... on a blog named after a Dylan tune. Irony, thy name is libertarian.

But it gets worse. Wait till you hear what I think about your essay about Arabs.
