This is one gigantic leap towards what I think the newsletter should be. As has been the case quite frequently of late, we have taking information from various sources (mainly HIGH TIMES and The Emperor Wears No Clothes), and, as usual, we do so without permission. We don't ask permission for a couple of reasons... Firstly, and most obviously, to do that, we'd have to risk them turning us down, and no doubt being pissed off when we do it anyway. But the main reason is this... If anyone putting out any information of the nature and quality that one finds in HIGH TIMES and in Jack Herer's book (and other such sources), does not want that information spread far and wide in any manner possible, I would like to personally meet with that person and beat the bloody hell out of them. We're trying to educate you people about the history of drugs, the REAL dangers of drugs, what is happening in society, and other such things. We have a message, and we're trying to spread it. The fact that we find the information worthy of our time to key in and then spread around, and even give credit to the original author/publisher, should be payment enough for whomever we borrow from. And if it isn't...if that person wants more than that...if that person wants to get in the way of a group that is actually TRYING to do SOMETHING to correct the terrible situation this country is in, that person can fuck themselves. And you know what? Anyone who spouts off about "I'm against drug prohibition" or "Free The Weed!" or "We're becoming a fascist police state!" and then sits on their ass and does NOTHING about it...they can fuck themselves too! I thought the world would take care of itself. Wrong. I thought the situation would get better without my help. Wrong. I thought there were plenty of others helping, so I wasn't needed. Wrong. Any excuse you can come up with...Wrong. You're afraid that if you write the media groups or your political representatives that you'll be questioned? Then you're too damned much of a loser to be doing anything illegal anyway. The Machine will run you over eventually. You're not old enough to vote yet? Then you'll not have enough time to write when you ARE old enough to vote. Get off your ass now, develop good habits while you're young. Because if you don't, when you are old enough to vote, you may not be ABLE to vote. You're not a registered voter? They don't know that. Regardless, you mean to tell me you can't spare the few minutes it takes to register? You don't have enough time? Bullshit! You don't have the five minutes it might take to write one damn letter? ONE letter a week, and you could have all the newspapers, television stations, and congressmen taken care of in a few months! You haven't joined any pro-Legalize groups because you don't want to be on "The List"? Don't come crawling back sniveling and begging for help to those groups when you get busted. Stand up for your rights. Stand up for what you believe in. This country was founded by people who were pissed off. Their rights were being violated, and they STOOD UP for it, they didn't take any shit from the apparently superior English. They were few, and they weren't well financed. They had no real advantages over the British. But those freedom fighters fought. They demanded liberty and justice. And damnit, they WON. They WON the war, they WON the revolution. They GOT their liberty, their justice, their RIGHTS. WE CAN TOO. But NOT if you sit on your ass doing NOTHING! Things will NOT get better, if YOU DON'T HELP! You may only be one person...But there are MILLIONS of people LIKE YOU out there! If we raise our voices, if we pressure the pressure groups, we CAN WIN BACK our rights and our freedoms! So...Read this newsletter, and spread it around. Print it out and hand it out to your friends and relatives, people on the street. Mail it to various places. Subscribe to HIGH TIMES, buy books like The Emperor Wears No Clothes... Educate yourself and those around you. Write letters to the media groups, the power groups, your congressmen. Don't do nothing. We need you. We all need each other in this war. If we band together and unite for a common cause, we can and we will win. The Government uses the military to fight its wars...but like the saying goes...the pen is mightier than the sword...

Upcoming topics for The Flaming Fetus-- o The Violation of Rights in America o The Environment o No More Wars! It's probably old news by now, but Ripco has returned. Call up and help out with the effort to bring the board to full glory once again. Centre Of Eternity may be going through remodeling soon..Whether or not it will go offline for that remains to be seen... We have actually begun to call out and take our files with us, we've appeared in CuD recently, so it looks like our Infestation Tour has finally begun...If you have ideas or suggestions or desires that you think would be nifty-keen-o for us to do, let us know and we'll see what we can do. -(n)uzephlash '90! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For Whom The Bell Tolls -Bloody Afterbirth- !*@&#^$%#^@&!*@&#^$%#^@&!*@&#^$%#^@&!* Contrary to some less intelligent observations, we are a very serious group...Well, serious about what we do, though what we do may not be very serious. The group has gone through countless changes since our Conception in late November '89, but we have decided upon an overall purpose in life which should make it easier for you to decide if you want to work with us. This country is systematically removing the rights of the citizens. Those rights are violated each and every day in some form or other. Well, we don't like that. So we do what we can to present knowledge and information, education if you will, about such issues as the Drug culture and the Computer underground in an effort to counteract the propaganda and horseshit the Gumbyment, corporations, PDFA, whatever, feed the people. We are now, basically, a Counterculture group. Yes, we will do traditional Toxic Shock work on occasion, but we are beginning to work in a groove, and the Counterculture is one thing we are all very interested in. Files are what we do the most right now...Original files, excerpts from books or magazines (or whole damn books and magazines), parodies, essays, stories, whatever. All it takes to become a member in our group is reasonable intelligence, interest in the things we stand for, a desire to contribute and spread our files, and enough guts to stand up for what you believe in, even if what you believe in is contrary to some of the stuff we believe in. If you are interested in joining, call the Centre of Eternity and leave feedback to King Diamond, he will let one of us know about your interest.

We really don't care what groups you have done work for or are doing work for, but if you feel the need to give glory to them, do so. But keep in mind that your membership in other groups doesn't mean jack shit to us as far as what you can do, unless it happens to be on the par of LOD. (And if you are in a group that good, tell us why the hell you would want to work with Toxic Shock.) 2) Give us one or two (or more..) samples of your work.

So, when the young pilot George Bush bailed out of his burning airplane afer a battle over the Pacific, little did he know: o Parts of his aircraft engine were lubricated with cannabis hemp seed oil; o 100% of hislife-saving parachute webbing was made from US grown cannabis hemp; o Virtually all the rigging and ropes of the ship that pulled him in were made of cannabis hemp; o The firehoses on the ship (as were those in the schools he had attended) were woven from cannabis hemp; and, o Finally, as young George Bush stood safely on the deck, his shoes' durable stitching was of cannabis hemp, as it is in all good leather and military shoes to this day. Yet Bush has spent a good deal of his career eradicating the cannabis plant and enforcing laws to make certain that no one will learn this information -- possibly including himself...

(BA:So THAT'S why Quayle actually got VP!) The entire Bush family were large stockholders in Lilly, Abbot, Bristol and Pfizer, etc. After Bush's disclosure of assets in 1979, it became public that Bush's family still has a large interest in Pfizer and substantial amounts of stock in the aforementioned drug companies. In fact, Bush actively lobbied illegally both within and without the Administration as Vice President in 1981 to permit drug companies to dump more unwnted, obsolete or especially domestically-banned substances on unsuspecting Third World countries. While Vice President, Bush continued to illegally act on behalf of pharmaceutical companies by personally going to the IRS for special tax breaks for certain drug companies manufacturing in Puerto Rico. In 1981, Vice President Bush was personally ordered to stop lobbying the IRS on behalf of the drug companies by the US Supreme Court itself. He did -- but they (the pharmceuticals) still received a 23% additional tax break for their companies in Puerto Rico who make these American outlawed drugs for sale to Third World countries.

As we emerged from the Great Depression, cultivation and commerce of hemp was a thriving industry. Who squashed it? And why? Excerpted from the updated and revised edition of The Emperor Wears No Cloths, written by Jack Herer. This landmark book, originally published in 1985, contains shocking and sensational material about the uses of the hemp plant, and the real reasons why hemp was made illegal over fifty years ago. To order your copy of the new, improved 1990 edition of *The Emperor Wears No Clothes*, the book that tells us to save the seed to save the planet, send $12.95 (plus $2.00 shipping and handling) to: H.E.M.P., 5632 Van Nuys Boulevard, Van Nuys, CA 91401. (make check or money order out to H.E.M.P.) Jack Herer's landmark book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, shows how anti-marijuana laws - ostensibly passed in order to suppress the supposedly insolent, criminal behavior of African- and Mexican- Americans, and in responce to alleged criminal violence and drug-induced insanity by its users - were actually a giant red herring aimed at removing the hemps plant's resurgence as an agricultural competitor to the emerging petrochemical industry (due to breakthrough decorticating and harvesting technologies) by a few powerful companies. In this excerpt, Herer details the machinations behind the passage of Reefer Madness laws. A CONSPIRACY TO WIPE OUT THE NATURAL COMPETITION When mechanical hemp fiber stripping machines and machines to conserve hemp's high-cellulose pulp became state-of-the-art, available and affordable in the mid-1930s, the enormous timber acreage and businesses of the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division, Kimberly Clark (USA), St. Regis - and virtually all other timber, paper and large newspaper holding companies - stood to lose billions of dollars and perhaps go bankrupt. Coincidentally, DuPont had just patented a new sulphuric-acid process for wood pulp paper in 1937 which would, according to their own corporate records and historians, account for over 80% of all its railroad carloadings for the next 50 years. If hemp had not been made illegal, 80% of DuPont's business would never have come to be; nor would 80% of the pollution inflicted on our Northwestern and Southeastern rivers have occured. In an open marketplace, hemp would have saved the majority of America's vital family farms and would probably have boosted their numbers, despite the Great Depression of the 1930s. Competing against the enviromentally-sane hemp-paper technology would have jeopardized the lucrative financial schemes of the Hearst, DuPont and DuPont's chief financial backer, Andrew Mellon of the Mellon Bank of Pittsburgh. These industrial barons and financiers knew that machinery to cut, bale, decorticate (to separate the fiber from the high-cellulose hurd), and process hemp into paper was becoming available in the mid-1930s. Cannabis hemp would have to go. A series of secret meetings was held. Mellon, in his role as Herbert Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury, in 1931 appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to be head of the newly reorganized Federal Bereau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (FBNDD), a post he would hold for the next 31 years. SOCIAL REORGANIZATION In DuPont's 1937 Annual Report to its stockholders, the company strongly urged action (investment) despite the economic chaos of the Great Depression. DuPont was anticipating "radical changes," predicting that "the revenue raising power of the government" would soon be "converted into an instrument for forcing acceptance of sudden new ideas of industrial and social reorganization." In *The Marijuana Conviction* (U. of Virginia Press, 1974), Richard Bonnie and Charles Whitebread II detailed this process: *"By the fall of 1936, Chief Treasury Consul Herman Oliphant had decided to employ the taxing power [of the Federal government], but in a statute modeled after the National Firearms Act and wholly unrelated to the 1914 Harrison [narcotics] Act. Oliphant himself was in charge of preparing the bill. Anslinger directed his army to turn its campaign toward Washington. The key departure of the marijuana tax scheme from that of the Harrison Act is the notion of the prohibitive tax. Under the Harrison Act, a non-medical user could not legitmately buy or possess narcotics. "To the dissenters in the Supreme Court decisions upholding the act, this clearly demonstrated that Congress' motive was to prohibit conduct rather then raise revenue. So in the National Firearms Act, designed to prohibit traffic in machine guns, Congress 'permitted' anyone to buy a machine gun, but required him to pay a $200 transfer tax and carry out the purchase on an order form. "The Firearms Act, passed in June 1934, was the first act to hide Congress's motives behind a 'prohibitive' tax. The Supreme Court unanimously upheld the anti-machine gun law on March 29, 1937. "Oliphant, who had been siting on the secret marijuana tax bill for two years, had undoubtedly been awaiting the Court's decision on the prohibition tax on machine guns, now had the Treasury Department suddenly introduce its marijuana bill just two weeks later, on April 14, 1937."* Thus, DuPont's decision to invest in new technologies based on "focusing acceptance of sudden new ideas of industrial and social reorganization" makes sense. THE PROHIBITIVE MARIJUANA TAX In the secret Treasury Department meetings conducted between 1935 and 1937 prohibitive tax laws were drafted and strategies plotted. "Marijuana" was not banned outright: An "occupational excise tax upon dealers, and a transfer tax upon dealings in marijuana" were called for. Importers, manufacturers, sellers and distributors had to register with the Secretary of the Treasury and pay the occupational tax. Transfers were taxed a $1 an ounce, $100 an ounce if the dealer was unregistered. Also, sales to an unregisterd taxpayer were prohibitively taxed. At this time the "raw drug" cannabis sold for one dollar an ounce. The year was 1937. New York State had exactly one narcotics officer. (Now it has a network of thousands of officers, agents and snitches, and twenty times the penal capacity.) After the Supreme Court decision of March 29, 1937, upholding the prohibition of machine guns through taxation, Herman Oliphant made his move. On April 14, 1937, he introduced the bill directly to the House Ways and Means Committee instead of to other appropriate committees such as Food and Drug, Agriculture, Textiles, Commerce, etc. The reason may have been that Ways and Means is the only committee to send its bills directly to the House floor without the act having to be debated upon by other committees. Ways and Means Chairman Robert L. Doughton quickly rubber-stamped the secret Treasury bill and sent it sailing through Congress to the President. "DID ANYONE CONSULT WITH THE AMA?" However, even withen his controlled committee hearings, many expert witnesses spoke out against the passage of these unusual tax laws. Dr. James Woodward, for instance, who was both a physician and an attorney, testified on behalf of the American Medical Association (AMA). He said, in effect, the whole fabric of federal testimony was tabloid sensationalism! No real testimony was being used in its passage! This law could possibly in ignorance deny the world a potential medicine, especially now that the medical world was just beginning to find which ingredients in marijuana were active. He stated to the committee that the whole reason the AMA hadn't come out against the marijuana tax law sooner was that it had been described in the press for 20 years as "killer weed from Mexico." The AMA doctors had just realized, "two days before" the spring, 1937, hearings, that the plant Congress intended to outlaw was known medically as cannabis - the benign substance used for 100 years in America with perfect safety. Woodward also stated the main reason he did not know this fact was that all the meetings had been held in secret by the Treasury Department over the past two years. He and the AMA were quickly denounced by Anslinger and the entire Congressional committee, and curtly excused. (The AMA and Roosevelt administration were strong antagonists in 1937.) When the Marijuana Tax Act bill came up for oral report, discussion, and vote on the floor of Congress, only one pertinent question was asked from the floor: "Did anyone consult with the AMA and get their opinion?" Representative Vinson, answering for the Ways and Means Committee replied, "Yes, we have a Dr. Warton [mistaken pronunciation of Woodward?] and the AMA are in complete agreement!" With this memorable lie, the bill passed, and became law in September 1937. A federal police force was created, able to demand millions of wasted years in jail and even the deaths of individual Americans, in order to save polluting industries, and to reinforce policies of racial hatred. Testimony before Congress in 1937 for the purpose of outlawing marijuana consisted almost entirely of Hearst's and other sensational and racist newspaper articles read aloud by Harry J. Anslinger, director of the Federal Bureaau of Narcotics (FBN). (This agency has since evolved into the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA].) Harry J. Anslinger was director of the new Federal Bureau of Narcotics from its inception in 1931 for the next 31 years, and was only forced into retirement in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, after Anslinger tried to censor the publication and publishers of Professor Alfred Lindsmith's "The Addict and the Law," (Washington Post, 1961) and to blackmail and harass his employer, Indiana University. Anslinger had come under attack for racist remarks as early as 1934 by a US senator from Pennsylvania, Joseph Guffey, for such things as referring to "ginger-colored niggers" in letters circulated to his department heads on FBN stationery. OTHERS SPOKE OUT, TOO Also lobbying *against* the Marijuana Tax Act's passage with all its energy was the National Oil Seed Institue, representing the high quality machine lubrication producers as well as paint manufactures. Speaking to the House Ways and Means Committee in 1937, their general counsel, Ralph Loziers, testified eloquently about hemp seed oil that was to be, in effect, outlawed: *"Respectable authorities tell us that in the Orient, at least 200 million people use this drug; and when we take into consideration that for hundreds, yes, thousands of years, practically that number have been using this drug. It is significant that in Asia and elsewhere in the Orient, where poverty stalks abroad on every hand and where they draw on all the plant resources which a bountiful nature has given that domain--it is a significant fact that none of those 200 million people has ever, since the dawn of civilzation, been found using the seed of this plant or using the oil as a drug. "Now, if there were any deleterious properties or principles in the seed or oil, it is reasonable to suppose that these Orientals, who have been reaching out in their poverty for something that would satisfy their morbid appetite, would have discovered it... "If the committee please, the hemp seed, or the seed of the cannabis sativa l., is used in all the oriental nations also in part of Russia as food. It is grown in their fields and used as an oatmeal. Millions of people every day are using hemp seed in the Orient as food. They have been doing that for many generations, especially in periods of famine... "The point I make is this--that this bill is too all inclusive. This bill is a world encircling measure. This bill brings the activities--the crushing of this great industry under the supervision of a bureau--which may mean its suppression. Last year, there was imported into the US 62,813,000 pounds of hemp seed. in 1935 there was 116 million pounds..." PROTECTING SPECIAL INTERESTS Prior to 1931, Anslinger was Assistant US Commissioner for Prohibition. (Anslinger, remember, was hand-picked to head the new Federal Bureau of Narcotics by his uncle-in-law, Andrew Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury under President Herbert Hoover.) The same Andrew Mellon was also the owner and largest stockholder of the sixth largest bank (in 1937) in the United States, the Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh, one of only two bankers for DuPont from 1928 to the present. (DuPont, in its entire 170-year history, has borrowed money ffrom banks only twice, once to buy control of General Motors in the 1920s. Dupont's banking business is the prestigious plum of the financial world.) In 1937, Anslinger testified before Congress, saying, "Marijuana is the most violence causing drug in the history of mankind." This along with Anslinger's outrageous marijuana statements and beliefs was made to the Southern-dominated Congressional committee and is now an embarrassment to read in its entirety. For instance, Anslinger kept a "Gore File," culled almost entirely from Hearst and other sensational tabloids--e.g., stories of axe murders, where one of the participants reportedly smoked a joint four days before committing the crime. Anslinger pushed on Congress as a fact that about 50% of all violent crimes committed in the US were committed by Spaniards, Mexican-Americans, Latin Americans, Filipinos, Negroes, and Greeks and that these crimes could be traced directly to marijuana. Not one of Anslinger's marijuana "Gore Files" of the 1930s is believed true by scholars who have painstakingly checked the facts. In fact FBI statistics, had Anslinger bothered to check, showed at least 65% to 75% of all murders in the US were then--and still are--alcohol related. As an example of his racist statement, Anslinger read into US Congressional testimony (without objection) stories about "coloreds" with big lips luring white women with jazz and marijuana. He read of two Negro students at the University of Minnesota doing this to a white coed "with the result of pregnancy." The Congressmen of 1937 gasped at this and at the fact that this drug seemingly caused white women to touch or even look at a "Negro." SELF-PERPETUATING LIES Virtually no one in America other then a handful of rich industrialists and their hired cops knew that their chief potential competitor--hemp--was being outlawed under the name marijuana. That's right. Marijuana was most likely just the excuse for hemp prohibition and economic suppression. The water was further muddied by the confusion of marijuana with locoweed (jimsonweed). The situation was not clarified by the press, which continued to print the disinformation into the 1960s. And even at the dawn of the 1990s, the most estravagant and ridiculous attacks on the hemp plant draw national media attention. But serious discussions of the health, civil liberties and economic aspects of the hemp issue are frequently dismissed as being nothing but an "excuse so that people can smoke pot." One must concede that, as a tactic, confusing the public about the nature of hemp and its relationship with "marijuana" has been very successful. _______________________________________________________________________________ ISOMERIZATION Transforming Hemp to Primo Marijuana by Mel Frank Source: High Times Oct. 1990 p54-55 Keyed by Gross Genitalia, Oct. 3, 1990 The mysterious isomerizer was supposedly able to turn the most bogus bunkweed into mind-bending hash oil. Did this miracle-machine really work? Mel Frank delves deep into the isomerizer's murky past. Almost forgotten by today, a small industry sprouted, flourished and died. The industry was the manufacture and sale of isomerizers -- machines sold through head shops and mail-order houses that supposedly could miraculously transform mediocre marijuana into potent hash oil. The oil could then be smoked in an oil-pipe or sprayed on inferior marijuana to enhance its effect. The earliest ad I could fimd for an isomerizer appeared in the seventh issue of a fledgling magazine called HIGH TIMES (December/January 1975) about the time HIGH TIMES was first becoming a showcase for drug paraphernalia. Thai Power, Inc., an Alaskan firm, claimed their "Isomerizer" would "convert cannabidiol (CBD), an inert and undesirable element, to pure THC resulting in an increase in up to six times" in potency. The ad also claimed the Isomer- izer could "convert low-rotating forms of THC as found in low-quality marijuana and hashish to the more psychedelic and spiritual high-rotating forms." Wonder of wonders! For only $275 (1975 dollars) amateur alchemists could transform garbage to gold! The Isomerizer was the dream-machine of '70s marijuana culture. In 1976, Thai Power introduced the mew model ISO2 for $159, but soon other companies began to vie for the dollars of dopers looking for extraordinary super-highs. Competition from imitators, such as the Maximizer at $29.95 and Kik at $69.95, dropped the price of the ISO2 to $99 in 1979. How popular was the Isomerizer? An ad for the ISO2 in the March 1978 issue of HEAD magazine claimed that over 20,000 had been sold. But by 1982, isomerizer ads and isomerizer imitators had all but disappeared, due to introduction of anti- paraphernalia laws. The idea of isomerization was introduced in a slim booklet, CANNABIS ALCHEMY by David Gold, published in 1973. All the claims -- transformation of inactive CBD to psychoactive THC, and conversion of low-rotating THC to high-rotating THC isomeric forms -- appear in CANNABIS ALCHEMY. Whether the commercial machines COULD isomerize CBD to THC as described by Gold is not the issue I want to address here. They did a decent job of extracting raw marijuana resin from buds, leaves and stems. But unfortunately, isomerizers never got the chance to work as the dream-machine buyers expected. WHAT WENT WRONG? Gold plainly says in his book that "the quantity of CBD is important." But Gold and many other writers (including this writer) were led astray by the faulty data published in the scientific journals of the day. Everyone -- isomerizer-makers and consumers -- wrongly believed that the inferior marijuana sold in this country was poor in THC and rich in CBD. But the fact is that inferior commercial marijuana in the USA is generally poor in THC AND very poor in CBD. Isomerizer buyers spent time and effort trying to convert something (CBD) that simply wasn't there. The assumption that inferior marijuana was rich in CBD began when scientists published reams of research on marijuana in the 1960s and early '70s that confused CBD with other cannabinoids, mainly CBC (cannabichromene). Early test procedures could not s Substantial CBD is fairly common in North African and Central Asian varieties (Table 1), but usually not in varieties from Colombia, Mexico, Jamaica, and US homegrown -- the majority of marijuana consumed here. Surprisingly, high concentrations of CBD are not that uncommon in some Thai and Afghani varieties. But smugglers seldom bring such CBD-rich varieties to the USA simply because the product is mediocre compared to the THC-rich Thai and Afghani, and, therefore, not worth importing. ======================================================== TABLE 1 -- CANNABINOIDS IN MARIJUANA FROM NORTH AFRICA AND CENTRAL ASIA* Country of Origin THC CBD CBC ----------------------------------- Ethiopia 1.29 3.05 0.15 Lebanon 1.07 1.68 0.05 Turkey 1.56 2.79 0.23 Iran 0.18 1.63 0.03 Morocco 0.08 1.61 0 * Percentage of cannabinoid to weight of dried sample (marijuana).

Dots also appear in many northeastern states and in Kentucky and North Carolina, with few dots appearing south and westward in Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, Utah, California and other states.] ======================================================== Weedy hemp fluorishes from Quebec to British Columbia and south throughout most of the continental United States. Most often, you'll find weedy hemp in the Midwest, in the East, and in most major cities. The best places to look are along the banks of streams, fields, railroad lines, highways, in empty lots, and other recently cleared areas. Cannabis is a colonizer, which means that the plant "colonizes" areas that are suitable for growth and empty of competing plants. The hemp varieties that inhabit the US were imported from cool, temperate areas of Europe and Asia. This may account for the notable absense of weedy hemp in the hotter regions of the southern US, where there is ample rainfall and fertile soil. Apparently, these varieties either do not thrive in very hot climes or do not compete well with local weeds. Weedy hemp is absent or rare in areas with tight or compacted clay soils. Also, hemp is uncommon in particularly arid areas and is nearly absent from the dry, mountainous regions and deserts of the West. Distribution is concentrated in the Central and Midwest states, where hemp was planted during WWII, part of the wartime effort to counter the possibility that Japan would cut off America's supply of Manila hemp and create a fiber shortage. Do not be disheartened if you've never encountered weedy hemp. Hemp can be found in nearly every conceivable site, from lake shores to cracks in concrete walls to upland pine-tree plantations. When scientists constructed the map shown here in 1965, they found that the spread of weedy hemp had slowly but steadily accelerated for the past hundred years. The authors ominously warned that the dreaded hemp weed was still increasing in both range and incidence. Very likely you'll find hemp in places not indicated on the map. For example, in Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1979, I was given weedy hemp collected from an empty lot that had been overgrown with various weeds for as long as anyone could remember. The plants may well have been descendants of a hemp strain planted generations ago for hemp fiber. I don't know if isomerizers can transform CBD to THC. I'm only saying that for isomerizers to work, you must use hemp with its CBD, not marijuana. So, break out those relic isomerizers, and let's find out if they work. Maybe this article will help resurrect the long-lost, mystical art of isomerization. (c)opied right from High Times...Toxic Shock / Gross Genitalia / Oct. 1990 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why Not Use Hemp To Reverse The Greenhouse Effect & Save The World? -taken from The Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack Herer- In early 1989, Jack Herer and Maria Farrow put this question to Steve Rawlings, the highest ranking officer in the US Department of Agriculture who was in charge of reversing the Greenhouse Effect, as the USDA world research facility in Beltaville, MD. First, we introduced ourselves and told him we were writing for Green political party newspapers, then we asked Rawlings, "If you could have any choice, what would be the ideal way to stop or reverse the Greenhouse Effect?" He said, "Stop cutting down trees and stop using fossil fuels." "Well, why don't we?" "There's no viable substitue for wood for paper, or for fossil fuels." "Why don't we use an annual plant for paper and for biomass to make fuel?" "Well, that would be ideal," he agreed. "Unfortunately there is nothing you can use that could produce enough materials." "Well, what would you say if there WAS such a plant that could substitute for all wood pulp paper, all fossil fuels, would make most of our fibers naturally, make everything from dynamite to plastic, grows in all 50 states and that one acre of it would replace 4.1 acres of trees, and that if you used about 6% of the US land to raise it as an energy crop -- even on our marginal lands, this plant would produce all 75 quadrillion billion BTUs needed to run America each year? Would that help save the planet?" "That would be ideal. But there is no such plant." "We think there is." "Yeah? What is it?" "Hemp." "Hemp!" he mused for a moment. "I never would have thought of it... You know, I think you're right. Hemp could be the plant that could do it. Wow! That's a great idea!" We were excited as we outlined this information and delineated the potential of hemp for paper, fiber, fuel, food, paint, etc., and how it could be applied to balance the world's ecosystems and restore the atmosphere's oxygen balance with almost no disruption of the standard of living to which most Americans have become accustomed. In essence, Rawlings agreed that our information was probably correct and could very well work. He said, "It's a wonderful idea, and I think it might work. But, of course, you can't use it." "You're kidding?" We responded. "Why not?" "Well, Mr. Herer, did you know that hemp is also marijuana?" "Yes, of course I know, I've been writing about it for about 40 hours a week for the past 17 years." "Well, you know marijuana's illegal, don't you? You can't use it." "Not even to save the world?" "No. It's illegal," he sternly informed me. "You cannot use something illegal." "Not even to save the world?" we asked, stunned. "No, not even to save the world. It's illegal. You can't use it. Period. "Don't get me wrong. It's a great idea," he went on, "But they'll never let you do it." "Why don't you go ahead and tell the Secretary of Agriculture that a crazy man from California gave you documentation that showed that hemp might be able to save the planet and that your first reaction is that he might be right and it needs some serious study? What would he say?" "Well, I don't think I'd be here very long after I did that. After all, I'm an officer of the government." "Well, why not call up the information on your computer at your own USDA library? That's where we got the information in the first place." He said, "I can't sign out that information." "Well, why not? We did." "Mr. Herer, you're a citizen. You can sign out for anything you want. But *I* am an officer of the Department of Agriculture. Someone's going to want to know why I want all this information. And then I'll be gone." Finally, we agreed to send him all the information we got from the USDA library, if he would just look at it. He said he would, but when we called back a month later, he said that he still had not opened the box that we sent him and that he would be sending it back to us unopened because he did not want to be responsible for the information now that the Bush administration was replacing him with their own man. We asked him if he would pass on the information to his successor, and he replied, "Absolutely not." In May, 1989, we had virtually the same conversation and result with his cohort, Dr. Gary Evans of the US Department of Agriculture and Science, the man in charge of stopping the global warming trend. In the end, he said, "If you really want to save the planet with hemp, then you (hemp/marijuana activists) would find a way to grow it without the narcotic (sic) top -- and then you can use it." This is the kind of frightened (and frightening) irresponsibility we're up against in our government. (c)opied right from The Emperor Wears No Clothes, page 12. (c)1985 Jack Herer (c)1990 HEMP Publishing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marijuana vs Tobacco - Which is worse? -Bloody Afterbirth- \paraphrased from The Emperor/ !@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@! I have gotten tired of hearing about how marijuana does as much damage to your lungs as 20 cigarettes. I saw recently someone's estimation that Cannabis is as bad as 115 cigarettes. Now, while I think he probably meant 15, it still shows the misconceptions people have about how damaging Cannabis really is. I've been doing a lot of research lately for a paper I'm doing on Marijuana, and this is the data I have found on Marijuana vs Tobacco... *&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&*&^%$#@!@#$%^&* Brain Damage In 1974, California's governer Ronald Reagan told the LA Times that "the most reliable scientific sources say permanent brain damage is one of the inevitable results of the use of marijuana." He was referring to the Heath/Tulane University study. The results of that study are almost like a Bible for drug prohibitionists, and they are widely distributed as "evidence" that marijuana kills brain cells. With this study, monkeys were made to smoke a godawful amount of pot (the equivalent of 30 joints a day), and began to die after three months. Heath opened the brains of the dead monkeys and, comparing the number of dead brain cells in them to those in monkeys which had not smoked marijuana, found out that the ones who HAD smoked pot had very very many dead brain cells. On the surface, this looks bad for marijuana. But the real story behind that research wasn't found out until later. The monkeys were strapped into chairs and gas masks and then were forced to smoke the equivalent of "63 Colombian strength joints" in five minutes, through the gas masks, losing no smoke. Obviously the monkeys couldn't breathe any oxygen (otherwise known as suffocation). The Heath report left out the huge amount of carbon monoxide the monkeys were forced to inhale while smoking all of this pot. It is produced by anything that is burning...a cigarette, a joint, a house. . . Carbon Monoxide is the same shit that comes out of our exhaust pipes. The reason why running your car in a closed garage will kill you after a while. It kills brain cells dead (heh heh). The monkeys weren't getting any oxygen, and 3-5 minutes of that alone would kill brain cells. That, coupled with the Carbon monoxide they were inhaling, makes it very obvious that the brain damage was caused by suffocation and Carbon monoxide poisoning. Researchers consider the implications of marijuana to be foolish and, to be blunt, wrong, because of the other factors of this research left out of the report. Grey Matter Everyone has heard of the "grey matter" (the most recent term I've heard applied to it) that gunks up your system after you smoke a joint. This is the same stuff that the urinalysis tests can discover up to a month after you get high...The "grey matter" is actually THC metabolites, and they do indeed stay in the body that long... However, contrary to reports of how bad this "grey matter" is, the active ingredients in THC are used up in the first two passes through the liver. The remaining metabolites are inert and attach to fatty deposits so your body can get rid of them later. This is a perfectly natural thing for metabolic "leftovers" to do. Lung Damage I will say up front that any hot smoke you are breathing into your lungs is bad for your lungs...That should be obvious even to the most ignorant of people. And, I will also admit that smoking marijuana is more damaging to your lungs than tobacco smoke. When you are smoking the leaves. That's right, the leaves. Except in desperate times, most people smoke the buds if there is any way possible. The buds contain, at the most, 1/3 as many carcinogenic tars as tobacco. And almost all of the carcinogens will be removed from the smoke by using a water bong. This is something the government casually forgets to mention. Even so, the hot smoke WILL hurt the lungs some, no matter what you're smoking. 1 - A water bong cools the smoke 2 - A heavy pot smoker would smoke about 6 joints day. 3 - A tobacco smoker can smoke 20-60 cigarettes a day. Smoking 6 joints with cooled down smoke is obviously not going to do anywhere near as much damage to your lungs as 20-60 cigarettes will do. Fetal Juice can attest to how bad an experience it is to use tobacco in a bong, so that option is not open to tobacco smokers. And, marijuana is also nowhere near as addictive as heroin...tobacco is. Something else they neglect to mention is that one can eat marijuana and get stoned with absolutely no damage what-so-ever...ever tried to eat tobacco? I did once, and I can tell you it is not an experience you will voluntarily repeat. A Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA did a report in which he (in accordance with others) stated that there has NEVER been a case of lung cancer caused by smoking marijuana. He compared the effects of marijuana and tobacco smoking on 29 areas of the lungs. There was one and ONLY one area of them that was more irritated by marijuana than by tobacco. The large air passageway. Marijuana is 15 times more irritant in that place only. In all the other areas, marijuana smoke has either a neutral or a positive effect. (The smoke dilates the smaller air passages allowing more oxygen to be taken into your lungs) Smoking anything will do damage in the form of pre-cancerous lesions. These lesions are simply any tissue abnormality (abrasions, eruptions, redness, etc). Those lesions caused by tobacco are radioactive, those caused by marijuana are not. Those people who developed the lesions from tobcco smoking usually develop lung cancer from them. None of the marijuana smokers have. Yes, the lesions caused by tobacco smoke are radioactive. Tobacco is grown in soil which has been fertilized with radioactive materials. Studies have shown that smoking 1.5 packs of tobacco a day for one year is the same as having 300 chest X-rays using the older and slower X-ray film without any lead protection. Tobacco radiation remains active for 21.5 years. There is no radiation in marijuana. 340,000 - 395,000 people die every year from tobacco use. Noone has died from marijuana use in 8000 years. You decide. Which is truly more dangerous to you? (c)September 1990 Bloody Afterbirth/Toxic Shock ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDFA: SLICKLY PACKAGED LIES -keyed by Bloody Afterbirth- from The Emperor, p. 74 Another recent development has been the formation of the PDFA (Partnership for a Drug Free America) by the Media PDFA, which primarily in-kind funding from ad agencies and media groups. The PDFA makes available (free of charge to all broadcast and print media) slick public service ads directled primarily against marijuana. In addition to releasing such meaningless drivel as an ad which shows a skillet ("This is drugs." on which an egg is frying ("This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?"), PDFA is not above lying outright in their ads. In one ad, the wreckage of a train is shown. Now, everyone will agree that no one should attempt to drive a train while high on marijuana. but a man's voice says that anyone who tells you that "marijuana is harmless" is lying, because his wife was killed in a train accident caused by marijuana. This contradicts the direct sword testimony of the engineer responsible for that disaster; that "this accident was not caused by marijuana." And it deliberately ignores his admissions of drinking, snacking, watching TV, generally failing to pay adequate attention to his job, and deliberately jamming of the train's safety equipment prior to the accident. In another ad, a sad looking couple is told that they cannot have children because the husband used to smoke pot. This is a direct contradiction both of clinical evidence developed in nearly a century of cannabis studies and of the personal experiences of millions of Americans who have smoked marijuana and borne perfectly healthy children. And in yet another ad, the group was so arrogant in putting out lies that it finally got into trouble. The ad showed two brain wave charts which it said showed the brain waves of a 14-year-old "on marijuana." Outraged, researcher Dr. Donald Blum from the UCLA neurological studies center told KABC TV (Los Angeles) news November 2, 1989, that the chart actually shows the brain waves of someone in a deep sleep - or in a coma. He said that he and other researchers had previously complained to the PDFA, and added that marijuana user's brain wave charts are much different and have a well-known signature, due to years of research on the effects of marijuana on the brain. Even after this public refutation, it took the stations and PDFA weeks to pull the spot, and no apology or retraction had yet been offered for the deceit, as this edition of Emperor went to press. Perhaps a more valid ad for the PDFA to produce and the networks to run would show a skillet ("This is the PDFA.") and an egg frying ("These are the facts.").

The goverment encouraged farmers to grow marijuana/hemp for important military supplies in World War II - just a few years after marijuana was made illegal. According to this film, the "covered wagons" that helped our pioneer ancestors settle the west were covered with marijuana! Other articles I have read present other incredible uses for hemp: fuel oil, food, clothing, paper, medicine--even cellophane! How is it that our government could make a film about the importance of hemp to the war effort, show farmers how to cultivate it, and then forty years later start a war aimed at those who grow it? If George Washington, the Father of Our Country, were alive today, he'd be thrown in jail, have his possessions taken away, and lose all of his rights. Washington grew acres and acres of marijuana. The same goes for Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Gatewood Galbraith, who's running for Governor of Kentucky, has claimed that the oil companies pressured the goverment to make marijuana illegal so hemp-farmers would be unable to compete with the petrochemical industry. Since over 300,000 people are arrested for growing or possessing hemp every year, isn't this an important story? Please investigate this and let the people learn the truth. Thank you.

The legalization of marijuana would provide great economical and ecological benefits. Hemp is the best natural source of fuel, fiber, paper, and clothing.

In today's world the United States Government seems to want all efforts made to win the war on drugs. While they really aren't, relatively speaking, doing shit about it, can anyone say that they WILL win? Shit. With the awareness that (most) people of today have, and the severity of the "problem," it isn't likely that the war on drugs will be won on either side. While the majority will sit around and fuck with this stupid and senseless war, the rest will take a more intelligable approach to it and say fuck the whole thing and keep right on going as usual. First of all, marijuana legalization is becoming more and more a key issue. True, a large portion of the mary jane movement is fought for the sole purpose of getting legal rights for people to grow their own dope safely, the more intelligent of us want it legalized for different purposes (while free dope would be quite nice indeed). Such purposes seem to include "reversal" of the greenhouse effect, use of hemp fibers for methanol production, paper, and clothing, and for the magickal and ritual uses and purposes of marijuana moreover than just getting high and having a really good time. The problem is posed that if marijuana becomes legal that the rest of the drug movement will come forward wanting all drugs legal. All users will want "their" drug legalized, whether it be cocaine, heroin, meth, or LSD. Would it be feasable to have users take classes on their drug? Classes could be mandatory, in the process creating jobs and revenue, and instruct users on the potential effects and side-effects of the drug and provide them with statistics and vital facts before they are allowed to legally use the drug. For those who become dependent on the drug, rehab programs could be offered to those who want them, thereby creating even more jobs.

However, if you're growing indoors, and even outdoors, you won't get the quality dope you deserve without a little special attention and you'll end up with Merry Guano rather than Marijuana. If you keep your butt in the clear, you can beat street prices, which rarely fall below the last year's norm, by growing your own dope. This is not as hard as some people will lead you to believe, and with homegrown dope you at least KNOW what you're getting. The bad thing with buying from someone else is that you don't know if you're getting shitty harsh dope, dope with so little THC it wouldn't get a flea on a dog's ass high, or parsley and oregano. Now you know you're getting the real thing and since this shit's your own, you can take measures and treatments to get your dope to its best. The grass will need quite a bit of light, probably a minimum of eight hours a day. The plant will usually grow better outdoors in its natural environment and will also require little attention. You know what I mean by that; I'm not referring to watching your crop for the pigs and neighbors who will probably be arresting/reporting you and stealing your dope for their own use. You do need to take precautions if growing an outdoor crop, of course and as a standard knowledge, and for this reason the more sophisticated growers turn to the indoors. I have even heard stories of people growing dope in barns to avoid the scare of having their crop spotted aerially. Some people have been known to grow it in flowerpots, under their houses in the rich dirt, and other ingenious methods to avoid detection. I ran across a file done by an anonymous author, without even a title, about four years back on growing mary jane. It is an excellent file for the beginning grower and will help even the most experienced growers. I would like to give credit where credit is due, and have excerpted and revised information from this informative file. Some people begin their plants in indoor growing boxes and then transplant them to an outdoor environment. However, it is advisable to start the plants where they are to grow. This way there are no risks of shock of transplant to kill some of the seedlings. Prepare the soil by turning it over a few times. Add about a cup of hydrated lime per square yard of soil and a little bit of a good water-soluable nitrogen fertilizer. The soil should then be watered several times and left to sit about a week. The plants should be planted about three feet apart, as stacking them too close will result in stunted plants. The plants will be needing water during their growing season, but not a whole lot. Too much water around the roots will rot the root system. Weed will grow well in corn or hops, and these plants will provide some camouflage. It will not grow well in rye, spinach, or pepperweed. Our friendly Kentucky growers have always had a sizable advantage of course. Corn and tobacco are widely grown crops in that state. Corn fields are abundant. Intelligent growers seek to avoid having their crops being spotted by frequent air checks (as are known to occur in Western Kentucky) and resort to clever methods of raising their weed in tobacco barns. Both male and female plants produce THC resin, however, the male is not as strong as the female. Mary jane can reach a height of twenty feet and obtain a diameter of 4 1/2 inches. Dear God, answer our prayers please. The male dies in the 12th week of growing, and the female will live another 3 to 5 weeks. Female plants can weigh twice as much as males when they are mature. The marijuana soil should compact when you squeeze it, but should also break apart with a small amount of pressure and absorb water well. Turn loose some worms in your soil. If they hang around, the soil is good. If not, change it. Worms also help keep the soil loose. Your seeds should be green, meaty, and healthy appearing. Drop a seed on a hot frying pan. If it "cracks," your seeds are probably good for planting purposes. You should soak the seeds in distilled water overnight before planting. Be sure to plant in the ground 1/2" deep with the pointy end up. Healthy seeds will sprout in about five days. If you are growing in a room you should put tar paper on the floor and buy sterilized bags of soil from a nursery. You will need about one cubic foot of soil for each plant. Your plants will need about 150 ml of water per plant per week, maybe a little more, and should get fresh air. However, this air should contain NO tobacco smoke. Your plants should have at least eight hours of light per day. As you increase light, the plants grow faster and tend to show more females/less males. Sixteen hours per day seems to be an ideal combination. Another idea is to interrupt the night cycle with about one hour of light (pull out the Sears or Radio Shack timer if you're using grow lights in a room or closet). The room should be painted white or covered with aluminum foil to reflect the light. For lighting, figure on 75 watts per plant or one plant per two feet of fluorescent tube. Do not use "cool white" types. Your lights should be an average of 20 inches from the plant and never closer than 14 inches. You might choose to mount them on a rack and move them every few days as the plants grow. If you don't want seeds, just good dope, pick the males before they shed their pollen. The female will use some of her resin to make the seeds. About three to five weeks after the males are gone, the females will begin to wither and die. This is the time to pick. If you want seeds, let the male shed his pollen then pick him. Let the female go another month and pick her. To cure the plants, they must be dried. On large crops, you can construct a drying box or drying room. You need a heat source which will make your space 130 degrees. The box/room must be ventilated to carry off the water vapor-laden air and replace it with fresh. A "quick cure" method is to cut the plant at the soil level and wrap it in a cloth so as not to lose any leaves. Take out any seeds by hand and store them. Place all the leaves on a cookie sheet or aluminum foil and put them in the middle shelf of an oven, set on broil. In a few seconds, the leaves will smoke and curl up. Stir them around and give another ten seconds before you take them out. You can use a sunlamp on the plants as they begin to develop flower stalks. You can snip off the flower, right at the spot where it joins the plant, and a new flower will form in a couple of weeks. This can be repeated two or three times to get several times more flowers than usual. The following plant problems tips were provided in the file I used. Always check the overall environmental conditions prior to passing judgement - soil around 7 pH or slightly less - plenty of water, light, fresh air, loose soil, no water standing in pools. SYMPTOM PROBABLE PROBLEM / CURE ------- ----------------------- Larger leaves turning yellow- Nitrogen deficiency - Add nitrate of smaller leaves stil green. soda or organic fertilizer.

Operation Green Merchant was aimed at putting HIGH TIMES out of business by destroying our advertising base. Our readers have thwarted their plans: Your continued support has kept us in business. Instead, Green Merchant alerted thousands of people to what a sham and a scam the war on drugs is. As a result, dozens of organizations are forming to end the war.

FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF NATIONAL DRUG AND CRIME EMERGENCY. (a) FINDINGS.--The Congress makes the following findings: (1) Next to preserving the national security, protecting the personal security of individual Americans, especially children, by enacting and enforcing laws against criminal behavior is the most important single function of government. (2) The criminal justice system in America is failing to achieve this basic objective of protecting the innocent and punishing the guilty. (3) Reform is needed to ensure that criminals are held accountable for their actions, that they receive swift and certain punishment commensurate with their crimes, and that the protection of innocent citizens takes priority over other objectives. (4) The principle of individual accountability should also dictate policies with respect to drug users. Users should face a high probability of apprehension and prosecution, and those found guilty should face absolutely certain measured response penalties. (5) According to the Uniform Crime Reports issued in 1989 by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), violent crime known to law enforcement reached an unprecedented high in 1988. A violent crime occurred ever 20 seconds. (6) The Department of Justice estimates that 83 percent of Americans will be victimized by violent crime during their lifetime. (7) The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that violent crime in America rose by 23 percent during the period 1984-1988. (8) The National Drug Control Strategy reports that in certain large cities more than 80 percent of the men arrested have tested positive for illegal drug use. (9) According to the Department of Justice, the total number of Federal and State prisoners grew by 90 percent from 1980 to 1988. The growth rate of the total prison population during the first 6 months of 1989 exceeded the largest annual increase ever recorded in 64 years of recordkeeping. The 6-month growth rate translates to a need of almost 1,800 additional prison beds per week. (10) In 1985, 19 States reported the early release of nearly 19,000 prisoners in an effort to control prison populations, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. (11) According to the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics, 63 percent of State inmates were rearrested for a serious crime within 3 years of their discharge from prison. (12) The criminal justice system is overloaded and does not deliver swift and certain penalties for violating the law. In America today, there exists crime without punishment. Such conditions imperil the public safety, jeopardize the rule of law and undermine the preservation of order in the community. (b) DECLARATION OF NATIONAL DRUG AND CRIME EMERGENCY.--(1) Guided by the principles that energized and sustained the mobilization for World War II, and in order to remove violent criminals from the streets and meet the extraordinary threat that is posed to the Nation by the use and trafficking of illegal drugs, the Congress declares the existence of a National Drug and Crime Emergency beginning on the date of enactment of this Act and ending on the date that is 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act. (2) During the National Drug and Crime Emergency declared in paragraph (1), it shall be the policy of the United States that-- (A) every person who is convicted in a Federal court of a crime of violence against a person or a drug trafficking felony (other than simple possession) shall be sentenced to and shall serve a full term of no less than 5 years' imprisonment without release; (B) prisoners may be housed in tents, and other temporary facilities may be utilized, consistent with security requirements; and (C) the Federal courts may limit or place a "cap" on the inmate population level of a Federal or State prison or jail only when an inmate proves that crowding has resulted in cruel and unusual punishment of the plaintiff inmate and no other remedy exists. SEC. 4. DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of this Act-- (1) the term "crime of violence against a person" means a Federal offense that is a felony and-- (A) has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another; or (B) that by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense; and (C) for which a maximum term of imprisonment of 10 years or more is prescribed by law; and (2) the term "drug trafficking crime," (other than simple possession) means any felony punishable under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act (21 U.S.C. 951 et seq.) or the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (46 U.S.C.

(a) PURPOSE.--The purpose of this section is to provide for reasonable and proper enforcement of the eighth amendment. (b) FINDINGS.--The Congress finds that-- (1) the Federal courts are unreasonably endangering the community by sweeping prison and jail cap orders as a remedy for detention conditions that they hold are in conflict with the eighth amendment; and (2) eighth amendment holdings frequently are unjustified because of the absence of a plaintiff inmate who has proven that detention conditions inflict cruel and unusual punishment of that inmate.

"(2) The relief in a case described in paragraph (1) shall extend no further than necessary to remove the conditions that are causing the cruel and unusual punishment of the plaintiff inmate. "(b)(1) A Federal court shall not place an inmate ceiling on any Federal, State, or local detention facility as an equitable remedial measure for conditions that violate the eighth amendment unless crowding itself is inflicting cruel and unusual punishment on individual prisoners. "(2) Federal judicial power to issue equitable relief other than that described in paragraph (1), including the requirement of improved medical or health care and the imposition of civil contempt fines or damages, where appropriate, shall not be affected by paragraph (1). "(c) Each Federal court order seeking to remedy an eighth amendment violation shall be reopened at the behest of a defendant for recommended alteration at a minimum of two-year intervals.".

Regardless of my opinion of the political system of this country, I will say this much... The politicians will listen to you, *IF* you speak up. They will ignore anything they don't like, if they can, but if their voters, and thus the people responsible for their mega-salary-cushy-jobs, begin to voice their opinions, they WILL listen. It doesn't matter whether you are currently a registered voter, or even old enough to vote at all. They don't know this, and won't know it if you can handle yourself with maturity and intelligence. Besides that, if they do a good job, you just may start voting for them, or vote for them when you are able to, and it is very good publicity for them. So, whether you're pissed off about the drug laws, the terrorism that they call Operation Sun Devil, or any of the other issues we have told you about, or even those we HAVEN'T told you about, write your congressmen, your representatives, hell, even write that Bush guy. Write your local papers, the national papers, the major magazines. Tell your friends, your enemies, your relatives, and everyone else you can find about what's going on.
