This program on CBC radio one is a favorite of mine. I am very fond of these birds. Click the title for the link and listen to the show. Check out the embedded Youtube videos on the Ideas webpage as well.
I have an audio version (poor quality early learning attempt at audio editing) of my short story: "Crows on Crack"
Also, currently, I am working intermittently on my project "Stoned Crow Chronicles" written while I was at the Fraser remand center.
It's time, for the health of the human race, to get real about our drug policies.
These scientists are the leading lights in research and institutional knowledge development. It is time to pay attention to the facts and leave off with the political shysters. The only reason that drug prohibition still exists is because the state is using this law to increase police power over its population. The purpose is that it be used as a tool of oppression, an instrument of tyranny. There is no effect on the amount of drugs available nor is there a decrease in the usage, due to prohibition.
The reason given for the invention of prohibition laws, ostensibly to curtail the use of dangerous drugs, is thwarted by the lucrative reward created as an economic side effect of the law itself.
A century of studying Alcohol and Drug prohibition in prestigious institutions by intelligent researchers has reached this conclusion: Criminal law has no positive effect on drug use in society and is harmful to its citizens in creating an unjust, unlawful violent society.

There is a new better looking younger Oracle in town and he's smoking a lot of my Kush!
Is Richard Fadden trying to divert the attention from the real threat being bungled by CSIS? Click the link for the CBC article on the 53 year old man conjured up by gung ho forces to justify the 1 billion dollar bill for security.
The way Fadden, head of CSIS, was trying to divert attention to some vague threats from China on The National last night might have appeared to have been collateral LSD damage to some who have been following Far Out News, his real intentions could have been more sinister: Counter spin to swing media attention from the fact the CSIS has bungled the current threat response to Operation "Acid Rain"
There are unconfirmed rumors of crow feathers being found inside the box...
As Bud the "News" Oracle says: these culprits are still on the loose. CSIS is EAGER for any information concerning these crows. You are warned to be on the lookout for crows wearing the eye dropper delivery systems featured above.
They are considered to be extremely dangerous packing a mind altering load of LSD. Each is capable of turning on ten thousand stagnant hypocritical procrastinators. Do not handle or lick these birds!
Great program about a long ago time for me, today. Just click title link to download the mp3 from CBC
I'm glad the substance "research" into psychedelics is once again being investigated. It is a portent of good things to come, I believe.
I never even heard of Richard Alpert, Ram Dass, until I got on the internet.
The reason I did personal research then and now has always been the same. To go on an enlightening journey of some kind. The crazy stuff that is still being bandied about is pure BS in terms of it being realistic threat to the average person. Many more people are found dead by their own hand in the presence of, and under the influence of, alcohol, than will ever be related to psychedelics.
In fact it may be evident after research that many more people have been kept from suicide by their use of these substances than might be harmed by them.
I loved Leary's response to Nixon: "I have America surrounded" and can clearly remember the joy it brought to my heart. It was sad to hear that he betrayed some people but the prospect of prison is bleak indeed for a man like Dr. Leary. Who knows what demons drove his compromises. May he rest in peace.
A friend came by and gave me info on this new video on LSD by National Geographic.
I am enjoying it for the first time right now.
Here is a Fraser Valley connection.I have friends who make it only a small degree of separation from Nick Sand, although I never knew of him. His smile touches my soul, I believe exactly the same thing, thank you Nick Sand. It is the duty of intelligent and courageous men and women to bring this substance (LSD) to the masses, to those in government, for the benefit of all humanity. Psychedelics, especially LSD, are the only hope that the human race has to develop the level of collective creativity and mental awareness to tackle, and perhaps solve if we are lucky, the problem of monolithic complexity which we face today, imo. As we needed these substances early in the development of the human species, so too do we require a paradigm shift in our general ways of thinking today. The use of mushrooms might have given humans the adaptability to survive a disaster of major proportions before: the Ice Age.
Today the use of LSD might help us take a good look at ourselves and reorient our path to align to the natural way of things which will give us top satisfaction and happiness, but not derived from consumption. On the Current this morning two segments touched me as being related to this general theme: Pt 1: Fortress Toronto and Pt 2: Environment & G20 both touched indirectly on my thinking. Wouldn't it be great if these leadership people were slipped some good LSD? Those on the borderline of sanity, which by obvious observation are many, could well go over the edge. That would finally be a blessing for many of their subjects. Those who are left might produce something of value: They could cancel all future G8 /G20 meetings for a start.
We have endured a couple of beautiful summer days here. There are many people who are feeling a pinch work wise. My pickings are slim too. Thankfully I have had help to stay afloat while I was on federal holidays. I would have been too far behind the eight ball to recover if it hadn't been for some very kind people. Thanks.
These two videos of Marc Boyer's interview have got me thinking again. It is sad for me to see so little concern for a safer, saner society by repealing the Prohibition laws. That allows the corrupt justice system to cut us out of the herd at leisure while the rest of the world continues to graze on.
All it takes is a reasonable and just Judge who has an fine understanding of the law. Why isn't it arranged so that a Judge can refuse to hear a drug case on his own ethical conscience? I mean a few of them must read more than the old reefer madness literature. There is plenty of science out there proclaiming the truth: that prohibition works contrary to it stated goals. The cure is worse than the disease.
Intelligent people, some of whom are Judges in a position of power must be able see that our troubles lie in attempting to go against nature and control what people choose to ingest. I wonder why so few of them take a principled stand?
I guess they feel that they might have too much to lose.
Perhaps the difference between them and me is that I have nothing, and therefore the point is moot to me.
All I know is that tomorrow will happen anyways and it feels better to face it in good humor and optimism. Many many people are so much worse off that I can't even imagine their plight. Therefor I have no option but to leave fear behind and be happy while the sun shines.
I am glad my happiness is not tied into my financial success.
Fragmat left a comment on my Utube about introducing chickens to his backyard and dogs. It seems that they enjoyed the encounter although he didn't. I can only chuckle at the thought of what might have gone on. I hope he puts up a video of the action. I actually do feel part of a larger caring community.
Why wouldn't more and more intelligent, sensitive Judges understand that they are part of a larger drug using community and it is time to use reason to limit the harm done to society by these crazy laws. If anything addiction is only curable when treated as a health concern.
The dog park and smoking marijuana allows me some sanity to relieve my stress.
There are a few things that are bothering me of late:
Ignatief with his "cut and run" Bushism. As long as they got this "fackmack" I will never vote liberal again. I have voted more conservative than NDP since the last time I voted liberal and its because of this kind of BS. Before we purport to be helping teach Afghanis, while really being about American Imperialism, maybe we should stay in our native reservations from which many LIBERAL GOVERNMENTS HAVE "CUT AND RUN" IN THE PAST.
IS THAT WHAT HE THINKS WILL GET HIM ELECTED? It certainly doesn't reflect what Canadians want, according to the poles. Why not reform this country's laws and thereby help over 5 million harmless Canadians who are presently being persecuted for their choice of diet? Just what does Afghanistan's NATO occupation have to do with Canada's safety, when hundreds are dying of American drug war induced imperialism right here on our streets? Or...Why couldn't he promise to put into practice the recommendations which just came out of the Air India Inquiry?
The Rahim Jaffer Political hockey OT period. I'm getting kind of tired of this dog and pony show. It is about the depravity of the Government and they will just weather it out anyways.
The truth and reconciliation commission is something that needs to be thrown into the questioning mix, too. The plight of our natives and the resultant inter generational dysfunction is heavy on my heart. This is obviously an area we failed in right here at home.
I wonder how we can as a people proclaim that we can help anyone let alone from the barrel of a gun, as an occupier? This police/government unaccountability deserves immediate attention more so than Afghanistan. We haven't fixed our security dysfunctions yet from Air India. We were killing our own natives just yesterday (Frank Paul inquiry is just over)Dudley George, Niel Stonechild. The arrogant gall of proclaiming that we could help anyone, when we are a barely functional people ourselves.
Canadian Government agents practice terrorism on other harmless Canadians who prefer a different diet, using another tool of American Imperialism: The War on Drugs
And Ignatief thinks he can convince the world we are in Afghanistan for Nobel purposes so as to lie himself into office.
Shows you how overrated he was as having "leadership" potential.
Why not fix things here before we ram our brand of "democracy" down someone elses throat, while actually invading and occupying this country with the help of an unwilling puppet government?
Just how dumb are Canadians after all? Aren't 147 sacrificed on the alter of George Bush's failed Imperialistic yearnings, enough?
Why in the frig would I need to be criminalized for my happy safe and harmless choices, while these idiots wants to squander more Canadian lives for a lie? Last year's lie to be exact: "Cut and run"
This coming from a man who "cut and run" from Canada for a long long time living his life elsewhere. Yet there will be patriotic morons who will believe this crap. Thankfully they are dwindling in numbers.
Besides being a practice attempt at editing a video using one sound scape of a dog park conversation and a bunch of stills, this video is important to my political cause.
I am sitting at my favorite spot at Trout Lake trying to get a bird sound scape when a mother and son happened by. They were drawn into a spontaneous conversation over their love of the White Wolf. What is remarkable is the fact that I had my pot pipe in my hand and had been toking as they came by. She was perhaps in her sixties with him in his thirties. The event was totally benign and uneventful. Why would I need to be made a criminal over my actions? These people don't seem to mind my behavior. We are getting along fine.
Why would the government need to step in and control this with criminal sanctions?
Am I insane? I just don't get it. How could anyone in their right mind want to criminalize some like me? What is the friggen problem here Mr. Harper? Where is the need for government intervention?
Why would someone need to go to prison for five years for selling the seeds of this plant?
Am I nuts, or has the world gone over the edge? I honestly don't get it. Where is the crime?
I am very interested in the way the news announcers are quick to parrot the establishment line that "Researchers claim that their findings do not mean it is is safe to drive under the influence. They point out that people are more distracted while high." Yeah right but their performance is the same as those who are not high?
I will add to this post later after the wolf and I get some sniffing of the roses time in. This subject has been of interest to me since I realized that smoking pot probably helped keep me from making decisions that would have have likely killed me while Hang gliding. Yeah I slowed down, didn't make bold decisions while flying high. This is normally called caution when exercised in a non drug testing environment.
I can't honestly admit to being "impaired" in any meaningful sense when I am high. That is why I enjoy the state so much. It actually adds to rational thought, enhanced creative perception for me. This has paid off personally many times in my life, besides the invention of the Batten pocket repair kit for hang gliders:and the penny repair for a BMW motorcycle When a substance which alters while increasing your perception, makes one feel happy/non aggressive, kills pain, is medically beneficial as both cure and preventative and relieves stress comes along, which also allows you to realize that you should compensate by becoming more cautious, it is time to study it seriously without prejudice for the comparative benefits for our society it may have over alcohol. Isn't it interesting that the last century has brought humanity both prohibition and the greatest loss of life due to world wide aggression/conflict?
Here are some serious drug side effects W5 CTV The Dark Side Parts 1 and 2. I would never have thought such profound behavioral/personality changes were possible as a result of a Parkinson drug. They say in the article that it effects the same centers of the brain which controls impulses. This clearly shows me that addiction is a malfunction of molecular biology in the human body. The criminal code could not be effective against a biological chemical imbalance, could it?
At no time ever was I as dangerous as that poor lady with her addictions while I was driving on pot. I can just imagine her driving down the 401 furtively glancing for the neon signs of a casino or a male stranger. This woman was never warned by the manufacturers nor the pharmacists, nor the doctors, as are alcohol users never warned that severe personality changes, as well as loss of hand eye coordination and cognitive impairment can be expected from the use of this product.
I just had another enlightening encounter with a young friend who has dropped by to smoke a joint with me. He told me that presently he was seeking a second job in the evenings, perhaps doing dishes, because he has too much time on his hands and so ends up smoking too much pot. This revelation, he told me, came during a mushroom trip a couple of weeks ago. He quit smoking so much pot and is bored so is seriously looking to get a second job. If that isn't great reasoning and creative thinking brought on by the very substances he is using I wouldn't know what is. Enhanced self awareness produced by psychedelics which leads to a constructive change in someone's life is a great side effect compared to pharmaceutical crap. To be able to moderate your use of marijuana on an impulse reflects the fact that it isn't as addictive as tobacco or many other drugs.
I too have had no problem cutting back my intake because I can't afford it.
This young man's motto to me was "Everything in moderation."
Why should people who use these substances be criminals compared to those who get to swill alcohol until they become crazy, or use prescription drugs which are also dangerous? What kind of insanity is behind the rationality for this nonsense?
If people are not impaired by using marijuana, then why are we making them into criminals when they drive just as well as those who are not using it? Wouldn't we prefer people use a substance during recreation which leaves one unaffected?
Below is a high wind foot launch of a soaring machine much like the one I describe in the podcast above Where I invent the batten pocket repair kit.
Casey Hardison is currently serving a 20 year sentence in the UK for the manufacture of LSD, DMT and 2-CB. Casey defended himself using complex and innovative human rights arguments and continues to challenge the legality of the administration of the Misuse of Drugs Act:
Please don't forget to give to Casey's cause.
The very solid argument belongs to all, was first developed by Casey William Hardison and the legal foundation in search of Justice for Casey: Drug Equality Alliance
These guys at the "DEA" are true activists. Although I may be a recipient (indirectly) of their generosity mostly in 'SITTING IN' on the discussion format, I am honestly astonished at the level of commitment- let me spell that out- unpaid time and effort, that this organization has given to the cause of our freedom.
Remember this spending of a few bucks on your part could pay off in YOU gaining your freedom! Please find their donate button and spend freely. Here is the new battle cry.... Smoke one gram less per week and send $10 to the cause of this wonderful organization or Free Casey cause! No one OVER there is DIRECTLY concerned with Bud the "silly" Oracle, or, Klaus Kaczor and his gang of "demented" men, it is all about getting their wonderful perception of the law in front of a court anywhere in the western world. You too are welcome to contact them and state your case.That, in today's world, is far from the norm.

I am still carrying on this battle for sanity. I spend much time on the issues, and I hope to bring this case further than just the sentence hearing on September 2. If I can, I will ask to be heard at the Supreme Court level to get a stay in the proceedings on the much same argument I put before the Provincial court (See the bottom of this post.) To this end I hope to be able to raise airfare for an advocate from the Drug Equality Alliance to stand up and present the argument free of charge. The chances are not all that great, but we are working at the documentation to be heard at the Supreme Court level all by our amateur selves. It is our hope that we might get this argument before the courts somewhere in the world to raise the spirits and chances for freedom for Casey William Hardison who is still serving out his 20 year sentence. I don't know about you, but I can't just sit on my ass and dream about the times I used to get high, when this man and so many others are being tormented in prison for their belief in human rights. There is a strong likelihood that I too may be returned to jail at the time of sentencing but whatever it might be is nothing to the amount of time others are doing for supplying you with some nice psychedelic adventures to practice your freedom.
