Funny I thought, I had got through the weed stash a bit quick, and for a week or so I had wondered if it was just me, but mostly that it might be someone else who must have blown it. I had thought that it may have been one of the older teens; well they are bound to try it on one of these days. As I expect they will also go out and get blind drunk on a bottle of booze, declaring never to drink again.

Young people now face an ever increasing minefield of different types of stimulants and depressants legal and illegal. They see our government advisers of drugs walking away and leaving their office posts as the government never does like hearing the honest truth about drugs. When I think back of how lucky we were as youngsters to be issued with our very own, comforting Just Say No, T- shirts!

Cannabis should never have been reclassified back to a class B which suggests cannabis is far higher in danger than it really is. I had been hoping that with more of our own home grown becoming accessible, that the passion of exploration could have been found more safely, as another generation enter the maze of powders, pills, potions and poisons, and take all the risks that goes with them.

Surly it must be better to learn to appreciate good weed, than is to blow plant fertilizer up your nose?

Well that’s it for me back to the garden pots as the Daffodils are beginning to die back  this is natures sign that it’s warm enough to get planting. I have my dreams of flowing fields, hundreds and hundreds of plants growing freely and naturally in the wild. Talking of wild, guess who should come walking out from behind the garden bush as bold as brass, his little doggy teeth tightly clamped around a small bag of weed. Just as well I didn’t say anything, best kept between me and the dog.

A bag milk chocolate drops

2 slices of fruit bread

1-2g finely powdered weed

8g butter or margarine spread

Beat the powdered weed into the soft butter combine well and spread over each slice of fruit bread. Top with a few chocolate drops and sandwich together, toast on both sides until the chocolate and butter have melted well into each other. Slice into small bite size pieces and share.

We were all very sad to hear of the loss of dear Jack Herer may he rest in peace, his work and life shall always be admired and respected as he has been a great teacher to those who do want to know the truth about Cannabis, best known through his campaigning in the USA and celebrated books of The Emperor Wears No Clothes.

Look after yourselves

Love from Eric
