Re: Courage immortalized: Vina historical marker honors Congressman Carl Elliott

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 19:34:26 -0000

It's a wonderful thing to see Uncle Carl finally getting the recognition he deserves in the town where he grew up and went to school. It says a lot about the man's character that once he had some achievements in life, his primary motivation was to give a hand up to others through backing education for everyone.

What an on-point and thoughtful review. Thank you, from the heart of this lifelong Van the Man fan who continues to derive much from Morrison's entire body of work.

Oh, please. How is that an issue with a non-toxic? Just shut up and go away.

THC does that, as well.

Actually, only 3 plants in flower... plus 3 more allowed, but only if they're in veg.

Thanks, Lenny! I've been totally surprised and humbled by the great reaction to this book! People are still buying it and loving it, two years later.

You may well be right. My blood pressure wants me to assume it was an oversight...

As long as we creep around as if we have something to hide -- as if they fact that we choose to use cannabis is something of which we should be ashamed -- then we are perpetuating the paradigm of punishment.

Re: Let’s Set The Record Straight About Moms For Marijuana

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 17:06:28 -0000

You obviously don't have a very good understanding of this situation, if you believe "an article by Mickey Martin" imploded Moms For Marijuana.

Financially irresponsible and ethically questionable actions and decisions by "Serra Frank" and Cheryl Shuman are what imploded the organization.

Are you calling the veracity of dozens, nay, HUNDREDS, of Moms into question? If so, you have my mingled pity, scorn and disgust at your pig-headed cluelessness.

Re: Let’s Set The Record Straight About Moms For Marijuana

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:49:12 -0000

So, leaving people open to be exploited and ripped off by unethical people like Shuman and "Frank" is "productive"?

No. It's not. Get a clue. Thanks!

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 15:45:18 -0000

"Too confusing"?

Maybe for a moron. For the rest of us, would you terribly mind getting out of the way and shutting up, if you don't have anything useful to contribute?

Re: Let’s Set The Record Straight About Moms For Marijuana

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 04:00:17 -0000

Thank you for doing exactly that, Candace.

You have my highest respect.

Whereas, anonymously, negatively and cluelessly commenting as "Guest" on a blog post makes you look so VERY professional and on top of things, eh?

Do you even read the stuff you post, Keith?

Even the TROOPERS say the increased numbers aren't due to increased marijuana use. Even the TROOPERS say the increased numbers are due to increased enforcement.

If you identify so strongly with law enforcement, perhaps you should get a badge -- and when you do, mind that you pay attention to what your fellow officers are saying.

Wait, let me guess, @TooMuch:

"Letting the ego die so the cause may live" basically means "doing whatever you say"?

No thanks. FUCK OFF.

Re: Moms For Marijuana’s Lindsey Rinehart: I Will No Longer Be Silent About Cheryl Shuman

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:52:31 -0000

I'll tell you what, Shari Peterson:

While you worry about stupid, shallow shit like what people are wearing, and while you're indulging in your brainless star-worship, why don't you just shut the hell up, get out of the way, and let those of us who are interested in doing actual activism, do it, without listening to your annoying, clueless whining.

Deal?

Oh, speaking of "standing up to the scrutiny"? If your girl Shuman is nearly as "smooth" as you claim she is? This shit should be NO PROBLEM for her. So calm your dumb ass down, k? Thx bai.

Re: Moms For Marijuana’s Lindsey Rinehart: I Will No Longer Be Silent About Cheryl Shuman

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:48:24 -0000

If you really think the "image" being projected by Shuman with actions such as those in this article, and others, is the one we need in this industry?

You, Shari Peterson, have my pity and my scorn.

Re: Moms For Marijuana’s Lindsey Rinehart: I Will No Longer Be Silent About Cheryl Shuman

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:12:57 -0000

WRONG. The cannabinoids in smoked marijuana offset the harmful effects of the smoke.

Sorry, the science just doesn't agree with you and Shuman on this one!

"Legal ounces" are not yet a factor on either medical or street prices, since they aren't yet available in stores.

Even when they ARE available, I hate to break the news to you, dude, but they are going to be more than $12 a gram.

Re: Toke Signals: Natural Green Medicine

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 14:47:05 -0000

I hope you find something that makes you happy.

And I hope whatever that is, eventually, doesn't involve making fun of sick people.

Too late -- MARIJUANA became a part of our culture more than 50 years ago. I will continue writing and talking about MARIJUANA for the rest of my life. :)

I'm a writer. Never tell me how to do my thing. If I were a painter, would you tell me which colors to use?

BACK OFF.

Re: LED Grow Lights Make Growing Marijuana Easy — Or Do They?

Steve Elliott ~alapoet~ — Sat, 02 Nov 2013 20:48:59 -0000

The expense is definitely a factor; however, you have to figure in that these LEDs typically have 8 to 10 times the lifespan of HPS when you're calculating the cost.
