Welcome to Marijuana!
The region has been re-founded with the intention of providing NationStates' growing online marijuana community a vibrant and friendly region to reside, visit, and co-ordinate in. After several months of insecurity and inactivity, Marijuana is once again prepared to host the diverse and spirited conversation of those who have discovered the many wonderful uses of the cannabis plant (and inevitably, the (oft-negative) conversation of some of those nations who for whatever reason, have not). Conversation is always welcome here, but please remember to keep things civil and to respect the views of others; education, tolerance and entertainment are paramount!
Upon your arrival, please feel free to introduce yourself to the community- especially if you can see yourself loitering to puff a few with the Marijuana crew. The region is under construction, so please direct any suggestions, questions of comments to Permanism for the time being; once the region's population rises, a Delegate can be elected to act as a representative for the region. Until then, I will be happy to converse with anyone with something (constructive, or just interesting) to contribute.
So, please enjoy your stay here in Marijuana- let's have a good time and share some tokes and stories.
Puff, puff, pass!
pRc.
Marijuana - Brian Robbins
Well once upon a time in 1776,
Thomas Jefferson signed his name on a piece of marijuana,
and this document was a symbol of freedom and of liberty,
at least for the rich, white gentry.
As time marched along,
this plant that I refer to has been used for everything,
from medicine to the American flag.
And now it seems to me
that somewhere along the way,
things got messed up, yeah, messed up.
Oh marijuana.
A gift of God to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana
Now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Well some say a conspiracy
of the petro-chemical and pulp-paper industries combined
ha to kill the compitition.
Government hysteria,monopoly and conflict of interest,
with total impunity.
Yeah, so, if you don’t buy the conspiracy,
just look at the reality
that your tax dollars go
to spray poison on the fields of a farmer in South America.
And as an added bonus,
your neighbor might be the proud recipions of that poison weed.
Oh marijuana
now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana
a gift of god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana
you cant legislate your own morality.
Oh marijuana
the government wants to test me when I pee
Reefer madness, chronic sadness,
what is the half-life of bad propaganda?
Policies fail, denied bail,
you made him a demon now pay for his trip to prison.
Hired to promote the status quo,
but what is the shelf life of bad legislation.
The hypocrite smirks, it’s a moral disgrace
as he reads from a law that was written
about the same time that he had
his last original thought.
Well the men said he was dying,
and the nausea and the pain left him wasting away
and unable to keep a meal down.
So he tried everything a prescription could obtain
but to no avail.
The side effects were worse than the pain.
So now he breaks the law
to use the one thing that seems to help him out.
And the people say, Oh he's just getting’ high.
But not to change the subject but,
didn’t you ever wonder why getting’ high’s a crime,
yeah a crime.
Oh marijuana, a gift to god to my brothers and me.
Oh marijuana, now the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, the government wants to test me when I pee.
Oh marijuana, this is the part when everyone would sing along aha,when I pee.
Amen and Ja Rastafari to that brother! Somebody pass the blunt!
*opens up humidor*
Did you have a particular strain in mind?
The Marijuana dispensary has these strains rolled and on hand:
~NYC Sour Diesel
~OG Kush
~Lemon Ice
~AK-47
~Northern Lights
~Jack Herrer
If you are feeling something different, just let me know and I'll hand you today's full menu.
Welcome back, Cap'n!
Make yourself at home.
OG Kush will work just fine for me, thanks... =] (*inhales*)
Have you tried SF Dragon's Breath? It was the winner of the SF Cannabis Cup a few years back, highly recommended if you can get ahold of some.
Can't say I have.. I'll be sure to take note if I come into contact with any.
Up on the Left Coast I'm used to getting some pretty dank varieties of Kush (OG, Purple, and occasionally Hindu..), with a number of crisp strains like Jack Herrer, Kryptonite, NYC Sour (Diesel), Lemon..
I can't even begin to do the menu justice.
The climate is conducive to lush harvests and the long growing season ensures that some bomb outdoor varieties are widely available well into winter; the indoor is still usually tops, but the outdoor provides some stiff competition.
Down in Cali I'm a big fan of Afghan Kush....and for sativa, give me Silver Haze or Ice Cap....mmmm....
Ah, I like Afghan on occasion but it gets me too dopey.. I dig Kush strains to close out the night, but I prefer a crisp high while there's still light out (for the most part). There is usually some really nice Kryptonite floating around, and Lemon is another recent personal favourite.
Everyone, please feel free to elect a Delegate for the region once you get comfortable.
Please don't endorse me; as the region's founder, I already have access to the Administration panel. There should be shared access to the region's Administration, so I would encourage nations to get to know each other and consider "electing" a nation to the position. By endorsing each other, Marijuana becomes stronger and more influential region.
Thank you for the warm welcome! I would like to submit my candidacy for delegacy. I realize that I have only been here for just over 24 hours, but I would love to get to know all of you and prove my worthiness for the office. Thank you. P.S. I am not asking for blind endorsements to fulfill some power hungry dream of mine; I hope this becomes a more legitimate contest than that.
What's crackin, Marijuana?
I just made a trip over to Weed to request the creation of embassies in both regions. As you have probably read in the "News" update, Max has added an "embassy" feature to the game. Although we're still a budding region (har har..), I figured it couldn't hurt to start establishing a solid network with Weed to encourage the exchange of ideas and the passing of blunts. Feel free to swing by and burn one with the residents of Weed, I've put out the invitation for them to do the same. Get to know your allies!
Conservatorismo, I'm glad to see that you are eager to contribute to the region! Once again, welcome to Marijuana. Seems that you came here from a pretty mellow region Chill, so I'm sure you'll do just fine in your new surroundings. When there are more WA nations in Marijuana, and you've been here awhile, you should appeal for endorsements if you are interested in becoming Delegate of the region. In the meantime, why not introduce yourself to the crew and get comfortable in your new hangout. What's your scene?

Today's World Census Report (31/06/2011)
The Laxest Drug Laws in Marijuana:
World Census experts sampled many cakes of dubious content to determine which nations least regulate recreational drugs.
As a region, Marijuana is ranked 439th in the world for Laxest Drug Laws.

Congratulations, everyone!
Just eight days after the last World Census regarding levels of drug legislation were released, our region has substantially improved it's standing! In slightly over a week, Marijuana moved up 678 rankings in the World (from 1,117th to 439th)!
Don't worry AT- although you dropped a couple spots in our regional ranking, you are competing in a high percentile... don't give up; there are still innocent criminals being prosecuted in your country, yo.
6th ?!?!? That's it! I won't rest until every last citizen of Ablar Taim can burn one down -day or night- without worry or fear!
..."high" percentile...
heh.
In recent (American) news:
http://www.youtube.com/user/theyoungturks?blend=1&ob=4#p/u/44/fkMxrS8R_T8
"... Cenk Uygur explains how the National Cancer Institute has recognized several possible medical benefits from marijuana use. This could lead to having marijuana reclassified from a Schedule 1 drug down to a Schedule III drug in which case the government could not crack down on medical marijuana shops."
Encouraging news! Now we'll have to see if the government is willing to compromise on ideology in light of these findings. If the federal government's past responses to the reports by the Shafer Commission and the La Guardia Committee are any indication, it's still going to be a looonnngg road, folks...
As i said, i won't rest... First Ablar Taim, then the USA, and then... the world. ;)
But in a more serious, realistic sense, that is very hopeful. Let's hope that they soon realize the potential of marijuana and finally make some intelligent decisions regarding its legality and use!
Fastest growing economy? Clearly my population needs to toke up more and chilllllllllll ouuuuuttttttttttt
Whats up, folks?
So, we've got a request from the newly founded region "The Isle of Wight" to construct an embassy between our budding populations. What are everyone's thoughts on this? We don't have a regional forum (yet), so we might as well toss around some ideas on the RMB to keep things transparent.
As for my own views...
For the most part, I would be alright with this move. The more friends we make in NationStates, the better. However, I'm a bit concerned about a part of the (otherwise decent) World Factbook Entry:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The garden isle of England.
Feel free to move here. Anarchists, hippies, nudists and dopeheads are especially welcome. "
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not going to get down on people for their language most of the time, but this term is a bit derogatory.
I know this region is new, so this might just be a "working copy" of the WFB (which it very well could be).. I'm sure that the founder is chill, though. Whether or not the entry changes, I'd be down with getting to know the founder of the region in the meantime- could turn out to be a solid connection for Marijuana to make!
Let's hear your ideas, buds.
Sorry if you didn't like the term dopeheads. I will edit the factbook appropriately.
For those of you who are unaccquainted with the place, the RL Isle of Wight is a small island off the south coast of England. It has a pleasant climate (for England). Horticulture is one of the main industries, including marijuana growing. Folk here are rightly proud of the local skunk.
A second marijuana connection is our long and storied history of smuggling. The coastline is deeply indented, and in many places there is an 'undercliff', where the cliffs overhang to the extent that you can't see the beach from up above. Smuggling has been a major source of local income since at least the seventeenth century. It used to be wine and brandy from France; now its mainly hash and ganja.
And thirdly of course theres the Isle of Wight festival. The original festival was one of the real biggies- nearly up there with Woodstock. And in recent years its been revived, and is one of the main annual festivals in the UK- at which vast quanties of weed are consumed.
So when I decided to found a region named after my RL home, it seemed only fitting to propose an embassy with Marijuana. Quite apart from my own personal love of the weed, it seems only right that the Isle of Wight should have an in-game connection with the herb that has provided it with so much revenue over the years, and which continues to be enjoyed by so many people here- especially at festival time.
I'm in favour for the construction of an embassy with The Isle of Wight. The founder seems friendly, accommodating, and familiar with our nation's defining element- Marijuana. Here's to the sharing of many a slow burning joint between our two nations!
