Nuclear Waste. Is Bigger Better?

This is from the late 70's. Santa Monica Mountains. It gave a whole new meaning to the term nuclear waste. And no, I don't glow. <g>

 

Blanco Negro, hilarious

 

Dude i just checked your site.
Man change the AIRPLANE song to WHITE RABBIT!

 

Already been there. The music all gets changes every week or two. And though some of the songs are well known, I try to balance it out with stuff you would never hear on a "classic hits" radio station. Stuff like Tim Buckley, and Gentle Giant. Or "The Fugs"

 

I LOVE the Fugs.

Kill for Peace
The Belle Of Avenue A
Johnny Pissoff.
One of my fave albums was Golden Filth.
It got ripped off in '72.

Lead Singer Ed Sanders went on to record several solo albums and wrote a book about the Manson Family.
I wonder whatever happened to Tuli Kupferburg?

 

The band is still together. That pictures not a parody. That's the actual cover of their new CD. They were touring last year. Scroll down the amazon page to listen to some samples.

Fugs at amazon

 

I didn't see anything at Amazon that said "listen to samples".

 

What is that bud Luvhuffer? It looks like its made of Wookie!

 

Ranger. That's weird. I guess Amazon is playing games with links. I tried it and the samples were missing as well. Highlight "The Fugs Final CD" and copy and paste it into the address bar right above it and it will take you to the same page, but with samples at the bottom. (I hope)

 

i have a cd by ed sanders called sanders truckstop, i think like 2 number is jimmy joe the hippy billy boy. its a pretty cool song how this kid goes down the long path of being a hippy.

 

Lumpy. The story is they got ahold of some nuclear material from a safety engineer at San Onofre nuclear power plant and irradiated the seeds. Whether that's true or not I really don't know, although the growers were crazy enough to try something like that. They were trying the colchicine thing and everything else. The plant was a 20+ foot monster. That bud was about 18 to 20 inches long. Everything about it was out of proportion, so I tend to believe it. I photographed it in color and black and white with a 4"X5". Unfotunately I need to find somewhere to scan the transparency and digitize it. Until I do I just have the black and white print, which I colorized with paint shop. So the color is very one dimensional and flat. Other than that I haven't messed with the image at all. The color on the original is bright green with the red hairs. It was from a sativa seed, not indica, and the high and taste was very light and sweet. Like a high quality Oaxacan. It was a sugar coated giggler and not a headache sleeper if you know what I mean. <g>

 

Fukkin wild Luvhuffer! I could tell already its gonna be cool havin ya round ! That Bud looks like a Wookies dikk!

 

Your friend "got ahold of some nuclear material"?!!!
Scary.
I think irridiating seeds would kill them. They irradiate hemp seeds before adding them to bird seed to render them sterile.
And why did they try to cross it with colchicine, which I just googled and wikipedia described as a highly poisonous alkaloid?

Circa early 80's the brother of my best friends g/f just got back from Antarctica. He had been doing photography at MCMurdo Sound, a U.S. base there.
Heating, electricity, etc. comes from a nuclear reactor buried in the ice. Because they are cut off from the outside world for months at a time, they have a greenhouse where they grow fresh veggies & herbs, inc. pot.
So I smoked a bit of what he brought back and that leaves only Iceland as the only continent I've never smoked pot from.
Anyway, this nuclear pot was okay, nothing special, and no it didn't glow or anything.

 

Colchicine is a powerful mutagen as well as a poison and drug. It is used quite often in botanical research. What you do is treat the seeds with enough to kill them. You will eventually get some that won't die (that same technique would apply to irradiation). Those survivors, when grown produced these freaked out polyploidal hermaphroditic plants. The goal in pot growing unlike flower breeding for instance, is not to change the appearance of the plant so much as it is to change the chemical properties of the psychotropic alkaloids. i.e. the Delta9 Tetrahydrocannabinol, thereby changing the high. The change however is not controllable and may or may not produce an improved high. Also, you cannot smoke the plant until the 3rd generation, where the colchicine is no longer present, so it is a bit of a long process. Do a google for colchicine marijuana. There is a lot of information on it out there. It has been around since the late 60's early 70's.

 

What would you consider "an improved high"?

 

A 10 minute orgasm?!? LOL Everyone it seems is always looking for bigger or better. There is a wide variety of different pot highs. The worst I ever smoked? From the U.S. governments pot farm at the University of Mississippi. Sealed in a test tube with a screw off cap, with a stamp like a booze bottle and labelled "D9THC 3.9% For Investigational Use Only USDA. It was like a k pot headache high. Ever smoke K pot from Kansas?

 

Well, 3.9% THC isn't all that much in the first place, and if the stuff was old, it was most likely degraded somewhat from the original content. THC breaks down with age...

3.9% put that stuff on the low end of commercial ditchweed, or in other words, just about right for government weed. The government pot farm is well known for cranking out shitty weed, in order to minimise any medical value which might be found by researchers. Most med-pot researchers have caught onto this trick, and try to obtain decent pot for their studies, often from Canada.

 

You have to understand how the government worked. The vials had the same little tax stamps that close booze bottles. The label said "For investigational use only" They would grind up everything, soak it, then dry it to produce a consistant D9THC level throughout the whole sample. The content would be marked on the side of the vial label. And yes incredibly, 3.9% was the best they had! LOL The sugar water, coca cola, soaked pot, pressed kilos from the early '60's (multi-colored saran wrap ones, that were like $75) were better than that shit.

It's obvious that the government is clueless to the fact that sativa and indica have different psychotropic properties as well. Not to mention localized properties dependent on microbial content and action in the indigenous soil. That's why Colombian sativa seeds, and Mexican sativa seed produce different highs and tastes, yet when grown together domestically will produce plants that taste and look the same.

LOL Ellis I like your quote. My dad had a different view. He used to say society was like a pail of shit. The more you stir it the worse it stinks.
