Watch it, Research, THINK.

Please.

How do you write what cannot be expressed? It can only be felt..
Are they thoughts? They are everything. Tiny morsels of information passed down from God knows when...continuing. Just continuing. What else is there to do than be? When all is said and done, it call comes back around to the beginning.

Are you aware of your own awareness?

Current Interests

So I've had a few things that I have been getting into lately that I would like to share. First, I have been reading a book entitled Lucid Dreaming: Gateway to the Inner Self by Richard Waggoner. Lucid dreaming is a topic that I have become enthralled with as of late. I think one reason for this is because lucid dreaming is in the same realm as all other psychedelic experiences...after all, dreams are just DMT trips at night. This book has presented a lot of information so that one can use lucid dreaming to explore the mind. I feel this information could really lend a hand in the realm of exploring other psychedelic experiences.

Here's a link to the book I'm reading:

Secondly, it turns out that I will be taking Asian Philosophy this semester and in the spirit of that, I am getting into the art of meditation. More specifically I'm reading up on Mindfulness which is a meditation practice commonly used in cognitive behavioral therapy and Buddhist meditative practice. One man that I have studied is a Vietnamese Buddhist named Thich Nhat Hanh. Here is a good introduction to him. A youtube search will provide a wealth of information.

Check it out. Do your homework.

I'm Back

So...I took a long break once the semester began and I had to get back to work. But now I am back in action. Stay posted to find a real post coming shortly.

Marijuana Inc. on CNBC at 8pm

Don't miss out on CNBC's special "Marijuana Inc." tonight at 8pm central time. CNBC has a poll asking whether or not the reader supports the decriminalization of marijuana. The results have been a resounding 98% Yes. Yes we DO support decriminalization. Yes. Yes. YES.

Please America, end the ridiculously expensive (both monetary and personal) War on Drugs. It did not work, is not working, and will not work. Let's get smart about our drug laws!

Let's just hope this special will be an unbiased look at the marijuana industry in America. Be sure to tune in!

Change.org

So a website called Change.org decided to compile a list of ideas voted on by the American people to give to the President-elect. Change.org also claims that they will create ways to further the ideas in policy. This sounds good, but we have heard it all before. So what was the number one question?

Ending Marijuana Prohibition of course.

Change.gov (not to be confused with Change.org) is the website of the President-elect. It is currently compiling ideas to go into a "Citizens Debriefing Book" in which Mr. Obama is supposed to take the top ideas and work on while he is president. So what is the number one issue?

Ending Marijuana Prohibition of course.

Change.gov had also held two different instances of their Ideas for Change application of voting in which citizens asked questions to be answered by the transition team. What dominated both?

Ending Marijuana Prohibition of course.

We have several states currently working on new controversial legislation to join the many states that have decriminalized marijuana and legalized medical marijuana. Mainstream media is finally showing glimpses of giving marijuana prohibition a critical look. Polls show that Americans support ending marijuana prohibition.

So Mr. Obama...what now? You asked for what the people want and they have spoken. We don't expect to have marijuana legalized overnight by any means, but we do want to be taken seriously.

UM NORML update

Greetings readers,

I met with the University of Mississippi chapter of NORML's future faculty adviser Neil Manson today. He proves that this issue reaches out to more people than we think. Mr. Manson informed me that he had never tried marijuana for his own reasons, and that he was supporting us from a libertarian perspective. This is great. This is exactly what we need. It is important for people to realize that those supporting the legalization movement are not just some "lazy potheads." We are a group of individuals for one reason or another coming together to point out an injustice that needs to be corrected.

I am extremely excited about starting this NORML chapter and hopefully progressing an honest discussion about Cannabis in Mississippi.

Until next time, take it easy with a smile,

Peace,

Jason
