And you picked a nice friend in Mr. Cleanscreens, it says a load about you! Maybe read some of his posts, oh right you just make claims about things, without knowing about things. Young fellow, you have amply demonstrated, you are BS.

Name calling, Warlord? is that your name? I prefer Wartroll, act like one and be one.

I don't make claims of Leadership, or have desires for it, I just do my thing, but I have no problem being taken seriously... and you? What have you done? Or is this just yet another case of those who don't do, criticizing those who do?

I see. So how long have you been a braggart? Heres what it means in case you didn't know.

http://www.aolsvc.merriam-webster.aol.com/dictionary/braggart

I believe maybe your having an ego problem also. When you feel a little threat you pull out your activismn to protect you, and to use it as a weapon.

On that subject here is a link for you to study.

"And you picked a nice friend in Mr. Cleanscreens, it says a load about you!"

Who says he is my friend? Do you think you pick my friends for me? Thats interesting that you feel so important as to think you can pick your enemy's friends for him. Heres the deal, I'll pick my friends and you can pick yours.

" Maybe read some of his posts, oh right you just make claims baout things, without knowing about things.

I know ya are but what am I? You seem desprate to link me and that other dude. Why is that? Are you needing to shift his actions to me? Or maybe mine to him? Are you feeling ganged up on? Please, tell me why you desire to link me and that other dude?

"Young fellow, you have amply demonstrated, you are BS."

So old man, you feel truth is BS? You claim to have had a religious experience after toking a joint as big as your thumb, and thats how you came to know jesus was on pot. You want to prove this for your aganda, not because you truely want to use it as some kind of religious sacrament.

"I don't make claims of Leadership"

Either way you are in the spot light. The way you act reflects on the movement.

"I just do my thing"

I love ego, it's so predictable. I reckon you better tuck that thing back in before you get caught doing it.

" but I have no problem being taken seriously."

Well, for me your looking rather pathetic. I kinda expected a little more. Guess your just not that tough.

"and you? What have you done?"

Well, I have caught a lot of fish. Wink wink!

Do you know what adulation is? I am thinking a little may be what you like. Or may a lot.

" Or is this just yet another case of those who don't do, criticizing those who do?"

Oh I get it, you feel your unquestionable. Your elite,and above others. Us poor lowly nobodys are not worthy of your presence. Snicker/giggle, I can see me and you are going to get along great.

Warlord

I`m retired Chris, and I have the time to make the rounds in my AO. I and several members of the Oregon med pot Act really do speak openly for marijuana law reform. The fact is my friend, that my dentist is a Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; just as almost all churches would react, I really don`t believe my dentist would receive your Goyem religious excuse to use cannabis. Justifiably so, I am forced to inquire of you; are you really an activist, or a destroyer of trust?

And another post that says absolutey nothing, from someone who has nothing to show for themselves... what BS. Like attracts like, you and Cleanscreens are cut form the same cloth, don't blame me for that.

You are a funny little man,I back up what I say with all sorts of documentation and affidavits from 3 well know professors, a Canadian Justice department report that largely verifies my own work, mainstream interviews, news stories, etc., and all you can come with is "thats BS" and "egostistical", never a point addressed, or even a developed view offered, Lmao. You debate, or argue, just like a scientologist, always attack, never defend.

My experience is that little people, just like you, often attack people of accomplishment, as those accomplishments are percieved as a threat, due to your own lack of such things, and thereby your ego is threatned..... sound right? How else can you explain your actions and unfounded criticisms?

"So old man, you feel truth is BS? You claim to have had a religious experience after toking a joint as big as your thumb, and thats how you came to know jesus was on pot. You want to prove this for your aganda"

And that is going very well for me, but its not just Jesus by any means, cannabis use can be tied in with the origins of Taoism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Chrisitianity. It has been often said that the method of telling a genuine epiphany from mere delusion is either by a sudden physical healing or if one is transmitted information which turns out to be true, and which you had no way of knowing in advance. Over nineteen years later, after collecting three massive volumes of documentation and with considerable academic support, I find myself believing in the veracity of my religious experience and the revelations produced by it more today than I did when it originally occurred.

"Either way you are in the spot light. The way you act reflects on the movement."

Yes, and that is because through hard work I have credibility, and thankfully, you are not there, and you do not have credibility, and likely never will be in the spotlight. Why is that? Are you destined to be just another critic left to voice his opinion from the bleachers... Good thing we activists don't count on the likes of you or heed your "advice", as it is all just BS.

"Oh I get it, you feel your unquestionable. Your elite,and above others. Us poor lowly nobodys are not worthy of your presence. Snicker/giggle, I can see me and you are going to get along great. "

Well certainly above you and Cleanscreens, Wartroll, that is for sure - wayyyyy above. You ain't even on the ground, you are under it. Now grab a shovel and dig yourself out of that BS, you are stinking this place up.

Oh sure you are Benji, your posts over the years here really show that. You and I both know, you reap the rerwards of others work, everytime you smoke a joint and make a claim about pot activism - put that in your pipe and smoke it. No wonder you have a love hate relationship with the weed movement. Now go back to your closet, where you have always been hiding.

Just tell your dentist to google "jesus cannabis" and get back to me. The truth shall set us free and all the trolls in the world can't do a thing about it.

Isn`t that the whole point in becoming a famous (notorious?) activist; to whine and bitch about how much more you`ve done and sacrificed(martyrdom) above what anyone else has accomplished? I do not want the dentist nor the city manager reading about me being busted for a controlled substance. Too often, simple marijuana busts are writtn up that way in the newspaper`s public safety report; once bitten by ye ol` drug bust, you`re headed for the offal pile where Hunter S. Thompson and others competed for top turd honors. Ain`t that a bitch? And if you go to prison for 5-8? Gnosticism is also a very bad road to take marijuana down with also. Yes Chris, mankind has used cannabis for eons; still and all, the larger number of Americans have either dabbled in it and quit or never smoked at all. Having gotten along just peachy keen without; it takes an awful lot of persuasion to convince enough peoplt that cannabis should be allowed.


Once again, I must protest that type A personality activists who will say or do crazy shit for the honor of having a microphone shoved in their face, and a camera broadcasting their entertainment are getting in the way of reasonable solutions to our problem.

Pot and Politics: Canada and the Marijuana Debate
In 1923 it became illegal for Canadians to possess marijuana. But the laws have always been flouted, by recreational users who just want to get high, and by medicinal users seeking relief from pain and illness. From cannabis cafés to courtrooms, doctors and patients, rabble-rousers and senior statesmen have engaged in a passionate debate over marijuana possession. But the laws have endured. http://archives.cbc.ca/politics/rights_freedoms/topics/652-3582/

Let us simplify this....you`ve got Harper`s cock up your ass and Layton`s pecker in your mouth, Canada!!!! Your forty yer old syle of activism isn`t working.

Actually, we have legal medical marijuana and legal hemp here, Federally, maybe you missed that. What do you have? What have you done?

Thank you for proving your a walking ego. The little people are the ones that make the real difference. People like you only hurt the cause with your loud and arrogant belligerence. The little guy that talks to the people that vote, and gets signatures for referendums and such are the real heros in the drug war. The little people that talk to the guys that work with them, friends and family about the drug war. You act as if your the reason for any change. I believe people like you are nothing but a thorn in the side of the movement. You undo the hard work of the real heros.

"You are a funny little man"

Why thank you. I believe humor is a good thing.

"affidavits from 3 well know professors"

I wonder how many professors there are? More then likely a lot. You got three you wave around a lot. I wonder, why do you have just three?

"sound right?"

Nope, sounds like you had no real answer to the threat so you tried to turn it around and pin it on me without taking a look at yourself.

"My experience is that people,just like you, often attack people of accomplishment"

You know I bet thats true. I bet you really are confronted by people just like me. And a lot of them too more then likely as people that can reason can see right through you.

"It has been often said that the method of telling a genuine epiphany from mere delusion is either by a sudden physical healing or if one is transmitted information which turns out to be true, and which you had no way of knowing in advance. Over nineteen years later, after collecting three massive volumes of documentation and with considerable academic support, I find myself believing in the veracity of my religious experience and the revelations produced by it more today than I did when it originally occurred."

Oh like wow man, thats so heavy. Like I totally knew this dude once that smoked a lot of pot and like saw god and was like never the same again and shit like that.

"Yes, and that is because through hard work I have credibility, and thankfully, you are not there, and you do not have credibility, and likely never will be in the spotlight."

Awwww man, "thankfully"? That hurts man, really hurts. ROTFLMAO@you.com.

"Good thing we activists don't count on the likes of you or heed your "advice", as it is all just BS."

So you think using truth instead of BS is BS? I think maybe your losing your cool because your ego is bruised.

"Well certainly above you and Cleanscreens, Wartroll, that is for sure - wayyyyy above."

Your showing your true mentality now. You see yourself as better then others when really your just a prick trying to be a big fish in a little pond. My guess is that you have changed no minds at all on the drug war. You may have gotten some butt pats from fellow stoners, but the reality is that not many people were swayed by jesus being a stoner. Can you point to one non-stoner that has suddenly went from supporting the drug war to not supporting it because of your theory about old oil? This is where you have to be honest with yourself because I could care less what your answer is to that.

"You ain't even on the ground, you are under it. Now grab a shovel and dig yourself out of that BS, you are stinking this place up."

Thanks again for proving what you really are. You think your special, but truely your a thorn in the side of the movement with your anger and belligerence.

Say, if christians used weed in thier religion, when and why did they stop?

Warlord

More scientology style debating from wartroll, hohum

How many Professors have you got to read your 3, 500 page, books? (none of whom smoke grass btw) oh right, you don't have any of either, thats why you don't understand that it takes a while to get that type of support. Such chldish arrogance. Other profs have read it, those are the ones i asked for affidavits.

Undo the hard work of others? you are a laugh a minute you anonymous little fellow. How about your attempt take claim for non-accomplishments. You can't even identify any for yourself....

"Can you point to one non-stoner that has suddenly went from supporting the drug war to not supporting it because of your theory about old oil?"

I've never really thought about it that way... I am on a mission from god I would continue with this path, no matter what the response was. Numbers of churches have formed around it though, all over the place. But jesus and the holy oil stuff, is by no-means the extent of my activism, i had Patriotic Canadians for Hemp from 1990 -1995 which went to universities, colleges and other venues to educate on that topic, the business Mama Indica's Hemp seed treats, the first commercial wholesaler of hemp food products, and also manufacturer of hemp clothes and paper pads, 1992-1999, then i ran pot.tv from 2000-2005 taking it to 12 million shows viewed, but all that fails in comparison to the effect you have proabably had telling your mama and daddy about hemp, as well as your puff buddies.

"Say, if christians used weed in thier religion, when and why did they stop?"

Considering you were unable to offer any arguement against the archeological, linguisitic, comparitive contemporary use and comparitive medical use, that was provided, that is a good and logical next question, we are making some progess.

Ever heard of the Dark Ages? Do you know much about how it started? That is where the answers lay....


From Cannabis and the Soma Solution:

As discussed in SEX, DRUGS, VIOLENCE AND THE BIBLE, [which goes into lots more detail -CB)it was likely through Paul, who never met Jesus, and the church in Rome which was based around his teachings, that much of the adoption of the Mithraic symbolism came about. For it was clearly through Paul a citizen of Rome, who was initially persecuting Christians, that a leader of the Israeli Independence Movement came to be adapted to suit the theological tastes of the same Empire against which Jesus and his followers had been rallying.

It was likely also through Paul, who seems to have been overwhelmed by his own samplings of the Gnostic sacraments (Acts 9:8-9; 2 Corinthians 12:2) and the Church which formed around his interpretation of Jesus’ teachings, that the later prohibition of the entheogens came about as well:

Likely, the rejection of the Gnostic sacraments by the newly forming “orthodox” Christian church, was done for similar reasons to that which caused them to fall out of favor in the Old Testament period. As the use of kaneh-bosm, [cannabis], became associated with pagan aspects of the Judaic faith, which patriarchal Yahwehist reformers like Hezekiah, Josiah, and Jeremiah so fiercely tried to excise, its use had to be prohibited. Likewise the Christians’ use of psychoactive substances became intertwined and associated with the ecstatic worship of the Gnostic branches [and influential cults like Mithras] and so, too, had to be prohibited. In both cases, the continued utilization of the entheogens, as in the faith’s beginnings, would mean continuing revelations from the ingesters.

The Roman church was more interested in creating an unchanging dogmatic code founded on Pauline theology than dealing with the ongoing realizations of Gnostic psychonauts who had traveled deep into the hidden realms of consciousness. As early as Irenaeus (130-200 CE), accusations concerning “secret sacraments” began being leveled at Gnostic branches from the Roman church, and this would seem to be one of the main points of contention. It is possibly here with Irenaeus, that we first see the entheogens condemned by members of the Roman congregation. In hindsight, it can be seen that the Pauline Church’s separation from the entheogenic induced ecstasies of the religious movement’s originators, accounts for the Church’s separation from the Holy Spirit itself. Throughout the Old Testament the recipient of the anointing oil interpreted its psychoactive effects as the Lord’s blessing in form of possession by the Holy Spirit. As Jesus himself is recorded to have stated on claiming his messianic mantle: “The Spirit of Yahweh God is upon me, because Yahweh has anointed me.” (Bennett & McQueen, 2001)

With the later adoption of Christianity as the religion of the Roman Empire, this situation was compounded and expanded to include the prohibition of all competing religions, an end result of which was the inception of the Dark Ages. The words of the early church father Ignatius show distinctly the substitution of the placebo sacraments of the Catholic Church, in place of the Gnostic entheogens, setting the stage for drug war hysteria that has lasted into our present day. “At these meetings you should heed the bishop and presbytery attentively, and break one loaf, which is the medicine of immortality and the antidote which wards off death but yields continuous life in union with Jesus Christ…. Thus no devil’s weed will be found among you.”

Finalizing the Dark Ages prohibition of the entheogenic sacraments, the Christian emperor Theodosius decreed that all sacrifice to idols, meaning libations of wine and burning of incense, were declared treasonous-crimes against the state punishable by death. “Many of these rites were hardly connected with the pagan cult....” (Seligmann 1968). Indeed, as much as for ridding the land of all pagan deities and their various Mystery Cults, Theodosius’ prohibitions were directed at ridding the Empire of the entheogenic sacraments and the shamanistic revelations they provided…

The Christian enmity [of the entheogens] is easy to explain. Since the Christians were promulgating a religion in which the core mystery, the holy sacrament itself, was conspicuous by its absence, later transmogrified by the smoke and mirrors of the Doctrine of Transubstantiation into a specious symbol, an inert placebo entheogen, the imposture would be all-too-evident to anyone who had known the blessing of ecstasy, who had access to personal religious experience... Thus a concerted attack on the use of sacred inebriants was mounted, and the supreme heresy was to presume to have any direct experience of the divine, not mediated by an increasingly corrupt and politicized priesthood. The pharmacratic Inquisition was the answer of the Catholic Church to the embarrassing fact that it had taken all the religion out of religion, leaving an empty and hollow shell with no intrinsic value or attraction to humankind, which could only be maintained by hectoring, guilt-mongering and plain brute force. (Ott 1995)

retarded thread!

yup bennet`s theory is stupid. who cares what jesus did 2000 years ago? and how does that help me?

he still has the right to test it. if he wants , same with the bud orical . just let them go and see what happens is my theory.

it might actually work or not , time will tell
