Guerrilla Marijuana Farming – My Field Busted!

Jul 7

Posted by Bobby Revell in Humor, Nutrition - Health

I’ve been through some sticky situations in my life and have made some serious errors in judgment. I was around 22 years old and partying like a fool when a friend and I decided to grow marijuana. My friend’s name is Roy, but I will not reveal his last name as he probably wants no association with this article. All I can say is we were like dumb and dumber, though we had a lot of fun – what I can remember of it.

Our first attempt to grow pot went great. We read all the best books, which we ordered from the pinnacle of intelligence, High Times Magazine. I became a guerrilla farming expert in about a month. I could identify a magnesium deficiency at a glance and was an expert on parasites. I even mixed up my own natural bug repellent to spray on the plants so our product contained no insecticides. From that experience, I gained the knowledge to grow any plant, from vegetable to trees. I have a strong background in chemistry, so that knowledge came in handy for testing soil and so forth.

The Hypocrisy of Alcohol Versus Drugs

Apr 16

Posted by Bobby Revell in issue awareness, Nutrition - Health, thought

I don’t know all the drug and alcohol laws in every country, but here in America, hypocrisy is the golden rule. The way society and law enforcement perceives drugs is an outrage. I find it disgusting how liquor guzzling people look down on those who use drugs. This may sound like a bizarre statement to many – please read on.

Does Occasional Use Make You An Addict?

If a person drinks beer occasionally or maybe has a glass of wine with meals, they are considered normal. If a person smokes pot or snorts an occasional line of cocaine, they are widely viewed as a scumbag drug addict. By that same rationale, if marijuana were legal, it would be considered normal to smoke it and would lose the drug addict label. I find it amazing that one of the most dangerous drugs known, alcohol, is legal. Not only is it legal, it is socially acceptable. It is considered a reward for a hard day work or for a celebration of any kind. It is advertised everywhere and incessantly tantalizes young people. Don’t you love the funny beer commercials during the superbowl? It’s socially acceptable to be a legal drug abuser.

Imagine these ladies having crack pipes instead – how would it change your perception?

Alcohol is made into fancy, colorful and delicious mixed drinks. Influential actors and musicians are famous for being drinkers and drug users – they are admired for it. I would argue that musicians like The Beatles, Jim Morrison and Jimi Hendrix would have not been as good without using drugs. I’m not saying you should use drugs to improve your artistic abilities, but certainly affected the minds of these people. I have made millions of drinks for millions of discerning alcohol drinkers, it’s like bartending in a crack house. In Burma and Thailand, methamphetamine is known as yaba. It is offered in strawberry, banana and other assorted flavors – how horrifying is that? To make a dangerous drug taste like candy so it appeals to children certainly is a terrible thought. Alcohol based mixed drinks are the same thing! The difference is, one is legal, the other is not.

You maybe thinking that methamphetamine is by far worse than alcohol. I hate to tell you, it is not. Alcohol kills more people than all drugs combined. Alcohol is physically addictive; methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms, peyote and LSD are not. A highly addicted alcoholic can die from the withdrawal, much like a person addicted to xanax or heroin can.

95% of all drug related deaths worldwide are caused by alcohol and tobacco

To see a judge sentence a 19 year old to prison for 8 years on a first offense drug charge because they had one 10mg valium is an absolute injustice – especially if that judge goes home and drinks a liter of scotch. I saw that happen yesterday and it really got under my skin ( I am only hypothesizing about the judge drinking). Nearly all young people will try drugs or get drunk at some point. Most will outgrow their use, but many will end up destroying their lives. I have what I consider the most accurate comparison chart of respective dangerous drugs including alcohol here: drug comparisons.

Should Drugs Be Decriminalized?

I believe that drugs should be completely decriminalized in favor of treatment. It’s ridiculous to send someone to prison because they are caught with drugs. Prison will only worsen things and ruin that person’s life; however, a person selling large quantities of illicit substances, does deserve prison.

So I ask you, should alcohol be illegal? Should the laws be changed in favor of treatment for people? One of the oldest arguments is that if alcohol is legal, then marijuana should be legal too; it is in some states and countries. In my opinion, marijuana should be legal. If not, then make alcohol illegal.

What is a more difficult drug addiction to conquer: cocaine or alcohol? I would say that alcohol is much more difficult for most people. What is another completely legal drug that is one of the most difficult to quit of all? Tobacco. To quit smoking cigarettes is probably as difficult as heroin or alcohol, maybe even more!

The point is, we all live in an extremely biased world filled with hypocrisy. I believe that all substances that alter the mind are bad for you. They destroy lives, cause heart attacks, cancer, cirrhosis of the liver, brain damage and so forth. I will never personally judge someone for using drugs. I will however help them if they want it. What bothers me to no end is someone who drinks alcohol saying something negative about a drug user. If you drink alcohol, even in scarce moderation, you too are a drug user and are no better than a crack head…period. If the previous sentence offends you and you drink, you might be a hypocrite! We are all equal and should be treated as such.

Ten Things That happened

Aug 10

Posted by Bobby Revell in memes

Janice from This is a Miracle Tagged me on 10 Things that happened to me: link to post

This will be extremely embarrassing as I will reveal things most people would never tell anyone.

1. I was the manager of a health food store in an outlet mall. The manager from the store next to me was a very pretty girl who always came to talk to me. We ended up going out one night after work. We ate at Burger King (bleechhhh) to start our romantic interlude. After enjoying our conveyor belt steamed, machine fabricated meat patties on a bun they call hamburgers, we parked under the dim streetlight outside the closed mall (oh yeah). We fogged the windows in a scorching display that would have made my family break out their camcorders. We took a break and the light hit her face at the perfect angle to reveal a most ghastly surprise. Three very long whiskers grew from under her chin almost touching her neck. I thought hard and finally decided to say something rather then leaving with no explanation. I asked her if she knew about these three long chin hairs. She asked me if I wanted to play with them. I said, I have to go home and shave immediately. She started dating a 7′ tall albino guy who wore an Elton John t-shirt the very next day.

2. I was suspended from highschool the maximum of 27 days per semester for 3 years straight and had Saturday detention every Saturday all 3 years.

3. I helped a friend and his uncle do some work one day and made several trips in my truck with two of his cousins. The sun was setting so we called it a day. I live two miles away and while driving home a cop pulled me over. I asked why he stopped me and he said that I put my seatbelt on as I was being stopped trying to hide my crime. He asked me to step out the truck and searched me. Three cop cars pulled up and they foot-cuffed me. He walked to the passengers side door, reached under the seat and pulled out a cigarette pack. In it was a small amount of marijuana, a xanax, and a gram of methamphetamine. I was white as a ghost. They took me to the hospital for a blood test which was of course negative. I took urine tests twice a week for a while and went to court – the xanax and pot charges were dropped. It may be a few more years before I go to court for the meth. At worst I’ll have a big fine. Needless to say, I don’t talk to my friend anymore. Luckily, I have never been arrested for anything and my lawyer said 99% chance they’ll reduce it to a non-felony charge thank God. Weeks later my friend was arrested and is still in jail. Now, I ask people before they get in my vehicle to make sure they don’t have anything on them. I had no idea my friend did all these drugs, but now I know that you don’t have to look like a drug addict to be one.

4. I spent three weeks hand making a friend a custom shop bass guitar. It was absolutely immaculate. Black-cherry lacquered flamed maple finished, it was striking. One of my best builds ever. Three days after I gave it to my friend who was in tears from the gift, the bass was stolen by his roommate never to be seen again. Ouch.

5. I caught my grandmother covered in toothpaste one day. She said. “I’m so sorry Bobby, I squeezed it all out by accident – but don’t worry, I pushed and rubbed most of it back in the tube.” Her hands sheathed in what looked like melted plastic white gloves. I thanked her and gave her a hug.

6.I once got kicked in the groin so hard it ruptured one of my testicles. I did however, win the fight.

7.I have had all my toes broken at least 10-15 times kickboxing. I have had my nose broken 5 times. I’d do it all again:)

8. A girlfriend from while back came over and while looking in a cabinet, a giant tree roach jumped from a shelf onto her face. Our date was ruined. I never saw another roach in that house, only that one.

9. My grandmother, old and confused accused me of having a crying baby under my bed. I told her to slide a bowl of water under it if I came home late. I took care of her her three last years.

10. One Christmas my grandmother opened the present I gave her before my entire family. It was watermelon flavour, lickable liquid body candy. To this day, I have no idea where it came from :smile:

I haven’t picked my tagged people yet, I had to release this first as I am tired. If you want me to tag you I will. I’ll add my 5 picks tomorrow :smile:
