Fat Blunts in Harlem
Boondocks: Mr. Medicinal..
Y’all know I love marijuana right?Yeah, y’all know that.
Y’all know I am not just some pothead either, right?
Yup, I’m sure y’all know that.
I went from schwag smoke to growin some fine ass Princess Diesel . When it comes to marijuana, I could probably run Oaksterdam. They should make me the dean or something.
Anyway, enough self-aggrandizing. I wanted to pay homage to this last Boondocks episode, Mr. Medicinal.
Let me get my beef out of the way first.
They should have put me in it. Instead, they put some ol’ regular stuck up dude in there. They could have had the super laid back, chubby Black Buddha type such as myself. With my mellow flow and superior knowledge, I would have made the perfect Boondocks character to cultivate and distribute high quality marijuana in Woodcrest.
Anyway, without spoiling it too much for others who haven’t seen it, I loved the way the episode went down. It pretty much covered all the bases – first time introduction to weed from Thugnificent, the rabid anti-marijuana knucklehead in Tom, the first smoke, being high, driving while high, trouble with the law, and so on.
But, most importantly, I think it caught a bit of that enchantment that people have with marijuana. We all know Granddad is an uptight ornery ol sumbitch that gets angry at the drop of a hat. But, when Granddad is high on marijuana, he’s a completely laid back and relaxed individual. As he mentions, he isn’t going to let the small things bother him. When you feel like that, you’re not going to want to go back. You gain better perspective because when you can treat the small things like small things, you can concentrate on the bigger picture being your life, friends, and family.
Yes, everything looks better, tastes better, and feels better, especially sex!
Anyway, I tend to get long winded and I wanted to try to keep this short and sweet. But, I can’t just leave it without spreading some knowledge.
“There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.”
– Harry J. Anslinger, testimony to Congress, 1937
After Anslinger’s racist comments to the US Congress, which they ate up, marijuana became illegal through the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act of 1937. Basically, this act dictated that you have to pay taxes on marijuana. The catch-22 is that you had to bring the marijuana to get the stamp. However, you couldn’t have marijuana without the stamp. The act was repealed in 1967 because a judge caught the catch-22 which was conveniently overlooked for three decades.
Everything was good until the US Congress passed the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. What a lot of people don’t know is that the CSA is a response to the United Nation’s Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs Treaty in 1961. This is important because to ban drugs in the United States, there needs to be a Constitutional amendment. The best and only example of this is the 18th Amendment which prohibited alcohol in 1917 and was repealed by the 21st Amendment in 1933.
Now, let’s tie this all together. How is it that the US needs a Constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol but doesn’t need one to prohibit marijuana use?
Article VI of the US Constitution answers that question.
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
In other words, if the US signs a treaty, whatever is in that treaty supersedes any and all laws in the United States including the US Constitution itself. So, there will be no legalization efforts at the federal level because of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs as well as some other treaties that were signed afterward.
What it all amounts to is someone using Article VI of the US Constitution to tell American citizens what they can and can’t do with their lives.
If you think for a second that there isn’t a racial motivation for this effort, at least in part, just look at marijuana statistics today. 70% of marijuana users are White compared to 15% of those users being African American. However, 60% of those incarcerated are African American compared to 20% White. Yes, there are people who would go through all of that just to get us!!
Check me on it. I always feel good about what I write, when I decide to write, for a reason.
Aha! Oakland Cops Getting Canned for Lying
Oakland to fire 11 cops in search warrant case [SF Gate via Drug Law Blog]
Let’s keep this one short and sweet. Simply put, these dirty cops were caught falsifying evidence to judges to get search warrants so they could play SWAT on innocent people. Because these idiots were caught lying the city of Oakland has to suck up not one but TWO class-action lawsuits. For the record, when you see “class-action”, it means a lot of people’s lives have been negatively affected by these 11 dirty bastards.
Police are their own problem
What’s really sad about this case is that although these police were caught red handed, the other officers and attorneys are bringing out every excuse in the book to support these animals. First there’s some crap about not training the officers by the attorneys for the lying cops. I have to wonder, what kind of training is required to teach ADULTS to not lie? Is that not something you learn as a child from your parents? Did these animals grow up without any morals? With the way these police officers act around the nations, it’s totally possible they did grow up without morals or home training. I wouldn’t be surprised if they lift their hind legs to use the bathroom.
And don’t think this is just Oakland. Remember Michael Mineo? He’s the guy that was sodomized by an NYPD officer in the daytime in a train stration. Even two other police officers corroborate the story told by Michael Mineo. Let me rephrase, other police officers supported the victim’s story. So, how do other NYPD officers react to this dirty cop sodomizing another man? They come to the court to taunt Mineo and call him a faggot!
And here’s that article: Police taunt subway accuserSeriously, how in the hell am I to have respect for police officers when they do things like taunt a victim who was raped. And, the very few that do actually have the balls to be REAL cops and tell the truth end up being drummed out of the force in some way shape or form. So, even when REAL cops do exist, they don’t last long in the department.
The Real Reason They’re Being Fired
Let’s be honest people. How often do we ever get a chance to see police officers actually be reprimanded for the willful abuse of their authority. The NYPD still consists of cold blooded murderers among the typical liars, thieves, pimps, addicts, and so on. This is because the NYPD protects themselves along with the judges and attorneys that also help protect the crooked cops. So, upon reading…
“These terminations are difficult for the city, but they show that honesty and integrity are non-negotiable for officers in the Oakland Police Department,” Russo said. “The terminations demonstrate that the Oakland Police Department’s internal review systems and reform measures are operating soundly and in the interests of justice.”
…I called BULLSHIT! Police departments do not FIRE police officers. It simply doesn’t happen. They will do their best to protect their members. Paid leave is the WORST thing a police officer will ever face even after cold blooded murder.
So, you want to know why the city of Oakland is really firing these dirty liars? Hey, even I don’t know but, I can take an educated guess. How about the economy? Cities and states are looking for any way to cut down on their expenditures. The worst expenditure any city or state can have is a class-action lawuit which can, and most likely will, amount to multi-million dollar pay outs. And Oakland has TWO of them right now.
And you know what, they just had another case in which the city had to pay out $10.5 million. Another bad expenditure is to keep proven dirty cops on the force. Beyond that, it’s costly to send the message to other police officers that their risky behavior will be protected by the city in the future. That’s 11 paychecks the city of Oakland won’t have to cut to these mongrel dogs which is money that can be used for more important things around the city.
Last Call
And, that’s hopefully a message to other police officers around the US to actually do their jobs PROPERLY for once! I hope that other cities in the US follow suit, especially here in NYC where a good portion of police officers need to be pink slipped starting with the 48th precinct in the Bronx. The memory of that 18yo beaten by five officers while already handcuffed on the ground as other officers stand around and watch will NEVER escape my memory simply because they arrested me for being a witness to their crime.
Suicide Shoe Bomber Assassin: The Art of Shoe Throwing
Suicide Shoe Bomber Assassin: Muntadar al-Zaidi
Iraqi Throws Shoes At Bush During Press Conference [Huffington Post | TPMTV]
The only thing that I believe is upsetting about this situation is that Muntadar al-Zaidi missed with both shoes. I can’t tell if this al-Zaidi doesn’t know how to throw things or maybe he missed on purpose. I believe that he missed because he doesn’t know how to throw shoes. Therefore, I’ve come up with a guide on how to throw a shoe for maximum damage, speed, and accuracy.
The Art of Shoe Throwing: Preparation
The Individual
There are important questions to ask oneself before throwing a shoe. Am I ready to throw the shoe? Have I had enough shoe throwing training? Do I want to simply make a statement or cause maximum damage?
Weapon of Choice
Just as important as preparing oneself mentally and physically, one should also choose the proper shoe – weight, size, shape, and aerodynamics. All of these things must be decided beforehand for effective show throwing.
The Art of Shoe Throwing: Different Shoe Throwing Methods
This Little Piggy
The “little piggy” is the toe of the shoe. Grab the toe of the shoe with the flat part of the heel facing you. Throw in a downward motion. You want the heel of the shoe to hit the target. It works with small shoes because smaller shoes are not as prone to wind resistance.
Size: Small to Medium
Weight: Light to Medium
Best Styles: women’s shoes: stillettos, high heels, low heels; open toe
Damage: 3 to 10 out of 10 depending on what part actually hitNote: There are five degrees of “This Little Piggy” depending on where you are located.
The Big Toe
This method was developed in Great Britain when an expeditionary group visited North Africa and witnessed the women of a small tribe use this technique when angry at men and children.
Grab the big toe of the shoe with the thinnest side facing you. Throw in either a downward or side-ways manner. You want the shoe to cut through the air effectively minimizing wind resistance for a high speed, high damage shoe assault.
Size: Any
Weight: Any
Best Styles: Any flat style shoe: wingtips, oxfords, slippers
Damage: 7 out of 10Note: Eddie Murphy is a direct descendent of this tribe [link]
Shoebola Virus
The bola, or boleadora is a throwing device made of weights on the ends of interconnected cords.
Begin by unlacing the shoes to give yourself enough string. Tie both shoes together. Now we have a shoebola. Holding the shoebola by the tied knot, swing it around building up the required momentum, then release at your target. The shoebola will deal damage as the string hits the object causing the shoes to swing around and hit.
Size: 7+
Weight: Medium to Heavy
Best Styles: thick soled; heavy work boots and shoe-boots
Damage: 8 out of 10Note: Once the person’s been hit, expect some skin to come off.
Sling Shoe
The sling is an ancient weapon used for hunting small game prey and then adapted for war by using larger stones. Normall you would keep the sling but the shoe itself IS the sling as well.
Simply unlace the shoe. Swing the shoe around by the string and release.
Size: Medium to Large
Weight: Medium to Heavy
Best Styles: most large shoes
Damage: 5 out of 10Note: Do not try to recover the sling
The Pharoah’s Gambit
This is one of the more primitive shoe throwing methods developed thousands of years ago by the ancient Egyptians. In the pyramids of Egypt you can find heiroglyphs depicting this ancient method of shoe throwing.
Grab the shoe and wildly throw the shoe in the direction of the target after which your guards will grab the target and go to work.
Size: Any
Weight: Any
Best Styles: Any
Damage: DeathNote: This method is still in use today. In one case, the Queen of England, in a fit of rage at her son, threw a shoe at the door as Princess Diana walked in to greet the Queen. Although she admitted the mistake to her guards…. (good thing I don’t believe in hell).
The Female Orgasm
This shoe throwing method was adapted by lesbian warrior women in ancient Mesopotamia.
Holding the toe area of shoe in your non-dominant hand, place two fingers, palm-side up, at the top portion of the heel creating a hook. You may use a thumb for stability. Pulling inward, swing up and around and release just above your head. You may use more fingers depending on the size of the shoe.
Size: Any
Weight: Any
Best Styles: Any
Damage: 3 out of 10Note: Do not try this at home (at least don’t try to throw the chick).
Hail Mary
Just like in football, the Hail Mary is simply a long distance lob that you pray will be caught. There is no real difference in shoe throwing.
You grab a shoe however you choose, lob it, and hope your hit your target.
Size: Any
Weight: Medium to Heavy
Best Styles: Any
Damage: 7 out of 10Note: I wouldn’t advise aiming for crowds.
The Iraqi JournalistThis is a variant of the Pharoah’s Gambit adopted by peasants as they don’t have any guards.
Grab a shoe any way you can and wildly toss it at the target.
Size: Any
Weight: Medium to Heavy
Best Styles: Any
Damage: 0 to 5 out of 10Note: Best done at press conferences
