One thing is clear.  Corbe's weed is a gateway drug on this thread.  Only the second page, and we are already up to acid and smack.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

-Ayn Rand-

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Back in the day in DC, when a particularly high potency batch of heroin would hit town, DC General would begin filling up with overdose cases.  The local news channels would make a public service announcement about the ODs, naming the product (e.g Black Madness) and the area where it was purchased (e.g 7th and P Streets).  Within 15 minutes, every junkie in DC would be at that corner trying to score some of that Black Madness smack.
I remember hearing about a bad batch of LSD called "sunshine pills" in DC and over to the Eastern Shore, where whoever made them up put too much strychnine in them and the trip would last forever...The radio was crammed with PSAs to NOT take them...

Sounds right.  The Hygrometers for the battery and antifreeze were in the top of all toolboxes back then.

They put those stupid bubble eye thingies on the battery's about that time.

edit  I still have a antifreeze reader.  I don't know why in hell...but I do.   I guess I like to see all the balls float up to tell me I am protected to 50 degree above zero!

I left my anti-freeze Hygrometer back in Michigan in 1979.

My brother had those tools, back when cars had points, coils, condensers and distributor caps you had to turn to set dwell (God save ya if you didn't tighten the setscrew tight enough!).  Why did the engine always run like shit when you set dwell to the correct spec for "off dead center?"  Craftsman was the best!

   I still have a dwell/tachometer and I use to drop a lot of purple microdot but believe it or not, 'Orange' mescaline was my favorite, very mellow. 
   Might explain my TDS to this day.

IIRC, R-12 is still worth money (I have a couple of cans).

I know it went from $99/tank to $999/tank overnight.

I believe it.   :tongue2:
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I preferred the orange, too.  I did the blue microdot exactly twice before I said, "Uh, no."  I have to remember wayyyy back to that Dead concert I went to.
