Lecture 001 Reading: PoMJ Preface

Forbidden Knowledge Cannabis and Paradigm Shift By Prof Tim During the 20th century, Harry Anslinger (1892-1975) waged one of the most successful disinformation campaigns in US history (Galliher, et al., 1997). Anslinger served from 1930-1962 as the founding commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (McWilliams 1990). When Anslinger launched his anti-cannabis crusade in the 1930s most people viewed cannabis as a harmless weed. Cannabis grows wild throughout the world and no one has ever died from ingesting it (Lee 2012). In fact, cannabis has been used for thousands of years as a remarkably versatile natural resource and as a treatment for a wide range of illnesses (Conrad 1997). Also, hemp, or low-THC cannabis, has proven to be one of the most economically-versatile plants in the world (Hashim 2017).

Captain Quark - 09

3.Ø7 Spacetime: 97217.8.331 A river raged at the base of basalt cliffs. The torrent thundered through parched hinterlands before emptying into a cold northern sea. Salmon thrashed upstream heeding the age-old call of the wild. Suddenly, a circle of fire erupted out of thin air. The firework expanded until it grew large enough to disgorge five interdimensional travelers. The travelers screamed, “Aaaaggghhhh!!!!” as they fell through the portal and plunged into the river. Fortunately, four of the five were properly attired for bathing. Their unitards sliced through the torrent as sleekly as the salmon that slippered upstream. Unfortunately, the fifth traveler was outfitted in the type of clunky attire that is the bane of unwary bathers. It distressed Sian to see Muddle sink like a stone, but when she saw Gellie and Ubie dive after him her worries abated. Sian hooked an arm around Rudyard and towed him to shore.
