IcerocketRecently there was on article in Boing Boing http://www.boingboing.net/2009/10/07/carl-sagan-spaced-ou.html about how Carl Sagan smoked pot. He contributed an article to a 1969 book called "Marijuana Reconsidered" under the name, "Mr. X" but has since been confirmed as the author.
I recommend reading his essay about the benefits of being high. As a proponent of legalizing pot, I believe that in addition to not being dangerous, pot also has many benefits for humans that should be studied in further detail. Carl Sagan attests to the deep canyons of artistic and spiritual terrains that marijuana enabled him to transverse, where he discovered new thoughts and emotions which--assuming he remembered to write them down--the finely tuned motor of his sober mind valued as useful insights.

'Listen closely, you sonofabitch of the morning! This stuff is real!'
One idea led to another, and at the end of about an hour of extremely hard work I found I had written eleven short essays on a wide range of social, political, philosophical, and human biological topics.
Brilliant, hilarious, beautiful. Thanks a ton.

I just wanted to say that I randomly came across this inspired creation after watching a video on the healing properties of hemp oil by Rick Simpson. I am not at all surprised to find a post like this that fits so perfectly into the wavelengths I am currently producing and experiencing, I love this community!

"A still more glorious dawn awaits/ Not a sunrise, but a galxy rise/ A morning filled with 400 billion suns/ The rising of the Milky Way"
Imagine that :-))
