Wendy WeedlerPublished 7 years ago in PotentWhat is Yage?
An Amazonian Indian paddles a heavy canoe downriver, deep in the hold of South America. The Tunchis, spirits of the dead, call out to him in the medium of bird whistles from the jungle banks. Chullachi, a monster of unequal legs and horrible face, stalks the rain forest in search of victims. Beneath the canoe, in the murky depths, is Yacuruna—the Emperor of the waters and of the Indian dead. He is the devil of Amazonia, an amphibious creature who reigns from an underwater crystal palace. Yacuruna is ensconced in a tortoise Shell throne. He rests in a den of gazelle feathers, protected by a netting of butterfly wings woven by lightning bugs. His servants are a fleet of dolphins which change into human form so they can lure people to the kingdom of the river bed. Yacuruna, himself, often adopts the guise of a Christian spreading sin among the Indians.

Johnny HashPublished 7 years ago in PotentHow to Travel With Weed
Traveling with weed is actually easier today then it was in the late 20th century. Technology has certainly played a part, but attitudes at security checks have eased as regards to weed. The combination of the legalization movement's successes in conjunction with a security force more concerned with weapons than weed, has made for a more accommodating environment for weekend travelers. There are a number great alternatives for traveling life stylists to stash their stash. They are at the mercy of state law when driving with weed and at the mercy of federal law when flying with weed. This is true even if the local jurisdiction you've arrived to or departed from allows cannabis consumption.

Johnny HashPublished 7 years ago in PotentThe Weed Ate My Homework
Let’s talk about stereotypes for a second. When you think of the stereotypical stoner, what comes to mind? Dreadlocked men and Rasta flags? Deadbeat hippies listening to The Grateful Dead in an old Volkswagen van? For many, it’s the burnout—the degenerate failure with no concern for his environment or responsibilities—a lost soul corrupted by the Devil’s Lettuce.

A first-rate book can also be a letdown when seeds of greatness sprout in the opening leaves only to wither before harvest. Mama Coca is the best on the subject since W. Golden Mortimer's turn-of-the-century Peru: History of Coca—and not just because it's the only full-length study since then. For the most part, the uninomial author anchors his meticulous scholarship with firsthand knowledge and suspicious common sense.

Frank WhitePublished 7 years ago in PotentCan You Smoke Lettuce?
Not everyone who probably would benefit from cannabis products is prepared to to do something illegal. Others have neither the time for meditation nor an appetite for abstinence. The logical solution, then, was to come up with something legal, harmless, potent and available, that would turn on the tastes of the most jaded cannabis connoisseur... Thousands of medicine men and would-be moguls have tried... and most have failed.
