cultural sentiments.
It follows that marijuana use will be viewed as a medical matter. And that it is a matter
for physicians' attention. It might be presumed that physicians' word is sought on
marijuana use because it is a medical matter. The sociologist looks at the issue differently.
That marijuana use is a medical matter is an imputation, not a fact. It is because society
has already adopted the pathology or "disease" model on marijuana use that it seems
reasonable to infer that marijuana use, therefore, is a medical matter. But the prior
imputation was necessary to see it that way in the first place.
The central point of this book, explained in detail in the chapter on "the politics of
reality," is that we all view reality selectively. We notice that which verifies our own point
of view, and ignore that which does not. We accept a "world taken for granted," and an
exposure to contrary worlds does little to shake our faith in our own. Moreover, when our
version of what is real and true is threatened, we marshall pseudoevidence to support this
version. Facts used in arguments are rhetorical rather than experimental. Societies whose
values do or would oppose a given activity face a tactical problem: how to make a
condemnation of that activity seem reasonable and rational? A rationale must be provided,
and a personnel whose word is respected must provide that rationale. Thus, by generating
statements from physicians, society is utilizing a valuable ideological resource. The
antimarijuana lobby will therefore court and win the sympathies of doctors whose word on
cannabis is largely negative. Society is searching for verification of an already held
ideological position, not for some abstract notion which idealistic philosophers once
called "truth." (We all assume that we have truth on our side.) So that the pathology
position will be crystallized out of the magma of society's needs and expectations, out of
the social and cultural position of physicians, their self-conception ?partly growing out
of society's conception of them?as preservers of society's psychic and bodily
equilibrium, and as experts on anything having to do with what is defined as a health

matter. It is these pressures that generate the concern of physicians regarding marijuana,
and not any particular expertise they might have.[4]
In lieu of actually doing a survey, it is necessary to examine the writings of physicians
on marijuana. However, to use these written statements to characterize the dominant
medical view on cannabis use it would be necessary to resolve at least one difficulty first.
There is the question of the typicality of published and widely disseminated statements, as
opposed to the actual sentiments and actions of the vast bulk of doctors who do not write
on marijuana. Thos</description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:00:00 AM GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>atitudes, low rainfall (were I come from, this one</title><link>http://cannabica.net/How_to_Germinate_THC_Seeds.asp</link><description>atitudes, low rainfall (were I come from, this one melted to

having both of them for over a year. The Sweetooth is a large yielder (50 grams a sq./ft). Sweetooth makes
large contiguous colas even on short plants. The visual of the cured bud is great. The Shishke is a heavy
yielder; I haven't quite decided if the Sweetooth can out yield the Shishke in perfect temperature conditions.
Shishke and Sweetooth are both blue berry hybrids and I notice a lot of similarities in the veg growth of the two
plants, but the Sweetooth has a sweet scent (no ozone required), and can take more stress (it gets hot where I
live). Shishke smells kinda musky, doesn't like heat. If heat stressed it will herm, clones from the same mom
in a different garden have no herms ... otherwise, very easy plant to grow and the high is strong &amp; up. The
high from the Sweetooth is just like the SOL ad "keeps us giddy &amp; high all day". Both plants have fairly "up"
buzz, the Shishke has a hashy taste, and the Sweetooth is sweet &amp; berry.? - Shiva</description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:00:00 AM GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Colombian Widow is a cross of Greenhouse's WW and </title><link>http://cannabica.net/mostpowerfulmarijuanaintheworld.php</link><description>Colombian Widow is a cross of Greenhouse's WW and a skunky two hit Colombian. The Colombian female
was chosen for its robust growth, relatively short flowering time for a tropical, dense buds and stickiness. It is a
two hit lady with a piney aftertaste. She is crossed with a WW male with good branching. The result is a well
branched, sticky Colombian with an intense mind bending high. The plants branch and bud extensively and are
ideal for scrog. In fact have several under the screen now and I would say it is great for weaving its numerous
long branches through the screen. Expect buds to really begin putting on the bulk at about week 6. 8-10 for
finishing. It can get big so I flower at 12-15" no more. If you are not scrogging then train the plants and you
should easily get multiple colas." - Santa Marta</description><pubDate>Wed, 10 Feb 2010 12:00:00 PM GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>se of new discoveries in medical science.

thought to be "medically" harmful. Nineteenth-century physicians, from Krafft-Ebing[2]
to the local general practitioner, attempted to dissuade adolescents from practicing
masturbation for medical reasons; a moral evaluation was framed in health terms. What
was disapproved of inevitably had to be thought of as physically harmful as well. The

sinner had to bear the bodily signs?stigmata?of his transgressions. William Acton, the
famous Victorian physician, describes the ravages of masturbation:
The frame is stunted and weak, the muscles undeveloped, the eye is sunken
and heavy, the complexion is sallow, pasty, or covered with spots of acne,
the hands are damp and cold, and the skin moist. The boy shuns the society
of others, creeps about alone, joins with repugnance in the amusements of
his schoolfellows. He cannot look any one in the face, and becomes careless
in dress and uncleanly in person. His intellect has become sluggish and
enfeebled, and if his evil habits are persisted in, he may end in becoming a
drivelling idiot.... Such boys are to be seen in all stages of degeneration, but
what we have described is but the result towards which they all are tending.
[3]
The parallels between society's condemnation of masturbation in the Victorian period,
and its condemnation of marijuana use today, extend beyond the claim that both activities
ruin the health of the participant. More specifically, insanity was often viewed as a likely
outcome of both. Both were seen as an indulgence, a form of moral flabbiness, selfish and
unrestrained pleasure-seeking. And both have earned the label "abuse;" in fact, even today
"to abuse oneself" specifically means to masturbate, a relic of an earlier moral stance. In
both cases, society's moral attitude toward the activity has elicited from the medical
profession a condemnatory justification cast in the form of medical objectivity. Social
control and the preservation of the status quo become functions of physicians. When
society no longer holds a morally castigating point of view toward marijuana use, the
physician's services will be withdrawn and called for in a new area.
Popular sociology, as practiced by physicians as well as journalists, policemen as well
as educators, has traditionally conceived of human activity in zero-sum terms. That is, it
was thought that participation in one kind of human endeavor naturally and inevitably
canceled out another; the more time, emotion, and effort invested in one activity, the less
left over for another. Recent research in many areas of human life has more often given
support to precisely the opposite perspective: generally, the hypothesis of "the more, the
more" holds up. As John Gagnon put it, the imagery describing human activities has
shifted from Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes. Wisely withhold</description><pubDate>Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:00:00 AM GMT</pubDate></item><item><title> this short time."

"At first the Top44 was popular under cash growers in Holland, later on the home growers did find the great
ability of the strain too, it's able to switch between vegetative and flowering grow very fast, vegetative grow will
mostly stop after one week you put at in flowering. It will go inside and also outside and it's an easy compact
growing plant, it is easy to get in one off the many cannabis growshops, this may change because the Dutch
law is getting harder for the bigger clone producers. Because it is an compact growing plant, it's very good in a
SOG setup, it gives one long cola if you grow 4 plants the sq./feet like in the closed from the picture beside,
there are growing 49 plants on soil, used are 4 liter containers and a 600 watt (Natrium) lamp, total space
used in this case is 9 sq./feet, in this setup we normally grow only one week vegetative, this way we are able
to get up to 6 crops a year. At the growshow (sample setup in a growshop) from Nederlicht Growshop we could
see that the top44 is doing very well if it gets more space and time. On the picture beside you can see one
big plant that they did grow three months vegetative (18/6), they used a 600 watt (natrium) lamp and the
plant was in a 50 liter container, if you plan to grow bigger plants rule one is, use big containers. This plant
did give 350 grams off the finest buds. The high is really great, strong and euphoric alike and the indica part
off this plant gives a relaxed feeling overall, smoke it and let flo your mind. It has it's own taste and is very
sweet, the buds are very smelly and sticky, it has red hairs after 6 weeks. Some growers like to keep them in
flowering a bit longer to get an ultimate effect, the top44 adds a lot off resin in those last days, it is easy to
manicure because of the good leaf/bud ratio.? ? Jock"
"""There are a few around here (Flick?) that have the real Top44 from Holland that they got as a cutting from
Jock. The seeds available from him are not the same as the cuttings he has. The seeds are from Paradise, a
company without much reputation yet.. But they're getting around the net since WeedSeed picked them up.
But its not a very popular strain except in Holland / the rest of Europe as a commercial plant."" -shabang"
"""50+ grams/s.f. Spacing at only 2 per square foot in 48 days isn?t too bad. I suspect that plant will do much
better when I play with it just a little more. I'll agree that the 44 days is pushing it and the plant is better
buzzing 4 or 5 days later but you can harvest at 44 and be satisfied with the buzz without much sacrifice in
yield. It's a great buzzing social indica that grows fast and heavy."" ?flick"
"""I've grown it from seed and from cuttings that were supposed to have been from the breeder himself...It
didn?t mature in 44 days (under lots of light) and it didn?t yield enough. I have grown out at least 35 strains
in the past 2 years and it was the most disappointing."" - Muir!</description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:00:00 AM GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>

?These buds are very compressed with many seed husks. They are a deep army green colored that seem
brown from a distance and are sparsely covered with brown hairs. The scent is a little brown (dirty), a little
chemical and a very little green. Since the Hawaiian comes from a long distance, its appearance could be
greatly altered from its travels. It seems to have had many crystals, and its compactness is certainly a result of
its shipping. When smoked this bud tastes very full, almost meaty (BBQ) with both green and brown flavors.
The smoke is not particularly expansive but is very harsh because the buds have been overly dried in transit.
The high comes on very quickly and is very stony and will leave you dazed. If it were nicer aesthetically it may
have received an even higher mark. ****1/4? ? Homepage Amsterdam</description><pubDate>Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:00:00 AM GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
