It is the MOST coveted "spice" in America. Or was, rather. Many knew but didn't or weren't allowed to tell. ... They didn't know the wonders this 'spice' will do for you. It will help your mental stresses, help high-blood pressure, Parkinsons, and arthritis. Many medical practices have not been allowed to know this because it will hurt the pharmacies and man-made products. Please don't get me wrong. I have grown up with Western Medicine being extremely prominent in my family. We've got doctors and nurses everywhere. I just think "pot" is the answer to helping many ailments we have today instead of paying large amounts of money for man-made copy-cats.

Herbert's "Dune" is an very enjoyable read and one of my favorite novels . David Lynch's film adaption was groundbreaking and very good as well, though it did have issues and is inferior to the book.
I always thought that the spice "melange" was actually a metaphor for cocaine

Hey Jon! Dune, in 1978, was an ocean cruise liner in the Bahamas vacation novel an I enjoyed it very, very much! Prince Leto, House Of Atreides, Arrakas the death planet, gom jabbar, Paul...sandworms...I have got very peripatetic with alcohol though but now I am getting better from it, I do plan to start right now and finish that originally burger and beer joyride in the sun continuance but this time without the beer but maybe weed. Drugs are arbitrary and I can live without them. I think:) All the series!

I thorough heartedly agree with everything you say Merlin! I love weed! I'm 58 and my first solo joint was 11 and a couple of years later, family members started taking over my fathers sunporch with a pretty big plantation! And, I have a big full green shiny weed tattoo stamped on my right arm. Also, I have societally deemed anxiety and work with people who have no less of drive to obtain it. It really helps me. Good greenery! BTW, Sativa is the stuff it should have most of and not so much Indica. The sleepy stuff:) Chow!

Yo CW, I also am 58 and partook for the first time as a high school sophomore in 1976. It was during lunchtime across the street from the very famous and prestigious school I attended in Manhattan, and I've never forgotten how I felt in Biology class the next period!

Cool! In touch with the birds and the bees or ..the natural rhythm and flow of life. Weed is all organic but alcohol is manmade! Do you remember perhaps seeing Shaft or Flesh Gordon or Race With The Devil or Taxi Driver or Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy and Star Wars and Westworld and Serpico and Rocky or Midnight In Manhattan or the Godfather or Marooned or The Last Six Days Of Hitler or Bullitt or Deliverance or Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Shampoo or Grease.. The Gypsy Moths or the French Connection or Around The World in 80 Days or JOE..Go Ask Alice or The Day Of The Triffids or Last Tango In Paris? Willie Wonka And The Chocolate Factory, Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid or Willard? All 70's:) .My Side of The Mountain! I don't remember known more but I will. Hula Hoops!

I was in "Taxi Driver" as a 15-year-old! One of the scenes was filmed near my house, and I stopped to watch. I was standing in the background for a good minute as DeNiro chatted with a Secret Service agent.
