I havent been one to stand up and scream about too much these days, but something that strikes a nerve with me is going on right now. Ashcroft, whom we can refer to as one of the most dangerous men in the world, has re-ignited the hysteria surrounding the use of marijuana. This past week, manufacturers of glass pipes were subjected to an early morning raid (set in tandem to prove a point) wherein men and women were handcuffed in their pajamas, bank accounts were frozen, and merchandise was immediately seized. Tommy Chong, you remember him, was one of the many folks who had to endure these humiliations.


I want to know what happened to Prop 215.

I want to know how I can re-count the vote. We said hey we want to smoke pot, and the guvment said, nope. We dont give a shit what you want.

Why is this? Mebbe its because the american guvment cant control the distribution, growth, sales, and potential benefits of reefer. Thats all I have to say about this, on account of I havent had a cup of coffee, yet....

Remember, in Vancouver the grass laws are totally different. (Vancouver in 2004!)

Oh, one more thing. Here is something fucked up, and something you may be able to do about it:



Chhom Nimol, lead singer of a popular local Los Angeles Cambodian rock band Dengue Fever has been arrested. She was apprehended during the "code orange terrorist sweep Friday February 7th returning home from a concert in San Diego. Chhom Nimol is being held in an I.N.S. detention center in San Diego. Our efforts now are to keep her in this country with her family and friends...lawyer fees are expensive and her bail was set today at $20,000.

We have planned two events, a fundraiser/party on Thursday, February 27th at the Short Stop bar, 1455 Sunset Blvd. 9pm- 2am. free admission, donation. And a benefit concert featuring the Radar Brothers, Whisky Biscuit, Brazzaville, and special guests on Sunday, March 2nd at the Derby nightclub, 4500 Los Feliz Blvd. 8pm-2am. $10, plus donation. for more information please email us at denguefever23@hotmail.com.


Finally, lets all watch out for each other. Spread love, spread peace, speak your mind, dont let fear set in and turn you into a mindless robot. People everywhere are here to help each other.
