this is a shop in Amsterdam selling hemp products and Elliot Smith is singing

it's strange how most of the natural and very useful 'drugs' are illegal, yet you can buy all the harmful and dangerous 'drugs' on any high street, hmmmmm, why is that i wonder??

btw the foto at the end is a good friend of mine stood in front of one of his 8 foot tall babies :)

So true ...I have been seeking natural cures and old time folk remedies for years and have actually found some wonderful things that work brilliantly( better than Pharmas) and when I find these I usually try to help out friends or family...most folks are receptive and some are cured of life long ailmnts but a few refuse to even consider what I have to offer..they have no problem believing in large money sucking pharma companies but a friend or in some cases family mem who loves them...no go...
