We have been tearing our hair out during the past week as we gear up for the soon-to-be called Canadian Election. We are behind in our research for several of our FAD sites and we have not yet identified all of the pro-pot MPs we will be targeting for defeat. We are going after all of the NDP MPs as well as targeting all those ridings where the NDP came a close second in the last election. As

We had been hoping that the Gomery Inquiry, documenting criminal acts by those in the highest reaches of the Liberal Party, (perhaps even up to the Prime Minister's office, past and present), would kill the bill to legalize marijuana because the opposition would vote against the government and spark a new election. Then, we could campaign against those NDP and Liberals who were pushing for legal

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that marijuana helps those battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Of course, the main benefit may be that one gets so stoned on grass that you forget all about the disease, at least for a while. We can see that grass could stimulate the appetite for those suffering from the effects of chemotherapy. The onset of the "munchies" is a known side

We usually delete about one comment a day from our site. Most of them are sad, pathetic and quite naive.

Remember Reefer Madness? It was a film made in the early part of the 2oth Century that freaks used to watch while doing dope. We thought it was a load of crap. But, it did scare more than a few people off drugs. And, in looking back at it, there was a lot of truth in the film. The above picture is cute, the next one isn't. They are of the same person.

Our Christian freaks over at FIG (Freaks into God) seem to be downplaying our work. In a recent posting, The Other Freaks Disappoint Us, they take some swipes, though not maliciously, at our efforts to expose the political support for legalizing pot in Canada. They have some good points in their support for politicians of all stripes, at least good for them. In spite of this, we support them in

It appears that an email from Randy White's office clearly shows that while the Conservatives don't support Bill C-17 "in its present state," they will, with some tinkering, support the bill that is obviously a first step towards legal pot.

As we pointed out in our posting, (Right Wing Nuts or Left Wing Looney Tunes) we do not consider ourselves to be pushing any political agenda.

The short answer. Both. Let's look at Peter Piper. He first joined the NDP in 1979, the year he became disillusioned with Marxism. As a long time Marxist, and seeing the movement going nowhere, he believed that the best way to bring about social change was to infiltrate the social democratic movement. He became a political organizer for the NDP in Ontario, but this ended before Bob Rae came to

On today's CBC* Radio program Sunday Edition, several young people were interviewed concerning their drug usage. By and large, a bunch of quite intelligent young people; they seem to make them smarter all the time. They seem a lot smarter than we freaks were at that age, about 35-40 years ago. Intelligent they were, but also quite naive. Not stupid, naive. Naive as in "lacking worldly experience.

You're heard that foolishness plenty of times. "Pot smoke isn't as bad for you as cigarette smoke." Or: "Pot smoke isn't any worse than tobacco smoke." Those who are making such assertions should be reading the March 2005 edition of the journal Addiction. It shows, after tracking 1,200 men and women for 25 years, that folks who were regular cannabis users are almost twice as likely to develop a

Somebody has got their knickers in a knot. Received the word from some inside sources that there were a few unhappy campers over how we were wording some of our posts. They thought it was "cruel, nasty, libelous and not very nice." After a tie vote among the freaks down here at Peg's Lunch, which was broken by Dog, we toned down some of our language and actually changed two of the previous posts.

Canada's "Conservative Voice" (well, it used to be when Connie ran it), the National Post, has come out quite strong in their stand for legalizing pot, crack, heroin; whatever your vice is.
