Sensible BC at the Legislature - Feb 11/2014
Sensible BC Team was raising awareness for sensible marijuana laws at the opening of the BC Legislature.
Human Rights Tribunal Meeting tomorrow. Does the University have the right to pull a disabled student from class because of their medication, even if they aren't using the prescribed medication? If so, what medications should be included on this list? Should we screen for drug and alcohol addicts? Should we screen for people whose attention may be altered because of medication, existing condition, tired, hungover...?
_________________ __________________________ ________________
The University of Victoria, aware that my disability related legal medication is marijuana, pulled me out of class and I had to speak to the head of the department.
The University wanted documentation regarding my medication, over concerns for public safety.
I told them I would provide the documentation, if they could prove to me that this is standard procedure for all legal medications that students take, if not, this is discrimination and it will be handled as such.
No word back yet, but they asked me to stay away from other students to ensure that I am not placing them at risk; and they banned me from class, for what turned out to be a month.
...and so, I'm off to the Human Rights Tribunal, WITHOUT THE SUPPORT of the Victoria's International Hempology 101 Society, a group that advocates for the rights of of marijuana smokers through Cannabis Activism. Hempology 101's Ted Smith had originally offered support, but after speaking with the University, the support was no longer availible.

Rocky Mountain Rebel Music throws down the new funky reggae sound!
The band, from Victoria BC, started in the summer of 2008 and has evolved to include 10 musicians from across Canada. This diverse collective talent accounts for the band's high energy and full sound as well as its broad range of musical influences. Charged by Reggae, Rock, Funk, Dub, Dancehall, Punk, and World Rhythms, Rocky Mountain Rebel Music delivers an original sound that defies comparison. Shredding guitars, bubblin' keys, smooth horns, hand percussion, drums, and heavy bass form the rough and rugged foundation upon which vocals rise and fall like the tide on Vancouver Island's rocky coast.
This infinitely danceable sound has captured the attention of Western Canada's live music scene with a pair of successful tours and numerous sellout shows to date. In 2009, RMRM released their eponymous debut album which was supported by a nationwide headlining tour spanning 13 dates in 6 provinces. The entire first pressing of 'Rocky Mountain Rebel Music' was sold out by the time the band wrapped this first tour, in Quebec City.
Known for mixing up their sound with numerous instruments such as Violin, Didgeridoo, Space Drum and often working with other local artists and musicians, RMRM never plays the same set twice! The band has also worked in collaboration with Victoria hip-hop group The Pocket Kings on the track “Light It Up” as well as playing a series of successful shows as an 11-piece hip-hop mashup. These rebels are notorious for their high energy, open air guerilla concerts, parties, and overall support and involvement in the Victoria music scene.

It doesn't look like the new Chief of Police knows how to budget, either.
Under former Chief Jamie Graham's command;
Victoria, BC was ranked the second most dangerous city in Canada
The VicPD was the most costly police department in British Columbia
The VicPD was the best staffed police department in Canada
The VicPD's crime-solving rate was one of the worst in all of Canada
The VicPD's officer response times consistently worsened
Chief Jamie Graham had been found guilty of discreditable conduct, again
...will things improve with our new, and apparently budget-hungry free-spending, Chief Constable Frank J. Elsner?

Alberta Government anti-marijuana propaganda poster. (by Yardley Jones)
Here are some of the Marijuana "facts" from the poster:
"Pot messes up your head. It can make you believe things are going on that aren't really happening."
"Cannabis is the most often used illicit drug in Canada. Both physical and psychological dependence can happen with regular use. Withdrawal symptoms can include grouchiness, sweating, shaking, upset stomach, and diarrhea."
"Marijuana users often experience short-term memory loss. I said, marijuana users often experience short-term memory loss."
"Some people will eat almost anything when they get the munchies."

Not only was she beautiful, she was sweet. When I apologized for my drifting marijuana smoke, she smiled and said, "I don't mind" - unlike many who act offended, or scowl at me, as though all the cars, buses, and trucks that drive by spew healthy fresh air that they prefer over my reefer exhaust.
Her response made me think she was 420 friendly, but I dared not offer her a toke, for fear of the perception of an old creep with a camera offering drugs to a sweet young lady in the streets of Victoria.
My daughter gave me my Fathers' Day present a little early. She spoils me. She bought me a Sector 9 Longboard.

The Sensible BC campaign for a marijuana referendum;
We are calling upon the BC government to pass the Sensible Policing Act, which will stop police from searching or arresting otherwise law-abiding citizens for possession of marijuana.
The Sensible Policing Act also demands the federal government repeal marijuana prohibition, and mandates the BC government to figure out the rules needed for a legal marijuana system in BC.

For my Father's Day, among other cool gifts and spoiling me, my daughter gave me this groovy new buckle for my Harley Davidson belt. Those are our two cruiser bikes, and that's my daughter, texting, of course.
You can always count on the A-Team when you're in trouble - but the stinky weed got the community in a panic when I transported it home.

Don't smoke dope around Sutton Man Glen!
He says I'll never rent in this town again.
He says he'll call the police.
He says I am a drain upon society.
He says I should get a job.
He says he's gonna kick my fucking head in.
Fear and Loathing on the brain.
"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading." (Henny Youngman)
I smoke two joints in the morning, I smoke two joints at night.
I smoke two joints in the afternoon, it makes me feel alright.
I smoke two joints in time of peace, and two in time of war,
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints,
And then I smoke two more.

I was transporting a large amount of my medicinal marijuana home when I needed to stop for some snacks. The weed gave off such a strong aroma that the staff chased me out of the store and fought the electric doors in a futile attempt to air the marijuana smell from the DRUGstore. With their mad rush to free themselves from the ganja aroma - you'd think they feared the smell would bring on madness and illness.
They were disgusted with me.

Little Green Bag
- Miniature Australian Shepherd -
Throughout the history of the Aussie, small (under 18") dogs can be seen in historical photographs - in fact, many breed experts believe that the original Aussie was selectively bred larger as sheep ranching decreased and cattle ranching increased. Cattle ranchers preferred a larger dog to work the larger stock. Some Aussie owners have continued to prefer a smaller sized Aussie, while others prefer the larger.
In 1968 Doris Cordova, a horse woman in Norco, California, began a breeding program specifically to produce very small Australian Shepherds, most famously Cordova's Spike. Spike was placed with Bill and Sally Kennedy, also of Norco, California, to continue to develop a line of miniature Aussies under the B/S kennel name. Another horseman, Chas Lasater of Valhalla Kennels, soon joined the ranks of mini breeders. In the 1980s fanciers formed member clubs (North American Miniature Australian Shepherd Club of the USA and the Miniature Australian Shepherd Association) and registries to promote the smaller dogs in particular.

I try to attend PRIDE events in support of a friend I owe a lot to.
Way back when, a buddy named Sam Evans befriended me, in spite of my red neck and ignorance. We lost him to AIDS back in 1988 - but I will never forget his friendship and the life lessons he taught me.
