I am alerting you there that your paper might soon be flooded with letters by badly-aging Vancouver stoners who have taken great offence to your writers not sucking up to their 4:20 credo. They did it to all the major dailies, but have since been blocked for insincere-letters-to-the-editor flooding. So now they are moving on to college papers and small-town publications, hoping somebody will listen to their mumbles. Mumbles about how cannabis intoxication liberates the higher parts of the human mind, how the entire King James Bible edited down to one line is "marijuana is the tree of life", and, of late, how marijuana cures cancer, but the government is hushing it up. If UFOs didn't have such strict non-smoking bylaws in the mothership, you could just imagine the stoner brigades waiting for a tractor beam connection to spread slum goddess Bongtopia wipeheadheadism on nearby planets. These ward of the state stoners with too much time on their hands meet on dope fan club internet forums and plot their next assault on the straight media. Our offices estimate almost 90 per cent of any letter to the editor published in Canada over the last five years praising Marc Emery and the wonders of pot were penned by this typing pool of west coast stoners, I mean "unique individuals" living the alternative lifestyle out yonder. So, you might get a fast, nasty batch of angry letters insisting pot could save the world if it wasn't for Bush and Harper. Or about how Marc Emery, Prince of Pot, doesn't deserve jail for selling $15,000,000 worth of pot seeds through the mail to American pot growers. Or even letters claiming that medical marijuana helps soothe angry, vague public dole through stupors in a truly awesome supernatural way. My friends, don't be surprised. Flooding the media with letter campaigns to prop up stonerism ideals is the 21st century version of telephone crank calls. Only it's more like drunk phoning random numbers at 4:00 am. They somehow managed to dial you. XXkevinheaven - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
