Three days of rioting incited by coca farmers angry over the aerial spraying of their fields with herbicides are casting fresh attention on a dispute between Colombia and Washington over a key part of the U.S. counter-narcotics strategy in Colombia.The rioters want to suspend a 3-week-old spraying campaign in this part of northeastern Colombia, a move that U.S. officials would consider a setback in the nationwide campaign to eradicate the coca plants.

Actually, I've smoked many a j before, Pontifix. :) This, was at best, my stoned banter if I led you to believe otherwise. FOM:I will do my best to upload them. I may just email them to you because in the cyber cafes over there they charge by the hour, so it'll be easier that way. Besides, I have a "anonymous" email account, (so big brother can suck my.. um... big, fat, juicy, rock-hard, ....ripe cola) ;) Indeed, I am looking forward to all this "nonsense" (as the Dutch have it quite straight, or in this case, crooked) A friend who was supposed to come with me was in a terrible car accident- it took a piece of his leg. After several hours of intense hospital frustration (and a titanium rod!) they were able to put his leg back together. However, being that it was TWO DAYS before my last trip to the Netherlands (he was supposed to be there WITH ME last time in January,) he was unable to attend. However, I talked him into it. After several months of recovery, he'll be comming along this time. It's actually pretty screwed up because for me it will be like yesterday. But my friend has never seen the wonders..... Well, I will set up a "virtual tour" of Amsterdam. We'll call it "greenfox's spaced out trip" ;) and there will be a plethora of pictures to be... HAD. a few "for sures" (you WILL see pictures of these places): · The Grey Area, home of the "Grey Mist" kif- pure THC! · Dutch Flowers, strategically located across the street from a bakery · De Kaul's, home of the all-too-powerful NL5 x Haze joints- prerolled for your pleasure! · BlueBird, lots of hash... GOOD hash! · Sensi Seedbank, must 'stock up' on stock! gf < · Sagamartha, beautiful little plants in the window... ......... and that's just a few.... I think you guys will like the pictures and if NOTHING ELSE I PROMISE to post on this channel while I am there. After all, I need to keep up on how Uncle Sam is doing raping my beautiful country. ;) ((I am going to post this in a newer message so that you are sure to see it, FoM. Please don't mind the duplicate!)) :) Peace & love all. (and, of course, my crafty tagline...) sly in green, foxy in kind [ Post Comment ] |

| Please send the pictures to me and go ahead and upload them if you want. I can figure out a way to get them on line. I could use the Political Board at cannabis.com and then post them here for others to see as a start! Have a wonderful time! [ Post Comment ] |

| Greenfox, congratulations on your trip to Holland! What a taste of heaven, to be free to light up, free to buy the best sinse in the world at the lowest prices, and free from the cold pricklies that come from living in an unfree country. We will all be with you in spirit. I would love to see any and all pictures of your trip. I And have you really never smoked a joint before...??? [ Post Comment ] |

| I have a GREAT idea and hopefully we can do it? I can UPLOAD pictures at a cafe called "Yazoo" (it's a play off of Yahoo, obviously). But anyway, I have a digital camera and I will be taking pictures. I can UPLOAD them to you, or even email them, and i think it would be really cool to have a temporary section will my travel pictures from Amsterdam! What do you think? -gf [ Post Comment ] |

| What is crazy is some Amerikan military type complaining as Colombia seeks its own political solutions. I am choleric over this wanton attack on the sovereignty of another nation as its own people protest ecological warfare and genocide. [ Post Comment ] |

| well but under the warm and fuzzy promise of a drug free America , Colombians are forced to hold their breath, cover their eyes and let Colombia be raped and wasted for the sole perceived benefit of the US. Sick fauna, sick people, dead land and poisoned Amazon. HOW COME THERE'S NO MENTION OF WHY THE COLOMBIANS WANT TO STOP SPRAYING? SURELY MORAL WEAKNESS ISN'T THE ONLY EXPLANATION!! [ Post Comment ] |

| ``This is crazy. So, if every coca farmer in Colombia makes a warm-and-fuzzy promise to destroy his own crops, Pastrana won't spray at all?'' said a U.S. military officer who monitors the fumigation efforts in this country. THIS is CRAZY! Every time I see one of our "military orrrrrrificers" ranting on about how WE should be MORALLY policing the world, it really does make me sick. This fat-cat, SOB excuse for a human is PROFITING off this very "counter drug" experience. What really blows my mind is how WE can ... god DAMN it, now I have to start. This will probably be my longest post ever.... AMERIKKKA, LAND OF THE FREE**free excludes nights, weekends, and peak time. Special charges MAY apply. Offer restricted to the Netherlands, were people are actually sane. Americans need not apply. Special finance rate of 19.99% will apply to all persons under the suspicion that they are "free". Amerikka... where: 1a) Marijuana is illegal. 2a) People have "freedom of speech" 3a) People are free from "unreasonable" search 4a) People cannot loose their arcticles, land, etc, without due process of law 5a) Everyone has the right to vote... 6a) We are the moral leaders of the world. Don't do drugs, practice safe sex, and don't kill people... 7a) Gore won 8a) The USA is peaceful. Practice peace! 9a) BE environmentally friendly! but... 10a) Don't do drugs! Drug test employees! so, in short, I'm sick of it. VERY sick of it. I'm putting myself in debt, AGAIN, to leave this poor excuse for a country. On Monday, I will be getting on a plane to Amsterdam (second time this year, and many of you will remember,) and I will enjoy my stay THOROUGHLY! Furthermore- I will leave monday, (this monday,) and I won't be back until July 1st (UNLESS i post on this board from a cyber cafe-coffieshop in amsterdam, which is also possible.) To Kaptinemo, Pontifix, Dan B, FoM, Observer, and everyone else here who fights the good fight:I will be sparking a fat joint in your honor and in the honor of this board. It will be my first joint. I will think of all of you and pray for all your freedom, (as i enjoy mine in a country tthat actually SUPPORTS personal responsibility) In any case, I will talk to you all soon. At very latest, July 1st. Looking forward to seeing you all when I get back, so keep this place interesting! (FOM I'm COUNTING ON YOU!) :) sky in green, FOXY in kind.
