#1 Does marijuana grow wild in Afghanistan? I understand it does so in parts of India.

#2 It pretty much grows every where. That is why it's called weed.

#6 Afghanistan has many parallels with columbian narcoterrorism.

#7 Back in my undergrad days (early '80's) there was a lot of Afghan weed on campus. It was supposedly a big cash crop for the Muj. Not one to partake myself (it makes me depressed) I still couldn't avoid the smell which was like skunk, worse than other types of pot.

My roommate fired some up and I asked him what he thought he was doing. He said brightly, "Killin' Commies!"

#8 Things were so simple then, when far away places were either dismissed as backward outposts, never to intrude without invitation - such as scoring a baggie, or romantic and exotic bazaars where strange and forbidden pleases lurked. Lol.

#10 OT: (morale booster)

I have an announcement to make. We'll call it a major shout out to the boys here at Rantburg.

(.com I trust you have not retired for the night.)

Just got an email from the "customer service" guys at rangerup.com.

For those who might be interested (lopt, TW, Seafarious, Barb, and Swamp Blondie et al, you can skip this post): I'm advised that the name of the distracting nubile burnette featured in the rangerup.com t-shirt is "Grace". (Yes, God does have a sense of humor).

For those of you who have clicked onto the rangerup.com website, you're aware that Grace has a blonde friend. Unfortunately her name has not been disclosed by my source at customer service.

I'm told that Grace and her blonde friend, being the wholesome, all American ladies we've come to know, were recruited from a tavern (imagine that!) a mere 9 (nine) hours prior to the photo shoot we've all come to know and love.

Furthermore, but just as importantly, the guys at ranger.com have persuaded the nubile Grace to do (I'm quoting here) a "Maxim-like" photospread for rangerup.com AND I'm told that we here at RB will be given a heads up prior to it's publication pertinent details.

Gentlemen, have a good evening one and all.

#13 I just re-read the story of the "senior mufti/cleric" in Oz, presumed to be the holiest of the holy Oz imams. How could I not think of our immodest Grace whom the good muslim cleric would refer to as "uncovered meat"

Gentlemen, our lady Grace is why we fight.
