 Thanks Bobbie for your hard work!

It is not especially hard and mostly boring to me.
The only reason I do it is because many years ago when I started
reading the alt.drugs newsgroup someone would occasionally post
stuff from NORML.  When I found the DWC I I decided that some
newsgroups would benefit and that I might build support for the
removal of cannabis from the ridiculous classification that put
it in the same category as Heroin.  Further I hoped eventually
this would help to to make the other drugs popularized in the
1960s especially Lysergic Acid-Di-Ethlylamide*, mescaline and
psylocibin legally available.  *The German name uses Saure or
sour aka acid in the same chemical name thus LSD.  If it had
been discovered in an America laboratory we might call it
LAD. These drugs are only tools and do not really expand the
mind but shut down some inputs.
So far we have cannabis legal in several states even
for recreational use.  I am a medical cannabis patient using
it for pain and sleep.  I had to stop smoking cannabis because
of pain in my throat even when not smoking but vaporizing, the
fumes were too hot for my throat so I use edible materials.
I am unable to work due to chronic illness or participate
any longer in marches or demonstrations.  I will be 87 in a
few weeks.  I hope someone will volunteer to keep up the
work of the DWC posting when I am no longer able to do so.
