Today, on winter solstice, there is a world-wide initiative to have a synchronized orgasm for the benefit of mankind. While it may seem a little silly, there have been studies to show that mass meditation can lower violent crime in the surrounding area, so why not also ecstatic experience? The following is from the Global Orgasm website:

WHO? All Men and Women, you and everyone
you know.

WHERE? Everywhere in the world, but especially in countries with weapons of mass destruction.

WHEN?
Winter Solstice Day - Friday, December 22nd,
at the time of your choosing, in the place of your choosing and with as much privacy as you choose.

WHY? To effect positive change in the energy field of the Earth through input of the largest possible surge of human energy a Synchronized Global Orgasm. There are two more US fleets heading for the Persian Gulf with anti-submarine equipment that can only be for use against Iran, so the time to change Earth’s energy is NOW!

According to a new study circulated in major newspapers, marijuana is America’s leading cash crop, with estimated production of $35.8 billion, surpassing corn ($23 bil), soy ($17.6 bil) and hay ($12.2 bil). The report was written by Jon Gettman, PhD, former director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and cites figures from the 2005 State Department report, which estimates the country’s weed production at 10,000 metric tons (22 mil+ pounds), ten times that in 1981. California has the state lead in growing over a third of the nation’s harvest (38%) and has 3.3 million users (13% of the nation’s smokers). Most of this ganja, about 56 million plants, are grown outside, but a significant 11.7 million are grown indoors. As of now, all of the crop’s $35 billion goes to ‘criminals’. If marijuana laws were reformed and weed was taxed by the government, a ’sin tax’ like that on cigarettes, the benefit for society might far outweigh any imagined detriment.
