Off topic, I have always wanted to see a decent pocketbike. All the ones I have seen around here suck serious ass and one of them was Italian. It was a Blata. It got stomped by our CRF88s. The thing cost double ours too. Can't imagine what the good ones cost.

I still have a few. Mine are all Pasta powered (Polini) - I think Blata is Czech made. IMO, they are much harder to ride fast that any dirtbike of any size. On your cross country trip, hit me up when you are near AZ. I'll drive a couple of them up there for you and whoever is with you to ride.

Dude, you need a modicum of intelligence, a number of ingredients, time, patience, and considerable equipment to make beer.
Cannabis is a fucking weed. You don't need shit (although come to think of it, a bit of fertilizer wouldn't hurt). If people would be allowed to grow it, many would, and big pharma would definitely take a hit (pun intended).

You give people WAY to much credit. Think Jiffy Lube and Wal Mart.

Yep, but let's face it...many guys still do change their own oil, or else they wouldn't sell filters at the Pep Boys.
Sure, it's not that many, but I think it's you who are under-estimating. What I think you're under-estimating is GREED.

...To everyone but those who need it as medicine, and to us, it's priceless.
Sorry to get all dramatic, but I'm a big fan of being able to walk, and other than Naproxin, it's pretty much all I got.

Nope, not at all like that actually. People who smoke tobacco frequently use an ounce a day. Even hardcore cannabis users are not likely to use more than an ounce in two weeks, as long as the cannabis is high quality.
Curing tobacco and making it worthy of smoking is also much harder and time consuming than it is with cannabis. Quote:
