@garmoon hahaha thanks ill keep that in mind, ill have to check that site out.
@gerry1 your probably right PP&M were most likely smoking it up when they wrote that song. but if i may say most of the songs from when you and my dad were my age and younger, the writers DID do alot of that stuff, though it wasnt pot most of the time. no disrespect intended of course to any of those writers, they came up with some good songs, i love to listen to that stuff.
anyway...
muskrat=democrat

@garmoon...that was actually very interesting. I seem to remember reading that PP&M hadn't written it...seems they didn't write the words. I got a kick from the mention of "ogden nash" is the article; I posted a short poem of his earlier in this thread...hysterically silly stuff. It's true there wasn't much pot smoking going on in the mainstream in 1959 ... nor really in 1962 when the song came out ... as I think back on it anyway.
My Dad was born in 1906 and will 100 years old in June. He's never admitted it but gets this silly smile sometimes when we talked about pot. No one ever believes me but dad was a farmer and he maintains that they use to plant pot intermittently among the crops and strike at the leaves of the pot plants; the odor apparantly kept bugs away from the crops and functioned as a natural insect repellant. No one ever believes it but I do; dad would have no reason to make up something like that and at his age, he's great to listen to...a hysterically funny wealth of information, he is!

I've heard from many older farmers. I'll have to do a little research one of these days just to send a link when someone doesn't believe me. I don't know why people would think that me or even my dad would make that up.

I cannot believe that your father would make up stuff like that. I think that a lot of people wish their relatives were squeaky clean & they have never done wrong. The truth in the end, is that they are people & people like to have a good time, sticking it to the man is an occupation that will never cease. Rebelling against authority is a life long goal to most right minded people, as long as no-body gets hurt.
It's just a shame that your relatives won't believe him, more fool them!
I love talking to the oldies, they are most entertaining & immensely wise. Ignore them at your peril!

@gerry1
Here a paragraph mentioning marijuana and insect repellant:
Before worldwide laws against cannabis were introduced over the last few decades, there was no real incentive to breed plants specifically for low THC yield. There is no known genetic link between qualities desirable in fibre plants and low THC-yield. In fact, since the resin acts as a natural repellant against insects and other pests it is likely that more resinous plants are more robust. Thus plants could be usable both as industrial crops grown for fibre and seed and for medical and recreational purposes.
Here's the link: http://www.taima.org/en/thc.htm

@garmoon...thanks for the link! That was really interesting. It isn't my relatives who don't believe him, it the people I tell. Actually, my family is from Quebec; farmers in summer; lunberjacks in winter. But even if the were in the US, there weren't many drug laws in those days...hell, you could go into any pharmacy and by barbiturate, morphine ... actually, laudinum, and all sort of other goodies...coke was a perfectly legal social drug. I think it was all legal in the US until the harrison act of 1929...if memory serves. Thanks again for the link....really interesting!
Dad has great stories...the first car ever saw; hearing a roar and looking up to see a machine flying! etc etc. Great stories about how they shared property with the Indians in Quebec. (Americans fought Indians...we Quebecois got along so well, you'll hardly find one of us without really high cheekbones LOL!)

Why do you take this s**t so seriously? It's only fun. Pick almost any name in Washington and retard could apply. Does matter which party, they're all interchangeable. They all have had foot for breakfast at one time.

While I'm sure that aabbccdd and I would agree on nothing politically, I do agree with him on this and the others as well. Lets not do this. I, for one, can have a good time with such nonsense but there are other personality types who simply take offense. We are what we are, I guess. I'm all for have a good time at a politician's expense (Hell, I think THAT is the true american passtime, not baseball) ...regardless of party...let's face it, there are politicians of both parties to have a good laugh at, but it isn't worth it if it starts world war three.
Still, I know that at my age, I've never seen this sort of political polarization and my Dad, who will be 100 years old in June, says he hasn't seen it since the late 1920s. People do need to vent sometimes...people of both political parties. Under the words "Safety Valve" is a brief definition of it's purpose and I do believe we violate that definition sometimes because we don't like what's being said. I wish there was a place where republicans or democrats could vent with each other without interference .... both are entitled to their opinions and, in such an austere political environment, I suspect there is a need to do just that but republlicans with republicans and democrats with democrats...not an open political battlefield. I know others would disagree and it isn't likely to happen, yet, I think conditions are such that some people, regardles of political party, need to vent and it seems to me that the definition of the forum writen under the very words "Safety Valve" would agree with my look on things. That having been said, if we can't vent our views and frustrations in a "safe house" designated to that end, then we should do it at all.

It seems to me that joking about the political parties in general can be taken lightly (is that not what this thread is indirectly about?) but when names are mentioned it causes a problem,let's just leave out the names and let it go!

There are some who cannot respect the fact that others may have an opinion.......
Jumping up & down will not work either.
If you can't laugh at yourself..
Don't see why anyone has to edit anything, there is such a thing as free speech.

Hey there, shiny hieny...how have you been? I know what you are saying and I agree with you but "to what end" is the question I ask myself. I'm like my Dad, getting myself all pissed off and twisted in knots for no good purpose is a huge waste of energy that merely shortens life by another min or so LOL! My philosophy here is a selfish one; why do that to myself for nothing? ...free speech or not? Oh, I'll fight to high hell if there is a point to it and it's sometimes necessary at work but I'll be damned if I engage in that sort of thing when I'm merely out to have a good time! Standing on principle is all well and fine but I'm not going to put myself in a foul temperment without good cause.
If memory serves, you're from the UK and you guys have brought political slapstick and satire to an artform and get a good laugh out of it regardless of your political affiliations; I was born in the US but raised half of my childhood in Quebec and the other half in an entirely Quebecois family and town. We are rather the "que sera sera" type of culture and we also get a kick out of word play and cleverness regardless of the subject matter. The US is sort of a 50-50 deal in that regard and whether its what can be shown on tv, what can be written in the news papers, this sort of thing ALWAYS goes on here. I'm not sure how familiar you are with the cultures here but when I've got relatives that come down from Canada or friends from Europe, the extremes of it usually catches them somewhat by surpise. Sometimes I think we should split the US clean down the middle and make two countries out of it...naturally, I jest...but only in part...almost like a political and cultural paradox within one confined space. Putting myself in a bad mood simply isn't worth it.
Whenever these things happen, it reminds me of my bother George. He was the nicest guy in the world in most respects but in certain respects, he took things way too seriously and personally and not only couldn't have a good time but also ruined it for everyone else around. We use to play card for pennies every Wed night and we had a grand ol' time, but if we saw george's car pull in the yard, the pennies went back in the jars and the cards got put in the drawer and we had a good time with him in other ways because he took it all so seriously that not only wasn't it fun, but everyone ended up pissed off. We could have kept playing, but why? I see this no differently.
