|
|
|
To be short and blunt.. I hope you like TiA, if you don't, email
|
|
phiber@en.com and bitch about what sucks in it. In case you have been
|
|
woundering, my FULL alais is Mephistopheles-NX, Mephisto for short. The
|
|
N stands for United States (as on the airplanes), And the X stands for
|
|
eXperimental, which means.. WHO KNOWS WHAT THIS NUT IS GOING TO DO?!
|
|
Now that we have that covered.. On with the first issue!

2. Are the people at your school say who they really are?
|
|
By: Mephistopheles-NX
|
|
|
|
|
|
Did you ever want to see your permanent record that the school has on
|
|
you? Did you know you HAVE THE RIGHT to see that record? Do you know that in
|
|
some states, you may destroy what you may disagree with in your record?
|
|
Alot of teenagers don't know that. You see, the people who run your school
|
|
neglect to tell you that. Do you want to know why? Part of it is so they can
|
|
cover their own ass.. So they can sneek by shit that are lies.. Maybe not on
|
|
purpose, but it HAS happend to me. Ever feel like the principal or the super
|
|
intendent has a thing on busting your balls? That could be a sign of
|
|
conspiracy.. In a soft term.. Not like the government putting radio active
|
|
shit in your lunch.. A lot softer than that.. But it is still there.
|
|
It might be a way for them to express their own anger and emptiness, to
|
|
take it out on YOU! The average, yet not so average teenager. Did you ever
|
|
walk in the principals office to get nailed? Like as in squeezed for
|
|
information? If you tell them you dont want to answer a question, they keep
|
|
on prying for the answer to it? STAND YOUR GROUND. Say NO! You have the right
|
|
to say NO. Its in the constitution.
|
|
|
|
Freedom of speech and public assembley.. Need I say more?
|
|
|
|
Did you know that if you goto your *school* psychologist and/or
|
|
guidence consuler, that they share all that happens in the room on record
|
|
and to the pricipal, to the super intendent AND to the teachers? They can.
|
|
They do. And they wont stop unless you stop it. By stoping it, I mean you
|
|
can say ABSOLUTLY NOTHING to them. If they threaten with a suspension, or
|
|
calling the police.. STAND YOUR GROUND. That will ad more feul to the fire
|
|
on teenage rights. I have known people who went to their school psychologists
|
|
and took one of those "sanity evaluations", one question was:
|
|
|
|
"Do you feel that you can hold your alchohol better than your friends can?"
|
|
A, for very often. B, sometimes. C, never.
|
|
|
|
Thats not a question he could answer, HE DIDNT DRINK! But, the psychologist
|
|
made him answer it and he put C, never. Then he got in with a meeting with
|
|
the principal about his "drinking problem". 3 Days later after taking the
|
|
test. Hmm, odd aint it?
|
|
|
|
Bottom line is: Do not trust any of the faculty of your school. If you are
|
|
going to see a psychologist, see a private one. It may cost more $$$, but
|
|
that extra cash is worth your privacy, isn't it?

Session Start: Wed Jun 12 03:31:23 1996
|
|
> hey dood, you in ganja?
|
|
<evilive> i am the leader and founder! :).. been
|
|
running it for 3 years..
|
|
> keep it up! last one i read was 12 and then i couldnt
|
|
find it anymore
|
|
> One of the better ones
|
|
<evilive> go to 134.184.49.7 /reznor/GanjaCrop/ there
|
|
are about 200 or so issues there..
|
|
> want a interview? :)
|
|
<evilive> interview for what???
|
|
> for tia.. would be nice to have one to put in my
|
|
premier issue of TiA
|
|
<evilive> oh sure! :)
|
|
> ok, cool, hold, lemme quit a download
|
|
> ok, ready?
|
|
<evilive> yeah sure! :)
|
|
> ok
|
|
> some of these ?'s are nessessary, bare with me now..
|
|
> #1 what is ganja all about?
|
|
<evilive> no problems..
|
|
<evilive> well it is just a bunch of stoners grouped
|
|
together and writing shit for each other basically..
|
|
> #2 how many issues currently are out?
|
|
<evilive> there are 218 issues :)
|
|
> #3 how many people do you think read ganja?
|
|
<evilive> thats a hard one.... I suppose that when
|
|
released about 500, but give the issue a week and
|
|
that reaches at least 2000, i have had tons of
|
|
callers... some are not even into the scene at all.
|
|
> cool..
|
|
<evilive> there is also a group in washington DC
|
|
wanting to contribute to it..
|
|
> #4 do you run a bbs? if so, number?
|
|
> err fuck the numbers.. these are off my head anyway
|
|
> :)
|
|
> which group?
|
|
<evilive> i dont remember the name (it is rather long)
|
|
but it is a group similar to norml..
|
|
<evilive> it is a group that deals through courts and
|
|
etc legal ways to help get marijuana legalized and to
|
|
help out people who are in jail on marijuana
|
|
possesion charges.
|
|
<evilive> that is pretty much all about the group that
|
|
i know of so far.. other then that they are going to
|
|
be writing articles for us... next question..
|
|
> Have you ever been in trouble from the authorities
|
|
for your zine? or relating to?
|
|
<evilive> I used to be afriad of that. But everything
|
|
we write is protected under the constitution. I have
|
|
once gotten in trouble for plagurizm.. but it was a
|
|
honest mistake so nothing happend.. just had to give
|
|
the man credit in the next issue.
|
|
> how many people are currently writing for ganja?
|
|
<evilive> there are about 25 active ones... 17 listed
|
|
in the member list..
|
|
<evilive> but they come and go.. there are only a few
|
|
that have actually been with us since the very
|
|
beginning.
|
|
> What responses have you gotten from ganja, good or
|
|
bad, from whoever
|
|
<evilive> both.. some people take us too seriously.. we
|
|
are doing this for fun.. i ofcourse get calls from
|
|
people calling us worthless drug addicts, etc.. but
|
|
there are probably 100 positive remarks for every 1
|
|
negative.... we have outlived alot of the groups
|
|
that we going around the time we started.. people
|
|
told me we didnt have a chance.. but it had never
|
|
been done before
|
|
<evilive> there was never a group that was 100% based
|
|
on drugs and getting loaded.. so i said what the
|
|
hell.. it took about 4 months before people
|
|
actually noticed the mag out there. from there it
|
|
just took off..
|
|
<evilive> i used to have to work so hard back then just
|
|
to release anything.. now I just sit back and let
|
|
everyone else do the work..
|
|
> What are your opinions about other zines out now? any
|
|
favorites?
|
|
<evilive> I dont really read any of the others out
|
|
there.. some are soo juvinile and immature it drives
|
|
me nuts..
|
|
<evilive> i never have thought that ganja fits into the
|
|
`zine` scene..
|
|
> ahh..
|
|
<evilive> and it never really fit into the h/p/a
|
|
scene... it was really all by itself for some
|
|
reason.. there is no drug scene as of yet.. there
|
|
are lots of calls i get of people that are..
|
|
> Which issue did you get in trouble for plagurizm?
|
|
<evilive> going to start their own drug magz.. but
|
|
none of them can really find anything on drugs that
|
|
we havent already released.. and they know they will
|
|
be shot down for duping our releases.. we keep
|
|
releasing new unthought of material... I mean we
|
|
will never run out of material..
|
|
<evilive> I got in trouble for duping a mushroom
|
|
growing article by mescalito ted.. he called and was
|
|
very upset.. I got to talking to him and he is now
|
|
our best writer..
|
|
<evilive> his stuff is simply amazing.. he is a
|
|
genius..
|
|
> What is your opinion on your writers?
|
|
<evilive> I asked him on a simple article to make DMT
|
|
from philaris grass.. a simple legal grass you can
|
|
buy.. the next day he calls with one of the best
|
|
articles we have released..
|
|
<evilive> I think the writers try real hard to get what
|
|
i want done.... I mean i cant release everything
|
|
from them, some stuff i get is just shit..
|
|
<evilive> without the writers ganja wouldnt be around..
|
|
> any stuff youd like to ad while i think up another
|
|
question?
|
|
> :)
|
|
<evilive> hrm....
|
|
<evilive> it is such a pity that tim leary died...
|
|
R.I.P...
|
|
> who's tim leary? pardon for me asking
|
|
<evilive> He was a pro-drug professor.... the man
|
|
preached, `Free your mind with LSD`..
|
|
> do you run a bbs?
|
|
> or have a distro bbs? or is that shit in the new
|
|
ganja?
|
|
<evilive> yeah.. black opium.. 701-523-5909.. runs
|
|
amiga-express on a old amiga...
|
|
<evilive> yeah its all in the issues.. :)
|
|
> ohh ok, nuf said
|
|
<evilive> cheers! :)
|
|
> Tell me a little about evilive
|
|
> Nonono, i didnt mean bye :)
|
|
<evilive> ahh! :) ok sure no problem. girlfriend is
|
|
sleeping anyways..
|
|
> And maybe some of your opinions on today's society
|
|
> bill clinton, etc..
|
|
<evilive> A little about me... well lets see.. you
|
|
could say i had a small drug problem for 6 years..
|
|
> What drugs did you try?
|
|
<evilive> shit.. anything you can name.. i quit alot
|
|
of them.... I used to be stoned all day.. everyday..
|
|
people in ganja would call me up and I would always
|
|
be having a party at my house..
|
|
> hmm.. if you had a drug _problem_ why are you putting
|
|
together a mag that supports drug use?
|
|
<evilive> i was drunk for 28 days.. in february..
|
|
> by the way.. im just asking that.. im not one of
|
|
those people "family men" type
|
|
<evilive> well..
|
|
> I still love ganja :)
|
|
<evilive> you know.. thats is a good question..
|
|
<evilive> my girlfriend made me stop using that shit..
|
|
<evilive> sounds dumb, but i was a mess..
|
|
<evilive> so i mean.. who says i will never smoke
|
|
agian.. infact i smoked today. :).. I just dont do it
|
|
as often..
|
|
> ok, so you believe to legalize, but people should use
|
|
it moderatly? like drinking perhaps?
|
|
> or not?
|
|
<evilive> I really dont give a shit if it is legal or
|
|
not.. I have always been able to get weed cheap....
|
|
and if it is illegal it adds to the fun you know.
|
|
<evilive> what is your zine again??
|
|
> What does it feel like when you are "high". have you
|
|
tripped as much as you see things?
|
|
> TiA: Trapped in Absence
|
|
> coming soon! :)
|
|
<evilive> sure.. last week i went to another city to
|
|
visit my old friends..
|
|
<evilive> it was soo crazy, we got ripped.. high as
|
|
shit.. and i had to drive.. you know.. I got onto the
|
|
freeway.. and i turned a corner.. and i saw my hand
|
|
just spinning around the steering wheel like 500
|
|
times.. it was so nuts.. I also thought i was going
|
|
to hit wild dogs..
|
|
<evilive> i locked up my brakes going 70 MPH for a
|
|
imaginary wild pig in the road also.. kinda a bad
|
|
trip..
|
|
<evilive> oh wait..
|
|
> what techniques do you recommend for smoking dope?
|
|
> i havnt had a bad trip yet.. guess im lucky
|
|
> ok..
|
|
<evilive> I like the grafix double chamber bong with
|
|
sliding carb.. buy then at your local head shop for
|
|
$39.. and make sure you buy grafix..
|
|
<evilive> trust me.. it filters your buds pretty good..
|
|
<evilive> i didnt change the bong water in mine for 6
|
|
months.. it was like black toothpaste TAR.. and my
|
|
friend scopped it out with a spoon and ate 3
|
|
tablespoons of it..
|
|
<evilive> he started to have a irregular heart beat..
|
|
we took him to the hospital and he had to wear a
|
|
heart monitor for 3 weeks.. :)
|
|
> holy shit dude!#
|
|
<evilive> just because he drank the bad bong water
|
|
> damn.. all that thc and shit in the water?
|
|
<evilive> he turned real pale... puked all over.. we
|
|
thopught he was going to die.. we laughed sooo much
|
|
because we were soo high.
|
|
> woah.. potent stuff :)
|
|
<evilive> i dont know what is in it.. but everytime
|
|
