Default Pot or knot

Pot is sold in all villages.

The only thing Inupiaq people 'waste' is .. .. .. money !!

It all goes to pot. 40 or 50 bux a gram is the norm, in smaller villages. Places like Kivalina 50 bux a small bowl is the norm.

Pot & alcohol flows live a river in all villages.. this is sad. very sad. too many people die from alcohol, Not one person has ever died from smoking pot.

A small cheap bottle of vodka 7 bux in anchorage, sells for 150 in the smaller villages.

this is a very evil way for bootleggers to make money, I have seen too many people die over this crap. I have never been drunk in my life. I have seen too much growing up.

The toughest thing any parent can ever do, is to have to bury one of their children.

My good friend Rossella, has had to bury six of her children, Three of them have died over the years. directly from alcohol !! 83, 05, 08.
Her other 3 children died from: cancer 34 yrs young, suicide age 24, and head on collision out on the ice 07. tisk tisk so sad.

This stuff is pure poison to native people. It has caused countless #'s of deaths, always prematurly. It is so sad to see so many young people dying so young from this utterly evil substance.

Two months ago in Point Hope, a 10 year old was given a citation for being drunk in public. This is sad, this is sick. this has to stop !!

These children in these villages are being destroyed.. over . greed & alcohol.

Greed.. .. is the #1 cause of it all. How people can sleep.. after selling a bottle to a minor, that dies in just a few hours,.. then to keep selling it, only shows that some people are just devoid of having any type of conscience.

Growing your own pot is the only way to go. Plant the seeds, which sprout in 3-5 days, and in one weeks time you will be smoking from that new plant, with results you will never ever believe possible.

Using a phototron... the leaves must be cut, when they reach 4" (which is about one week from sprouting) !

If you google phototron forums, you will find out.. THESE DO NOT WORK.. it is a hoax, 98% of all the comments.. are negative.. because these people would not follow the direrctions. It is as simple as that. This is an extremly scientific tool, the old methods will not work using this device. But if you follow the directions explicitly, you will grow the best of the best ever tasted.

Pot is semi- legal in Alaska, in your home you are allowed 3 ounces per adult.

I have had many phototrons, they work perfectly !! and it is always much better than anything else available.

I do not ever sell it, even to friend.. nope, you can smoke with us, but I will not give or sell any ever. tons of people turned us in to the cops in Point Hope because we had one of these units. IN each case and in each village the cops said the same thing. He is not doing anything wrong or illegal.

These 'dealers' import a pound of weed, and @ 40 per gram they make $15,000 in just a few hours or a couple of days. At any given time there are perhaps 20 families that sell in Point Hope. Barrow & Kotzebue do not sell grams.. they sell 100 dollar bags only. sometimes joints at 10 bux each, pinners of the smallest type.

"God didnt invent brownies.... .. .. Betty Crocker did !!

I know a lot of white people who can't handle alcohol. My self for one, it's very addictive and makes you do dumb stuff, like treating your friends and family like ***** (just one example). I quite drinking on Aug. 17 the same day I quit smoking pot, and with the grace of God I will be sober for the rest of my life. I'm lucky not to drink anymore I know many people who still are slowly killing themselves by drinking too much. People paying $150 to $300 for a bottle is a testimony of the pain it can cause to Alaskans.

Default not exactly

quote: "Not one person has ever died from smoking pot"

Not exactly... lots of people die from lung cancer and in that respect smoking pot is just as bad or perhaps even worse for your lungs than smoking tobacco.

I'd agree that alcohol undoubtedly kills WAY more people than smoking weed does, but I just watched an aunt and a cousin die from lung cancer less than a year ago and it's an ugly, horrible way to die.

Personally, if I ever caught someone bootlegging to ten year olds, I don't think they'd get a chance to do it again. "Accidents" happen, you know.

It takes a lot of time to dry out them Penguin feathers to where they smell, taste, and burn like tobacco.
You are paying for the labor and drying time and the Seal poop that gives them the right aroma.

Huh? We are a little bit too North for penguins. There are seals, but come to think of it I've never seen there poo. I bet the fish eat it like right away.

Default Seals

Well there are 5 different types of seals in the ocean in the Arctic.

I just happen to have an image of seal skin..

we make a tobacco pouch out of one piece and

many dolls out of the remaninder.

This is the skin from a spotted seal,, it is unbelieveably soft !
