Some harvests are different than others.

Some harvests exist in a gray zone.

There is a hidden harvest.

There is a place between laws.

They arrest farmers.

It is America’s most valuable cash crop.

$100,000,000,000.

They say it hurts the youth.

They say it is a drug.

They say it is medicine.

I live in Oakland.

Sometimes we call it Oaksterdam.

Vansterdam.

Amsterdam.

Bill Clinton.

George W. Bush.

Barack Obama.

The times they are a-changin.

A mandala is used to focus attention.

A mandala is used for trance induction.

A mandala can create unity.

A mandala can bring us deeper.
