Agree with all your list except the Stoli Vanil. I find the Stoli flavoured vodkas are too sweet and fake-flavoured.

Absolut, imo, has the nicest generally commercially available flavoured vodkas. Absolut Manadrin + soda water + ice = summer.

The hippie arguement is a strange one. I like to think that a person should be able to do whatever they want to, as long as they don't endanger anyone else. You wanna get smoked out to the beejesus, go ahead, that isn't hurting anyone. Want to consume ethanol laced with an aromatic compound, be my guest. Want to lay butt-nekked in your back yard, go ahead. People are way to concerned with other peoples private lives and what they do with their own time. Put that energy into doing some good, instead of worrying what I do that has no effect on you.

- And I'm done

Somehow, the catchphrase isn't the same when you add hemp in it.

Clear as hemp vodka? No good. My life is ruined.

Frankie13 - KetelOne.com has it listed as a vodka, however, it could be available somewhere else as a jenever.

Bill_Wick's_Friend - Stoli Vanil + Coke/Diet Coke = Nice. And I agree with the Abs Mandarin.

crossbuster

When it's bred for industrial purposes, they select for stronger fibers, bigger seeds with more oil, fast growth, etc. As a result, industrial hemp generally has around 1% THC, so it's pretty much useless as a drug.

True, but THC can easily be extracted and concentrated, so though I disagree with the law, I can see where it would apply to commercial hemp even with its low THC content.

No, gin is "jenever", vodka is "wodka". I guess I was wrong about Ketel One being gin.

If they made Jack Daniels that didn't taste like urine that had been soaking in a mesquite grill for 10 years, I'd drink it.

Crown or Jameson for me sir.

Jack Daniels does not taste like urine. Urine tastes much saltier.

If we legalize hemp, we'll be able to put to use all the farmland that used to be able to grow tobacco on.

Hemp is bad. We should not be making paper out of it (even though it's a farking weed that grows back fully every year.) Instead, it makes more sense to log national forests to make asswipe.

Info on Colorado Hemp Project

There are some annoying facts about how "There is a cognitive difference, a botanical difference, and a legal difference." from marijuana, but don't let those slow you down.

Belvedere beats all other vodka.

Potata vodka is the best. Smooth...can be drunk straight. Chopin is the leading brand, but try Blue Ice...an all potato vodka from Idaho.


Luksusowa is the best. God, those Polacks make the finest wodka in the world.

Tito's handmade Texas Vodka is pretty damn tasty.

BTW, since vodka ins almost pure alchahol and water, it is less likely to give hangovers.
 
2004-06-07 05:28:16 PM
What can't they make out of Hemp? Clothing, hair products, health foods, paper... and now vodka.

Thankfully it looks like the US is starting to warm up to the fact that hemp is an extremely versatile plant with many uses. I am now able to purchase hemp-based hair styling goo, and am able to purchase unprocessed hemp oil at my local health food store.

"Once while baby-sitting, my cousin got loaded on hemp vodka. After giving the baby a bath, she tried to dry it off in the microwave! Wicked shiat, man!"

My name is Voronezhnefteproduct and I do not approve this message.

I find it amusing that all the hemp advocates spend so much time trying to convince people that "hemp != marijuana." It's not that I don't believe them, but that they only have themselves to blame.

As a quick example, do a google for "hemp". Most of the top sites have the standard ramblings, but are also chock full of pro-marijuana news, ads for pot growing videos and "clear urine in 3 days!" Way to mix your message, guys...

I also find it interesting that although help is supposed to be some kind of miracle plant (which is legal to grow in other areas of the world), there is no major global hemp industry that US businesses are missing out on... But big business / capitalism is supposed to do anything to make a buck, so how could they possible miss out on this? Could it be that although hemp has some niche uses, that the widespread benefits are overstated?! I've love to see George Washington Carver participate in a hmlp-vs-peanut debate. :-)

And, before the inevitable flames come in... Legalizing hemp is fine by me. Hell, growing pot should probably be legal to. I just find most of the advocacy to be rather disingenuous.

Tin Foil Hat

Yes.

From netdoctor...

Ironically, it isn't the alcohol so much as the toxic compounds called congeners, present in most drinks, which cause the problem. Researchers have found that the darker the drink, the worse the hangover. So, beware of red wine, brandy or port. In one study, the hangover symptoms were almost twice as bad in volunteers who drank Bourbon whiskey compared to vodka.

"since vodka is almost pure alchohol and water, it is less likely to give hangovers."

Really?


No. Well, yes and no. Not if it's poorly filtered - that shiat will completely mess your head up. A nice, well-filtered one like Skye? Yep, no real hangover worries.
 
2004-06-07 05:51:00 PM
What's the unit of measure of hangover?

I'm gonna go look this up because it sounds like a lot of BS to me.

whidbey65...

And what arguement is that? The one where you just put some one down for having an opinion? I could tell how clear, concise and openminded you were just by the why you called me "moran" and missed its preceding comma.

Whose the moran now?

Offended "True, but THC can easily be extracted and concentrated, so though I disagree with the law, I can see where it would apply to commercial hemp even with its low THC content."

The 33 countries that allow it to be grown don't seem to have that problem.

Why do you hate America so much?

Seriously, I'm with ya. Americans spend way too much time and energy trying to legislate things they don't approve of. There are way too many laws in this here "Land of the Free".
 
2004-06-07 05:54:26 PM
"Whose the moran now?"

Lol, I hope that was deliberate.
 
2004-06-07 05:58:46 PM
I went that page about the vodka hangover thing and it also states that mixing different alcohol beverages has an increased affect. We all know that the different TYPES of drinks matter not at all, it just so happens that when you switch from beer to shots, you're drinking at an increased rate. That's all. Netdoctor blows.

oh yeah and it doesn't even mention where these studies were conducted or by whom.
 
2004-06-07 06:00:37 PM
and so the debate, if it can be so called,
goes on and on and on and on....

'real freedom scares you, and so you chicken
out and attack me, you say love it or leave
it, i'll beat you up if you criticize it.'

-dead kennedys

pot should be legal, doubt it'll happen though.
no real tax base, that is your problem.
if miracle grow insn't gonna see 1000% profits
hence the feds make money it will never happen.

that being said, you really do get off lighter
if you just choose to be a rapist over a pothead.

at least they don't take *all* your shiat when
you get busted for that 'lesser crime'

Stoli Vanil + Coke/Diet Coke = Nice

Sounds too sweet for me.

Of course, I consider the hint of orange essence in an Absolut Mandarin and soda to be bordering on "too sweet", so anything with Coke is likely to be far too sweet for me.
 
2004-06-07 06:07:55 PM
Yeah, Whidbey, you missed a comma, stoner!

You don't even know how to have an arguement with some one, by the why!

Indeed, Whose the moran now?
 
2004-06-07 06:12:25 PM
We all know that the different TYPES of drinks matter not at all, it just so happens that when you switch from beer to shots, you're drinking at an increased rate.

It's not just that - beer and hard alcohols metabolize differently. Think of beer as the time-release alcohol. When you switch from beer to shots you're not just increasing the rate of alcohol consumption, you are still absorbing alcohol from the beer when you start absorbing alcohol from the shots. It's very easy to overload your capacity to absorb alcohol this way.

'but what can just one of us do?
against all that money and power
trying trying to crush down like roaches?
you won't destroy society in a day,
until you change yourself first from
the inside out.

we can start, by not lying so much,
and treating other people like dirt,
it's so easy not to base your life
on how much you can stand
you know it feels good, to get that
monkey off your back.'

Actually, hangovers are cause by ethel alcohol. The amount in the booze. Vodka has a high amount. Beer does not.

\thinks he is so smart
 
2004-06-07 06:19:11 PM
I tend to go toward the libertarian stance on things, and I don't even believe in free will except as a perception.

It is really funny, however, to see so many pot smokers advocating hemp for apparently no reason other than their concern for our national forests and farmers.

You think just maybe you are a) sheep for the 'legalize hemp' movement and b) making those who are against marijuana really paranoid due to your association.

Absolut is over-hyped and over-advertised swill for the prices it goes for.
