This election has affected all of us in a profound way. Peep what Immortal Technique had to say.

“I watched something necessary.
Something necessary for America to do to not follow the Roman Empire
in it’s alienation of the people it conquered. African Americans were
brought here as slaves, lied to about their glorious past and fought
hard for every small victory and seemingly insignificant right taken
for granted nowadays. I saw Black people in Harlem waving American
flags proudly, cheering USA. I saw cops shaking hands with niggaz from
the hood who hate cops. I saw white college students who have
gentrified Harlem and the last of Harlem’s bulk of Black residents
welcome them with open arms and dance in the streets because they were
wearing Obama buttons or carrying Obama posters. He truly is a
unifying force. He has changed the face of America, but now the
question remains can he change America? Can he stop the war? Or can he
just change it. America has a new leader, to me personally I have
always seen race a great illusion to justify slavery and build the
capital for capitalism. His race is not as important as his design for
the economy, but those would think that we live in a post racial
America are blind and those who think that his minor experience will
prevent him from acting with all the force of the greatest military
power in the world will be surprised. His great power is in his
ability to listen and remember, to communicate and to inspire.
Today the history of the nation has taken a turn, but the road ahead is unclear.”

And now, with hope that the man lives up to his promise, and that we live up to our challenge, I present this weeks historical weed session.

Ganja Super Skunk (A teaspoon of this in your lungs and you’re done)

Location The Temple at Heliopolis (During the Amarna Period, on the eve of King Akhenaten’s coronation)

Participants 

Moses (He seemed cool, right. Plus, he’s a celebrity. But seriously though, I really just wanna compare facial hair.)

Sigmund Freud (No doubt would have some deep shit to say, plus he was one of the first western intellectuals to suggest a connection between Moses and the monotheism of Akhenaten. Also, again the facial hair thing.)

The King Akhenaten himself. (Historian James Henry Breasted called him the first individual in human history. He’s also been called the first monotheist, the first scientist, and the first romantic. There have been operas, plays, songs, novels, and movies written referencing his story. Plus like Todd Palin, he had a famously political wife, Nefertiti, and yes, he was reported to have extraordinary beardage.)
