Alternative London

Alternative London
Yo. Being a literary type, I have amassed a library of publications over some fifty odd years. Perusing the mess, I came across a first edition of Alternative London, a guide to living the alternative lifestyle in The Smoke, published in 1970, by a fine chap called Nicholas Saunders. NS covers a range of topics, from tenant's rights to transport, from provision of children's facilities to communes, law aid and legal advice to Social Security and homosexuals. All very good stuff, a snapshot of the time in which us 'Heads' and other non-conformists were living. NS states that to identify copyright infringement, he has included some insignificant errors in the text. I'll take the rap: actually, some copyrights expire after fifty years, so maybe it's a moot point. Anyway, credit is due, and that's all I can give him, to NS and his excellent publications, of which I have a sixth edition from 1982 and once owned the telephone directory sized Alternative England and Wales.Thank you, Nicholas. A crutch when walking was difficult.
From the general to the particular, here my focus is on the Drugs chapter. Opiates, hallucinogens, alcohol, amphetamines, cannabis are all presented here, along with the topic of overdosing and some suggested reading.
It begins with a beautiful illustration of Alice and the hookah-smoking caterpillar along with their conversation, from Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland.
Citing The Dangerous Drugs Act 1965, the penalty for possession of opiates can attract fines of up £1000.00 along with ten year prison sentences. this penalty is also applied to allowing premises to be use to consume or deal in cannabis, along with cultivation.
For amphetamines, Drinamyl is a mixture of amphetamine and barbiturate, the old 'Purple Hearts' along with the legendary green and white slow-release capsules. Latterly known, from memory, as 'French Blues' or 'Blues' French being the Smith Kline and French pharma producers. NS quotes prices at 1/6 to 2s each (7-10p each) and that was a stable price into the mid-seventies. A sealed tub of 1000 sold for £65.00 with a £35.00 profit. In my experience, more hassle than it was worth with speed freaks at my door day and night, talking bollocks and pleading for credit. I also had some qualms about the NHS and chemists being ripped off, so got out for years, then sulphate appeared but that could easily be cut. I scored for a while from a villain who used baby milk formula, 50-50, described by NS as 'the kindest cut of all'. He went down for numerous offences and I stopped my occasional use.
Anyway, cannabis, marijuana, hash, grass, 'Bob Hope'.
To be continued.
NS defines cannabis in its flowering tops; tea, (only heard that myself from Jack Kerouac's On The Road) grass, weed etc. and the resin that is extracted from it; hash, pot, shit, (which was a rarely heard one for me, along with 'charge', if anyone knows that one). Paki, Nepalese, Afghani and their classical descriptions, Red and Yellow Leb as soft like halva and wrapped in canvas, which in my experience was more like a muslin or cotton fabric.
Dig the prices; 'surprisingly stable and vary very little with quality.' £400.00 for five pounds, £10.00 for an ounce, (28 g) with 'quid deals' which may be anything from a 1/10 to a 1/20 of an ounce.'
NS goes on to say that one or two doctors do prescribe cannabis in tincture, (dip a cigarette in, allow to dry and syrup to swallow. Tastes terrible, apparently. I knew a girl who had very painful condition that eventually killed her. She was supplied with tincture which she passed on to me, with morphine which she used herself and a variety of tablets that she didn't take and didn't want to pass them on to anyone due to their addictive qualities. For non smokers, NS recommends dried mint in place of tobacco.
Again, controlled under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1965 Max. ten years imprisonment and £1000.00 fine for possession.(FFS!) Dealing, smuggling, allowing premised to be used, etc. Misuse Of Drugs Act cites five years and/or any fine for possession, fourteen years and/or any fine for supply, etc.
The Wootton Report. Report from The Advisory committee On Drug Dependence (HMSO Publications) considers that cannabis is probably less dangerous than alcohol and is much less likely to produce violent conduct than alcohol. Long term consumption in moderate doses has no harmful effects. It goes on to debunk the myth that hash is a 'gateway drug' with the personality of the user being the most likely cause. I wonder if anything has changed?
Next: 1982 edition.

Thanks, Spanner. It's done me a lot of good to put this up. The Alternative subculture of the Seventies really opened things up for a lot of people and drug-taking, along with its many casualties, has contributed to the creation of an environment that celebrates spirituality and recreation among many other good things and spawned new ways of living. NS, talking about dropping acid, ridicules the fable of putting a baby in the oven thinking it's a chicken. Rather, the tripper may feel compassion for the poultry and become a vegetarian. More soon.

The Last Poets*

The Last Poets*
I write what I call Bad Haikus and am always looking for platforms to share them and invite others to write them, Haiku = Japanese poetic form consists of three lines of 5-7-5 syllables. As a mature artist, I've stolen the form. I call it Bad Haiku to avoid confusion with the great cannon of the Masters. (as if)
Just My Luck Bad Haiku.
Thank goodness for bad
Luck. Without my bad luck, I'd
Have no luck at all.
Bad Nuts Haiku.
Anaphylaxis.
An adverse reaction. That's
It in a nutshell.
Bad Kindness Haiku.
Be kind to others
And you will find that kindness
Is everything.
*They can still be heard after some fifty years. Check them out online.

Conversational now. Very adaptable poetic form, is the Haiku. The skill is saying something that may be humorous or profound within the structure. Monkeys on typewriters could knock a few out once they've written the complete works of Shakespeare. Good Haikus are transformative, as all good poetry is. All right?

Hee Hee. Nothing wrong with that. I was thinking, at last someone's responded to my post and making me argue my point. You khuunntt.
Good one.
Good one.

Over 20 years old now but if you don't own a copy of this treat yourself - you won't regret it. Still sounds as fresh today as it did all those years ago.


Shit yeah! Moon Safari was great when it landed in the late 90's and still sounds every bit as fresh today. I'm also partial to a bit of Junip, a Swedish folk rock band.

First time I heard Miles Davis on sketches of Spain i could feel the sun and smell the olive trees, Rare a record truly transports you so effectively.

Very good call... got to add grand wazoo and Joe's garage to the list. The keyboard solo on cyborg is genius



My guitar teacher switched me on to these guys way back. Nowadays, I appreciate this much more than I did then!

Lucky enough to see Ozrics at several free festivals in late eighties and nineties, once so caned on micro dots I thought I was watching floyd from the meddle era.
Great band , nice guys.
In similar vein try the ;porcupine tree’

Its a personal choice and each to their own taste however if there is a list of great albums to listen to when stoned then Fleetwood Mac - Rumours has to be on it.If you have never heard it then you are missing out on one of the greatest albums ever made.

Rumours takes on a totally new life when stoned. I wish I had the songwriting gene!

+1 for Rumours - there is a great documentary about the making of it...well, about the whole band, how they formed etc. They were basically hating each other when that album was made (which is obvious when you listen to the lyrics). Have a look for it on the iPlayer - well worth a look

My go to is Pink Floyd ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, followed by Dave Matthews ‘Before These Crowded Streets’ or ‘Under the Table and Dreaming’ and First Aid Kit ‘Ruins’



Saw Phaeleh at Kendal Calling 10 years ago and he played this album in full. Been in love with it ever since. My go to.

Takes me back to the early 90's......that and Moon Safari by Air stand out for me. I listened to Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld by the Orb a lot back then too. I still roll this one out - another great toking album.


Discovered Double Negative by Low last year and have listened to it whilst toking many times now. Went straight into my stoner music list... Sounds awesome on vinyl..

Thanks for that tip…I keep defaulting to ‘Things We Lost In The Fire’ but will play this today after a good toke on Smoggy’s Mimosa! 🤤🤗

From avenged sevenfold through to chopin and everything in between. This is really awesome to listen to. If you want a nice hour musical journey one of the best albums I could listen to from start to finish is Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream, and it's not traditionally my fav music. Or anything Led Zep.

can't beat a bit of BOC



This is a bad boy for chilling to, and the artist not very well known so give it a whirl.
K&D Sessions and DJ Kicks albums are legendary!

Waiwan is my favourite ‘unknown’ artist - really low key releases that are mind blowing. Got a couple of his remixes on vinyl will try and find them and upload here!
You have great taste sir!

Great album alright,recently rediscovering how good the klf-chill out album is,well worth a listen,albeit a little less electronic but ye,cant go wrong with the k&d sessions either!

Haven't listened to the K&D sessions for ages! Well thats my morning soundtrack sorted.
Strange Cargo 3 by William Orbit is good toking album.

Or as we used to call it....the ultimate album come down album! Not that this happens anymore, but...put this on as the last album of the night/morning after a night of raving and loads of mdma! Perfect!! Thanks for reminding me of this, been about 15 years since I listened to this beast!

You know it - that's how I first discovered it too. And yeah, It's been waaaayyyyy too long since I had one of those nights. As soon as the world gets back to normal I'm going to recreate 'the old days' :-)

Any, post Syd, Floyd for me- as long as it’s an album start to finish, for the full experience

Yeah, you need the full experience. Imagine a single from Dark side or animals. Even worse, wish you were here. Damn pesky kids don’t know what a single is. Bah humbug.

In the last few months I’ve discovered Ben Böhmer. I find his music and mixes to be superb listens while high. Mainly upbeat tempos contrasted with deep bass and uplifting beats. Give it a try ???

Unless I missed it, how has no one mentioned Dark Side of the Moon?!
It's possibly the only album that can get you high with no supply!

K&D are (were) the Dons! Love those guys I'd put Cinematic Orchestra up there too. Worth checking out if you've not heard their stuff.

Not an album as such, but I absolutely love uplifting and mellow jazz beats such as this when high...

Just watched 10 minutes of that - awesome! I'm an amateur music producer and love tweaking the knobs and dials so I will be watching this in full over the weekend - thanks for sharing



I'll throw this in... A bit obscure... Gets the old red eyes pumping and gets a nice on the go, too.

lol use to flat out play this. tried to listen again recently though and I feel it hasn't aged well. the beats aren't great!

It's all relative I guess eh! I still love it personally and feel it holds up well after 22 years....but Jesus, reminds me how old I am!

Hi friends! this time I brought only lebanese types of hashish for sale. Should I also bring some dark maroccan/black hash (according to what my sources can offer right now)? Is there a demand here for this type of sticky hashish? tell me what types of hash you like best and I will try to acquire it. I have lebanese available as you can see in my listings and dark maroccan is also pretty common here. I do get some hash from India, nepal, pakistan and that region in general from time to time. so tell me what types of hash you like best, cheers :)

No problem!! I use to get it about 38 years ago in my teens the black was amazing it use to have little white veins in it!! Sorry I’m not asking for much!! LOL

Hand rubbed charas is a bit harder to come by, I do have some far-east black hashish available to me sometimes. when it does, I don't always know the exact source country it came from but the general direction :) anyway I will look it up with my sources and upload a listing if I'll be able to get a hold of some of that black. thank you for your input!

To be honest anything from the east when it comes to proper hashish has always been top notch in my experience. It’s like once you’ve tried it nothing else will ever feel or taste so good!

Hi. I have an order which is now in the UK, so any day now! Hash I would like - Charas, Nepalese, Afghan, Kashmir. Bombay black once. I don't know if it had any actual connection to what is now Mumbai, but three of us shared a joint following a chance meeting with a Turk who I knew. As the other chap observed later, 'I couldn't get anything together for about three hours' . I know, these are rare birds outside of Asia. The Gold Leb is on my wish list and I hope to get an order in soon. Interesting point about the white flecks in the black. Back in the day that was sometimes seen, along with a musty smell. Blew your head off, of course! There was a modern myth about it being infused with opium. When I punted it, this would sometimes be mentioned. My reply was that it is mould. Opium is very dark and is not suitable to smoke in a joint. Some wouldn't have it, of course. Been a long, long time since I heard anything about it. Good one. Took me back.

It was called "Sputnik" round my area. People said it was opium or heroin but it was mould really.

Yo, LionofJudah. There was a book of hash going around back in the day, with colour pictures of Temple Balls piled up in a small mound, along with balls that had broken open and the mould could be seen on the exposed faces. I've heard of Sputnick; I thought is was good Roccy like 00. Of course, anyone can call any hash by a particular name. If you got a larger quantity then it may have the stamp on it. I've had a slab of black with NEPAL pressed into it once, which looked authentic and blew one's loaf of bread off! Another deal of black had DIPLOMATIQUE stamped in it, which presumably arrived in a diplomat's bag. I wonder we take into their countries?

Back then( I'm assuming we are at least 40 plus to be having this chat) there was a lot of "chinese whispers" so to speak but a lot of it was based on some sort of truth. Bit of plus for the seller if they can convince you mould was something more exotic I guess. Interesting to hear about your old school stamps - I'm saying it was smuggled in by the French Ambassador to Pakistan but thats how rumours start....

Yeah, I was forty once. :) good guess on French ambassador; makes sense. My Bread Knife has a way of stopping rumours ... she stops spreading them. Ha ha.

I had some amazing parvati cream in amsterdam. They needed to sell it on wax paper.
Also, proper 00. King Hassan.
I had this hash once that was soft, black on the outside and almost yellow inside before oxidisation that was incredible. Crumbled beatifully. Some of that!

Primero, Ketama Gold, Super Polm, Charas, Nepalese temple balls. King hassan, Moonshine, Honey maroc........:))

Sticky hash is good. Many punters commenting on the desire to score good blacks from Asia, which are also sticky, in my experience.
Had the Eagle Roccy, very nice, the Egyptian, which was one of the best curious smokes I've had in a long time. I knew they turned on but I've never heard of Egyptian for sale.
The Sultan. On a previous wishlist, I put down Turkish. The deal I got is a small firm slab that can be grated. So long ago, I had Turkish. So fine. I'm really into the variety here, I would say that we can have faith in your judgement and what with the stealth, the cool set up and the good deals, It couldn't be better.

Loved your Indian hand rubbed Hashishin - for me who grew up in the UK then travelled around India/Nepal in the 80s/90s that was what we smoked as a treat when we could get it (along with some real shite adulterated hash and seedy bushweed back in London). The smell and the feeling is way better for me than the modern medical weed which is like having a double tequila when all you wanted was a beer.

+1 for the Nepalese. If genuine I will crawl on my knees ( for a respectable distance becoming of a wrinkly) ...
I didn't manage to reach the source during my 1970s "Pot Trail" but I found plenty in London. Temple Balls are the best best best, hallucinations, giggly, utterly ripped. Hendrix became God etc etc 8-0
Kashmir was requested, nope haven't seen that in 50 years in the UK, plenty of "pretenders" ofc. Problem is they enjoy shooting at each other there, every so often full scale war breaks out, it wasn't an easy place to get to at the time, I would imagine the same is true now.

Hi Dir! A very limited amount of some nice nepali hash will be up next week. I've menage to source just a little bit of this one at the moment. will not make you hallucinate but is a great full body indica stone. I've actually been to kashmir some years ago, not many. it seems pretty tranquil there these days, they also have beautiful different types of hashish, e.g black cream types, and 'corn leaves baked' blond which gets a most unique texture from it's pressing method (baked in corn leaves :) some really nice gear. unfortunately this stuff is pretty rare in my living area but if I'll ever come across I promise to source it for my shop. enjoy your weekend!

I am preparing foam pads for my knees ... I hope I can catch some of it next week.
I'm glad Kashmir is more peaceful, with all that lovely hash around for many centuries I've never understood how they can be warlike.
I got attached to the people & the hash in the Kush on my travels, a nice place to be stuck mind, spent far too much time there. It's my favourite strain still 8)
Thanks for the info kind sir.

Hash from Kashmir. Has anybody, other than the Pot Trail Adventurers, seen this in the UK in the last forty years? I got the idea that any of these legendary, almost mythical, products are made in small quantities and consumed locally, with the odd Joe bringing back a small concealed lump or two to share with their mates.

I love your Maroc which has a lovely mellow stone. Then the Indian hand rubbed is nice and fruity. Both have a lovely natural taste and high. Not like the super strong chemically processed and sifted hashes which can be rather harsh and rather paranoia inducing.
Yours have a completely different ‘happy’ but pure vibe to them if that makes sense.
Definitely nice and relaxing.
Proper hand rubbed hash like this is hard to find in the U.K.
Will definitely be trying more of your lovely products, thanks so much for a wonderful service and experience Hashashin!

Couldnt' agree more bro - it's been a very pleasant surprise to find somebody on here selling proper old school landrace hash. The effects are completely different of these products and remind me of why I always liked to smoke ;-) As opposed to the chemically induced product that is generally on the market these days which often feel quite unhealthy to smoke! I worry about the mental health of our youngsters with what they have on offer tbh...Manipulation of the plant and process to the point where 'high' is emphasised over balance and the other natural healing qualities of the plant is a mistake IMHO. Bholenath!

100% agree
My favourite is Indian Charas, the best I ever tried was a Kasmiri Charas hash that I had brought while travelling in India in1991. I was gutted that I only brought 1 tola “around 10 grams”.

loved the diesel cream you were selling earlier. In particular i enjoy sativa dominent hash. Thanks for all the products i have tried of yours. They have all been 1st class. Best wishes. Nearly forgot...malana cream..

I like to see what you bring to the market ;-) Your offerings of old school landrace hash are very very welcome friend! And a precious service to all of us who appreciate the good vibes and balance of a proper product. So, bring what you will, we will enjoy! Thank you.

I like these topics and ofcourse your question. I would be insanely grateful to have some of the hash I tried decades ago when I had a lot of "connections" and knew a lot of people.
I remember black "live cream" hash (done from live plant resin)with a high some found too much! Some people were convinced that they have smoked opium or something haha. The one you can easily stretch out when its in your hand for a minute yet it doesnt break that easily and smells amazing. But I rarely had the luck to be able to source it. I found a lot of "malana cream" that was cut or old or just weak.
Also I like "soap hash", called like that cause it is pressed in such bars. Its one of those black/dark brown thats quite hard untill you heat it up. Ill never forget my trip to Barcelona and that hash. It made my ears burn and the high lasted forever.
I also remember one type that was brown and pressed in usual 150g blocks, you could cut it with a scalpel to make joints or when you put a lighter flame to it it puffed up a bit. Amazing high.
I guess all these hashes would fall into premium category, freshly made and potent in a way a cokehead wouldnt have to put a lot of it in a joint.
Oh yeah, I have had luck to have proper 100% "egg" hash that comes packed in 10 gram eggs that get smuggled in peoples butts :)
End of the hash sentimental-rant ... but the waiting for my package is killing me

I also remember one type that was brown and pressed in usual 150g blocks, you could cut it with a scalpel to make joints or when you put a lighter flame to it it puffed up a bit. Amazing high.
I guess all these hashes would fall into premium category, freshly made and potent in a way a cokehead wouldnt have to put a lot of it in a joint.
Oh yeah, I have had luck to have proper 100% "egg" hash that comes packed in 10 gram eggs that get smuggled in peoples butts :)
End of the hash sentimental-rant ... but the waiting for my package is killing me

Them little eggs that hashlover 420 has are the best hash iv ever had,its morrocan eggs and 10grams per egg but the quality is amazing,iv tried other eggs on lb but nothing like hashlovers eggs :)

10g eggs! I remember these very well, because that was probably the purest hash/resin I have ever tasted. As soon as it gets heated it starts bubbling and turns to oil. Almost impossible to easily roll a j with this stuff... and the high is incredible. longlasting and strong af! I think it was some 15 years ago ...wow Im getting old ,.-)

Think uk420 has them atm im ordering tomoro its the gelato and bannana eggs im after so hopfully it will be the really oily ones :)

Ive seen em. It sucks for me to see all this niceness cause Im in EU and now all UK packages are getting raped by customs, what usually took 7 days (I get tea from UK) now takes a month and goes through customs. Im a newb here and did 3ord., waiting on all of em still. I did one small ord. w a UK vendor that has concentrates, I thought it had a better chance and they claimed they could stealthily send it. Seems I made a mistake but this vendor is also new and looking sketchy so it will possibly end up in a dispute, idk. So I think I wont order from UK anytime soon.

It sounds like those little olives I could get in France pre lockdown, Sane thing, 10g eggs. They came straight from Morocco (I guess smuggled in someone's butt) and it's the best hash I've ever tried. From what I heard, it's hash made from Critical. I miss it!
I've ordered from Hashishin once (defo recommend) and was very happy with his black morrocan but it wasn't close to that butt hash!

Well you seem to be à specialist,so I have a question.
10years ago a military friend use to send me different hash from Middle East (Afghanistan Pakistan...) One of the afgany have a "pepper" Smell and taste, if you can tell me the name or better score some, it will be a dream

Hello my friend! Peppery smell and taste is a wide description. some of the afghani black hash we get around here do show stronger notes of peppery tastes and smells. I don't know it by any specific name or signature. next time I'll have one available I'll add some to my shop. cheers!

Ketama gold. First call every trip to the dam back in the day was always Rokerij for their Ketama gold.

Hi! I would be interested in buying some leb cream or parvati cream or temple ball. Let me know if you have something like this. Anyway, can't wait for that leb caramel from you - it's going to be lovely I'm sure!
Cheers!
Cheers!

I want the brick red leb, slightly sweaty but not full sweat if u know what I mean. Towards the cream but a few grades down, but still holding some creamy qualities. But I want RED or DEAD red. London Bus Red. You know what I mean!!!

Anything that bubbles ;) I personally like the quick gassy high off strong leb/morroccan blondes. I have been smoking some ridiculously good "beldia" hash from morrocco and it's strong and delicious.

Hi Hashishin, I’ve very much enjoyed several varieties from you; I think the Moroccan Moonlight stamp is my favourite, I look forward to getting more. I will echo other comments here in hoping you can supply some Temple Ball one day 😃

For me the best stuff must be from Morocco. I used to smoke some hash, oil loaded, that bubbled up when you put the lighter nearby, dark and soft, extremely rich and flavoursome.

more sativa strong hash... king hassan, stuff from India and pakistan... eggs, micro-filtered stuff. Stuff from Maroc is more than welcome too (e.g. 00, 000)... keep us posted!

Hey buddy I was wondering where can you find king Hassan stuff or filtered stuff at decent price?
Cheers
Cheers

BTC in the ether? Transaxe made it whole for me.
I Sent an order to DIUK in January. They didn't receive it. I contacted Escrow on 21/01/21 as I had a small issue about a year ago and they sorted it immediately. It turned out that I had sent it to an old address. From then to 05/03/21 I was getting nowhere, having been advised that I had received a refund and it was this and it was that, none of which made any sense. The best they said was to contact Transaxe. They asked me some questions and got it returned to me in days, having admonished me for my carelessness. :) Very pleased.

I've just done exactly this, still had the same sellers old wallet copied to clipboard!! Messaged transaxe yesterday so reading your post gives me hope that I've not lost all that money!

How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?

Well i'm of dual heritage (my dad was from the West Indies and my mum is English) so my 'British Bulldog' avatar and profile might upset some in this thread, but yeah, i'm proud of all of my heritage.
Racism is very ugly, and you know it when you experience it.
Pride in one's heritage is completely different.
Cheers. BB

Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.
We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.
In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.
We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.
Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.
Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.
Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.
Peace yo.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.

Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!

I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.

I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.

Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?

Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.

It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?

lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.

Proper kettle of fish this one! but I couldn’t resist throwing my 2 cents in.
Racism is an inherent belief that one group are superior to another based purely on membership to said group; that for example being white would mean that you are superior to non-whites by virtue of your whiteness. Although this is of course the most common example, it’s important to remember that racism has been perpetrated by, and against, a multitude of groups such as the current situation in China with Uighur Muslims and so on.
Nationalism is the identification with ones nation and the desire to see that nation succeed. often, but not exclusively, to the detriment of other nations.
One can be a nationalist but not a racist, but I would argue that it’s quite rare to meet a racist who is not also a nationalist.
I don’t think nationalism is always a bad thing - we saw for example at the onset of COVID-19 in Europe a large degree of nationalism as all of these countries that are part of the Schengen Agreement suddenly conveniently ignored the treaty in order to shut their borders and protect their citizens (uselessly, as it turned out) against the spread of C19.
However, nationalist sentiment needs to be controlled carefully because the downside to it could be seen, you could argue, In the Capitol siege/riots on January 6th as nationalist fervour tends to spread and morph very rapidly and almost always ends in violence and almost always ends in Fascism
Sorry for the wall of text but this is such a fascinating topic!

a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.

Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

Yes you could look into the SNPs distant past or alternatively you could look at what the Tories are doing right now as we speak under your very nose.
It is funny how a conversation about nationalism is related to the SNP when anyone with eyes can see that British nationalism is the one being pushed everywhere in Britain.
The SNP didn't spend 2 million quid on a set of blue curtains and two Union Jacks and it is not the SNP who are plastering everything with the Butcher's apron either!

Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real

Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

There seem to be a prevailing perspective of an individualistic view on what racism is, i.e. the hatred or superiority of another race, nation, or ethnicity, however this view is overly simplistic as racism is structural and systemic and is only dependent on the individual when their actions are supported by the larger system.
One can be xenophobic, discriminatory and/or prejudiced against others from other places without it being racism if they are not the dominant race/ethnicity/or culture.
Racism = power + prejudice. That is the current understanding and definition of racism in social sciences and some dictionaries (as with Merriam Webster, which was updated two or three years ago). That is not to say that racial prejudice or discrimination is allowable or tolerable. It's not. However to quantify both types of prejudice (the one that is solely individual and the one that is supported by systemic structures) as the same thing or equivalent is false.
One is an individual opinion and has no greater repurcussions than that person's world's or actions, the other however plays into a wider narrative of oppression that reinforces the structural oppression and contributes to and reinforces societal and structural discrimination.
Nationalism is different in several ways.
Firstly, pride in ones nation does not mean an inherent prejudice or discrimination against those that come from other nations (although all too often it does manifest in such a way).
Secondly, if those expressing nationalist sentiment are not the dominant authority over said nation, then it is not racism but discrimination and prejudice as they lack the power to manifest that discrimination through institutions or on a structural scale. This type of nationalism often manifests as a resistance to colonial and imperial forces. In those cases the nationalism is not being the of an ideological superiority or innate belief in the dominance of one nation over another, but rather a resistance to such.
Therefore nationalism and racism only become the same when said nation propogates their dominance and superiority over others while simultaneously systemically oppressing other nations or supporting existing structural oppression and prejudice.

Hashishin's site. Wow! Like some of the commentator's here, Paki Black, with its distinctive green interior, along with what will surely be some rather excellent Red Leb, takes me back to the old days of turning on at Stonedhenge and Polytechnic colleges, sitting on the ground (floor) and passing big numbers around, rocking up for hot knife sessions in front of the stage at 'henge. Share what you had and I had Paki Black. So good.
Ha! Just checked the post and PB isn't on it. All the other Blacks. Just an oversight. PB holds its own among such esteemed clay. I noticed that Bombay Black was on there too. Only shared a banger once, never heard of it since. Suffice to say it blows your head off. Anyone know anything of this almost mythical puff?

best way to smoke hash?

always been a flower smoker but since being a member of lb community ive seen some lovely lovely hashes just wondering whats the best way to smoke it as im gonna get some in soon, think i smoked some decade ago at college with mates and found it tastey!

A bucket. Go old school. 5 litres.
Or hot knives...
Both bloody awful, but might remind you of the 90s.
(i'm showing my age again!) Haha
Cheers BB

I remember those days. I have only ever had two whities in my life. One was in 1995 on the good old hash and I spewed out a fifth storey flat window!

Or a lung... (bucket without the water!) made with a bread bag & a plastic bottle! Disgusting but mighty

Hahaha not if you were tough enough! We called our crowd the bucketeers coz we dropped (inhaled) em all the time :)

Anyone remember a lung? Same principle as bucket with chopped bottle, but with plastic bag on end of bottle and pull the bag to create vaccum.
And a fuck me tube? Inside of a cling film roll with a hole it top of one end to put a spliff in, then palm over spliff end, suck and release palm. Named because once inhaled, usual response is "fuck me!".

That so takes me back too. Setting off to Jubilee Gardens on The South Bank to protest against the Channel Tunnel train route though Kent. Mate and me hitting the BB well hard first thing in the morning. Mate on his back on the floor giggling, me puffing for all I was worth. The Bread Knife walks in with her coat on and says: "Right. You ready to go?"

Happy daze. An allusion from Bernard Cribbins' comedy song 'Hole In The Ground.'
"There was I, stood in me 'ole,
Shovelin' earth, for all that I worth."
Lonnie Donnigan's 'My Old Man's A Dustman', Jimmy Clithero's 'My Brother', Tommy Cooper's 'Don't Jump Off The Roof, Dad', et al. The Cheech and Chong of the early Sixties. Probably all on You Tube now. Any others, you senior types?
