Thanks, I agree.

Hi, Benna. I appreciate your additions to the NAMBLA page, as I have worked hard to ensure that the article adheres to the highest standards of neutrality and quality. However, the substance of one of your edits is based in error. Ginsberg did more than merely support the right of NAMBLA to march. He himself was an outspoken member who, during one memorable televised interview for a newscast in the midst of the Revere sex scandal, jested about the harmlessness of the sex he had had sex in the back of his father's candy store when he was a young boy.

A simple Google of "Ginsberg NAMBLA" will turn up numerous hits to confirm that Ginsberg's involvement in NAMBLA surpassed lobbying for its right to march. Ginsberg is on record as having said, "Attacks on NAMBLA stink of politics, witchhunting for profit, humorlessness, vanity, anger and ignorance,...I'm a member of NAMBLA because I love boys, too - everybody does, who has a little humanity."

I hope this clarifies the misperceptions you may have harbored in regards to this issue. Again, thanks for your contributions. Corax 08:09, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

tobacco

At high doses tobacco is hallucinogenic, just put in some info about that and can provide references if necessary, although it will take me a day or two to find. eating a handful of rustica is much different than smoking a cigarette. I've been organizing some of these categories and placed tobacco in both herbal & fungal stimulants as well as herbal & fungal hallucinogens; as those are subcategories of herbal & fungal drugs/medicines, its already in that category by default. If you are still unhappy with this please get in touch on my talk page, as i'm sure we can figure something out. --Heah 00:47, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

oh, and you're right about cannabis, instead i've made the cannabis category a sub-category of herbal & fungal drugs/medicines without changing anything else. thanks. --Heah 00:52, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cannabis/LSD

Hello Benna, thought I'd drop over to your Talk page to discuss what you're saying on the Talk:Cannabis (drug) page regarding what you claim to be the spiritual or non-such effects of these materials. It is indeed not my business to know too much in the way of specific detail, but I enquire anyhow, whether you base your position on external research, assumptions of some kind, reports of actual cannabis/LSD users, or personal experience.

Ginsberg and the North American Man/Boy Love Association

It looks to me like you probably have a better understanding of Ginsberg than me. I've just replaced an awful link to the NAMBLA lobbying website to support Ginsberg's association to them in the NAMBLA article with a more neutral reference. But, the NAMBLA article and the section in the Ginsberg article on his association with the organization could use some fixing up and proper referencing. John Nevard (talk) 15:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
