If a staph infection, especially MRSA breaks out they're fucked. We'll see how effective their natural solutions are then.

@mattfagan197 I mean, when your total population is so small the chances are smaller that it will outbreak (or any other disease for that matter) but like the idea that "oh it's been 30 years, never happened before so therefore will never happen" that's foolish. You got people literally harvesting their own waste and living in camp-like (read: homeless-like) conditions and have to also endure winter among other things, like no amount of magic mushrooms can take away from the fact that you're still living in Canada. It's not bone chilling the way a lot of Canada gets, necessarily, but it's fucking cold at the same time. Some guy was like "It's not so bad, I am going there myself soon, it only gets down to about 36 degrees" as if that was a rainforest like climate or something all of a sudden. Good luck with that pack extra thermal underwear I guess! Gonna go stick it to the man and prove society wrong... by freezing my ass off in some guy's homeless sanctuary lol

I lived in New Jersey for 5 years and there's only a handful of things I miss about it. In order, 1) hole in the wall Italian restaurants (especially when they serve authentic cheesesteaks, do understand you're giving up a proper, real cheesesteak the moment you leave the east coast cause nobody else in the country knows how to make them properly -- trust me, I've tried many of them). 2) Wawa and everything about it. 3) The beach. Beyond that, honestly New Jersey is a shithole. The armpit of America. If you're a younger person I would totally encourage you to go to Poole's Land. Just be smart about it whatever you do. Don't ever put yourself in a position where you have no options.

@MildredBonkers Yeah well VICE I've caught them a few times doing sneaky editing on their videos, I mean you have to understand that every single one of them is heavily edited. That's to be expected. The difference however comes when they actually cut and edit something to make it seem a different way than what it appeared as, in context, in the normal conversation they originally had. That's basically disingenuous on their part because worst case scenario it completely changes the point the subject was trying to make.

@warnistt Oh I am not denying any of the potential of cannabis or it's associated products. Disagree that MRSA was basically bred by hospitals although yeah it's a huge problem there now. Manuka honey is the answer to MRSA. To you, or anyone who ever gets it themselves. Manuka honey, baking soda and bandages. It can cure MRSA. It helped my girlfriend who I basically found the solution for her when the doctors were like "you know what we may not be able to treat this IF it's MRSA" Manuka Honey, look into it vs Staph in general. Its' a slow remedy but it works.

@warnistt Well it is true that MRSA evolved from the overprescription of antibiotics. It's one of those things that it doesn't matter if you as an individual took too many antibiotics, you could've not taken a single one in your entire life and still get MRSA (lower chance, but it is possible). MRSA and regular staph infections like the cold are constantly evolving, it just so happens this particular breed of staph has evolved to be "Methicillin-resistant" (aka the MR in MRSA) but at the same time MRSA thrives in places like hospitals actually, especially where there's a lot of people in a condensed area. And it's extremely contagious even if you just touch a towel or bedsheet touched by someone who has it, that's another thing that leads to it spreading the most at like hospitals and camps so that's likely where you heard that. Anyway Manuka honey is incredible. It's one of those things, try everything your doctor tells you about first but if it doesn't work... and you're sure it's MRSA... go get a little $40 tub of Manuka honey from Whole Foods or something like that and it will knock it out within about a week.
3
@warnistt Trust me, the honey I believe is what really was the final thing that helped but of course we had tried all the other usual things as well then just out of desperation I looked up natural remedies to MRSA and found the info about Manuka honey. It's basically honey made from the pollen of this special plant in New Zealand, I am sure science (or articles) can explain how it works better than I can but basically it creates an environment that is extremely unfriendly to it and other diseases like it. MRSA's truly terrible/scary. I hope it helps if it ever happens again, God forbid... or if even you can tell others about it and help them if they ever need it, then that would be good enough for me. It's truly incredible stuff.

he does say "I just had a shower so it won't stink" but honestly I'd not have been cool with it either way, fcking disrespectful as all hell, I can't believe she didn't throw it on the ground like "WHAT THE FUCK DUDE"

They have tons of white reporters. They really are all mostly hipsters, though. And left leaning. And ... kind of weird, for the most part. But I wouldn't say they're uneducated. They are just definitely left leaning.

I mean, considering she's allowing what's basically a homeless camp to operate without regard to the law... I get what you're trying to say, but if we had more mayors like her I'd argue we'd have even MORE homeless.
2
Derek Derek About? And I'd argue just by virtue of watching the video, let alone posting a comment, that we all care or at least have some interest in the subject. Why DON'T you care? If you mean like "why do you care what these dirty nasty people are doing they're not hurting anybody" from that standpoint, in that case I don't. But care enough to comment I do, and so do you apparently LOL le shrug

Well there's not been that much research into it as of yet for people to say, I do know for a fact that the part of the plant that people are mostly interested (the bud) does NOT have that much of a CBD property. CBD is the truly medicinal part, and it's not intoxicating either. That would include your Rick Simpson oils, etc. THAT is the medicinal part, but again there's not been enough research to say one way or another. It is known that CBD and to a lesser extent THC does at least discourage or inhibit the growth of cancer cells, will smoking weed cure cancer? Absolutely 100% not. Will it make getting your cancer treated more manageable, less uncomfortable for you, though? Yes.

I mean she says "you can get paid in drugs" does that literally mean any drugs? cause that seems a difficult thing to be able to promise
2
I said the same fking thing lol they seem to really... uhhhh discriminate when it comes to what's healthy and what's not. But I mean, right around the same time he said "synthetic drugs" he specified "hard drugs" like heroin and cocaine.

This would actually not be a bad life I don't think. They're not far from actual civilization ostensibly, if someone needs real medical help I am sure they have a hospital nearby. I am sure there's a grocery store nearby, as well, cause I didn't see any cows roaming around but the guy added a little bit of spaghetti with meat to his smoothie? But beyond that they probably enjoy a lesser arrest rate especially for drug use than the actual "real world" itself does. The only thing that would suck IMO is not having any WiFi for internet but honestly, it's freaking Canada they may actually literally have internet everywhere or something.

Anarchist commune -- an oxymoron, like jumbo shrimp. Isn't anarchy the belief that there should be no system of government in place whatsoever? IE, like, you know. No communities. No communes.

@cristianpaulmartinez52 Anarchy definition: an·ar·chy /ˈanərkē/Submit noun "a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority." As long as they are living in a group of people that is like what, 30-40 strong and growing their own crops or otherwise harvesting their own food, THAT is still a community which is inherently anti-anarchistic BY DEFINITION. I am not even knocking what they do here but this isn't even close to resembling what an actual anarchistic state would look like. I also laugh at anyone who thinks they're legitimately anarchistic because I guarantee if they got an idea of what true anarchy is really about they'd not like things to stay that way for too long. "Mm M" -- I believe you. I'm sure you wrote the (pointlessly short and therefore "dumbest") book on dumb comments, I'll ask your mother later but I guarantee you've been making dumb comments your entire life :') no difference in what you just gave us as an example from you here today. Please, do continue, or better yet don't. (He's gonna continue, watch, :-/)

@cristianpaulmartinez52 TL;DR. Sorry, anarchy is anarchy. I don't care what delusional people tell themselves, if they're living in a community, they're living in a community. That's the absence of law? A community of tree-huggers living in treehouses? It's the fucking opposite. If the fact that they're able to consume illegal drugs, and even trade in such things, is the thing they're hinging this whole "we're anarchists living our anarchic lives" ... they're only doing that because the real mayor of the real town they live in has decided not to crack down on them. It's not anarchy it's just something they're willing to look the other way on one) because they're not hurting anybody IN THEIR LITTLE COMMUNITY but two) nobody wants to go near that guy who smells like the piss and shit he handles all day. His self-righteous anarchistic self. It doesn't matter though, the definition of anarchy as far as society and as far as I am concerned is so stupid it can only exist in theory. And no, that place isn't even close to being an anarchistic state if only because they even have rules posted outside of the shitter saying "Some sawdust if you pee, a full scoop if you poop". That's called a rule. That's something anarchists do not believe in inherently, and if they do they're even more retarded for it because that's not what it is BY DEFINITION.

It looks like there might be alcohol wipes too, depending on what's in the little white squares around it -- rubbing alcohol is something that the safest junkies would keep in their kit as well, but yeah it's amazing but it does look like one of those little cookers needle exchange places will give you for harm reduction.

Priest It's just like common decency I would think, I mean even in spite of them all like "we're all one with nature blah blah blah smell my nutsack, well really it's our nutsack if you think about it" like fuuuuuuuuck no. That would make you question what would otherwise be normal smells to your nose for at least an hour. Thinking you smell wet feet and cheese no matter what you even try to smell. Not cool at all lol

@bengougeon9538 I almost left it at one comment but thank you I actually think Poole's Land probably has ... a very very hypocritical winter, if you know what I mean. We're all nature till it's fucking 32 below zero and we're protected only by our tents/treehouses and whatever poor insulation we have... fuck it bring out the generator and "Fuckface" I'm sending you on a trip to Lowe's go buy 20 heaters, offer to pay them in weed and magic mushrooms first, if that doesn't work, here's Daddy's anarchist/hippie AmEx card LOL they're doing something to not freeze to death.

@NJtheawesome "Actually, the lowest temp is 36 degrees" fuuuuuuuuuuuuck that, more power to you but honestly to me when it's 36 degrees it may as well be -6 degrees out. It wouldn't change the fact that I'd be uncomfortably cold and looking forward to the moment I could go inside finally and warm up, not realizing that there is no inside and the only source of heat is captain Kookoo brains and his nightly bonfire. Not even the promise of a gram of weed or mushrooms per hour and the physical labor and the heat that that would generate would be enough to make me want to spend any amount of time out there in the winter. Summer, absolutely. But the winter, I mean 36 degrees is still pretty fucking cold. Also, that thing about Wawa was kind of a joke, you shouldn't let that hold you back although I do definitely miss Wawa and their 50 different flavors of coffee or whatever lol but no if you do go be sure to take lots of blankets and other things to keep you warm during the wintertime.

@klevarellc8369 Well food is incredibly expensive in Hawaii but if you're growing it yourself at least to some extent that will alleviate it. Hawaii being an island the most expensive things are gas and food, but if you have solar you probably have electricity etc covered. Another thing is if you're mainly going for a self-sustaining community you won't have to experience the hell that is Hawaii highways and interstates. Horrible traffic situations in most of the populated parts of the island. But honestly that sounds like a pretty good idea as long as you can get the local municipality on board with the idea (and I don't think you will be able to especially if the substances are involved). I think it's always going to be inherently more difficult to let the government "allow" you to grow weed and/or magic mushrooms for purposes of fueling a little local economy, that aspect of the plan you might have problems with but I think you have a better chance getting approval if it's strictly just for camping. Of course, 99% of the people willing to do this are going to be harder to convince like "What you mean I don't get my pay in bud or shrooms here? Fk that man I'm going back to Canada"

@NJtheawesome I guarantee it does sometimes. This is Canada you're talking about, year long, either way IDK where you are from currently but me personally I get aggrieved when I have to sit outside in the mid 40s. That's when I double up bundles to smoke. And that's about the only benefit you're getting other than having to share a piece of land with a bunch of freeloaders and shitbirds and varying levels of drug addicts. There was a similar experiment done in New Zealand in the 70s where basically these people disagreed with the concept of owning land so collectively they all pooled their money and bought a piece of land with the express intention of making it so NOONE owned it. It was fine the first 20-30 years, but then guess what happens? Human nature invariably kicks in one way or another and people begin carving off more and more of a chunk of that pie for themselves. By force, usually. Idealism only exists in your head, in your ideas, but you quickly forget the meaning of idealism when you're hungry and/or you're cold, or maybe you're too hot, maybe you get tired of having to run to the local Wal Mart for even the most basic supplies that the rest of society take for granted now (you big shot campers you, LMFAO, roughing it... at Wal Mart). Look you'd be better off getting an RV or one of these trucks people convert into living spaces in the back (lots of great videos about that on YouTube) THEN drive out there and live out of your vehicle. You may make a friend or two as well by being the only one with running hot water (if you have the sense to set your truck/van/rv up with such amenities). Make a trade out of it, oh wait no! That's too human naturey of you, much better to just give it all away for free, at all hours of day or night. Count me the fuck out, that sounds like a nightmare. lol
1
@NJtheawesome 1) Don't give a fuck. Sorry. 2) Again, don't care. 3) Human nature is and has always been the problem with these idealistic experiments. The only thing that stays the same is that there's always morons saying the same thing "Oh well they messed it up, we'll do it right though! You'll see!" It may take 10 years, it may take 50 years, but whether it's communism or it's a little faggot camp in the woods in the middle of nowhere in Canada, dollars to donuts human nature will always get in the way of idealism, which is again just that, unicorns that fart rainbows and all those niceties etc. Remember, one scoop if you take a piss, two if you take a shit. 4) No. 5) Yes, that's why I like to live as close to the supply center as possible. It's in direct line with a deal that everyone in civilization makes, you will need to go to the store, the closer you live to it the better. The closer you surround yourself with the reasonable ability to use those amenities is even better. Taking an RV is something people have done already at Poole's Land, just saying, you laugh at it as if you're already mastering the art of removing dingleberries because you're more a landsman or woman or he-she or whatever the fuck, you're gonna really show the man by sleeping outside. OK, I said it before, more power to you. 6) What? Who gives a fuck? 7) Again, more power to you, I just think it's funny when I see all these people preaching about the simple life and attaching this superiority to it when really you're just living in a higher quality homeless camp (and that really is debatable considering Seattle is arguably the greatest homeless camp there ever was but I digress). And then they fucking admit they still rely on one of the largest corporate giants on the face of the planet, Wal-Mart, to get just what they can't out in the middle of fucking nowhere. Which I am guessing amounts to just about everything they need there, it's not like they have a blacksmith or something to make their tools. Certainly not the chainsaw Poole doesn't know how to operate.

No synthetic drugs but LSD is allowed lol OK

4:58 are these guys like in an official band or what? I am not sure, it may not even be an original song but this particular song is actually really good. I low key think it could do really well in the same style/genre as like Jack Johnson basically
