Axis Of Marijuana

I remember reading about Lamb and Lynx Gaede years ago, twin sisters who were the white power folk group Prussian Blue, and if you recall too, then perhaps you'll be happy to hear that they're now longer hate-spewing Aryan supremacists, but pot-smoking artists.

Apparently, the girls have changed their views and attribute their earlier political confusion to naivete. "My sister and I were home-schooled," said Lynx. "We were these country bumpkins. We spent most of our days up on the hill playing with our goats." And worshiping Hitler. They moved to Montana and enrolled in public school, and around that time Lynx was diagnosed with cancer. Later, she developed a rare condition called CVS (cyclic vomiting syndrome) Lamb has struggled as well with scoliosis and chronic back pain. Folks, that's God dishing out some punishment for their sprained souls.

Lynx was prescribed OxyContin to deal with her pain, and started smoking pot to deal with nausea from withdrawal. It "rekindle[d] the creative impulses [she] once channeled into [her] music", but without the genocide, and she admits "marijuana saved my life". Both sisters have medical marijuana cards and paint, and say cutesy things like: "Personally, I love diversity."

I think all Nazis are shitbags, even "reformed" ones, but if anything, it shows the awesome power of marijuana to help even the most twisted of racist brains.  Heil herb!  You can read the whole story on the sisters here.
