Medical Vs Recreational Cannabis: What's The Difference?
Last updated : July 30, 2020
News Research
Cannabis is cannabis - so why is some considered "medical" when some is not? Is there really much of a difference between medical and recreational cannabis?
Recreational Vs Medical Weed: The Plant Itself
For those who are not well versed in all things cannabis, it could be easy to assume that there are large and fundamental differences between the cannabis plants grown for recreational and medical use. However, this is not the case. Essentially there is little to no difference at all in terms of the plants themselves - they can be one and the same.
Ideally, cannabis for medical use has has been grown organically and analysed for its potency, revealing its precise constitution. Further, the strain selection can be adjusted to the needs of a particular use, which is more important than when it comes to getting high. But besides this, the only real differentiation between medical or recreational cannabis is the intention of its use.
Differences in cannabinoid profiles vary strain to strain, making some more suited for one or the other use. Generally speaking, high-CBD strains are often chosen due to their inherent benefits, while those with high-THC ratio are often the choice of the recreational user. However, there is a great deal of crossover, with high THC strains being used medically, and high CBD strains being used recreationally. In fact, some of the top medical strains for pain relief are the same strains you can find being sold here in Amsterdam coffeeshops for recreational purposes. Recreational and medical cannabis is essentially the same thing.
It Is All In The Mind: How Intention Determines How Society Treats You
What do we mean? That the way you intend to use cannabis will allow decides over which category it belongs - if such a rigid differentiation even makes sense. You can use cannabis to improve a health issue, and society tends deem you as an legitimate medical user, or you can use it recreationally, whereby society will deem you a reprobate. At its heart, however, this the largest difference between medical and recreational cannabis: the purpose to use the herb, and how you are perceived by society.
Quite interestingly, the word recreation can obviously be de-constructed into the word "re-create," which we think is quite fitting when it comes to marijuana. When cannabis is used to kick back and relax, allowing the body and mind to rejuvenate in a friendly and enjoyable way, it is considered to be "recreating".
It isn't a far leap to consider recreational cannabis use as a way of improving emotional well-being, while medical cannabis use is focused on the improvement of physical health problems. But the line is blurring, as all cannabis use is somewhat medical - or for that matter "re-creational" - at its core.
So as you can see, things are not as clear-cut as they would first seem. CBD can be found in high amounts in both medical and recreational weed, and the same applies for THC. The real differences lay in the mind, and the intention for which it is used – but these themselves are limited perspectives, that when addressed, highlight there are only subtle differences.
Of course, this is just our humble opinion here at Zamnesia, and if you have something to add or disagree with, we would love to hear what you have to say. Because, at the end of the day, that is what it is all about – debating the issues behind cannabis in order to spread a better understanding of this wonderful plant!

The Sweeney has had a long and interesting history as a family home, residential care home and night club before becoming The Sweeney that we see and love today.
'Sweeney' as it was first known was purchased in 1563 by Arthur Chamber from Henry Fitzlan, Earl of Arundel. The property was sold by his son in 1623 to Thomas Baker, who was in the employ of Mr Chamber, and married his housekeeper. His son Thomas, who, according to history books, erected in 1640 'A new fair house in Sweeney, a handsome pile of buildings', succeeded Mr Baker.
He supported the parliamentary side in the civil war, and was made High Sheriff of the county in 1649. In October 1649, Norry, King of Armes, issued a declaration granting Thomas Baker of Swaney a crest of arms carrying three swans' heads and surmounted by a hand holding a further swan's head. The name 'Sweeney' could have derived from the original 'Swaney'.
The congregational church of Protestant dissenters was formed in the township of Sweeney in 1662 after ejection from Oswestry. The Pastor also acted as Chaplin to Mr Baker of Sweeney Hall in which a pulpit existed.
The ancient burial ground of the first nonconformist is still maintained in the grounds of the hall, and includes the grave of 'Thomas Baker Esq, Deceased March 9th, aged 68, AD 1675'.
Another inscription, which is still legible, reads, 'Here lies Mrs Abigail Chetwood, daughter of Sir Richard Chetwood, who died 1st May 1658'.
Only the pillars of the entrance gates and supporting wall remains of the "new fair house" of Mr Baker. He died without issue in 1675, and the estate passed to a relative, Thomas Browne, whose family motto 'Dead Shame' is incorporated into the stained glass crest above the front door of the present hall.
In the 1800s The Sweeney was owned by the Parker family, and later inherited by the Leighton family who owned it until the late 1960s. Since this time Sweeney Hall has been a hotel, night club and even a residential care home.
Bringing the story up to date – The Evans family acquired The Sweeney in 1993, with Sean and Kara taking full ownership of the hotel in 2006, from her parents who had original purchased the hotel.
Over the past 25 years, we have been officially known as the 'Sweeney Hall Hotel', whilst also affectionately being referred to as 'The Sweeney', and decided to rebrand under this name in 2018.
Since 2006, The Sweeney has undergone extensive refurbishments to create 14 individually styled luxury bedrooms (including our adjoined cottage and the East Wing suite) and our locally-renowned restaurant.
Sean has led the refurbishment; retaining the best of the character and architecture of the original country house, whilst introducing complementing modern features and décor that offer our guests a comforting and relaxing place to enjoy.
'A home away from home' as we like to think, and a Shropshire country house hotel that you won't want to miss.

50 Ways to Implement Health Reform: State Challenges and Federal Assistance
As the second in a series to explore implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, this briefing provided an overview of how the states and the federal government are working together to implement various provisions of the new law. For example, while the law allows for flexibility in the way states set up exchanges, states will likely need technical assistance from the federal government to get the job done.
This session, sponsored by the Alliance for Health Reform and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, looked into the key challenges facing states, including working within state legislative cycles against tight deadlines in the federal law, creating new roles at the state level as state budgets are being squeezed, and others. It looked at both near-term provisions, such as high-risk pools, as well as other provisions farther down the road, such as setting up exchanges and instituting changes to Medicaid eligibility.
What challenges need to be overcome by the states to implement various provisions in the law? What can we learn from implementation of previous federal reforms such as the Balanced Budget Act (BBA) and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)? How are states managing new tasks while making job cutbacks in tough economic times? What are some of the various policymaking tools states are using to affect change in the business of health care? What are leading states doing right? What are some of the federal legislative and policymaking challenges ahead?
Panelists were: Jay Angoff, head of HHS's Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight; Len Nichols, director of the Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics at George Mason University;Brian Webb, manager for health policy and legislation at National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC); and Lorez Meinhold, director of health reform implementation in Colorado. Sen. Jay Rockefeller moderated, assisted by Ed Howard of the Alliance.

Beauty SnapShot: Sarah Schutz from The Cutting Veg — Copina Co.
"I don't wear a ton of makeup. I had bad acne as a kid and had issues with pharmaceutical creams, ointments, and Accutane. For the longest time, I was not interested in putting any kind of makeup on my skin. Recently though, I've been obsessed with everything Frank and Whitman. I use their face serum every night before I go to sleep and love using their masks a few times per week.
This very small company called Angel Face Botanicals sent me this face toner and I'm obsessed with the scent. It has rooibos tea and grapefruit in it and is a great refresher after a long workout. Specifically talking about makeup, I generally wear mascara and eyeliner. I order mine from on Beautycounter, which has great nontoxic skincare. I love how it looks on my face and how it doesn't make me break out or flare up.. I have some slight rosacea and use the Cocokind green primer drops which work well to clear up redness in my skin."
Looking for more on Sarah? Check out her interview on Copina Co.


The doll was as big as the child.
Dressed alike they looked so wild.
Until you saw her fake smile reviled.
She sat on a shelf made just for her.
She waited patiently, an ambusher.
With her hammer she became a basher.
The hammer make her even brasher.
She snuck into the parents room.
The room was dark and full of gloom.
She was quick and started to zoom.
Dressed in her masquerade costume.
She bashed their heads in slickly.
For a doll she moved ever so quickly.
She was covered in blood thickly.
She didn't feel the least bit prickly.
You challenge this week is to write a descriptive paragraph. I want to know the details of some scary scene fit for Halloween. The gory, gruesome, morbid details of something terrifying. I'm twisted like that. This week doesn't have to be something appropriate for all ages if you don't want it to be. I do ask, though, that you make your paragraph 100 words or more, just to dive into the more minute details of what you are trying to describe to your readers.
Write the paragraph and post it on your blog, website, whatever you use to share your writing online and comment with a link to it here on this post so that everyone can find it. This is also open to anyone who wants to create a poem rather than a story. So if you're more a poet than a storyteller, feel free to join in as well.
Go write an awesome story and get back here with your link!

It started when I made some chutney - or - what the hell is in my fridge?
I found some apples that weren't looking their best today. After a bit or work, I ended up with three bottles of chutney. One of these bottles went in the fridge - where I immediately bumped into an existing bottle of "paw paw, tomato, zucchini, and date chutney."
"Oi Roz. Where the hell did we get this paw paw chutney?" I yelled.
My Roz says, "Sophie made it. You got it at Christmas."
"Oh, that explains the sauerkraut bottle beside it!"
Is growing food at home costing you more?
An interesting report in the Brisbane Times raises the conundrum of garden size vs water use as a primary cost factor.
Whats in the ground at my place.
Thought I would share what ive got going on at my place. I have trees spread out a bit in different areas and half my trees are 2 -3 years old. The rest have been added incrementaly over those years. Ill grab some photos on the weekend when i'm home in the daylight.
The garden is recovering from summer and starting producing again (slowly) - just as we start getting back into colder weather (lucky it's Queensland though, right?).

Bira: Local authorities road closures are 'accelerating the decline of the high street'
Local authorities across the UK are 'accelerating the decline of the high street' with unnecessary road closures, according to Bira.
We've been inundated with your calls concerned that post-lockdown accessibility issues are significantly impacting trade.
We are now working hard to help you address these problems, and to bring the issue to the attention of central government and the national media.
In many cases, local councils are ploughing ahead with road closures, high street pedestrianisations, and the removal of car parking spaces - all essential for shoppers to reach independent shops.
At the end of July, we called on Boris Johnson to intervene and 'reopen our high streets'.
The plea followed our membership survey which revealed that three quarters (75%) of you said trade is being detrimentally impacted by lockdown road closures.
The poll revealed that of those affected, 55% said trade had been impacted 'significantly', while a further 20% of you admitted the closures had affected trade 'a little'.
Andrew Goodacre, Bira's CEO, said: "It appears that many local authorities are doing their best to further accelerate the decline of their high streets with road closures, and removal of car parking spaces.
"The pavements are generally not that busy, and people still do not want to use public transport.
"The local authorities are doing a good job of supporting retail parks instead of their local business communities."

PetSmart "PetSmart Partners in Pethood" by GSD&M.
This Oscar weekend, PetSmart is debuting two ads by GSD&M. Directed by Christopher Guest, the campaign focuses on the paternal role pet owners assume.
The ads star familiar faces Jennifer Coolidge and Anna Faris as obsessive parents of pets. Faris plays a dog owner who decides her pup Stanley leans towards Eastern religions. Coolidge plays a role of an obsessive mother embeding herself in her son's puppies upbringing.
In the spirit of Guest features like the Oscar-themed "For Your Consideration and the dog-show parody "Best in Show," both are shot documentary style with an awkward sense of humor.
Edited 30-second cuts of the videos will run during the award show. In October 2014, PetSmart shifted advertising work to Austin-based GSD&M after doing most work in-house.


Not every dentist is trained to deliver dental implants, and even fewer provide guided implant surgery. When a dental implant can impact the rest of your life, do you trust your dentist's eyesight to get the job done?
You Deserve Great Dentistry, Done Right the First Time.
When you need to have a dental implant placed, Dr. Graves combines her depth of knowledge and experience with guided dental implant dentistry to capture truly predictable, reliable and long-lasting results.
Dr. Graves uses the full integration of Sirona Chairside 3D, also referred to as the CEREC Omnicam, to scan and plan your custom crown or implant with 3D accuracy. Using this data, Dr. Graves merges the findings with the extraoral Sirona Galileos 3D CBCT (cone Beam CT scan). This technology helps to align the dental implant to support the restoration and achieve the best esthetics, function and biomechanics.
If your dental implant surgery isn't guided, the gum tissue has to be reflected (opened surgically) so the surgeon can see the bone.
When an implant is placed using a surgical guide, however, the process is typically less invasive because the surgery can be performed through a "tissue punch" that focuses the affected site to limit disruption to the gums.
With guided surgery, the placement process is faster and easier on the patient. And, because the patient leaves their surgery with a healing cap in place over the implant, there's no need for a second surgery to uncover the implant later.
The process is faster, easier and more precise, and that benefits the doctor and the patient.
At Cynthia L. Graves we're passionate about our patients, and our entire team gets behind the mission to deliver truly excellent dentistry. When you entrust us to care for your dental health, your appointment is more than an opportunity to restore your smile: it's about building a foundation of health that you can feel good about for a lifetime.
Can I Benefit From a Dental Implant?
With a guided dental implant or implant denture, patients who have suffered from tooth loss or significant tooth decay can regain their dental health and the functionality of their smile.
If it's time to enjoy life again, and worry less about your smile or appearance, call us at (512)-258-8001 to schedule a consultation. We accept new patients of all ages at our dental office in Austin, TX.

I spent a large chunk of Friday afternoon, while waiting for the viewing of the final cut of Hotel GB Programme 5, perfecting the art of shooting Bond title sequence photos (with an old iPhone and a toilet roll) – here's one I did of Dr Christian aka Dr Know
The Name's Christian, Dr Christian
Friday was dubbed James Bond Day by some film marketeer as it marked the half-centenary of the release of the first Bond film, Dr No in 1962. Enfant Terrible #2 just asked me how many Bond films there were so I thought it may be public-spirited to put a definitive list here. The answer is 23 plus 2.

Dr. No (1962 – Sean Connery)
From Russia With Love (1963 – Sean Connery)
Goldfinger (1964 – Sean Connery)
Thunderball (1965 – Sean Connery)
You Only Live Twice (1967 – Sean Connery)
[Casino Royale (1967 – Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, David Niven, Dalia Lavy & Terence Cooper, with Woody Allen as Jimmy Bond)]

Opening up possibilities...
Off shortly to a gathering at Maverick TV to prepare for our ground-breaking live switchover show on 10th Feb. The significance of this experiment is that it is taking pioneering 2-screen televisual experiences like Surgery Live and streamlining them to a single screen containing both the video and interactivity (see screenshot in my last post Bodies Live).
Here's how it was reported this week in New Media Age:
Channel 4 spins off live web show from Embarrassing Bodies series
21 January 2010 | By Charlotte McEleny
Channel 4 is broadcasting an interactive live web show as part of the
Embarrassing Bodies series.
The broadcaster and production company Maverick TV will stream a live
programme directly after the TV show allowing viewers to influence the
content. Channel 4 said 150,000 people already engage online during or after
the episodes.
The content of Embarrassing Bodies: Live will come from the viewers, who can
comment, vote, submit content and have their health problems diagnosed live.
Each show will also feature a live health check to follow at home, such as a
breast or testicle examination.
Adam Gee, cross-platform commissioner at Channel 4, said, "We wanted to do
something that took complete advantage of being on the web, so anything that
has gone into the show shouldn't be possible to do on linear digital TV."
Users can interact in real time via the channel4.co.uk/bodies site but also through
social networks including Twitter and Facebook.
The web show will start after the second episode of the current series, which
airs on 10 February.

Here's my latest project as reported in this week's Broadcast…
C4 to air live Bodies show online
21 January, 2010 | By Robin Parker
Channel 4 show Embarrassing Bodies is to break new ground by launching a live, interactive spin-off show that airs solely on the web.
Maverick Television is producing three 20-minute episodes of Embarrassing Bodies: Live that will air online immediately after the C4 TX of the main show.
In a live studio-based feed, C4 News reporter Bridgid Nzekwu will discuss the main talking points from the episode with the show's three doctors: Dawn Harper, Christian Jessen and Pixie McKenna. The team will also catch up with a case from the previous week's show that has been selected by viewers.
Throughout the webcast viewers will be able to ask questions, vote in polls and upload pictures of their bodies for the team to discuss. The site will also host commentary from sites such as Twitter.
About 150,000 people typically go to Embarrassing Bodies' established site after transmission, and it has attracted more than 4 million visitors to date. Users have viewed videos more than 5 million times and the best of their uploads have featured in the main show.
C4 cross-platform commissioner Adam Gee said: "It's woven into the whole fabric of the show to have user interaction shaping the editorial very directly. We wanted to push the boundaries of what's possible with interactivity around television and make it personalised. The good thing about returning series like this is that once you have a decent web audience, you can use the platform to experiment."
After the live webcast has aired, visitors can choose whether to watch a full-screen version of the web-feed or watch the interactive version retrospectively.
The first episode will air after part two of the new run of the show, on 10 February.

The Embarrassing Bodies effect
Posted 15 June, 2009
Filed under: channel 4, cross-platform, education, health, interactive media, learning, public service media, Reflections | Tags: bloomsbury theatre, btween, christian jessen, east kilbride, embarrassing bodies, nhs, youth clubs
As I was walking past the University of London's Bloomsbury Theatre the other day (on my way through strike-bound London to the pick-up point for the Tech Bus to b.Tween 09 in Liverpool) I noticed a poster advertising a stand-up gig in October by "television's heartthrob medic" Dr Christian Jessen of Embarrassing Bodies talking to the student-centric audience about health matters. The same day I came across this piece a good few miles from the big smoke, typifying the impact of Embarrassing Bodies and indicating why the NHS should plug into its success:
Health fayre aims to target the young
Jun 10 2009 by Lynda Nicol, East Kilbride News
THE popular television programme Embarrassing Bodies has proved young folk are just as interested in their own health as older generations.
Being able to look after yourself – and seek prompt medical advice on problems, no matter how bashful you may feel about it – is something people should learn when they are young.
With this in mind, Greenhills and East Kilbride South Youth Club are joining forces with NHS Lanarkshire to stage a health fayre at the club tomorrow (Thursday).
There will be a range of stalls offering health checks and advice on a variety of health issues.
Young people from throughout the area are invited to go along between 7pm and 10pm and they will be able to talk frankly about any health comcerns they may have.
Club leader Councillor Archie Buchanan said: "I am very pleased to be working with NHS Lanarkshire in providing health-related advice to the young people who attend our youth club."
And he added: "The health fayre will, I am sure, be well received by the young people attending."
The question is, of course, how can Greenhills and East Kilbride South Youth Club and NHS Lanarkshire make best use of the kind of engagement a heartthrob medic like Dr Christian inspires? (Using the interactive content on the Embarrassing Bodies website – especially the Embarrassing Teenage Bodies part with its Am I Normal? videos – is not a bad place to start.)

A visit to the theme park is a summer time staple here in the US and for many foreign and domestic travelers they are a must see destination as well. But the theme park craze isn't just an American pastime, instead this love of rides, games, food and fun has become an international hit spanning the world. If you're thinking about adding a stop at an incredible theme park to your next travel itinerary take a look at these 15 amazing theme parks from around the world.
Officially known as Universal's Islands of Adventure, this Florida theme park is centered around the love and thrill in the journey of exploration. With its slogan "Live the Adventure" the park offers visitors a look into 6 distinctly themed islands that all focus on adventure.
From the main port of the park visitors can travel to the Marvel Super Hero Island, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, Seuss Landing and the Lost Continent.
With the addition of the Harry Potter themed island in 2010 the park upped its yearly attendance and gave fans from across the world a chance to explore the world of the witches and wizards from the book and movie franchise. Each island also features its own set of rides, coasters, restaurants and gift shops that follow the islands theme.
With the Incredible Hulk roller coaster on the Marvel Island and the Pteranodon Flyers coaster in Jurassic park, there are plenty of thrills and chills in each different area for visitors to explore. Islands of Adventure nabs a spot on our to list for its ingenuity, sense of exploration and attention to detail.


The authors explain the changes in the thermophysical and thermomechanical properties of polymer composites under elevated temperatures and fire conditions. Using microscale physical and chemical concepts they allow researchers to find reliable solutions to their engineering needs on the macroscale. In a unique combination of experimental results and quantitative models, a framework is developed to realistically predict the behavior of a variety of polymer composite materials over a wide range of thermal and mechanical loads. In addition, the authors treat extreme fire scenarios up to more than 1000C for two hours, presenting heat-protection methods to improve the fire resistance of composite materials and full-scale structural members, and discuss their performance after fire exposure.
Thanks to the microscopic approach, the developed models are valid for a variety of polymer composites and structural members, making this work applicable to a wide audience, including materials scientists, polymer chemists, engineering scientists in industry, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and those working in the industry of civil infrastructure.
Yu Bai received his PhD in civil engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Switzerland in 2009 and became an academic in the Department of Civil Engineering of Monash University Australia in the same year. His research investigates the material and structural responses of fiber-reinforced polymer composites under critical load and environmental conditions such as fire, combined temperature and humidity, and sea water exposure. His research efforts are also focused on developing new building techniques and structural systems using fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials. In 2012, he received the Discovery Early Career Researcher Award from the Australia Research Council, as the inaugural recipient.
Thomas Keller obtained his civil engineering degree and his doctoral degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich. In 2007, he was appointed Full Professor of Structures at the School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. In addition, Thomas Keller is founder and director of the Composite Construction Laboratory (CCLab). His research work is focused on polymer composites and hybrid materials and engineering structures with an emphasis on lightweight multifunctional structures.

Banned Again - Venger - Guardians of Galaxy XXX
Yep, Venger Santanis has a product removed at OBS - yet again. The link goes to his blog post about the latest product removed - Guardians of Galaxy XXX.
Haven't read it yet, but Venger is offering it as a free download via Dropbox.
Now, could it have been removed for trademark / IP issues? Perhaps
Does Venger often needlessly stir up shit? Perhaps Definitely. It is his trademark ;)
Is OBS obligated to sell everything submitted? No
Isn't there an Adult Content filter to take care of stuff like this at OBS? I thought so
Did I plan on DLing Guardians of Galaxy XXX? Probably not. While Venger's earlier OSR fantasy releases were in my wheelhouse, his more recent SciFi SlutPorn or whatever he calls it is not. Doesn't mean it doesn't have its fans.
Ah well. Interesting times.
Labels: banned, onebookshelf, venger
Allan B May 3, 2017 at 1:36 PM
I downloaded and read through it this morning and found it's a decent b movie style adventure. I even read the disclaimer before I got it which clearly stated that it contained content of a sexual nature. I wouldn't be surprised if Marvel/Disney caused this ban though.
Tim Snider May 3, 2017 at 1:46 PM
Look at the title. Now look at the characters on the cover. "Now, could it have been removed for trademark / IP issues?" Christ, you even have to ASK? The Disney/Marvel juggernaut was probably all over this the moment he hit the "upload" button.
Evan Edwards May 3, 2017 at 2:14 PM
Have you seen the parody porn Avenger movies, or the Mad Magazine parodies, or Spaceballs?
How are either any different than an RPG parody? Both were manufactured, shipped across state lines, and sold and taxed in stores around the country, and went on to do sequels/follow up issues.
If you haven't read it, light Zedi are Hipster Space Wizards, and Khaan is a character (which I think is actually how Cracked Magazine spelled his name back when Star Trek II came out). It is a parody romp adventure.
"Guardians of Galaxy XXX" is an amusing title, very akin to "Flesh Gordon" or "2069: A Sexual Odyssey", which is where Venger draws his inspiration: the sexually amped parody movies. Meanwhile Scary Movie lampoons Scream using the same characters, and In Living Color built an Enterprise bridge to do a series of skits mocking Star Trek.
Note that I'm not even defending him here. I'm actually asking you why a sex-charged comedy RPG is different than a porn parody or comedy parody in print or film, both of which are sold in stores and available right now on Amazon?
Erik Jensen May 3, 2017 at 3:42 PM
Because those outlets or Amazon are willing to put up with the potential take-down notice, and maybe OBS isn't? Whether Venger has the right to create and sell the thing probably isn't the issue.
Read my context reply below: I'm in full support of Steve and OBS on this, and I would not only do it myself, my business partners and I have dropped publications in the past due to legal issues. However, that is not an issue present in the comment I was replying to, but rather a different topic.
freebfrost May 3, 2017 at 2:12 PM
Yeah, clear IP infringement with the title and artwork.
I'd ask you the same questions I asked Tim. How is "Guardians of Galaxy XXX" as a parody title any different than "Star Whores," "Flesh Gordon," or (moving to Mad Magazine), "Harry Plodder and It's Dreadful What Follows," or "The Da Vinci Coma"?
Those are manufactured, shipped, and sold perfectly legally. Why is an RPG not eligible to be a work of parody? Note the wide net of parody and jokes in the actual book that hits a variety of space opera.
Ceronomus May 3, 2017 at 6:29 PM
There are some differences in your above examples. All but "Guardians of the Galaxy XXX" are actually variations on a trademarked title, Flesh/Flash, Whores/Wars, Plodder/Potter which set a basis for a parody defense. Remember, parody *is* a defense. If you are having to plead parody or satire, you are already hemorrhaging money.
Of course, "parody" is pretty strictly defined these days...most often it is satire being called parody.
"use of some elements of a prior author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part, comments on that author's works."
Now Mad? Their stuff is a great example of parody (at least it was when I was reading it) - providing commentary on something while mocking it. Now, I haven't read GoGXXX so I don't know if it hits parody or satire but the courts aren't exactly big proponents of just calling something "satire"
"if the new work "has no critical bearing on the substance or style of the original composition, which the alleged infringer merely uses to get attention or to avoid the drudgery in working up something fresh," the work is less transformative, and other fair use factors, such as whether the new work was sold commercially, loom larger."
Now, the above isn't the end all beat all of Trademark law...but I think the points are worth noting.
Simply slapping XXX on something, whether by Venger or by Vivid Entertainment is not really parody or satire. It is the content and intent that matter. Frankly, I'm pretty surprised that Vivid hasn't been sued out of existence but perhaps they've got enough money available to make it not worth suing them. So far, no challenges have been made, but rumblings are that legal challenges to porn parodies are coming, sooner rather than later. Vivid brings in about $100M a year...They have deep pockets but also a lot to lose.
If it were titled "Guardians of the Galaxy XXX," it would be near identical to "Star Wars XXX." But the original title was "Guardians of Galaxy XXX," and is now on DTRPG as "Guarding Galaxy XXX."
You say, "Simply slapping XXX on something, whether by Venger or by Vivid Entertainment is not really parody or satire." That may be your legal opinion, but it is the opinion of other lawyers and courts that the elements that constitute legal parody, allowing fair use of the original work, relate to the new work containing commentary on the original work (according to the most recent SCOTUS ruling). Which both "Star Wars XXX" and "Guardians of Galaxy XXX" do, mocking the characters of Star Wars in the first, and a wide ranging set of science fiction works in the second (a la Scary Movie, Epic Movie, or South Park, which regularly goes straight at things like Disney or World of Warcraft by name and using parts of them in their narrative, including Mickey Mouse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF4_4g1B2Ug ).
And as I note above, it is back up and approved by OBS with the same content and internal artwork (including a nude Gamora character, mocking the trailer where they were scanned) with a simple change of cover and title to "Guarding Galaxy XXX" to satisfy OBS that they will not be caught up in a lawsuit.
A little context, as it might be difficult to understand why I am presenting the questions: I'm a publisher, and have been in the business for 20 years. In general I am very supportive of free speech and (for United States citizens) being an advocate for education of our rights within the law.
I also would not personally touch the dang thing with a eleven foot pole as a publisher, and don't blame Steve Wieck for his call on this one. There is being in the right, and then there is staying in business. Sometimes you can be in the right the entire time as you are sued into oblivion by a large corporation who is completely in the wrong and abusing the court system. Being able to say "I was in the right" is small comfort as all your employees have to find new jobs, affecting their families and future, and everything you built over the years crumbles to nothing.
Venger Sa'tan'is is a great edge pusher. We need more people like him. But Vivid had lawyers look over their entire campaign for Avengers and their other porn parodies (which are startlingly dead on parodies, worth looking into for completely non-prurient reasons if you're interested in parody). Mad Magazine has been sued and won many times... but *was* sued.
Venger is likely in the legal right here, and Steve is likely in the business right here, as OBS is not big enough to weather a deep pocket lawsuit, nor are many small publisher/distributors; virtually all RPG publishers.
By the way, here's a completely safe for work example of the level of direct parody -- *that is perfectly legal* -- that I'm talking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X56oTgum_VQ
Venger Satanis May 3, 2017 at 4:03 PM
Thanks for this, Evan. I wasn't trying to fuck anyone over, but many people believe Guardians of Galaxy XXX hit too close to home. Ah, well...
Eric Quigley May 3, 2017 at 4:46 PM
goeticgeek May 3, 2017 at 4:08 PM
I did an image search on the cover art and got hits that were not Venger Satanis. Unless someone stole the cover from Venger, the image is clearly a swipe. Stolen art is a no-no in this business. Remember Outlaw Games? Venger could easily have claimed parody if he didn't steal the art.
The art might not be a swipe. The piece is by someone (Edwin Huang) on Deviant Art and Venger could easily have licensed the art. Finding multiple instances of a piece of art doesn't make it a "swipe."
I did purchase the rights to use that piece for the cover. Paid him $100 about a week ago.
goeticgeek May 4, 2017 at 12:28 AM
Apologies, Venger. Of course, the does beg the question on whether that artist has the legal right to sell that image since the IP belongs to Marvel/Disney.
Just a couple observations, the title only omits the word "the" from being the same as the original IP and appends XXX. Guardians of Gynegalaxy would have been analogous to the parodies presented as examples imo and likely wouldn't have had as much scrutiny.
Looking at it? If not for the cover art and the single image of Gamora the product probably would have had no problem. Guardians of Galaxy XXX only evokes the Guardians of the Galaxy because of the cover. The material within pretty much has nothing to do with the GoG as far as I can tell (save that one image of Gamora). Seriously, I think it was two pieces of art that sank this ship.
There's an actual Guardians of the Galaxy XXX porn movie on the internet. Just saying.
Ulairi May 3, 2017 at 6:42 PM
Yeah that's because he's not doing the porn paradoy properly. They don't want to get sued by Disney who has a track record of being litigious.
So, here's a problem you have right off the bat:
The artist created the cover on their own to represent the Guardians of the Galaxy.
You find the cover, you like the cover, you pay a licending fee to use the cover.
A cover that represents the ACTUAL Marvel characters, the Guardians of the Galaxy.
To use on a product you want to defend on the basis of parody and not as actually representing the Guardians of the Galaxy Marvel characters.
See where I'm going with this?
If I'm Marvel's lawyer and know about tineye or if they do ANY research on the artist, this alone creates a pretty big hole in your parody defense.
Venger Satanis May 4, 2017 at 12:16 AM
I see what you're saying. If I had the deep pockets and time on my side (only thought of the idea a week ago), I would have commissioned a cover that specifically fit the needs.
jollyblackburn May 3, 2017 at 8:26 PM
we pulled a GOG galaxy spoof cover from the Knights of the Dinner Table line up after the artist contacted us and told us a similar spoof he did had already attracted the Disney lawyers. Though legally it met the qualifications for a parody we honored his wishes. Damn shame though. It really was a great painting.
That is a shame. Pretty soon, when the new internet happens, everything will be legal and free... dark paradise.

Watch wildlife at Kartchner Caverns State Park
A variety of Arizona wildlife species common to the Arizonan deserts may be found around the park. Please remember that wildlife should be given a practical amount of respect and distance for their and our own health and safety. It is important that we don't interfere in their lives as we enter their habitat and do not give them the opportunity to interfere in ours when we introduce exotic food sources or shelter that may attract them.
A 63-entry birding list is available upon request at the Front desk of the Discovery Center. The close proximity of the canyons and arroyos of the Whetstone Mountains, Sonoran and Chihuahuan Desert terrain and the riparian areas of the San Pedro River creates an unique opportunity to see species found in each of these habitats. One of the most common birds seen in the park is the large, dark raven that may present a nuisance when food is left unattended in the picnic or camping areas. Hummingbirds from around the country converge on Southeastern Arizona during their migratory travels and many may be seen year round in the Hummingbird Garden.
Lizards are commonly seen scurrying among the rocks or up a tree trunk. Slow moving Gila monsters, plodding tortoises and racing coach whips may be observed in season. Caution should be taken in warm months not to disturb the several species of rattlesnakes here. To ensure your safety: keep a respectful distance, remain on trails, avoid overgrown areas, use a light to check the warm roadways after dark and keep pets restrained. This should prevent any contact with these important but potentially dangerous desert dwellers.
Many colorful butterflies and a number of intricately patterned moths may be observed during blooms in the Hummingbird Garden. Unusual assassin bugs climbing a century plant, large horselubber grasshoppers lumbering across the ground, and walking sticks blending in with the shrubbery will provide a fascinating entomological experience. Caution should be taken for scorpions. See the display in the Discovery Center about the cave-dwelling insects that live in the dark environs of the cavern.
Mountain lions range throughout the Whetstone Mountains and precautions should be taken when in camp or on the trail. Coyotes or gray foxes represent the canine species of the park. These animals are seldom seen but since these animal are predators, pets should not be left unattended outdoors, especially at night. Skunks, raccoons, coatimundi, and ringtail cats may present a night time nuisance if food is left unsecured in the camp areas. Jackrabbits, cottontails, squirrels, javelina and coues whitetail deer may be seen wandering through the park or while using the trails. Of course, bats are also an important element of the cave and park habitat. Common cave bats (Myotis velifer) exit the cave each night during summer months to feed while the maternity colony occupies the Big Room from mid April to mid October. Pallid bats often occupy overhangs on buildings and bridges, Mexican free tail bats chase flying insects and long nosed bats come to feed from the local agave species at night.
Please advise park staff of any unusual sightings or unusual behavior by wild animals. Please do not feed wild animals or birds in the park. Avoid leaving food unsecured or unattended outside and place all trash in the appropriate receptacles. This will prevent attracting unwanted animals and insects to your area and leave the animals in their natural state.
Trail Cameras in the Parks

About Kartchner Caverns State Park
In November 1974, Gary Tenen and Randy Tufts were exploring the limestone hills at the eastern base of the Whetstone Mountains. They were looking "for a cave no one had ever found" and found it. The two kept the cave a secret until February 1978 when they told the property owners, James and Lois Kartchner, about their awesome discovery. Since unprotected caves can be seriously damaged by unregulated use, they knew the cave had to be protected. Tenen and Tufts spent several years looking into the possibility of developing the cave themselves. Some members of the Kartchner family lived in Tucson and were very impressed with the development and operation of Catalina State Park by Arizona State Parks. They decided to approach State Parks to see if the agency was interested in acquiring this outstanding resource.

As the wonderful age of steam approached its demise in the early 1960s, there was a need for British Rail to come up with a powerhouse diesel locomotive to take on the arduous long distance haul up and down the East Coast Main Line. In 1961/1962 it found the answer in the most powerful diesel locomotive yet produced, the Class 55 "deltic" named after the distinctive twin Napier Deltic engines that powered these monsters up and down the line, through Peterborough, right up to their demise in 1982.
Not surprisingly, a number of these iconic engines were saved from the cutter's torch and some have even been restored and maintained well enough to be allowed back onto their old stamping ground where they haul occasional and very popular day excursions.
On Saturday 12th June 2010, the "Capital Deltic" excursion coasted down the main line and through Peterborough, hauled by East Lancashire Railway's "Deltic 22", 55022 Royal Scots Grey.


The Oppiliappan Temple, also known as Thiruvinnagar or Uppliyappan Temple is a Sri Narayanan temple located near the village of Thirunageswaram in Kumbakonam of Tamil Nadu, India. The presiding deity in this temple is Lord Uppiliappan Perumal with his consort Bhumi Devi and her father sage Markandeya. The temple is one of the 108 Divya Desams.
The legend associated with the temple goes like thus- Once Tulasi did penance and asked to be given special place in Lord Narayana's chest like Goddess Lakshmi. Lord Narayana said that Lakshmi occupied that position after severe penance and she was about to incarnate on the banks of river Cauvery in Earth with the name of Bhumi Devi. The Lord asked Tulasi to appear there prior to her as a tulasi plant and Lakshmi will incarnate under Tulasi's shadow. Tulasi obeyed the order and became tulsi bushes on the Cauvery banks. Since Tulasi supported Lakshmi's incarnation, Lord Narayanan rewarded Tulasi as being very special to him in the temple. It is beleived that one who worships Narayana with Tulsi leaves will get the effect of doing an Ashvamedha yagam. Meanwhile, Mrikandu Maharishi's son, Markandeya worshipped the Lord Vishnu and desired that Lakshmi should be born as his daughter and the Lord himself should become his son-in-law. One day, when Markandeya reached Thiruvinnagaram, he felt that this was the right place for getting his desire fulfilled. Markandeya then started a severe penance for 1000 years seeking Lakshmi's blessings. After thousand years of severe penance, Lakshmi appeared as a baby under the already incarnated Tulsi plant . Markandeya felt the presence of Lakshmi as the incarnation in the form of the baby and realised that a part of his desire had been fulfilled. He took possession of the baby and raised her. When this young girl reached adolescent age , on a day in the panguni month of Sravana Nakshathram, the Lord appeared as an old man and asked for the hand of Markandeya's daughter in marriage. Markandeya replied that her daughter is too young and could not even cook with proper salt in the food,to which the Lord in the guise of the old man replied that he was ready to accept her and her cooking without salt. Markandeya later realised this was none other the Lord narayan himself and offered his daughter's hand in marriage and performed the kannikaathaanam of his daughter (Lakshmi) to the Lord.
Since the Lord had said that He will accept the food that is not salted as His best and most desired food, this temple Neivethiyam is always done without salt in any food. The name Oppiliappan ( uppu illa appan) is as result of this legend.
Inscriptions here date the temple during the period of Rajendra Chola.The temple has a 50 feet high five tiered Raja gopuram facing east and has two prakarams. Stone inscriptions here refer to the temple as Tiruvinnagar - Tirunageswaram and Uyyakkondaar Valanaadu.
Oppiliappan stands upto 8 feet tall in the centre. Below him Bhoomidevi faces north in a kneeling posture while Makandeya Maharishi who has the boon of retaining his age as 16 forever is the position to the marriage to his daughter.
Inside the praharam, alwars' sannidhis are seen in the northern side. Then we can see sannidhis for Krishna and Sri Rama.Garuda's sannidhi faces towards the sanctum sanctorum.
Behind the Garudan's sannidhi is the dwajasthambam, bali peedam and an eight pillared mantap. We can see beautiful paintings of dasavatharam and inscriptions of the 'Thirupavai' pasurams.
There is a small 'thulabaram' to the right side before you enter the sanctum sanctorum. Devotees can offer anything as per their vow except salt .
The prasadams like tamarind rice, fried snacks are prepared witout salt. If one tastes them inside the temple, they seem to taste normal. If they take them outside and eat them, they can realise that it does not contain salt.
Sravanam is very special here. During that day devotees take a dip in the temple tank and get the darshan of 'sravana' deepam. Another beleif is that if you offer sandal and kumkum you get salvation from brahmahathi dosha. Offering of doopakal,deepkal and bell will releive you of all sins.
People offer black peppers with salt at Lord Narayana's feet in front of the Garudazhwar, to cure them of any dermal diseases.
It is believed that praying to Lord and Mother in the temple would ensure unity among the couples and cultivate harmony in their life.
There is also a story behind the tank in this temple. There lived a king called Devasarma and he became passionate about Zaina muni's ( a rishi) daughter and had wanted to forcibly take her. Seeing this the rishi cursed him to become a bird. Realising his mistake he pleaded to the sage for forgiveness. The sage softened by his pleadings asked him (who had become a bird ) to go to Markandeya kshetram ( now oppiliyappan koil) and hang himself upside down in a tree like bat. The King did as was told and one night when there was a storm and the branch of the tree the bird was sleeping on broke and fell into the water of this tank. The bird which got dipped by this accident in the tank regained its original form as the King and since then this is known as the only theerththam that one can take bath even in the night. In general bathing in temple tank in the night is not recommended by our scriptures but the rule is exempted here and hence it is called "ahoraathra pushkarani" ( Ahoraatra in Sanskrit meaning day and night).
Panguni ( mid Mar - mid Apr) - Srirama Navami utsavam for 10 days. Marghazhi ( mid Dec - mid Jan) - Pahal pathu for 10 days and Rapathu 10 days.

Independence Day 2022 : Northeast's 'Valiant Queens' & Unwavering Contributions In Freedom Struggle
Posted in Featured, Northeast, Women
India's freedom struggle witnessed mass participation of women on an unprecedented scale, but unfortunately, several of them remained invisible, unknown and unsung in the heap of our history textbooks.
These courageous queens stepped forward and took control of the movement, thereby placing their names into the history for their unwavering and selfless devotion to serving the nation.
On this auspicious occasion of India's 75th years of Independence, let's have a look at some of these courageous women freedom fighters from Northeast India, who inspired and contributed immensely to shape Independent India.
KANAKLATA BARUAH :
Kanaklata Barua was born in Barangabari, Assam in 1924. She is one of the youngest martyrs of the Quit India Movement. On 20 September 1942 17-year-old Barua joined a group of freedom fighters and marched towards Gohpur Police station to unfurl the Tricolour in support of the Quit India Movement.
Police at the station opened indiscriminate firing on the group to prevent them from committing such daring act. Kanaklata Barua was martyred with a Tricolour furling in her hands.
TILESWARI BARUAH :
The martyrs' memorial in the Dhekiajuli police station compound
The only daughter of Bhabakanta Barua – a marginal peasant of village Nij Bargaon under Assam's Dhekiajuli police station, Tileswari Baruah was so much influenced by the patriotic songs composed by Jyotiprasad Agarwala, that she voluntarily joined the procession that local Congress leaders had organized to hoist the Tricolor atop the local police station on September 20, 1942.
Carrying a small flag in her hand, Tileswari was in the crowd which had entered the police station compound.
Tileswari was behind Monbor Nath, who headed the local 'Mrityu Vahini' group. When Nath defied orders of the police officer and climbed atop the police station, he was gunned-down within a few seconds. Other volunteers followed, one by one. Tileswari was the fourth to be hit by the bullet after Nath, Kumoli Devi and Mohiram Koch.
CHANDRAPRAVA SAIKIANI :
Chandraprava Saikiani was a freedom fighter, activist, writer, and social reformer from Assam. Considered to be the pioneer of the feminist movement in Assam; Saikiani was the founder of The All Assan Pradeshik Mahila Samiti – a non-governmental organization working for the welfare of the women of Assam.
She made a clarion-call against child marriage, polygamy and the discrimination of women at the temples and to take up issues like women's education and self-employment.
During her stay at Tezpur, she associated with luminaries like Jyotiprasad Agarwala, Omeo Kumar Das, and Chandranath Sarma. In 1918, at the Tezpur session of Asom Chhatra Sanmilan, she was the only female delegate and addressed a huge throng on the harmful effects of opium eating and asked for its ban. It was the first event where an Assamese woman spoke in front of a large gathering.
Inspired by the rise of nationalism in 1921, she joined the non-co-operation movement of Mahatma Gandhi and worked to spread the message among women of Tezpur.
DARIKI DASI BARUAH :
Baruah was actively involved in the Civil Disobedience Movement. Considered as one of the leading members of the anti-opium campaign, she was arrested on February 1, 1932, and was jailed for six months for anti-opium picketing. She was pregnant at the time of imprisonment, but refused to take conditional release from jail. Eventually, she fell sick and died in the prison on April 26, 1932.
NALINIBALA DEVI :
Born on Mar 23, 1989, Nalinibala Devi was a daughter of the prominent freedom fighter from Assam and writer – Nabin Chandra Bardoloi, who actively participated in the Non-cooperation movement led by Gandhi. A revered figure in the Assamese literature circuit, Nalinibala Devi started writing poems which were fuelled by patriotic emotions.
Nalinibala was one of the few women who came forward to support Gandhi in the Non-cooperation and the Swadeshi movement in Assam.
Hemanta Kumari Devi, Guneswari Devi, and Nalinibala together opened a weaving training centre in Guwahati to increase the production of Khadi.
A number of women, influenced by the revolutionaries who were trying to use Khadi as a weapon against the British, stunned everyone when they stitched 500 khadi caps for Congress workers during the visit of Gandhi.
AMAL PRABHA DEVI :
Amal Prabha Das was born on November 12, 1911, to Hare Krishna Das and Hema Prabha Das in Dibrugarh, Assam.
In 1934, Amal Prabha attained the opportunity to interact with Mahatma Gandhi, who stayed at her house during his visit to Guwahati. The meeting influenced her greatly and motivated her to work for the welfare of the society.
Amal Prabha along with her mother visited the Maganbari Centre of Self Development at Wardha in 1939 to learn about the village reform activities. The family soon set up indigenous industries on their land in the Sarania Hills and began training the local people in small-scale industries and handicraft work.
REBATI LAHON :
Born in Teok, Rebati Lahon was a key figure and one of the core members of the Quit India Movement. In 1942, she was imprisoned and owing to the cramped living conditions in prison, she suffered from pneumonia. She passed away, after been released from jail.
LALNU ROPUILIANI :
Lalnu Ropuiliani was one of the bravest souls in Mizoram who opposed British aggression. She was the front-runner in the movement which was also joined by hundreds of women. They were determined not to allow them to make inroads in their lands by the British. She died on January 3, 1895 in Chittagong jail.
RANI GAIDINLIU :
Born on January 26, 1915 at Luangkao Village now in Taosem Sub-Division under Tamenglong District of Manipur state, Rani Gaidinliu – the Naga spiritual and political leader, led an armed uprising against the British in Manipur, Nagaland and Assam.
Rani Gaidinliu at the age of 13 associated with Jadonang and became his lieutenant in throughout his social, religious and political movements. Gaidinliu, along with her cousin Haipou Jadonang joined the Heraka movement, which aimed at revival of the Naga tribal religion and establishing self-rule of the Nagas (Naga Raj) ending the British rule.
Its pertinent to note that Haipou Jadonang was a spiritual and political Rongmei Naga leader from Manipur who fought for freedom from the clutches of the British colonial rule. After Jadonang, Gaidinliu took up the leadership of this movement, and valiantly fought against the British.
Gaidinliu commenced a serious revolt against the British after the martyrdom of Jadonang, which led to her imprisonment by the Britishers for 14 years. Finally released in 1947, her role in the struggle against Britishers was highly acknowledged, which led to her introduction as "Rani".
Released from Tura Jail after India attained Independence, the renowned freedom fighter passed away on February 17, 1993 at her native village Luangkao.
She was conferred with the Tamrapatra in 1972, Padma Bhushan in 1982, Vivekananda Sewa Summan in 1983, Stree Shakti Purashkar in 1991 and Bhagwan Birsa Munda Puraskar in 1996 posthumously. However, the Government of India (GoI) on 1996 also issued a Commemorative Stamp of Rani Gaidinliu.
KA PHAN NONGLAIT :
'Ka Phan Nonglait' – a freedom warrior from the Khasi Hills of Meghalaya bravely assisted 'U Tirot Sing Syiem', who drew his lineage from the Syiemlieh clan and declared war and fought against British for attempts to take over control of the Khasi Hills.
When the British soldiers started to move out of Moirang Village and headed for Nongkhlaw, soldiers of Tirot Singh set a trap for the British soldiers at Langstiehrim.
Due to the heat, British soldiers rested near a waterfall. While, brave Phan Nonglait made the soldiers of Tirot Sing wait in the shadows. She provided the British soldiers who rested at the waterfall with drinks, took away all their weapons to throw under the rock hole of the waterfall; and later the soldiers of U Tirot Sing captured the British soldiers easily.
BHOGESWARI PHUAKANII :
She is one of the prominent martyrs of August Kranti (Quit India Movement) from Nagaon District of Assam. She was shot dead during non-violent protest marches against British rule.
