LAURENCE CHERNIAK has been addressed, during the year of 2000, in the below mentioned newpapers with the following titles.

The World's First Hashish Dignitary (Newspaper: "Planet Easton" of the city of Bristol in the UK)

Hashish Ambassador (Newspaper: "Dordrecht Taag" in Nederland")

Hashish Specialist (Newspaper: "La Presse, Paris, France") etc.

Also in the year of 2000, LAURENCE CHERNIAK was honored with being the first person to ever receive a doctorate degree, in HASHISHOLOGY (in fact the first recipient of any kind of a diploma to do with Hashish) from The Guaro University in Costa Rica.

*NB He has a distinguished reputation within the hemp culture for this photojournalism and his activism. His open and friendly personality has unlocked doors worldwide and many people have enthusiastically invited him to record their elusive, private, intimate, rituals. He has spent years living and documenting the life, business, etiquette and ecstasy of Cannabis.

LAURENCE CHERNIAK's life is by no means limited to this one subject. He is an accomplished actor and artist. Visit his web site: http://www.cherniak.com (for more details on his achievements and his loves). He has clearly spent his life going wherever his heart takes him. Nowadays, amongst other places it is also taking him to Costa Rica for some spectacular underwater photography. See LAURENCE videoing big reef sharks or above the water images, sunsets, bird life, monkeys, turtles, or his paintings that relate to Costa Rica.

He feels that he knows (what he should know) and should not put things of too much words into things of words but rather words into too much things like the postcard images. Costa Rica's Finest Postcards represent and encourage, people to hurry to Costa Rica, from all over the world to come, to see what makes Costa Rica a wonderful place to visit and live.

With his involvement there he has however gotten caught up deeply in the political situation.

Guaroville formerly known as Quepos has been taken over by its rightful, historical descendants. LC is one of these people who originates from an extinct species of mummies known as the Guaro Indians. LAURENCE CHERNIAK has since been elected by the military junta to be one of the charter executive members of the city council of the Capitol, Guaroville, under the direction of its first mayor Senor SHAY ADDAMS . Subsequently LAURENCE has been appointed as the first president of the National Bank of Guaroville. He says "We now have our own central bank of Guaroville." However at the time of this writing we are sorry to inform you that our Guaro-bucks have already suffered a small financial disaster in the way of our currency being devalued. In accordance with our righteous policies we have made sure that when our monies are devalued - that any new printings of our notes would indeed reflect that devaluation by having smaller size bills. "Our integrity comes first." We will not cheat the people, who only get to vote once every several centuries, something else Don Senor CHERNIAK says is going to soon change and become a thing of the past; much like the dead mummies, who yet live.

Unlike the greedy governments that deceive their citizens with false values for paper money; since the USA Federal Reserve came into force, which was when the world first began using money made from paper, instead of only coins which were made of useful precious or semi precious metals and had multiple uses, other than just coins. Paper money is virtually useless for anything else other than being practical, although the Guaro Indians do have several uses for paper money. Since extinction they been using paper money to make rolls of poop-tickets for usage in most bathrooms.

"People." he says "Should have total say and total influence globally, now that we are living in a totally modern, technological, world which can and will, the sooner the better, give us the freedom to be totallly a part of, and united, in all the decision making processes of all governments until there is no government as we have known it up until now. All the government systems of the past are indeed antiquated and a new basic philosophy and psychology of life must be adapted, for this world, using Guarolandia as its model which has been the only proven system to work since life first crawled out of the primordial swamps on this planet; (See the Prelude of Great Books of Hashish, Volume One: Book One: by LAURENCE CHERNIAK), before the cave dwellers started doing drawing on the walls of their homes to record their history.

These are not new thoughts. They have been in the minds of humans since the beginning of time. This system has been working successfully and steadily in Guarolandia long before anyone ever heard of paper money."

Subsequently more of the ancient Guaro mummies are returning to civilization and creating fascinating new industries for the tourism sector. Don Senor CHERNIAK's main concern with the devaluations of the Guaro-bucks is that he is resolved in returning to using precious and semi-precious metals, to produce only monies that have value because any new printings of our Guaro notes will indeed, at the rate things are going, soon see our steenkin' Guars poop tickets, evolve to da size of postage stamps which who knows where people will stick them if they can not use them properly in their washroom. Another question in this regard is, LAURENCE asks? "How does a blind person know when they are done wiping?"

If you are interested to know more about visiting or moving to live in Guarolandia, following you can see one of the several categories of citizenship that we have available and of which Don Senor CHERNIAK is honored and privileged to enjoy, with his several other statuses as a citizen; so can you too, if you need to get away and join us, whether you do or do not wish to rest on your previous laurels.
