 From the home page, specific categories may be selected with type= . 
 In this example, type=medical limits the display to items in 
 the cannabisnews "medical" category. Using type=justice

 and so on. (categories: America, Clinton, DARE, DEA, FBI, 
 MAP News, NIDA, NORML, arrests, cannabis, drug_testing, hemp, 
 justice, medical, narcotics, paraphernalia, police, science, 
 surveillance, violence.)

 Single threads may be converted to RSS, also. In this example
 we ask for thread 19811. Threads are specified by number.
 Also, the rss= option lets us specify the desired RSS version.
 (The RSS version defaults to 1.0; rss= may be specified for any 
 of the commands that generate RSS.)
