    Research - Cannabis Attenuates MDMA-induced Neurotoxicity

    Ya, i get what you mean, but it does say that it "can provide some protection", not that it necessarily does :P. It's also the first study of this kind that I know of, so it remains to be seen if further studies researching the same thing get the same results.. It's certainly not bad news...

    Can a psychonaut be a psychonaut without drugs?

    Actually, and I'm pretty sure you are aware of this, holotropic breathwork does seem to be a reliable substitute to psychedelic drugs in order to have mystical experiences. Keyword might be "guarantee", it is not guaranteed 100%, but from what I gathered it does seem to work for a lot of people...

    Ego loss.

    I think IJC is gettig at something more. I agree though that the term "unconscious" might be misleading. In my opinion complete ego-loss would actually result in pure 'consciousness', which would be the exact opposite of being unconscious, in my understanding. But I can also see how one could...

    uncontrolled images.

    Actually those are risk factors or signs of later development of an anti-social personality disorder (a.k.a. in extreme forms: psychopaths). But they're not signs of being (or becoming) psychotic as far as I know :b. Sounds like he's doing fine though. It has to be said, though, that psychopaths...

    uncontrolled images.

    People suffering from schizophrenia CAN be conscious of the fact that they are 'crazy', no matter the severity. Of course it is true that the more severe the psychotic episode, the less likely the person is aware of his or her condition at the time, but it's not without exceptions. Also in the...

    Salvia being sold in drugstore

    It is probably not Salvia Divinorum, but some other genus of the Salvia family. There are several kinds of salvia, of which only the divinorum one is hallucinogenic as far as I know. The others are indeed partly sold in 'herbal' drug stores, which are supposed to have a relaxing effect, I think...

    Money should be discontinued.

    Sorry I skimmed through your post, and didn't read everything, as I'm very tired and about to go to bed. Anyway, I already do all of those things, and yes this would be (the beginning to) the solution if everybody would act this way, but thing is... not all people act this way. Actually only a...

    Money should be discontinued.

    I totally agree, that money is the root problem of our society. But like Tiax said, what would be a good alternative? One could say, trading the goods themselves directly without the currency, but I don't see that working on a global scale, with international trade and such; it's too complex I...

    New RC product

    hahah nice copyingcatting there, but its not three days ago anymore, it's five now ;) It's funny, they changed the "Example link" to my post. I feel kind of proud, haha 8) - Rediculous, I know :P Maybe it'll attract some new (english speaking) members :D

    New RC product

    Hmm seems interesting, certainly caught my eye. Apparently the free sample offer was such a success, they made another 200 available three days ago. And I'm certainly not going to turn that down :lol: Check it out yourself at http://xxx! Have fun experimenting (responsibly)! :rolleyes:

    Weed Eggs

    space cake is the most powerful method for you? :o My experiences with space cake weren't that exciting to be honest... I've done weed eggs with great sucess tho. And also weed pesto sauce(!), which I can really recommend. With a small amount of pasta, or on some bread ^^ Yumm! Space cake...

    good friends become.. annoying?

    Actually it is negative reinforcement that works better as long as the negative stimulus is present, or still a threat. The person most likely falls back into their old behaviour as soon as the negative stimulus disappears (think of psychopaths going to prison). Plus it shows (temporary) results...

    How much to eat?

    What shamanita said, although I prefer using 1.5grams, a bit more or less depending on your strain of weed. 7.5grams per person is a LOT :rolleyes: . May I ask what you experienced?

    New Book: The Grand Illusion

    Being a student of psychology, this was a truly amazing read! I read through it in almost one go, just stopping to eat and sleep, haha. You certainly blew my mind, especially with the 'World In Your Head'-theory. I've been carrying similar ideas, but as soon as I realized what exactly you are...

    Memorable Hallucinations

    Well, I've had a lot of hallucinations on mushrooms and lsd, but one of my most memorable was actually on marijuana. It was late at night, and I decided to smoke my last bit of silver haze. I then laid down on my bed covered beneath my blanket so it was completely pitch dark. Then all of a...

    Caffeine - What's it like for you?

    I rarely drink coffee, for the same reason as IJC; if I drink more than half a cup of coffee in the morning, I feel tense for the rest of the day, and I really dislike that feeling. So I try to avoid coffee as much as I can, and only drink it when I need to be awake but am not at home. As for...

    Patient E.P.

    Cures will be found anyway... did you even read what I said? Research will be done ANYWAY, imo, either by accident or on purpose, whether you get paid for it or not. One nice example is the use of psilocybine for treating cluster headaches: major important discovery that would've been made...

    Thanks for clearing this up. I've been wondering for a while what all this economic crisis is about, as I haven't experienced a 'depression' AT ALL, quite the opposite to be honest, but i never really understood the mechanics behind it. Reading flyers, saying "Not one business/company hasn't...

    Pot may protect brain from booze

    these studies are mostly done to 'explore' the area, not to make some big point about specific positive effects. In that sense they showed the 'bigger scientific public' that there is (scientific) reason to believe that cannabis can have a positive effect on *whatever*. You cannot expect...

    Here's the complete journal article for who is interested. They controlled for the amount of binge drinking :D And although the sample size is a bit low, it's not dramatic. (approx. 15% margin of error).

    we don't exist????

    Yes, I've heard about it, and it's amazing! Yet, do you believe your knowledge defines 'you', your memory of your life, memory of acquired skills? Because I don't. But maybe this is only my perception of things. If I'd suddenly forget something important as my name, there wouldn't be any less of...

    we don't exist????

    A warm welcome to you, Isaac! You just took the words straight from my mouth.

    Arkansas cop tasers ten yr. old girl

    It isn't about which one is a more terrible act of crime anyway. They're both nauseating! What IS important is that the cop didn't even get punished ONE BIT for tasing(!) the girl.. Note the following quote from the initial article: "While chief Noggle initially said Bradshaw would not face...

    Yes I recognize this aswell.

There was this immense feeling of...

    Thought i'd mention it. In this topic (http://psychonaut.com/post-35339.html?f=39&start=15) there is a problem with displaying attached pictures, covering part of the forum lay-out. I guess the problem will appear in other threads as well.. peace! Mescaline

    Simple question

    Well, that's true if you interpret being ignorant the same as being stupid (or any other mental shortcoming preventing a person from 'knowing'). But in its true sense being ignorant is being in a state of 'not knowing', and being stupid or having never had the chance to 'know' both lead to...

    Hypocrisy: Ponder this for a while...

    I totally agree. I don't smoke tobacco either, but one thing i noticed was that friends, who did buy the american spirit cigarettes got pretty annoyed, because the tobacco doesn't burn that good.. at all (go figure hehe..). I don't know about the rolling-tobacco variant though.. Maybe it's...

    Human space/time migration and the new frontier ?

    I agree that string theory is just a bunch of bogus but you should not forget that it's just a theory.. Science tries to most accurately describe events in reality.

    Alcohol+XTC better than Cannabis+XTC

    well I wasn't specifically looking for the interactions of those compounds. I was looking for the official reports that the newsarticle based it's conclusion on (xtc+alcohol 'better'/healthier than xtc+cannabis), which btw is total nonsense. If I would be that journalist my conclusion, only...

    Cannabis or Hashish??

    It all depends on the methode of intake :) When I used to smoke joints with tobacco I always used weed, mostly because you need less weed than hash to make a joint of the same size :roll: .. so when I had enough hash, I'd choose a strong hash joint over weed anytime. Now I use a vaporizer...

    Insight into non-being from enthogens - stuns me!

    My mother and me always used to have this ongoing debate whether pychedelics were bad/cheats (and thus not to be used because you won't 'get there' in the end) or just another 'path'. So my mom, who only practiced meditation, but was kind of curious about psychedelics, though still afraid of...

    The Salvia Disconnection

    Although not exactly the same, I've read about something similar in my psychology text-books. For most people it feels as if one first has a thought (for example 'I'm thirsty') and then executes the appropriate action (pick up a glass of water). But after doing some research it has to be...
