    any programmers/ hackers here??

    From a bit over a decade in the software industry I have this to offer: 1) the language is not important 2) Learn to think in common concepts and to see them in any given problem 3) remember that a programming language is just a tool. There are cases for every language around. Learn conceptual...

    Suicide will work that day for me, sorry nice friends

    I have no solutions. Just remember that when there seems to be nothing to lose you have the option to do anything. Suicide is one option but not really always the best one. It is always one choice and not one for someone else to deny. It is, hwever, the individual's choice and call. As long as...

    Fitna (short movie about Islam)

    Just watched this the other night. I don't see whence all the hoopla against it comes. There's no valuation one way or the other, only a collage of news items and imams preaching. The film has two functions in my opinion. The obvious one is to highlight the existence of the extremist moslems...

    world psychedelic symposium - did anyone attend?

    I was there. Once again an excellent conference. I especially enjoyed Grof's talk about the changes needed in current psychology and psychiatry in order to accommodate and understand the transpersonal and perinatal experiences. Hugely interesting. Overall, the people in the two Basel...

    how to make salvia extract

    quicker results in evaporating the acetone if you can put the tray under a reduced pressure, ie. a vacuum pump.

    Americans prefer not to know about drugs?!

    It's nice to see that the DEA agrees that coffee has dangers. Jouni

    Holding the hits in

    You don't hold your breath for oxygen for more than a passing second or two and the necessary amount gets transferred to your blood. The limiting factor is likely to be the capacity of the blood in the lungs at a given moment to hold the THC. The rate the blood gets replaced in the capillaries...

    A youngster died with Datura Stramonium

    They should have know? From erowid. Always, always know the stuff you try. And even then start with less than nothing of a dose and work up to either a desired state or a state that is unwanted. WHicever comes first. What you know of cannot kill you?

    UK: Drugs and prohibition

    Because the cause for the prohibtion is not health but fear of losing control. People are afraid they will lose control over themselves and fall prey to the drugs. They consciously or subsconsciously think along the lines of "Will I become an addict?" "Will I be able to say no?" "What will...

    The next miracle antidepressant: Ketamine!

    I just have to tip my hat to all the guys at the ivy towers who ban things left and right and then end up being told the substances have any number of unexpected positive uses (in addition to the recreational). It must suck to be them?

    DRUGS: THE REAL DEAL

    The rating is apparently a measure of the substa nce's potential to cause harm to the individual as well as the society. That's why solvents are ranked less harmful than cannabis. The reasoning is that the prevalence of solvent use is so marginal that the harm to society is small compared to...

    Cannabis therapy 'may be harmful'

    Eh? It binds to the cannabinoid receptors? It doesn't get much more specific in terms of targeting? I think he may be trying to talk about the subsequent effects and targeting them. Cannabinoids (as he refers to boosting anadamide) bind to the specific receptors, by definition. Where is he...

    Help with transfer of Liquid to Blotter

    If you want to transfer the acid into the blotter then the blotter has to be completely soaked. Why would you want to put it on a blotter in the first place? Why not a sugar cube just before ingesting? I'd suggest testing one square with one drop. Drop it on the square and let it sink in. It...

    Legal questions about shrooms

    Not sure what the legal situation is. As I understand there's no requirement for searching your trash. But how did they come up with the idea? Definitely someone tipped them off. Without inciting anyone to break the law, I'd offer two things to keep in mind: 1) Never ever talk to anyone. Not a...

    Magic mushrooms could help depression, say scientists

    Yep. It's on my book list waiting for money to buy. There are just too many books to read and films to watch these days. I need to buy some time or find a way to stretch what I have. Jouni

    Magic mushrooms could help depression, say scientists

    I recall hearing Dr. Hoffman speaking about Leary. His bottom line was that the introducton of LSD and psilocybes to the society and general use could have been handled better and with better results. However he didn't claim Leary was either wrong or scien tifically uninformed, just that he got...

    (Unnecessary) concerns about Salvia

    Indeed. But the way "danger" was used in the original article I was looking for a direct danger from the chemical itself, not from the behaviour of the person using it. Anyone ever died from salvinorin OD? Had a toxic reaction? Any internal organ damage? The danger from behaviour is not...

    Magic mushrooms could help depression, say scientists

    I find it interesting that after 40 years they are repeating Pahnke's Good Friday experiment and after equally many years t hey are discovering that psilocybin can be used to treat dependency and mental conditions. Anyone recall the Concordia State Prison experiments of Leary and Metzner? Both...

    The Toxicity of Recreational Drugs

    Doesn't matter if it's applied to bales of hay. 40 pounds is an impossible amount to ingest in the timeframe required to build up a toxic level. Perhaps it's just barely possible to ingest 40 pounds of something in a day but I think doing so accidentally is not as likely as we're lead to...

    Psychedelic drug treatment

    Well, Leary ended up more of a guru than a scientist but that doesn't udo his previous work. Before he got mixed up in his own research he was well respected and had a position at Harvard. Up to that point he had an exemplary career. Too bad the later escapades have masked the earlier Leary.

    Psychedelic drug treatment

    Psilocybe mushrooms and LSD are being used to treat cluster headaches and migraines. MAPS is trying to get a study approved to find out how well these substabces work and if they could be developed into an approved treatment.

    Reid Vows to Get Tough on Drug Users

    Thisa is the kind of wishy washy policy makling that undermines every attempt at creating some sensible solution to the drugs issue. One year there's a step in one direction, the next year all gets reversed. No wonder people don't put much weight on the utterances from the poliiticos. Never...

    salvia becoming illegal

    The known LD-50 is for mice. For dogs and monkeys the experimenters were unable to find an LD-50. It seems reasonable that the same applies for humans though I doubt anyone is going to do the experiment. Also, anyone with 1.5pounds of resin isn't stupid enough to gulp it down in one go. Nobody...

    Lethal Heroin Mix Kills 48 In Detroit

    It's so nice the war on drugs is keeping people safe. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens when the unscrupulous gain control of distribution and manufacture. Jouni

    Legalize it.

    I suppose you'd have to be able to demonstrate cannabis is the only effective relief to your condition. The doctor would then evaluate your case and possibly issue the medical MJ card. Caveat: I have no actual info on this, just common sense thinking. Jouni

    How much dried will I eat?

    I'd just take a 2-3 week break before eating shrooms again. Cheaper and does the same thing, ie. replenish the serotonin etc reserves. Any time you feel the need to do any drug before your body recovers naturally is when you should lay off and play bridge for a month. Seriously. Best way to cure...

    Dangers of Cocaine...?

    Err? based on what study? What is the damage pure MDMA does? Quotes? What is the similar damage pure cocaine does? Quotes? The rest of the post where that came from is fairly acurate as far as I can determine. Until this day I have not seen one scientifically credible article stating MDMA has...

    Proposal would outlaw hallucinogenic salvia

    This is by definition utter horseshit. Schedule 1 is for substances with severe addiction and abuse potential and NO known medical use. A number of outcomes may follow from that statement: If they classify this in Sched 1 and allow research then they have created a precedent for allowing...

    LSD?

    LD50 is not a substance but a shortened form of the expression "Lethal Dose for 50% of the test subjects". It means, how much of some stuff kills half of the test animals. As far as I know LSD has no LD50 that makes any sense for humans, ie. if there is such an amount nobody seems to have...

No info seems to be available on the cause of the falling, ie. perhaps the guy was too drunk and just staggered and fell? Anyway, mushrooms are now illegal in Ireland. One...

    important

    All I want to see is the freedom of informed and sovereign individuals to have the right to partake of any substance they choose without the state usurping the freedom of one's person.
