    [Offtopic] moving to england

    Alcohol is 18 here. Communities are organised like everywhere else - there will be closed groups of friends and various scenes, especially in cities. I live in Scotland, not too far away. London is such a big city, I have been there plenty - there are good parts and bad. Prices are like...

    The Psychedelic Community and Cultural Taboos

    I question why you ask about the thread when I stated I was asking about private messages I received. This is not meant as an insult, just an observation. I do appreciate your contribution. For what it is worth, those questions were asked afterwards, it was more a parody of the messages I...

    Is the LHC sabotaging itself from the future?

    I am sorry... what about the hadron collider? I think this may need a thread of its own.

    Amtrak Police Dogs

    As you said - the Dogs tend to specialize and be trained to sniff out 1 substance. Those do not appear to have been drug dogs.

    Police who tested positive to drugs reassigned, not charged

    Spice - good to know they can break the law to catch people. I wonder if that applies to other types of crimes. If they were investigating assassins, would they get to kill people?

    The context is not the threads the discussion took place in but the personal messages I received afterwards. I was not offended by anything you said. I think one of the things I have noticed from here and there is that people here tend to discuss things with members of their family and I...

    Acid in the mail?

    I may or may not work for the postal service and may or may not lick all stamps just in case. I cannot advise placing it outside the envelope.

    Czech govt defines rules of hallucinogenic plants growing

    Just Governments. Governments in the modern world are now filled with full time politicians with no other job or source of income. That means they need to keep themselves busy. They do this by interfering in places they do not need to and passing legislation that creates crimes with no...

    Survival of the Kindest

    So God punished them by creating racism and turning them to salt (or is that a different part of the bible) so that never again would humans be able to get along well enough to build something so tall that it us an affront to heaven. The bible is not survival of the kindest.

    Survival of the Kindest

    I agree. Look at hippos that let birds clean them, or even better (since hippos don't tend to eat meat) look at the carnivorous fish that will avoid eating smaller fish that they know will groom them. This is not opposed to Darwin, it is exactly what he said. Someone wasn't paying attention...

    The Russians didn't claim this. A retired American officer did. It lead to millions in funding to develop his ideas. He tries not to talk about the funding he receives, he prefers to tell people his research was stifled, which might give you an insight into how he operates. He also does...

    What are the 5 drugs you dislike most

    Caffeine! Ah. I calculated how much caffeine I actually drink (in coffees, various types) and I average somewhere between 1 and 2 grams of caffeine. That's a fair few coffees. I tried giving it up once. *Shudder*. That said, it does not make my list. I'm too dependant now! Coke, Heroin, Meth...

    Arkansas cop tasers ten yr. old girl

    I've known crack heads that aren't so jumpy as to feel threatened by a 10 year old girl! Paraphrasing something I heard - The type of people who would choose to join the police force in its current state are the very people who should be prevented from joining.

    We are, people who take psychedelic substances. This forum is an example. I cannot tell you about every single person as I do not know them all, obviously. As to WHAT it is, well, in this case it is a mostly arbitrary collection of people with a similar interest who may never even be made...

    Non-local consciousness - a mid-sized questionnaire.

    Experience separates us. Here people say "we are the same" in other threads the same people say "you have to experience it for yourself". Pick one. If you really have to experience it for yourself, what separates us is our experiences.

    Awesome. As for who, I guess I count most of those people. I don't really have a solid definition.

    I think my other replies above agree with you already? Both in that some things need to be experienced and that you cannot force people to learn.

    I continued on your note, I felt it was unfair, if you think mine was also I mirror you exactly. I do not deny that the current system is a bastardised mess. I deny that they should stop because of it.

    You are an idealist. That is a good thing. We need a moral compass, we need to live with and not against each other and our surroundings, not because it is fun to dance in the streets shouting "peace and love" like a cartoon hippy but for real world reasons. It is with a peaceful and calm mind...

    Lots of mixing words around there. Sure, things can be hidden in plain sight but that does not speak at all to hiding knowledge. The phrase may say that things are hiding in plain sight, reality is that things LURK there. That phrase is generally not used to mean that something has actually...

    Why are YOU here?

    If I know that, I think I would already be more than half way there. As for making my own reason, that is really what I meant. I don't expect a reason to be handed down to me from on high. I expect it to be something I decide.

    Might also wanted to listen to his recordings - I think deoxy (spelling?) has them all - there are links at the bottom of his wikipedia entry. There is something in his voice that isn't in his writing. Try not to get too carried away, it is interesting, definitely worth reading/listening to...

    I'm not so sure. You do not choose to be born and if you do you do not remember. Responsible parents do choose to have kids and that means it is possible to know why they did it.

    I think an added part to the increase in potency: The government in my country have been paying for adverts suggesting this. They also talk like because it is more potent, it is a different chemical completely, and even small doses will effect you differently. No. 1 gram of plant material with...

    I'm not sure I feel happy with the label "enabler". Haha. It has negative cultural connotations that you are the reason someone is able to do something they shouldn't be doing. That is what I am hoping for. I do not wish to enable learning in the way that a teacher would - I cannot, I have...

    I think I mostly understand the answer to this in terms of what I think it is not. I don't think it is a traditional God.

    Strange, 2 people have said that. I didn't write the questions in order. Some of them, I've heard one person say that non-local consciousness detects us all. When I wrote the question to see if it was a wide-held view, it occurred to me that if a connection was real, it would be possible to...

    Yes, but I would not take away their right to be wilfully ignorant. That could do some people a lot of mental damage! By the same token, if a school kid asked about Pythagoras and a teacher replied that it wasn't something his kind ought to know, I'd be outraged. I think ignorance for those...

    True, but if you actually read the book - just searching Google for the author + title comes up with a torrent for it on the first page, you'd understand that to argue with it would be... well, 100's of pages long. No one wants to read a 100 page forum post. I really can't imagine being able to...

    I have to admit that is why I put the thread here, that is my general impression. He also shouts down people who asks him questions which is a sure sign he has no real answers but I could not look myself in the face if I did not at least get some external feedback on the topic. Thanks.

    Hey, bet you don't remember me! I'm struggling to have conversations on some topics as people just refuse to explain what any given word or term means. Not in general and certainly not to them personally. This is a problem in arenas such as this when the definitions are so personal but the...

    Tobacco- the underestimated Drug

    I do occasionally. I find it relaxing. A lot of people would say some of the other things I consume are more dangerous, although, to be fair - cigarettes and alcohol are the worst, the other drugs just don't have as good PR. It is relaxing. I find it hard to relax for various reasons. It's...

    Just like when you say "don't bother" it means that you want people to chime in but to a natural English speaker it is almost quite a rude way of saying DO NOT give input, people have different meanings of the words "meaning" and "meaningful".
