aint about that farhad, it's about creating a developmentally disabled induvidual...the mind needs formative time, prior to psychoactive drugs....this is bullshit....

While I won't defend Big Pharma (heavy lobbying and excessive advertising), it's not much of a secret that we don't know exactly how psychoactive drugs work, any more than we fully understand how the brain does.

This is just all kinds of awesome.

Shpongle (IPA: ˈʃpɒŋ.gl̩) is considered to be one of the most important and influential psychedelic downtempo or Psybient music projects of recent years. The members are Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram (one third of The Infinity Project). Their sound is a mix mainly consisting of sampled eastern ethnic instruments and western contemporary synthesizer-based psychedelic music. Posford is responsible for the synth and studio work while Raja Ram contributes with flute arrangements. They are both responsible for the visionary input. According to one interview, they commonly visualize the music together before they create it, and during the creation process.

Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), also known as N,N-dimethyltryptamine, is a powerful psychoactive substance. If DMT is smoked, injected, or orally ingested with an MAOI, it can produce powerful entheogenic experiences including true hallucinations (perceived extensions of reality). This is the come down...

....you'd get no-where with that test, and that guy already had a large amount of THC in hid blood, even before dem fatty....the best way to have conducted it was the way they did it...yardies' levels were closer then, to what it is constantly....take a non-smoker, give him the joint, yer test results are again, skewed, in the opposite direction..... no consistant results, because its psychoactive effects are varried from subject to subject like LSD, which is why they make up stories about what it does to folks....

\\Bottom line:-Legalizing it will take the $$$ out of the hands of a lucrative, government-controlled, business-We have working models of legalized herb in the Netherlads, and all we here on the news here is how its legal there, followed up by a sex shop pan shot, in the background, the same associations made with drugs and crime, that they spun in the post-prohibition 1930's in America.....

....all this typin's killed my buzz.....

I'll take Option C: tolerate you through the use of psychoactive drugs...(joke - just the tolerate part that is!) Anyway: welcome back Darksun - I wondered where you'd disappeared to.

from wiki:
The psychoactive drug cannabis, also called marijuana or hashish, is produced from parts of the cannabis plant, primarily the cured flowers and gathered trichomes of the female plant. The major active chemical compound Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly referred to as THC, has psychoactive and medicinal effects when consumed, usually by smoking or ingestion. Humans have consumed cannabis for thousands of years; in the 20th century there was a rise in the use of cannabis for recreational and religious purposes.

As my 'alternative-reality-portal' is currently in the shop, perhaps you could tell me what it means if drugs were legalized.

Also, I'm not sure where you got your information but LSD is arguably the safest illicit drug. While most drugs are measured in grams or milligrams, the average dosage of LSD is measured in micrograms and the LSD molecule is the smallest of known psychoactive chemicals. This is why LSD can be distributed on blotter paper and why I would argue the relative safety point. Even if the paper is infused with some other, more dangerous drug, it could occur in amounts no larger than a couple hundred micrograms -- far below the amount required to trigger even a threshold effect.

On the other hand, a typical LSD dose is 50 - 150 ug and the LD50 of LSD (the amount at which 50% of test animals died as a result of ingestion) is 12,000 ug (reference: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_dose.shtml) Inferring from that one can assume that taking 80 to 240 average units of acid will lead to a 50% chance of death. While there are not yet any documented cases of LSD poisoning, an overdose is within the realm of possibility provided sufficient brazen ignorance or sheer stupidity -- of which both circumstances, I should add, have an LD50 much higher than that of LSD.

I read this, which I didn't know before, as it pertains to.. um.. oregano.

"But remember that when cooked and injested, after the chemical passes through the liver it changes from delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol to delta-11-tetrahydrocannabinol. It has profoundly different effects. Roughly five-times as psychoactive and much longer lasting."
