Above The Influence of Ignorance

Above The Influence of Ignorance

To Dab Or Not To Dab? With each passing month, the popularity – and controversy – of butane hash oil (BHO) and the phenomenon surrounding it (known as “dabbing”) continues to grow in the cannabis community. Some hail it as a miracle medicine, a quantum leap forward in stoner evolution. Others criticize it, pointing to the potential dangers involved in both making and ingesting it, as well as possible negative effects on the public’s increasingly favorable attitude toward marijuana. Here at HIGH TIMES, it’s our duty to cover this issue as honestly and responsibly as we can – addressing any genuine concerns and dispelling unwarranted fears. Solvent vs Nonsolvent Extraction The first question to be addressed is: What’s the difference between solvent extracts and traditional hash? “You’re getting a lot of extra goodies that come out in those solvent extracts,” observes Bob Melamede, Ph.D. But there are those who disagree – such as Selecta Nikka T, owner and operator of Colorado’s Essential Extracts.

Stop the federal pot raids A months-long crackdown on medical marijuana by federal prosecutors has reached new heights with this week's raids on Oakland dispensaries. It's time to call off the overboard tactics and deal sensibly with regulating a drug that increasing numbers of Americans feel poses little harm. The latest incident only furthers the tone-deaf image of the U.S. It's a ridiculous stance that mocks a serious issue. But Prohibition Era-style sweeps won't work. Second, easing the availability of medical marijuana also has lowered the public's fear factor of the drug. Finally, the federal raids ignore the core of the issue: bridging the gap between unbending federal controls and growing numbers of states, including California, that want updated consideration of the drug. To be sure, court rulings and legal obstacles make change difficult. Yet this confusion doesn't excuse this week's raids.

Cannabis (drug) Cannabis is often consumed for its psychoactive and physiological effects, which can include heightened mood or euphoria, relaxation,[10] and an increase in appetite.[11] Unwanted side-effects can sometimes include a decrease in short-term memory, dry mouth, impaired motor skills, reddening of the eyes,[10] and feelings of paranoia or anxiety.[12] Effects Main short-term physical effects of cannabis A 2013 literature review said that exposure to marijuana had biologically-based physical, mental, behavioral and social health consequences and was "associated with diseases of the liver (particularly with co-existing hepatitis C), lungs, heart, and vasculature".[21] The medicinal value of cannabis is disputed. Neurological Gateway drug Another gateway hypothesis covers that a gateway effect may be caused by the "common factors" involved in using any illegal drug. Safety Varieties and strains Types of cannabis Cannabis indica may have a CBD:THC ratio four to five times that of Cannabis sativa. Kief

Closed Eye Visuals Who will be controlling the 30,000 Drones that Taxpayers pay for? The end to privacy as we know it! ~ Liberty Bell Press Is this a mosquito? No. It represents an insect spy drone. These machines are already in production, funded by the US Government. They can be remotely controlled and equipped with a camera and a microphone. They may be able to land on you, and may have the potential to take a DNA sample or leave RFID tracking nanotechnology on your skin. How do they tell wrong from right? So my question is who controls these drones? Why do drones come weapon ready if they are for public use? If an attack by Al Qaeda is imminent why are we arming them openly to fight in Syria?

ThatHigh.com - Puff or Pass? Five games that make you think about life Do you ever get that feeling, when playing games, that you really should be doing something more edifying with your life. I do, usually at about three in the morning after a marathon session of slaughtering undead in Sacred 2. It is a sad fact that most the computer games I play are about as intellectually stimulating as a fart. But, thankfully, not all. Here, I present five games I've found that force you to think a little - in some cases even get a bit philosophical. 1Passage It is very rare - nay, impossible - for a game to reduce me to tears. Passage can be played on Mac OSX, Windows and Linux and can be downloaded here. 2The Majesty of Colors "Last night I had a dream". The Majesty of Colors is a game that can be played multiple times - the decisions you make during the game determine between the many different endings. 3The Game The Game starts by telling us that there are no rules, just play. Trust me, The Game will change your perception of what games are about. 4Gray Super Karoshi
