Cannabis Effects Chances are they would've ended up brainless morons with or without the pot. It's quite frankly not strong enough of a narcotic to destroy one's life such as you describe. It's very dependent on the user's persona. @Tadashii: Are you also for alcohol and tobacco prohibition? Wow- Tadashii, pot is not meth or cocaine. Yes, its a chemical that can intoxicate and has been embraced by, and been the cause of some lazy folks, underachievers, and Grateful Dead fans not amounting to much. Pot is like anything else- tobacco, alcohol, vicodin, valium, caffeine, etc. Cannabis has great promise for any treatment that requires appetite stimulant (such as cancer, HIV, etc), and has also been found to act as an anti-inflammatory or nausea reliever, Don't just stamp marijuana "evil". Do you enjoy any caffeinated sodas, cigarettes, or the occasional alcoholic beverage? Yes I am against alcohol too and I agree that it's worse than pot.
50 Ways To Leave Your Lager. Help to give up drinking alcohol. TetraBox Light by Ed Chew Liquid to Light Designer Ed Chew takes a green step in the right direction with the TetraBox lamp, a light object made from discarded drink packets that would have otherwise ended up in landfills already packed to the brim. The design is achieved by unfolding the packets and refolding them into hexagonal and pentagonal sections that are then pieced together to form a geodesic sphere or any other desired shape. Here, the Epcot-like ball makes an attractive overhead light and casts an impressive web of shadows and shapes on the surrounding space. Designer: Ed Chew
Synesthesia How someone with synesthesia might perceive (not "see") certain letters and numbers. Synesthetes see characters just as others do (in whichever color actually displayed), yet simultaneously perceive colors as associated to each one. Synesthesia (also spelled synæsthesia or synaesthesia; from the Ancient Greek σύν syn, "together", and αἴσθησις aisthēsis, "sensation") is a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.[1][2][3][4] People who report such experiences are known as synesthetes. Difficulties have been recognized in adequately defining synesthesia:[5][6] many different phenomena have been included in the term synesthesia ("union of the senses"), and in many cases the terminology seems to be inaccurate. Only a fraction of types of synesthesia have been evaluated by scientific research.[11] Awareness of synesthetic perceptions varies from person to person.[12]
Science Says: Lungs Love Weed | TakePart - News, Culture, Videos and Photos That Make the World Better Breathe easy, tokers. Smoking marijuana in moderate amounts may not be so bad for your lungs, after all. A new study, published in this month's Journal of the American Medical Association, tested the lung function of over 5,000 young adults between 18 and 30 to determine marijuana's effect on lungs. After 20 years of testing, researchers found some buzzworthy results: regular marijuana smokers (defined by up to a joint a day for seven years) had no discernable impairment in lung activity from non-smokers. In fact, researchers were surprised to find marijuana smokers performed slightly better than both smokers and non-smokers on the lung performance test. Why? MORE: 5 Reasons Not to Smoke Synthetic Weed For most of human existence, cannabis has been considered a medicine. Attitudes are changing, however. As marijuana enters the mainstream, studies like the one published in JAMA might dispel false assertions about the plant's deleterious health hazards and promote its medicinal benefits.
How to Make "Green Dragon" 13 Drugs Before They Were Famous As a member of a generation of people who were raised being brainwashed by DARE and their ilk, I was pleasantly surprised to find out later in life that not all drugs are evil, and in fact, some are rather fun even though they are illegal. What I didn’t realize was just how legal of a background so many popular drugs had, and often in ways I never would have imagined. 13. Initially marketed under the title Vin Mariani, coca wine was a popular tonic in the 1800s, pretty much the Victorian-era version of Red Bull, promising to pep you up, and keep you going. 12. More than just a Roman camp in Asterix, laudanum — or more properly, tincture of opium — was a wildly popular over the counter medicine. 11. Medical marijuana is something of a cause célèbre at present, galvanizing all sorts of legislation and interest around the USA as people realize just how freaking useful it is for treating a whole raft of issues, not the least of which is all the horrible side effects of chemo. 10. 9.
[ American Nihilist Underground Society (ANUS) :: About ANUS ] Frequently Asked Questions What is the American Nihilist Underground Society? We are a loose-knit collaboration of writers, artists, programmers, sculptors, musicians and philosophers. We share a vision: that by removing human perspective (judgment, values, purposes, morals; what Nietzsche called "knowing") we can see the universe as an abstract design and appreciate the beauty of reality. What is the history of A.N.U.S.? ANUS was started in 1987 by Spinoza Ray Prozak and Chromatic Death, with L.B. After several run-ins with the law and others who found the idea of non-taboo/free speech/free thought disturbing enough to censor it, from both left and right, A.N.U.S. regrouped as we tried to find a way to explain our vision. From 1991 to 1995, A.N.U.S. maintained an internet presence through an FTP archive, overlapping a web server from 1993-1996 that was later supplanted by the anus.com domain name. Why is A.N.U.S. controversial? The truth is never completely pleasant, and therefore is socially unacceptable.
Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster - StumbleUpon Miracle Drug At Cambridge over the summer, many students were taking pills to help their concentration. Ed Cumming was among them ... From INTELLIGENT LIFE Magazine, Autumn 2009 One evening this summer, in our final term at Cambridge, my roommate Katie threw a party. Our set was in a 17th-century attic, and its sloping ceilings framed a gorgeous view: a panorama taking in King’s College Chapel, the billiard-table lawns of the backs and the stately river. In that room you felt the mass of student life that had passed before you: even the doorframe had a musty glamour. I was an ordinary student, but the drug let me feel intermittently extraordinary. Modafinil was never meant for people like me. I jumped at the chance to join them. As one of his customers, having taken modafinil on and off for six weeks leading up to exams, I can say this much: it works. It was not all positive. Although I did it more efficiently, my work didn’t get better. (Ed Cumming is a writer based in London.
