List of urban legends about illegal drugs LSD[edit] Some of the strangest urban legends told are those about lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), a potent psychedelic drug that gained popularity in several countries in the 1960s and 1970s, and experienced a brief resurgence in the mid to late 1990s before declining from 2000 onward. The drug's relation to the 1960s counterculture was likely part of the reason for such legends. Attempted murder[edit] "Anyone caught selling LSD can be charged with attempted murder." Babysitter places baby in the oven while high on LSD[edit] This is an unverifiable drug-scare story dating to the 60s of a hippie babysitter girl putting a baby in the oven and a turkey in the bassinet. Bad LSD[edit] A "bad trip" is easily caused by an expectation or fear of ill effects, which may later be blamed on "bad acid." However, drugs described as LSD in the 1970s occasionally actually contained PCP, amphetamine, or other drugs that have quite different effects from LSD.

Psychopomp In Jungian psychology, the psychopomp is a mediator between the unconscious and conscious realms. It is symbolically personified in dreams as a wise man or woman, or sometimes as a helpful animal. In many cultures, the shaman also fulfills the role of the psychopomp. This may include not only accompanying the soul of the dead, but also vice versa: to help at birth, to introduce the newborn child's soul to the world (p. 36 of).[2] This also accounts for the contemporary title of "midwife to the dying", or "End of Life Doula" which is another form of psychopomp work.

The Book of Revelation: III. The Things Which Shall Be Hereafter: 4. The Four Beasts Sacred Texts Christianity Revelation Index Previous Next p. 41 Rev. 4:6-11. The word translated "Beasts" should be translated "LIVING CREATURES," as in the Revised Version. The word here translated "beast" (Zoon), is not the same as the one translated "beast" (Therion) in chapters eleven, thirteen, and seventeen. The "Four Living Creatures" are not in the same class with the "Elders," for they have no "thrones" or "crowns" or "harps" or "golden vials." The first time these "Living Creatures" are mentioned in the Bible is in Gen. 3:24, where they are called "CHERUBIM," but are not described. When Moses was given on the Holy Mount the pattern of the Tabernacle, he was instructed to make the "Ark of the Covenant" with two Cherubim upon it. p. 42 Click to enlargeThe Cherubim p. 43 Ezekiel describes them as having the likeness of a man, with 4 faces, and 4 wings, and feet like a calf's foot, and hands like a man's hand under their wings on their 4 sides.

How Dya Smoke Pot and Stay Out of Jail?"Be cool, be careful, and keep your mouth shut." This one caused quite a stir. (See The Strangers Letters to the Editor: 12/6/01 and 12/13/01.) (2 pages) Agni Agni (Sanskrit: अग्नि) is a Hindu deity, one of the most important of the Vedic gods. He is the god of fire[1] and the acceptor of sacrifices. The sacrifices made to Agni go to the deities because Agni is a messenger[2] from and to the other gods. He is ever-young, because the fire is re-lit every day, and also immortal. Agni, the Vedic god of fire, has two heads, one marks immortality and the other marks an unknown symbol of life. Etymology[edit] The word agni is Sanskrit for "fire" (noun), cognate with Latin ignis (the root of English ignite), Russian огонь (ogon), Polish "ogień", Slovenian "ogenj", Serbo-Croatian oganj, and Lithuanian ugnis—all with the meaning "fire", with the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European root being h₁égni-. Vedas[edit] Agni is the first word of the first hymn of the Rigveda: He is the supreme director of religious ceremonies and duties, and figures as messenger between mortals and gods. The Rigveda often says that Agni arises from water or dwells in the waters.
Qur'an Versions Qur'an Versions I am fully aware that Muslims do not like this term, but they love to use it with a specific meaning regarding the Bible. They point to different translations which sometimes seem to be very different and nearly contradictory to the person who does not know the original language (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek). The page will simply have the function to document some passages in the Qur'an which are translated very different by various (Muslim) translators, oftentimes exhibiting their own theological bias and reading their theories into the text even though the Arabic means something else. This page is only concerned about major translation differences of the more or less identical Arabic text. These two newsgroup postings are an interesting introduction to the topic: [1], and responding to it: [2] (about the translation of Hilali & Khan, regarding the issue of music and the crucifixion) Quran corruption vs. Notes on various translations by Muslims: *
PotBust The Washington State medical marijuana law, codified at RCW 69.51A now over a decade old, remains ill defined and difficult to comply with. This compassionate initiative has not enjoyed the broad reading and liberal interpretation in Washington's courts that it should have. Instead, hostile law enforcement and an ultra conservative judiciary attempted to strangle the law in its infancy with cases like the now questioned Shepherd decision. Many doctors are unwilling to sign for patients and do not want to take any risk that they will be contacted by the DEA or the state medical board, as have many California doctors and some Washington doctors. All of these factors and more make it difficult for patients seeking relief from illnesses treatable with marijuana, or cannabis, as it is called medically. Washington's law is more restrictive than California's law in that it has specific conditions or diseases for which marijuana is approved. This is the general outline of the law.
