Re:Terrence McKenna talked about the "Stoned Ape"
hypothesis, in which proto-humans regularly ingested psychedelic plants or fungi, and it led to the rapid development of the higher mental functions found in humans.
http://www.lycaeum.org/~sputnik/McKenna/Evolution/
But of course he was a huge crackpot who ranted on and on about his visions and pseudoscience. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of psychedelics enhancing creativity and providing lasting effects, including deep spiritual insight, but McKenna was a nut. An eloquent, willing, and prolific nut, but a nut nonetheless, no matter how much untapped potential LSD or DMT might hold.

Re:One More Bush Era Screw Up
Does the EPA really control wild boards running through spinach fields? Or indeed have ANYTHING to do with that situation?
The EPA is a rubber stamp for the Oil Industry, just as the FDA is a rubber stamp for Big Pharma.
The EPA just whitewashes their mistakes, or they run and hide just like that asshat who quickly "retired" when the oil rig blew up in the gulf.
Whats up wit dat?
The marketing of prescription drugs and their disclaimer caveats show that the whole system is out of control. Substances like marijuana and coca leaves have a history of thousands of years with little or no detrimental side-effects. Poppies are still being grown for morphine. The illicit manufacturing of drugs is in the eye of the beholder, namely the US government. And we all know their proverbial batting average. A majority of the illegal drugs on the DEA hit parade alter perceptions, perceptions that the US government doesn't want altered.
One perception that comes to my mind is: Who the fuck put you in charge of trashing the American dream or the American landscape?
They say one bad apple spoils the bushel. Well Washington seems to be an orchard in need of a severe pruning.

Re:Do they have any of his old DNA
HAHAHAHAHAHAA
Nope, drug labs were created in 1990. There were no illegal drugs before that. Well, except:
- Opium
- Morphine
- Heroin
- Cocaine
- Crack cocaine (popularized in the 1980's)
- Marijuana (sorting and processing counts as a lab),
- Methamphetamine (invented 1893, popularized in the 1960's)
- Crystal methamphetamine (invented 1919)
- Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA/Adam/Ecstasy/X) (invented 1912, popularized in the 1970's and 1980's),
- and we can't forget the all time favorite Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) (invented 1938, popularized in the 1960's)
Sorry, it's not an all inclusive list, it's just a sampling of
.... well .... popular non-pharmaceutical drugs. Some were pharmaceuticals, but most that you'll find on the street aren't commercially produced.You can find more information at Erowid and Lycaeum
The Chernobyl accident happened April 25th, 1986. Since I'm guessing you weren't alive yet, or old enough to remember, there was a bit of a pesky problem of nuclear fallout that spread quite a bit.
Drugs a bit tainted by radioactive fallout could still be sold for a profit. Who are you going to complain to. It's just like if you buy an 8 ball of coke, but it turns out to be baby powder. It's not like you can just call the cops and say "I paid for coke, but he gave me baby powder!" Drugs destroyed because they may be radioactive are lost money. Drug manufacturers and dealers are just like any big business. They want to make a profit. They aren't going to throw away perfectly good product, if they can sell it.

Re:I wouldn't hold my breath
To state that a single dose is 'usually all it takes to become an addict' is both factually incorrect and at worse simply disingenuous.
Would it be more accurate to say of coke, meth, and heroin that a single does is 'usually all it takes to die?' Unlike pot, LSD, mushrooms, etc. those schedule 1 drugs can kill an experimenter on first use. It's pretty obvious that any legalization of drugs will not begin with an across the board policy. William F. Buckley was pro-legalization. The republicans' "tough-on-drugs" party stance has always illustrated that party losing its way with conservatism.

Re:Consider the potential abuses
I've done 48 different recreational drugs over the years, including injecting all of the usual suspects, plus a few more. I can't seem to get addicted to anything, but I have befriended a number of addicts over the years, so I know a lot about IV drug user's habits: After running out of obvious veins people start going for the backs of their legs, genitalia, the big abdominal one, then the neck. I have a feeling that once your jugular vein is dead, so are you. Heroin addicts have the option of rectal administration, and coke heads can always smoke it instead of injecting it. I've never known anyone to purposely IM cocaine, that would be begging for an abscess. You can get away with some IM injection of opiates and opioid, so I suspect some users do. It is easy to do accidentally though since it numbs the area completely, also frequent users can suffer from "leaky veins," so feeling it around the injection site is normal for them.
If you're intersted in amphetamines, meth isn't really that bad, it's more how you take it then anything. It is the same in effect as d-amphetamine (Dexedrine), other then the duration which is about four hours for d-amphetamine and eight hours for methamphetamine. Dexedrine is the most euphoric of the commonly prescribed CNS stimulants, with the least side effects at recreational doses. Adderall is 75% d-amphetamine and 25% l-amphetamine, the l-amphetamine can result in an uncomfortable body load. Ritalin is less fun, Modafinil even more so. An interesting thing about amphetamines is that the dose varies widely: For one girl I knew 0.5mg was the most she could take without side effects. I can take 5mg and feel euphoria, the most I generally take is 30mg or I can't control my impulsively. However, many I know can take 100mg+ and only feel as if they have drank a cup or two of coffee. Ideally, you should start with Dexedrine (or Methedrine if you can get it), orally, and at about 2.5mg.

PanspermiaWe won't merely be discovered if aliens exist - we'll be colonized.
If it weren't for the DNA raining down on us, we'd still be a "dead" planet. We have already been 'colonized'. See the wikpd entry for Panspermia.
The existence of amino acids in interstellar space has already been established. See the article.
"Indeed," noted Dr. Scott Sandford of Ames, "these findings are particularly intriguing because the amino acids found in meteorites do show some signatures that suggest an interstellar connection. This connection, combined with our finding that amino acids can be made in interstellar clouds suggests that the Earth may have been seeded with amino acids from space in its earliest days."
"The infall of these materials on the early Earth may have facilitated the origin of life on our planet," said Dr. Jason Dworkin of the SETI Institute and Ames. "Furthermore, since new stars and planets are formed within the same clouds in which new amino acids are being created, this probably increases the odds that life has evolved elsewhere."
Also note Terence McKenna's theory of the "magic mushrooms from outer space" that colonized Earth. See this article. The relevant quote:
HT: From your writings I have gleaned that you subscribe to the notion that psilocybin mushrooms are a species of high intelligence -- that they arrived on this planet as spores that migrated through outer space, and are attempting to establish a symbiotic relationship with human beings. In a more holistic perspective, how do you see this notion fitting into the context of Francis Crick's theory of directed panspermia, the hypothesis that all life on this planet and its directed evolution has been seeded, or perhaps fertilized, by spores designed by a higher intelligence?
My point is merely that the universe is an open system and we may have already been "colonized", not once but several times. What would be a more logical way of colonizing the galaxy than to seed it with items that self-assemble into 'life' under the correct conditions? We simply don't recognize the fact with our tiny monkey brains yet -- we are still stuck in the 'projection of uniqueness' -- (i.e the theory that such a wonderful thing as the emergence of self-aware consciousness can only happen once) -- state. Little do we know.TM: As I understand the Crick theory of panspermia, it's a theory of how life spread through the universe...
Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine.

Re:Where is the reactor?
Well every year thousands of smokers are killed by cancer after ingesting polonium-210 (and lead-210). Of course this isn't talked about too much as there are vested interests in selling tobacco.

Re:The Netherlands
Well, depends which drugs that this "war on drugs" is aimed at, no?
No, it doesn't. A person's right to control their own body is absolute.
If you want to use drugs in a dangerous way, like injecting heroin into your eyeballs, it's just and reasonable for the state to dissuade you with (accurate) anti-drug education, to put a reasonable "sin tax" on heroin, to regulate heroin for purity and strength, and to ban you from driving under its influence.
But the sovereignty of the state ends at your skin. Your body, your choice.
Not only is drug probibition immoral, it's also impractical. It doesn't work. Review the history.

Re:You've never done opium, before, obviously.
1. Opiates constipate you (Immodium AD, loperamide, is an opiate)
This is minor and managable in most cases.
2. Smoking opium is harsher on the lungs than marijuana.
Probably true, but opiates can be taken orally and parenterally.
3. Opium is far, FAR more addictive than alcohol (witness China and Turkey with their opium wars way back in history)
Probably so. But is addiction in itself a health problem? I am quite addicted to caffeine, and I feel rather healthy. One of the founders of Johns Hopkins was a morphine addict for years, had a distinguished career as a surgen, and no one knew until after his death. I don't see how his health or mine are adversely affected by our addictions.
4. Once hooked to strong opiates, the general recourse to getting off of them is an even worse medication (methadone) as opposed to counseling and Antabuse prescriptions for alcohol addiction.
Methadone isn't the only treatment option available. Besides success rates for quitting alcohol and opiates and really all addictions are pretty much the same. Even for non-drug addictions.
5. Opium can and will kill you, or get you killed.
When used in clean, appropriate doses, opium and opiates will not kill you.
6. Opium screws with your system more than alcohol.
It really doesn't. The outlook for someone hooked on long term pain killers is very good. Very occasionally they might have some minor kidney problems but that's about it. Opiates affect your opioid receptors and not much else. Alcohol however is a "dirty drug" that affects many things in your system, especially your liver. Toxicologically, there's no question that opiates are far safer than alcohol.
Here's an interesting discussion, with references on the topic. -

Re:Good...You just described the "gateway effect" (the quote being, "pot is a gateway drug"). Someone's signature turns it on its head very nicely: "religion is a gateway psychosis."
Alternately, you could say that mother's milk (or oxygen!) is a gateway drug, because 99% of all pot-heads have consumed mother's milk at some time in their past.
As to narcotics like cocaine, nicotine is both more addictive and has a higher death rate (33%) than cocaine. So if we want to be honest about it, we'd outlaw nicotine as well.
As to why pot's still illegal, in a separate response I mentioned that racism played a huge part in getting the drug laws passed, and that is also why we probably won't see them repealed in our lifetimes.

Re:Marijuana is indeed addictive.
When did you provide links to the information you were presenting?
You had stated the marijuana user mantra, that has been repeated often in 'High Times' and by many of the marijuana user's that I have interacted with throughout the years. It doesn't matter if you read that publication or not, I have read and had those statements recounted to me from that publication and have heard that gospel preached by many users of marijuana.
Heck, I used to believe that same thing myself!
Here's some links... The first one gives me reason to question whether or not Marijuana should be made legal...
Link One
Here's a High Times piece that ignores much of the additional scientific information in the previous link, in order to 'justify' the legalization movement. Perhaps the writer suffered from memory loss revolving around the rest of the scientific information that was available at the time the discovery of the brain receptor he wrote about...
The following quote comes directly from the above listed 'High Times' article...
This latest research confirms and explains Hollister's 1986 conclusion about cannabis and addiction: "Physical dependence is rarely encountered in the usual patterns, despite some degree of tolerance that may develop."
It says 'rarely encountered in the usual patterns' that doesn't mean that physical dependence is rarely encountered, just that the usual patterns, like the intense almost crazy cravings for the drug aren't usual. Even 'High Times' agrees with me that Marijuana is physically addictive!
You really don't have to like the facts, just understand the facts exist. I am still for the legalization of marijuana, but you won't ever see me using it. That's just not something that is part of my life, for many reasons.
I am not preaching and saying that anyone shouldn't use marijuana or any particular drug, I am just pointing out the fact that it is indeed addictive. I also qualify that by stating that it is well known that the withdrawal symptoms are quite minimal, in comparison to a great many other drugs and that many current and past users of marijuana simply don't believe they are or were ever addicted, because withdrawal is so minor. -

LSD for programmers
The best book I've read about LSD was one of the first published: John C. Lilly's Programming and Metaprogramming in the Human Biocomputer. Lilly invented the isolation tank (known from the amusing, but fictional, Frankenstein movie _Altered States_), and wrote Meta/Programming while one of the USA's foremost clinical psychoanalysts, a study for the NIMH just prior to the political outlawing of legitimate LSD research. In it, Lilly totally nails LSD's role as noise in the neurotransmission system, incidentally offering seminal insight into the nascent field of cybernetics (when the most advanced computers were dumber than your watch). And it's a really short book, without all the fancy indulgence in sensory hallucinations and utopian speculation so common in the field.
Try reading it - you might learn more not only about your self, but about your computer, and how similar you might one day become. -
Re:UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE THAT MUCH CAFFEINE!
You can't just jump to 13 pills just like that, you need to build up a tolerance, first.
As an asthmatic, I was on 3300mg of theophylline at one point (the secondary stimulant in tea, with Caffeine being the primary, and Theobromine the teritary, but that one is much weaker and more common in other products like Cocoa) and was going to need more when the doctor changed me over to the newfangled inhaled steroids (this is over 15 years ago, when inhaled steroids were only starting to get covered by HMOs). I've found several references since that don't recommend ever going over 500mg Theophylline, so I suspect if you have a good liver, good bladder, and a really long time to build immunity, it's would be possible - assuming 100mg caffeine/cup, that means a tolerance of 10000mg. If you go weak, 80mg caffeine/cup puts you at 8000mg, strong at about 17500.
One problem with caffeine pills, though, is that they're not diluted or mixed with food, which can have an adverse affect on your stomach. I've easily had 20-30 cups of coffee in a day a few times (sometimes in just a few hours), but never could have more than about 10 shots of espresso in that time. Espresso only has about 100mg of caffeine (about a cup of coffee), but because it's concentrated, it has a more powerful affect. -

Re:LSD
The medical stuff you've read? Give me a break. This is a total load of urban legend crap. There is no reason to cut acid with rat poison or "cheaper hallucinogens." It's generally dried on blotter paper so there's really no point in "diluting" it for any reason. When sold in liquid form, it's often diluted with liquor. It's so incredibly potent (as in, 25 MILLIONTHS of a gram will cause baseline effects) that cutting it with fucking POISON or other hallucinogens would be EXPENSIVE, POINTLESS, AND STUPID.
Cutting agents don't cause bad trips. Adverse reactions to LSD cause bad trips. This could mean taking LSD on accident without knowing it, taking LSD in a bad setting, taking LSD in a bad state of mind, etc.
This is not to say that acid has never once been cut with strychnine. It has happened to be sure, but only because morons hear this urban legend and then do it themselves for some idiotic reason. In all reality there is no fucking reason to go out and buy rat poison in order to some how dilute a drug that is by weight the most powerful mind altering substance on earth and I'm utterly sick of this crap being propogated to this day as fact.

Countryman and Homegrown
Countryman
http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/6074/mov cm.htm
Countryman is about a rastafarian super-hero, of sorts, named Countryman. From holywood.com, "A peaceful Rastafarian fisherman becomes an unwitting player in an international political scheme when an airplane crashes into a nearby swamp. Later, when violence breaks loose, he displays an almost magical ability in hand-to-hand combat." With a soundtrack featuring Bob Marley and many other big names in reggae, Countryman is THE all time classic reggae movie. Unfortunately it's difficult to find.
Homegrown
This review from http://www.lycaeum.org/books/reviews/review.22710. 1422863305.shtml pretty much sums it up
"Homegrown is set in the lush "green triangle" of northern California, where the scenery is breathtakingly gorgeous, the dope is potent and profitable, and everyone - everyone - is in on the business. The film revolves around three growers: Jack, the overseer (Billy Bob Thornton, the guy behind Sling Blade), Carter, the botanical whiz (Hank Azaria, best known (to me, at least) from the Simpsons), and Harlan, the aspiring kid in it for the free samples as much as the money (Ryan Phillippe). They are camping out, attending their crop, when their boss Malcolm (John Lithgow in a wonderful cameo) shows up in a helicopter for a surprise inspection only to be shot by the pilot. The trio are left with a body, a lot of pot, and a possible murder rap. The plot evolves wonderfully as they sort out Malcolm's business and family connections and try to cash in on 1500 pounds of killer weed. Along the way, they meet a variety of wonderful characters: Lucy (Kelly Lynch), revolving girlfriend and manicurist (and I'm not talking about nail polish, either), Danny (Jon Bon Jovi), the super-smooth buyer, Sierra (Jamie Lee Curtis), the matriarch of the farming community, and Judge Reinhold as a decent, upstanding crooked cop who is smart enough to recognize pot as the fountainhead of prosperity in his community."
These guys aren't the biggest names in movies, but they are all big names. With a lineup like this, I'm suprised this movie wasn't more popular. I guess it was stigmatized by being about growing weed. -
