  1. WTF - MOD PARENT UP !!! on UK Music Industry Stomps on Imported CD Seller · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If I understand what phaze3000 is saying, why the hell should people feel that downloading music for free is wrong when the legal system allows a large institution like BPI/**AA to *force* (read "bully") legit cd retailers into anti-competitive price rises. Anyone agree ?

I've some screenshots up at http://www.savoy.f9.co.uk/ take a look at the OpenBox site at http://www.icculus.org/openbox/

    No, that's not correct.
    THC dissolves quite nicely in fat (i.e. cookies, brownies, flapjacks etc work very well) or even better, in alcohol. Try steeping a pound of high grade marijuana in a liqour of your choice for a coupla weeks, then ingesting the result.
