  1. Re:Sorry to do this you CmdrTaco, on Just Say No To Reading About Drugs · · Score: 3

    That's not entirely factual.

    Only Papaver Somniforum poppies produce opium. There are many other flavors of poppies you can obtain that do not produce opium.

    Eschscholzia californica (california poppy)
    Romneya coulteri
    Calochortus

    All of these do not produce opium.
    A quick search turns up a few interesting links on opium extraction:

    Opium producing poppies are not technically illegal. You can grow them in your garden without problems. Flower shops often sell them in gift baskets. Harvesting them for ingestion, however, is quite illegal. Opium is a schedule 1 substance.

    This bothers me.

    It has been shown over and over than marijuana is not a gateway drug. See Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts: A Review of the Scientific Evidence ISBN: 0964156849

    While 3 in 5 high school students have smoked marijuana a lot less(exact figures are available on drcnet or the dea's page) have tried heroin. Even fewer of those have become addicts.

    Banning substances is not the solution. We've been living under the WoD for decades now, we will spend 37.9 billion dollars just this year. The prison system is(or was a few years ago) the sixth largest growth industry in the United States. We are continuing to spend and spend and where are the results? We are sending planes full of money to foreign countries full of cash.. is the cocaine problem going away? It is cheaper and more available now than it has ever been before. Where are the results?

    other facts:
    Approximately 45454 people are expected to be incarcerated for drug law violations in 2000. Arrests for drug law violations in 2000 are expected to exceed the 1.55 million arrests of 1998. Someone is arrested every 20 seconds.

  3. Re:My Defense of Napster on Metallica's "Justice" And Napster · · Score: 2

    I once thought it was impossible to obtain over the net too, here are some links:

    http://www.spectralpsy.com - they sell mostly psytrance and goa.

    http://www.x-radio.com - they sell all sorts of electronica but they dont get the latest releases as often as other companies.

    http://www.sosrecords.com/ - another company selling all sorts of electronica. They get new stock all the time. They FINALLY take credit cards.

    http://www3.mistral.co.uk/chaosunltd/frchaos.htm - sells mostly psytrance/goa but you have to deal with import fees/delays :(

    I've found that most labels have a web page with online ordering. It's fairly obvious that I listen to mostly psytrance and goa, so most of my links are geared twords those sites.

    Flying Rhino, Matsuri, Edgecore, Blueroom, Twisted, etc, etc all have websites with online ordering and most have mp3/ra samples of the material.

    Hope this helps

    Do you have this report online at all? I'd like to pursue this further.

    Maybe some relevant URLs?

    I guess you can figure out what it's supposed to smell like.

    or

    http://www.stl-online.net/thc/med/

    Each disease/ailment would have the smell for that problem.


    I'd love to see what this smells like.
