Some research actually indicates that people who are stoned are more aware that they are impaired and therefore drive more carefully. Thats no to say it isn't dangerous, its just less dangerous than alcohol. It should still be illegal though.
Except that anyone can grow pot, but its a bit more difficult to grow tobacco. If pot was legal you'd have to be an idiot not to grow you own, or get it from a friend who does.
That's way to expensive and not what I was refering to. There are vaporizers which simply heat up the cannabis to the tempreture at which THC evaporates. After enough THC has been vaporized in this way the patient simply inhales from the chamber. Here is an expensive one from which the baloon can be detached, and here is a cheaper one.
I doubt it. I use firefox and I have the google search box in the toolbar but I don't use it. I always just click the google bookmark and search on the site. I'm not actually sure why I do it though.
I would agree that that would be best, but numerous attempts to have marijuana rescheduled out of schedule one have been rejected for no good reason.
As you alude to, its not just the THC, its the whole combination of cannabinoids that have the effect. It is difficult to replicate that. Perhaps marijuana well tested for its potency could be vaporized. That way, a patient could weigh out a certain amount of plant matter and know with a fairly could certainty how much THC and other cannabinoids it contains.
I suggest you read Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base, a report by the Natitional Institute of Health's Institute of Medicine, which found that smoked marijuana is very effective for many patients, and that there exists no alternative for some of them. The problem with drugs like Marinol, or others intended to trigger appetite is that often it is impossible for a someone with a wasting desease to keep a pill down. Smoked marijuana offers instant relief.
Also, I just don't see why we shouldn't allow people to get high before they die. Your incest example is a false analogy, because there is no equivolent to the birth of a child in the case of a terminally ill patient smoking marijuana. We let dying people have morphine all the time. What is the difference? As for your crack example, that is really a consequence of prohibition. If crack was cheaper, and more easily available, crack addicts wouldn't be forced to rob people to feed their addictions. Marijuana, for all practical purposes, is not addictive in the way crack or heroin are, and therefore this isn't even an issue now.
But then, I suppose I should reveal that I support an end to all drug prohibition. It is a failed policy. This is pericularly the case with marijuana prohbition, but even with heroin, the costs outweight the benifits.
The article, and even the LA Times editorial explaining the wiki do a poor job of explaing what it is they are using the wiki for. There are a number of articles on the wiki which have a set piont of view different from the original editorial. There is one pro-war one and one pro withdrawl one. I think it could actually work.
huh? Yes it does. Its not the fact that he isn't using pirated software that is throwing it off, its that they are counted his non-pirated software as pirated because he didn't buy it from them.
The vast majority of mushrooms have far more psilocybin in them than psilocin anyway. Unless you know you have a perticular species that contains alot of psilocin, it shouldn't make much difference.
First of all, lets just admit right off the bat that nagasaki was excessive. They were in the process of deciding whether or how to surrender, and we probobly could have save many many lives by just waiting a few days. But the military wanted to see how well plutonium worked, and hence the bombing. Now, the problem with using the bomb at all is, we killed thousands upon thousands of civilians. This should have been off limits. Granted, it wasn't. We bombed the hell out of dresden in germany, though not with an atomic bomb, but it was wrong there too. Its one thing to fight a war with soldiers, but its quite another to slaughter civilians who are not involved in the war.
100ug? If you are really lucky maybe. Erowid has it at around 50-80 on average. I think that 60s number might be a bit high too though. I think it was around 350ug.
Probobly the former. 5 grams isn't, stricly speaking, an overdose, as it really couldn't do any physical damage, but it is a massive dose as far as its psychological effects are concerned. I myself had enough trouble with 3.5 grams. Thats not to say it isn't possible for an experienced tripper to handle it, but it is absolutly earth (and self) shattering.
Exactly. Todays acid is absolute crap. I took a hit recently, and it was maybe 1/8 as powerful has taking an 8th of good shrooms. Its because they busted pickard a few years back.

I thought you meant the parents misspelling of the word karma.
Yeah, it still has to get through the full comittee. They could amend it tomorrow.

and Iraq, which I think is really what the grand parent was refering to.
Not THAT Inquirer, though admittedly I thought the same thing a while back.
bahahahah
Some class, since LSD synthesis is extremly difficult.
huh? Yes it does. Its not the fact that he isn't using pirated software that is throwing it off, its that they are counted his non-pirated software as pirated because he didn't buy it from them.
It doesn't exist. The whole thing was a hoax. You are about as likely to find it as the BSA is to make $33 billion a year more if piracy disappeared.

Sadly, there isn't any good acid anymore. There are shrooms, but to me they just aren't the same.
Yeah, but in the 60s you could have gotten that with one, maybe two hits. Shrooms don't feel as clean a high to me. I feel more clouded on shrooms.
100ug? If you are really lucky maybe. Erowid has it at around 50-80 on average. I think that 60s number might be a bit high too though. I think it was around 350ug.
It certainly wouldn't suprise me if he did.

More like grammar and usage.

Nevermind, piratebay just removed it.
