    It's not a full pinball machine. It's a zazzle minature for home use, and I doubt you'd want it unless you replaced the absolutely crappy solenoid switches for the paddles and upped the power of the bumpers.

    I'm calling bullshit.

    The largest T5HO bulb only uses 54w of power, two of those would be 108, plus ballast which in reality should be far, FAR more efficient than that, should use no more than 125w of power.

    My 4-lamp T5HO system uses 230w according to Kill-A-Watt, that's 216w in light bulbs plus 14w energy conversion loss in the ballast. I toss out 20,000 lumens.

    Your 100w incandescent only at most pumps 12-1800 lumens.

    So either you bought some bullshit lighting or you're talking out of your ass.

    If I paid for the PS3 version of Fallout 3 only to find out I'm not going to get the same treatment as those who own it on PC or 360, I'd be suing the living shit out of Bethesda for anti-competitive practices and bait-and-switch. Note that the *MICROSOFT* systems get the Broken Steel DLC the *SONY* system will not.

    This is BULLSHIT.

    Quit buying crap CFL and just rig your place with T5HO linear fluorescent.

    One 54 watt bulb is all I need to light my living room or my kitchen, and it's 5,000 lumens INSTANTLY, no warm-up.

    And they grow GREAT sweet basil and catnip and peppers.

    WE HAVE ICE CORE DATA. WE ARE NOT IN A COOLING PERIOD. We are nearing the peak of our warming period. Then for another 5K years it'll slowly decline, we hit an ice age, and slowly it works back up.

    Ice core samples from all over the globe confirm this. Humans have practically NIL impact upon the cycle itself. One of my friends just did a trip to Antarctica for this very study.

    Marinol is *NOT* THC. It is dronabinol, which is a synthetic cannabinoid that while similar to THC is nowhere NEAR as safe nor as potent as natural THC. Nobody's been hospitalized WITH SEVERE SYMPTOMS from ingesting THC, while at least five reported cases of hospitalization for severe symptoms with Marinol have been confirmed. I'm one of them, admitted because Marinol caused severe diarrhea and stomach cramps, and I was told to just go back to marijuana.

    Marinol is also responsible for three deaths so far. How many can you link to natural marijuana?

    But, yes, as you state, it should be removed 100% from Schedule I. 1/4 of the USA allows medical marijuana, that alone should be more than enough to put an end to this nonsense.

    Actually, by far THE most potent and efficient method of consumption of marijuana is to make an oil extract from the plant material and use it as a suppository. 90% usage compared to vaporization 20% or so. In fact, most drugs will affect you much harder if you plug them up your ass. Don't you know where the phrase 'drunk off your ass' came from?

    As a person that had to take a blood test many times for probation, you're wrong. Blood tests will detect THC metabolites in your body, as you burn off fat where THC is stored it gets released into your bloodstream. This is why many people feel 'high' after a workout, their body is flooded with toxins that were released from burning fat, plus the endorphin rush from heavy exertion.

    How do you think those THC metabolites get into urine? Urine comes from the kidneys, which filters BLOOD.

    There are a lot of mods on /. today in this topic that have NO CLUE what they're talking about. How this post was modded informative is beyond me.

    Urinalysis - 30 days
    Blood test - 90 days
    Hair test - year+

    That's your range for drug testing where THC is concerned. Straight from my old PO's mouth.

    I'm in that busineess already. 'Sales' are prohibited, 'Donations' are not, it's all in the wording of the laws, there.

    It's very easy to grow high-quality weed. The thing is nobody knows the trick to realizing full THC potential - UV radiation. UV radiation is what is responsible for converting CBD into THC. Most HPS and MH and Fluorescent lights have UV filters built into the glass, required by law because of the large amounts of UV they output. Go to an aquarium store and buy some UV-specific bulbs (UVB wavelengths) and put those on your plant during flowering. Watch your THC yield double or triple.

    "Are you purposely trying to make it sound like growing weed is easy? As if you are then it's a complete lie. The idea that you can "just water it" and it'll grow into the regular stuff everyone smokes then you couldn't be more wrong."

    Actually, you are the one that's wrong. As a person that helps out on one of the biggest cannabis forums on the internet (rollitup.org) I have done a few water-only grows. Plain MG 3-month soil and water, with the occasional dollop of vinegar or ammonia to keep the pH levels in the correct range.

    Growing weed *IS* easy, why the fuck do you think we call it WEED? Hell we even have strains that don't require a photoperiod for flowering and producing bud. That's right, you don't even need light timers anymore.

    Oh, and I am a medical marijuana patient.
