It's actually quite straightforward when you forget almost everything you thought you knew about Indica and Sativa. From a botanical perspective the title of this thread is very confusing. One of the main reasons for the recent perception of three or more species of Cannabis is legal wrangling...

I love Genesis! The Return of the Giant Hogweed Dance on a Volcano

The title of the thread is perhaps misleading, and "NAC for weight-loss" might be better. NAC has been shown to reduce body fat in mice on a high fat diet, but not consuming so much fat will have the same effect. I don't believe in taking any supplements, because a healthy diet provides all that...

Lamarck (1785) coined Cannabis indica for plants from India, Southeast Asia, and South Africa. His species differed from C. sativa by differences in the stalks, branching, leaflets and flowers, with C. sativa being mainly fibre plants and C. indica being psychoactive with a strong odour. "The...

The pronunciation is a bit tricky for English speakers, with the "d" in Jadi being a sound not used in English. The "a" is short and the "d" is somewhere between "r" and "d" and the word sounds more like "jeri", so perhaps "jeri bhooti" is close. And both jeri and bhooti are used alone as a term...

N-acetyl-cysteine is not a silver bullet. According to one study: Oral N-acetylcysteine has been advocated as a mucolytic agent for use in chronic bronchitis. We have investigated the effects of regular use of this drug at a dose of 200 mg thrice daily for 4 weeks in nine patients with chronic...

“The third-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the majority. A second-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking with the minority. A first-rate mind is only happy when it is thinking.” - A. A. Milne

From the plants I have grown there are basically two distinct forms: early flowering with a hash-like aroma and the physical characteristics associated with Cannabis indica, and late flowering with various floral and fruity aromas and the characteristics of Cannabis sativa. Hybrids are of course...

I find the false narratives woven by the Hafler Trio in and around their work highly amusing. And on a different note, if Australian popular music had a sound it would be The Go-Betweens. Cattle and Cane

Sadhus in India often use the Sanskrit term Bhūti, which means existence or well-being, and in Hindi it's short for Jadi Bhūti or medicinal herbs. And when the herb has turned to bhasma in the chillum it is Vibhūti (greatness and the successful outcome of a sacrifice). And both Bhūti and...

"In and of itself, nothing really matters. What matters is that nothing is ever in and of itself" - Chuck Klosterman

Some people are transgender or prefer cross-dressing, but the exaggerated features of drag queens seem insulting to women. Is drag very different from blackface?

I get 25 posts on every page, and if everyone posts ten items there will be 250 on the page.

25 posts per page with two embedded items each is 50 external objects to download on a page. Four or more makes over 100 and the page can become unusable. Not everyone has fast internet.

And now back to dancing! Severed Heads - Dead Eyes Opened

It has been thought that Alzheimer's Disease is caused by amyloid plaques in the brain, but new research (just released in Molecular Neurodegeneration) has shown that dendritic spine plasticity is regulated by RNA editing and that dysregulation of this process leads to dendritic spine loss...

Something like Joint Wax or Slide Right works very well, although you can taste it in the first few hits after application.

Is the "landrace indica" Cannabis sativa subsp. indica var. indica or var. kafiristanica? And when the meaning of "beak-er" is so easily lost what hope is there for "indica" and "sativa"? There are various characteristics that distinguish the varieties of Cannabis (general habit, leaflet...
