I'm a chronic pain patient and a lifelong insomniac. Got really bad last year when I got off all my pain and other meds (they weren't helping the pain, but they did help me sleep). I used my Solo a lot before I got my original Cloud (now have that and an EVO). For sleep, I crank the EVO all...

Unless you're Syd Barrett with Mandrax crushed into your hair. Unfortunately no pic of that.

Yeah, she was right. I am a skeptic, but that includes the assumption that I am probably wrong about all sorts of shit, and I certainly do not think we know even 1% of the kind of life that may be out there, on other planets or in different quantum states. And Crowley was a little sloppy...

For those of use who are old enough to remember him in his prime, he was once the funniest man in the world. For a long time. And I know from folks who knew him an mj user waaaay back in the Reefer Madness days. If you are so young you have not seen him, check some of his early work out...

Waaaaay more than that. Add extreme dilation from [unnamed simultaneous psychedelics]plus how red eyed herb from 20+ years ago used to get you plus opium plus nitrous...Dead show at the old Cap Centre in '89 or '90. And Philly '90. And the Garden in '91-'92. Even worse was the night Cliff...

Yeah, unfortunately those of us who get culinary training do tend to be food obsessives. Only reason so many young chefs aren't fat is exercise. One of my French master's favorite quotes was 'Never trust a skinny chef'.

Yeah, but only Raphael looks and sounds so much like altacocker from New York he could be my grandpa. Cohen is an altacocker (hey, another pro-herb MOT!!), but he doesn't sound right. I know, there are plenty of my peeps in the south (shit, I lived in NC for a decade) but I will never get...

I agree. The VXL guys are AWESOME. When I got my broken unit back, it included a hand written note of condolences on the recent death of my dog, and free stuff to help improve my mood. Plus a follow-up from SM to make sure I got the extras. In 20+ years in three industries, I have never...

"People who smoke marijuana, they mostly drive slower and look for the cops". YES. I drive so fucking slow when I'm vaped. Old-school paranoia. And fuck, Botticelli didn't know who Ainslinger was?????? "1 in 9 people who try marijuana develop a dependency", says Botticelli, but with NO...

I LOVES the Jack Herer in the EVO. A combustor friend was bitching how much he hated the taste of Herer, and I'm like, WHAT? Got him to taste it out of the EVO and he's all DAMN, TASTY! And for pain, the EVO and 3 Kings is just about the best combo I've had in years and years. Like the taste...

Not as sure as you about the grains. Recent work on wolf and other wild canid behavior has shown that one of the first things they go after when they've taken an ungulate is the fermentation chambers, which they tear open and eat all the grasses and grains out of. Closest to cooked grain as...

I have had a variety of OBEs, both while drugged and not. But have you seen the research on hypnogogic or hypnopompic states? The hallucinations in such states are extremely consistent from person to person and even cross-culturally, and almost always involve multiple human-like figures. The...

You are making a distinction without a difference. The less populist versions of both Theravada and Mahayana define karma as cause and effect, period. With the moral part thrown in, you're talking Hindu karma and some very early Buddhist stuff, not the philosophical Buddhist traditions of the...

I'm using karma in the strict buddhist technical sense. It literally means 'cause and effect'- no moral or reincarnation implied. That's all. So yeah, science does support it ,as science is about cause and effect.

Why would I care about the religion of the speaker? Ignorance is ignorance, no matter who speaks it. Meyer Kahani was as evil as any other religious lunatic, ditto for Netanyahu and his cronies. And half the organization of Jews for extermination was done by a handful of other Jews - in German...

That is an important name consideration. For 23 years my parents had a cat named Little Fuck. She bit my sister when a kitten, who responded by yelling "You little fuck". The name stuck. Quite a few times we had to chase her around the vet's office yelling "Little Fuck! Little Fuck!" I...

Stalinism used all of the trappings of a religious cult. But even that aside, and with the horrendous body-counts both Stalin and Mao mounted up, they do not come close to the death toll of the Roman Catholic Church alone has racked up. Buddhism has had periods as bad, with such rejection of...

Looking for some advice here re the new pup (official name is Best of Bullie's Cyrus Jaxartes, either Cy [good Jewish name] or Jax for short). The breeder had been feeding him Costco chicken-and-rice large breed puppy. But not only do I not have a Costco membership, the only one near me closed...

In fact you did. The assertion of eternal religious truth has led to more death and destruction than just about any other concept in human history. My own family is less than 1/10 the size it was before 1936 - European Jewry, as well as European Gypsies and gays, just to name a few, were...

In science we see the 'immaterial and invisible' CONSTANTLY- all of particle physics, neuroscience (an EEG is a physical tracing of part of your thoughts, for example), you name it. And science is a METHOD - the same actions in the same conditions yielding the same result is science - not a...
