These are all fair points and I've upvoted you. Apparently it's common to pay trimmers in 'scissor hash', ie what THC laden goop one can scrape from cutting shears, bud to smoke and food. Perhaps this employee was only paid with a burrito b

Well that's awesome and I did not know that was now the case. Thanks for the information! My intent was that it's skeevy as hell to blackmail someone for growing cannabis. If there were very specific extenuating circumstances then I'd take

You're a real piece of work. Maybe you should try and blackmail people for committing the 'crime' of sodomy next.

Well I can see it working for some people, but I think it's very dependent on what sort of workouts you're doing. When I'm doing heavy squats and deads I drink a fuck ton of milk with ice in it during the workout. I find this helps me get t

This sounds like a terrible, shoot yourself in the foot idea for the vast majority of weight trainees. Why on earth would you want to make something hellishly hard(weight lifting) even harder with shitty nutrition?

Feminists are generally leftist and the more intellectual the more progressive/far left, generally speaking. However I know some women that are intellectually dedicated feminists and they don't hate men. They love men. They hate the patriar

Well numbers like that make sense when you take into account that the 1.5g figure applies readily to people like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdhOdJ_NVao Better to eat too much protein than too little anyway.

Correct. It's not that I think the grandfather is unqualified to give advice, his post appears upon a close skimming to be pretty good. I'm just curious what numbers a weight trainee is putting up after a long history of ultra endurance typ

I meant research in the sense of careful, systematic study both academic and experiential. I did not mean public, experimental research.

The physical action of the drug on the brain is obvious and should be researched further. It may be that certain psychedelic/entheogenic states of consciousness offer internal, subjective evidence of a nonmaterial, transcendent aspect of re

I think that amphetamine has been used as a placebo for LSD in some studies. I've also heard of researchers using threshold doses of the psychedelic as the active placebo. This is probably the best option most of the time.

You are very off track. All the evidence I've ever come across points to the opposite conclusion: there is a positive correlation between beauty and intelligence. A few seconds of googling turned this up: http://www.psychologytoday.com/bl

You're barking up the wrong tree if you think sex selection for height and attractiveness are anything but biological in origin.

I've had plenty of first and second hand experience with the american health care system and I am very aware that it's nowhere near ideal. This applies perhaps even more so in the area of mental health. Still, I think the post I replied to

Well buddy you'd be singing a different tune if the doctors discovered a medical issue and prevented you from dying. If you were so lightheaded and confused that you were unable to be your own advocate and get yourself some fluids and food

It's neither reasonable nor respectful to maintain that cannabis ought to be prohibited.

HN can be surprisingly fact free when the topic of drugs and drug policy reform comes up. Thanks for being part of the solution. I believe that workers have detected methamphetamine in Acacia as well.

I'll mention this in passing for those who are interested. Carl Rogers, in _The Carl Rogers Reader_ explains how he and some other psychologists and volunteer staff set up a small residential treatment center for psychotic patients. It was

Subjectivity can be a problem, true. Few would deny that depression is a 'real' phenomenon that has a heritable component and can cause severe problems in someone's life. Yet, depression is always diagnosed by subjective questioning of the

That's because the USA switched from effective execution methods like the firing squad and hanging to a method of dubious efficacy and humanity. Given the option, I think many people would opt for the tried and true methods instead of a pse

Well those 160lb Olympic weightlifters sure manage to fling around a lot of weight for people with no real functional strength. World record lifters in that class can get around 400-430lbs overhead in the C+J. But who knows how strong Brad

Wrong. It's because MDMA was successfully used in the 70s for psychotherapy before it was scheduled. Between uncontrolled clinical reports, the self-reports of users, and modern controlled studied there is a wealth of evidence that MDMA can

Many of these "burnouts" you associate with using cannabis are probably self-medicating, undiagnosed ADHD patients. There are many more adults with ADHD than are diagnosed, and of those diagnosed many are not on medication. Many mental prob
