Best weed movie?
Seen and contributed to a great topic thread about the best weed song here. How about the best movie about weed or to watch after indulging?
How High with WuTang's Methodman - turns out that name is a reference to acting technique.
How about "A Clockwork Orange." Saw it for the first time at my frat house in the early 80's. It's time for bit of the ole in out in out. Love it.
There's always Reefer Madness. It's pretty damn funny, especially since it was released in 1936. Right up there with masturbation causing blindness and hairy palms. If that was true l would be wearing dark glasses, holding a tin cup begging for enough money to buy a new razor.
I've been meaning to watch that after a few spliff for a while now, Yellow Submarine definitely pickles your head too.
"Interstellar 5555" :) (How can you beat Japanese Anime set to Daft Punk's Discovery for audio/visual, I mean come on seriously?lol)
Also How High, Harold & Kumar, Sausage Party and Your Highness,..

Hangover 1,2,3, Pineapple Express, Harold Kumar 1,2,3, This Is The End, Tenacious D, Mac & Devin & many many more <3
Only rewatched this a few days ago. I'd forgotten how amazing it is! Thanks again for the recommendation
Have to say "Up in Smoke" by Cheech and Chong. Stacey Keach at his best and the whole idea of getting EVERYONE at a concert stoned at once!
Richard Linklaters two rotoscoped classics, "Waking Life" and "A Scanner Darkly" are great to watch when you're baked.
A Scanner Darkly is a great pic. I only learned recently that Phillip K Dick wrote this (along with the book Bladerunner is based on - 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' and also 'Minority Report' to name but a few. He is the Don of sci-fi.
Some of his early stuff that hasn’t been made into a movie or a tv show is amazing. Think he found god around the early 70s (the acid and weed was good back in the day) and his later stuff is very spiritual. He is the Don !
I recommend Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes) which was inspired by Ubik and remade as Vanilla Sky.
Just some of my favs to watch while high as a mofo:
Scary movie 1 - 5

I remember going to see Cliffhanger when I was on Acid 25 years ago and it scared the fuck out of me as I'm scared of heights.
I love Pineapple Express damn I think I can quote most of it hahah

Idiocracy is an oldie that hardly got shown anywhere. Its funny as f""" very black humour but coming true today, so very relevant. This is a great thread. Thanks all :)
Haven’t seen it, but now I will....especially as I’ve just had a delivery of some jack herer. Thanks for the recommendation
Amazing movie...matched by your choice of profile pic.an absolute classic graphic novel.shouldve won way more awards.
Inception is incredible when high, most Nolan movies are due to the picture quality on his movies (and the topics). But I love watching Inception stoned, recently watched Tenet and have watched it another few times high and it blew my mind.
I’ve heard tenet is an absolute mind fuck so I’ll have to roll one and load it up. Cheers for the recommendations
Heres one i dont see mentioned enough and is a amazing movie. Mr Nice , its a movie about the great howard marks and importing weed into the uk back in the day. its really funny and well worth a watch

There's a newish film called Valerian and the 1000 planets ( something like that) that's a proper mind fuck too.

I just scrolled through 100 comments and none said Cisco Pike??? Retired dealer Kris Kristopherson has to sell a garage full of bales of weed for cop Gene Hackman...how did you all miss that classic?
Point Break (original) is a great movie to watch while stoned, failing that Supertroopers is always a winner!

The sky on Venus is much more hospitable than its surface and even that of Mars. Nasa has an idea...
🤯 Crazy! Saw an article about this the other day but didn’t get time to read it! Makes you wonder a bit why we are still plugging away with Mars… but I get the whole research thing..
I think first we need to just make it back to the moon 😂 I think a new date was set for that after it being postponed again.. Although I did watch an interesting vid the other day about lights in the dark side of the moon… but that may be getting a bit “tinfoil hat-ish” but if anyone is interested: https://youtu.be/0VkK3NB9t2U

Giant rockets 3d printed
after these guys made the biggest 3D printer in the world it occurred to them they can make rockets to compete with spacex
Putting one on the moon would be perfect with all the raw materials to feed the printer you could build cities.
this is awesome they become almost disposable and each rocket printed can be improved based on the last launch. its almost like software when you can manipulate and reproduce on this level.

what if we sent weed to conflict zones instead of soldiers?
Huge fucking smoke loud, that's your answer.
what if we sent weed to conflict zones instead of soldiers?
where's the downside? just sayin folks
Didn't the Ismailites try this - Hassan I Sabah and co? - a ruthless and effective violent force - and stoned out of their gourds. From them we get the term Hashashin or Assassin
That's a good idea. Especially if its strong stuff and they would need a good unlimited supply......
I grew up on Germany as my Dad was in the forces there during the cold War. The American forces personnel used to have a smoke to help relieve stress. They got it very very cheaply sort of legitimately as it was shipped to the them (not sure from where), but America shipped out whiskey and beer free of charge to the American troops .

How To Control Guns
tldr its a tech problem :). i think that’s right
How To Control Guns
To effect gun control leaders already controlling guns simply need to set an example.
Simply replace dumb offensive weapons with intelligent defensive ones.
Attackers can be disabled with sound, electrical impulse (a laser to the eyeball goes a long way), gas, anything but hot lead is relative progress.
A huge industry is waiting once this direction is set and it’s a rare example where a leader can set something so important in motion. A police force equipped with such weapons would not only save lives it would restore confidence, replacing fear with respect.
Like any old technology guns will inevitably become obsolete, outmaneuvered by weapons that save lives. Even in the worst case the result is a technological arms race, with one side committed to protection - an outcome far better than shoot outs and more deaths every day, most often at the hands of those intending to uphold a form of peace.

There have been attempts to make guns smarter. It seems they have been stymied by legislators that tried to make them mandatory before they even got on the market. Then the NRA got busy.
Guns are not the problem, they never have been. Why not start laying the blame where it belongs, with the people using a gun to kill and injure other people. A gun doesn’t kill or injure anybody unless a human being is pulling the trigger. Of course, the left wants you to believe everything would be flowers and sunshine if we only got rid of the mean, evil guns. You’re right about one thing, control. People are a lot easier to control if they can’t defend themselves. Of course that kind of logic is taboo for the left. Fear mongering and race baiting are the left’s weapons of choice. The left are the biggest racists on the planet. People forget that if not for the right, the civil rights act never would have made it to Johnson’s desk to sign into law. Who was opposed to it, most of the Democrats. There were active members of the KKK in congress and they were Democrats. Am l saying there are no racists on the right. Of course l am not, but the left would have you believe their shit doesn’t stink. It’s just sad that such a large group of people are fooled by their bullshit.
Humans aren't equipped physically or emotionally to comprehend the speed at which a gun can take a life and devastate the lives of *all* those involved.
It's not about left or right. It isn't about racist or not racist. It's about the value of human life and the callous destruction of it.
It's not about left or right. It isn't about racist or not racist. It's about the value of human life and the callous destruction of it.
You are partially correct; Guns are not the problem…..the bullets are. It’s bullets that kill. Let the loons have/keep their guns. Just get rid of the ammo (not easy I know, but spring it on the population in a surprise move and watch the killings drop).
Where is that the money maid by the Police, lawyers, Medical industries, air ambulance is what $4K a trip?
Why don’t you take another English grammar course. My 4 year old niece speaks and writes english better than yourself.
Because it's the only reason we still have a democracy. The country's fore fathers knew this. That's why they put it in the constitution. Fuck the living document bullshit. If you think things would be so great without guns, take a look at what's happened in the past. Stalin killed more of his own people than were killed during the Second World War. The only reason he was able to it was by disarming the population first. Same story with China and Cambodia. Chairman Mao loved committing genocide, to the tune of 40 million. Pol Pot did away with 2 million. What is the common denominator? One and all disarmed. If you think things would be so great if we think past guns, instead of looking at what happened when the people were disarmed. You need to look backwards, or better yet, go talk to some of those people. Oh wait, you can't. Dead men, women and children tell no tales.
A few bad actors don't prove your point. Look at Europe, the home of democracy. We don't have guns, our democracy is less under threat than in the states, we don't live in fear in our homes, we rarely have police shootings and we don't have countless gun crimes day in day out.
If there were no guns, how would the history of China, Cambodia, Russia, the US and countless others be different?
Non violence is the future.

Yes, defense against government was the reason and made plenty of sense when the tech was there in the 18th century. But do you think an armed citizenry has even a tiny chance against the American military now? If so let me know who you buy from here cause I want some of that shit :)
They said the same thing about North Vietnam. Look at how that turned out. The same thing is happening right now in Afghanistan. If you’re fighting for something you believe in, anything is possible. You talked about the revolutionary war. It was the same situation. Our fore fathers believed their cause was just so they took up arms and went to war against the most powerful nation in the world at that time. We didn’t even have a standing professional army, yet we won our freedom when nobody would have thought we had any chance of defeating our foes. You also have to take into account if the army would go to war against the people who they swore to protect. If the order is given, l really doubt they would kill their fellow Americans.
Remember who was backing the 13 Colonies,,,, France and the French Army..... out of the goodness of their French hearts ? Your forefathers had the Catholic Spanish to the south, The Catholic French to the North. As Puritans, your forefathers would have taken up arms against their own shadows during those dangerous times. Today is not comparable to then,,, Your Bill of Rights is so outdated. Hence you have such terrible gun problems. My opinion and not a rant,,, Love to all x
It’s expensive. $500 for a grenade. Things like stingers are in the hundreds of thousands dollars range. It’s possible to get anything you want, even tactical nukes are on the table as well. I thought it was bullshit till l saw one. That’s right boys and girls, there are rogue nukes on American soil. You’re talking 10’s of millions of dollars for one of them After seeing it l thought someone would kill me for that very reason. I try to avoid thinking about it otherwise l’ll go off the deep end.
No If Everybody had to ware a gun and soon the dumbest and t, most unrespectful humans will not pass there unwanted gene's on as many as they now do
You know you are right the only catch is that the dumbest are little children
I am wrong. You’re the end result of inbreeding, that’s the only way to explain why you’re this stupid.
…
Normally, l would respond to your pseudo, new age crap with logic and facts, but there's no point in wasting my time. I'm sure it would send you running to your safe space. Do everybody a favor and stay there. I'll hang on to my arsenal and sleep soundly knowing whoever makes the mistake of confronting me won't be around to do it to someone else.

Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
Thanks just that genetic measurement of age is an eye opener. Seems once you can do this you can measure everything we do against it.
Life extension and reversal of the Epigenetic Clock. Good or bad?
Hey, I dont know if this has already been covered on here but it's something I find fascinating since I was introduced to Prof. David Sinclair by the Joe Rogan experience (#1234 and #1349 if you're interested)
I have attached an article about a small study that was done in California. The study only had 9 subjects and no control arm so I dont think we can take it TOO seriously. But the results, quite frankly, were astonishing.
I'm not going to try and explain how all of this works as I'm sure I'll butcher it but here's a key paragraph from the article.
'For one year, nine healthy volunteers took a cocktail of three common drugs — growth hormone and two diabetes medications — and on average shed 2.5 years of their biological ages, measured by analysing marks on a person’s genomes. The participants’ immune systems also showed signs of rejuvenation.'
To me that's pretty crazy, right? And from what I understand there are a couple of effective substances/medications available for reversing the epigenetic clock than were not used in this study.
And if you pay attention to Prof. Sinclair he believes that it is well in the realm of possibility that we could live anything up to 80 years longer in the future.
But what happens when we are all living til we are 180 years old? Will we have enough resources? Will the planet be able to cope with the inevitable mass increase in human population if this is the case? I mean, we seem to be struggling a bit globally as we are.
Just thought it was an interesting topic and would love to know your thoughts.
Happy Monday

Hey Han, yes indeed it is an eye opener. From what I've read that will be exactly the case. We should be able to mesure how specific habits etc. directly affect the epigenetic (horvath) clock. Exciting times for sure!
Then hookup an AI to make favorable decisions for us, then... It seems all paths lead to the same place :()
Yeah, a dirty dystopia where the "elites" AI our buttholes to oblivion. Im not down with that shit!
Why? shouldn't we all be asking why we want to live longer, rather than going along with that reactionary action from deep in the psyche of 'Yes ofcourse I want to live longer!' and I don't care why I do........
If I could recommend one book everyone should read this year it would be Lifespan.
It's science, it's facts, it's perspective shattering and throughouly enjoyable

help me not pay 20 for fees and charges and only buy the btc i need for purchases so i can stay clear of my own wallet and i will love you forver bit really easy :)
a profitable way to deal with this is keeping some cash in btc. the fees are bad when btc is going up, so if you are holding btc you make much more than you lose on the fees.
you are a legend for this, inspired me to get my first BTC wallet and theres lower fees than i was paying when using crypto vouchers and a option to purchase BTC with no ID which has been my stumbling block since finding this site.... thank you so much for guiding me youre saving me a lot of money!

Patents Are Immoral
The EpiPen Debacle reminded me of this, basically the argument is that invention is discovery of what is out there waiting in a very public kind of realm of intelligence.
the only thing i like about patents is it helps establish intellectual property that can help an individual inventor. theyre fucked in the corporate legal system without it.
that said if they held a crypto key that controlled or sanctioned its use it would be a better system.

A patent is only worth having if you have the money to defend yourself in our lovely legal system. Good luck taking apple or google to court, you will run out of money before they even get into the courtroom. Know how is more important with certain parts covered by patents;)
extremely interesting topic
i agree patents are immoral many instances
ive recently been interested in cannabis gene mapping how big pharma and cannabis firms are taking strains mapping it and then owning it!
Which means that locals must buy seeds from them or work in another way with them
i have been watching the channel Future Cannabis Project on youtube

Without patents your life would be very different. Think about all the money ip generates for the country which trickles down through society. Morals are a luxury for people with money and or a safety net to look down on others and tell yourself how you are nothing like them;) if patents didn’t exist then all your wealth would be stolen and your morals would also likely disappear when you needed money for food and healthcare or your family.
Think about where all the money circulating comes from. Even if you don’t directly receive money from abroad, where do the people who pay you for whatever you do, money come from. Money goes round and round. Money stops going round to the people injecting money into this circle if they cannot receive money because someone just did it in another country for cheaper.
kind of difficult to understand you but fiat money comes from a central bank, crypto is mined.
my wealth isn't stolen without patents. if anything i'm going to have more wealth since i wont be paying monopoly prices for chemical compounds.
my wealth isn't stolen without patents. if anything i'm going to have more wealth since i wont be paying monopoly prices for chemical compounds.
Where does the money come from to buy crypto from the people who mine it. Where did the money come from to create the structures that allow the miners to mine. Money from the central bank only flows it the outlook is good or against assets. Increasing Past earnings and assets allow that good outlook. Also how did England become so wealthy? How did we acquire the assets in the first place. Not all from patents of course but ip plays a massive role in where developed countries acquire wealth
The "structure" of crypto mining is open source, its a great example of what happens when patents are not part of the ecosystem.
Money from all central banks is issued against reserves in a reference currency like USD or gold or confidence in tax receipts.
England basically fostered trade to get where it is. Openness is the catalyst, the antithesis of patents.

this could have the alternative effect of causing drag on the solar stream and switch off planetary turn.
You're right. Arthur C. Clarke touted the idea in one of the 2001 series. There's absolutely no reason that space elevators wouldn't work like a charm, once we have the knowhow and the engineering smarts to construct such an undertaking.
For those sceptics, it was also old Arty C who came up with the idea of geostationary orbits. Without him, the world would be a less well connected place. :-)

I'm so up for this. Always liked the idea of space travel but was put off by fear of the rockets bursting into flames. Getting an elevator up to a space station seems much more civilized. Hopefully there will be synth music and nice views on the way up.
Would cost to much to go nowhere + the size of the bottom would be colossal in size so it would require a vast amount of resources which humanity does not have. SpaceX is going in the right direction.
but it makes it into orbit, that's where all the revenue is. seems once you get it going its like the difference between a railroad and a stage coach.

Why BTC when you have STABLECOINS

Why BTC when you have STABLECOINS
I have placed a fair few orders here but never posted before. I love it. However it's just a fact that BTC is expensive to move around and the USD value fluctuates wildly. So why not implement a similar system but with stablecoins? A stablecoin on Ethereum is very cheap to transact with and the USD value is... 1 USD.
These are the main ones:
-Tether (USDT): created by the Bitfinex exchange, there are like 4 billion of these in circulation, but it is backed by dollars held in some dodgy bank in the bahamas (or not!!!). May be one to avoid IMO.
-USD Coin (USDC): similar concept but backed by Coinbase. About 400mil in circulation but way more reputable and cleared with US regulators.
-DAI: backed by ETH held as collateral without a dollar in sight, algorithmically pegged to USD. A remarkably clever system that's the closest thing to a 'true' decentralised stablecoin. If you are a clever clogs you will enjoy reading about this one. About 80 mil in circulation.
It gets better... if you build a system that works with one ERC20 token, it works with all tokens! Merchants can get paid in whichever stablecoin they please.
Thoughts? I appreciate BTC has been around the longest and reliable software is hard to come by...

Times like now I wish I was still teaching. Lol, teenagers taught me most of what I know about smart phones, I'm sure this wouldn't be a problem!
Lmao, OK, you just gave me a little confidence. So it might be reasonable for an old fart who used Pascal on a mainframe for word processing?
I'll have a pop, fella. it'll shake-out something like the below... (the image is separate from my list, I just listed so I half-assed this :p ). take in the image. then read the text below.
1. install gpg suite (search). the installed gpg keychain software will be used to manage your keypair/s. a keypair is a private key and associated public key.
2. run the software. create keypair using appropriate information... the private key is fyeo. do not give it to anyone.
3. save you public key to your lb profile. so your message recipients can verify you (your signature) and send messages back to you. here lb is the 'trusted source'.
4.get the public key from a trusted source (which here is lb) of who you want to send a message to and save that in the gpg keychain software.
5. you can now send that person a message which is encrypted with the aforementioned recipients public key. you sign it with your private key. so you'd send the encrypted message in lb.
6. the recipient uses their private key to decrypt and read your message, verified as from you by the signature.
i. the reverse (how other reply/send to you) is essentially the same thing.
ii. to do encrypt and decrypt in windows is probably a right-click context menu item in outlook or maybe on a text file, idk tbh because f ms.
iii. yes, there is loads of info missing but should those bits should be more easily searchable.
iv. the ---pgp block--- cypher (header/footer included) is the encrypted message to be sent of decrypted.

Use a browser like Brave, with VPN, and you should be fine.
Don't worry, PGP can be confusing but if you go to a seller you trust, and do the above you'll be safe.
PGP is basically the cherry the on top of the cake. It's not the be all and end all. I've only had one buyer so far who used it, out of over 40.
Keep yourself safe in other ways and PGP is (relatively) unimportant.

Happy Birthday Ross Ulbricht
Bill and Ted (well the actors that played them) made a movie about him called deep web
He has been in prison long enough, it's obvious he wasn't violent or greedy and as far as harm caused the Sacklers knowingly killed more people before breakfast.
When he was DPR and i was buying on the Silk Road in 2014, he was kind enough to leave me a message on the forum as to how i should buy.
Always genuine, always decent, and ran that site as a bastion for those of us who didn't want to get our meds from the street.
As far as i can tell he's a good guy, and saved a lot of heartache for decent people.
Let him out.
Cheers. BB
