How do you roll?

How do you roll?
Backstrap? Kingsize? Filter vs roach?
Pure, tobacco or something else?
I know the weed geeks will love this question, also vendors whats your style!

Don't shoot me 😅 but small rizzla 1 sheet pink/blue (slow burners) raw roach, with tobacco and hash. Use to love a good flip mode/blunt with flower but strictly hash these days as it saves money and my tolerance doesn't get out of hand 🙃
Usually elements/raw black, between about .6 and a gram, roach to the left before rolling and honestly baccy just depending on the mood I'm in, about 50% of my j's are pure & 50% are mixed, but I smoke cigs anyway. How about you Redeye?
1 1/4 papers usually raw but been using smoking browns recently , roach on the right, tobacco with hash as I only vape flower these days, I do make donut joints with wax/rosin.
I usually roll using a king brown ocb, small bit of American Spirit tobacco, then packed with weed. Prob about 0.3/0.4g. I reverse roll although the cool kids call it back strapping now. I find the paper is more likely to burn completely evenly like that. I also add the roach after I roll. That's my standard spliff.
3 small silver Rizlas put together, folded on both sides so it tapers into a slight cone with the cone thinnest on the left. 1 gold Benny Hedgehog with about 1/3 of that picked out as the tobacco is hard, spiky, weird or all of these, then about 0.3-5g of well ground bud so it's rammed full. When rolled, I add the roach from my pure hemp smoking tips. This always seems the most controversial part when I roll in front of someone new. Always worked for me, and I'm not changing now. I buy silver Rizlas and the roach books by the box as it's way too much hassle otherwise.
Since I went pure/quit tobacco I rarely roll Kingsize joints. I always use a roach, something about filters I don't like although I have no doubt they are the healthier option. If the weed needs a little kick I'll throw some hash in. I mainly bong or vape hash so I can experience the effects/taste of it without the effect of the weed mixed in.
Kingsize with a roach and pure bud no baccy. so glad i stopped mixing it with my joints to be honest.
More importantly, where’s the twitch content mate? 😂

Well that's me done with here for now!
Anxiety of waiting for post, orders not arriving and sitting scrolling here all the time is really not healthy for me, also need to cut out the old smokey for good these days.
Might be back at some point but just wanted to say a big thanks for all the biggas and vendors here :)
Bye.

I can appreciate the opinion and I've had the frustration of an order no show (fairly positive it was never actually sent, the vendor not returning since the auto settlement pretty much confirms) so I understand completely that feeling of checking here, waiting all day on a postie only for him to drop a bill through your letterbox and nothing else. But the alternative......
Dealers who have you sat outside their house for 15 minutes even though you spoke to them 5minutes ago to say you were here
"Just waiting on some getting dropped now bro then ill sort you out"......radio silence for the next 48 hours
Messages letting you know they just got that "fire" in. Turns out to be damp, underweight and in those gross twisted up sandwich bags leaving you questioning your life choices.
Like I say I understand the frustrations of waiting on a package vs going to pick something up and I hate everything about crypto and the process but the choice of product on here and getting to deal with people who treat a source of income and their customers with respect and professionalism. I'll take that trade off every single time

I have access to the same stuff offline as I was heavily involved in the supply side for a long time, I've been offered wholesale stuff that I've seen pop up on here a few days later funnily enough, I know a few vendors IRL but obviously not saying anything as opsec is key
For me buying anything online is terrible for my anxiety and I need to cut out weed for a bit!

Fair enough, our situations are obviously different because LB has brought a lot less anxiety from my perspective.
All the best mate, hope things improve for you going forwards whether on here or not 👍

Shitty death mate, that’s terrible news!😖… I’ve always enjoyed your posts.
You gotta do what feels right though (are you still combusting ?🔥👹…don’t leave without dry herb vaping, shit I’ll even send you a DynavapM if you’ve never tried it…sorry, can’t remember how you smoke…)
Hope you come back to us in your own time buddy! 😘

THC is just really unhealthy for me at the moment, nothing is 100% for sure so I don't know what will happen in he future.
Good luck mate, if having trouble with any of the symptoms you can get, I get it real bad:
I recommend Cbd products to take edge of and help with sleep if messed with 🤜

Sorry to hear that man.
Not had much interaction with yourself but like others have said. Appreciate and mostly agree on your views.
I’m seeing this more often than I would like. With users getting more and more frustrated with issues whatever they might be.

I was in the same place a few months back. Overusing for various reasons but the reset really helped. It’s reignited my appreciation of weed, rather than it just being a tool to forget my stress. You’ve got to do what feels right for you and only you know that.
I still find myself scrolling but this place it better than insta any day

use three words to describe little biggy
My new home
My postman is obviously a stoner, just the way he carries the back all slung back on his shoulder gives it away but he also looks like Wayne (or Garth I can't remember which one is which). I keep thinking I should offer him a bowl of the good shit but he delivers so much weed to me I think I'd be putting him in a bad position.
Lol that's poss the best 3 words. Esp goin by the shit that appears in my area as "weed". And the wannabes selling it
You got me.
Relax in piece - RIP
Happily ever after.
Home sweet home.
Sunshine at night.
Just 3 words?!

Fake weed forum....... bring back the old suppliers. Suppliers these days are all crooks.... firstly they get bulk of weed then put it in a tumbler and shake it to take the crystals off the bud so they can make there pillen and dope then the weed gets sprayed with terps to give the buds a flavour again. This is why the dope is dearer than the weed... absolute scams going on here. People need to wake up and start refusing this poison on here these days. There is a handful of sellers that are legit but 95% on here is selling fake thc grass... all its doing is making people sick

Substitute for tobacco

Stoner kid
Substitute for tobacco
Hey biggas, IV been off tobacco now for 2 years but still smoking abit of green, one thing I do miss is a nice long joint, could anyone recommend a substitute for tobacco as it's expensive smoking blunts and prefer the smoking experience of a j, I've also tried vaping but didn't particularly like it
i know exactly what you mean, gave up fags 10y+ ago now & miss them like a hole in the head - a nice long joint is a different matter though. you can just buy cheap shake to use as a smoking mix or herbs like people have suggested but honestly i think it's actually the buzzy nicotine/weed combination we're really missing so probs no solution for that. i just smoke really small joints of bud, mostly, like americans in old films.
Can second the marshmallow leaf. Doesn't take long to get used to and actually adulterates the terps a lot less. Burns fine but quicker than tobacco cos its dry but its way better on your lungs and makes great zoots.
I was just looking at a pic of Rux's spliff on Budzinho's post and it made nostalgic for spliffs, i need some Notbaccy too, seems the Professor Herb might be the way to go for me!
Ya the few ppl I've talked to about this said professor herb is the best alternative they have had
I have fuck all tolerance, so often will cut with marshmallow leaf to make a j. It is decent.
does that not kill your thc buzz a little bit though? agree with you about tobacco joints, but still not starting up with fags again.
no mate can get diff flavours i use lemon haze does the job but like u say i also just make pure bud joints.
I got my first pack of professor herb today and it's way better than marshmallow leaf etc, best replacement I've tried to so far
Sound redeye just put in an order there for the lemon haze Gunna try that out did you go for a flavoured version or the original?
I use this for hash and it's good enough when you've adapted.
It smoulders away which I like but the ash falls off easily which is annoying.
There's an Irish brand of tobacco free smoking mix cured in honey and fruit juice which I did not get on with, it's like smoking the love child of Old Holborn and Amber Leaf.
This mix is more like Greengo that isn't sold anymore because of tax reasons... stupid tax reasons

some old Romany Gypsies I met used Coltsfoot as an alternative I wouldn't know what it is like in a reefer might be worth a try
I’ve been through this same dilemma a few years ago. At first I used NTB’s, they came in a pack like fags. It’s a mix of herbs and fairly inoffensive. But eventually I was just making tiny blunts. Then I gave up combustion completely and got a S&B Mighty +… it’s not the same, it’s just not but I have gotten used to it. It can feel like hard work puffing my through 400mg of flower though. Now if I smoke a blunt it’s like eating an ashtray, so gross! I have really enjoyed live resin carts, they really hit the spot. I think the future is rosin, either dabbing or decarbing for carts. You get the hit of the whole fruit and it’s so convenient in a cart.
Ah, one other thing I tried was camomile straight out of a tea bag, don’t do that, it’s horrible.

This has been an interesting topic to read through the replies. I didn't even know there was a marshmallow plant let alone that a bunch of us were smoking the leaves of it.
I quit tobacco about six months ago now. I moved onto vaping. I've got the Arizer Solo 2 which took a little bit of getting used to but I now prefer it. I also dab extracts through a rig quite a lot as it gets me heavily stoned.

I've been using a product called real leaf a mix of marshmallow,mullein and raspberry leaves. It's great...smooth no roughness on the exhale
I either buy some low key landrace (Thai etc) or keep hold of a pleasant but weak strain in a jar for a long time, then use that when I want a blunt. Mostly smoke hash worms rolled with it though
I went through a period of using Damiana leaf after talking to a coffee shop owner in Dam and trying it. They banned tobacco in the coffee shops I seem to remember. Not the same as tobacco but quite pleasant.

Favourite 2 all time full album’s you listened to over and over again
I’ll start Dr Dre 2001 and Bob Marley and the wailers.
Wu Tang Clan - Enter the Wu Tang (managed to see them in NYC for Rock The Bells 2010 performing the whole album was a dream comes true) and the second best album for me would be Gang Starr - Moment of Truth
finally someone said Blue Lines. It's odd because in a lot of ways musically I don't rate it highly, it's kind of clumsy in parts, some of the ideas are underdeveloped, some of it almost makes me cringe. But there was just something so special about that time and the sound felt so new and yet familiar. Even though their later stuff is "better" Blue Lines has such a permananet special place in my heart.
Prodigy - Music For Jilted Generation
Leftfield - Leftism
Could list plenty but these 2 are special 😎🥳🤯👽

Leftism is immense. It's been a while, I'm gonna have to fish it out the old collection.
Time well spent. As for The Prodigy, I saw them at Glasto in '95. They were flying high off the back of Music for the Jilted Generation. I vividly remember Keith (RIP) rolling onto the stage in a giant hamster ball. They were awesome. So much energy.
I was in the crowd too. Got a bleeding nose but was dancing so wildly I didnt realise. Everyone was freaking out and I was like...what..? It sort of strangely suited the moment.
Glastonbury 95 was epic!

What's going on- Marvin Gaye..almost goes as a mix album the way the songs blend into one another. So relevant to today too.
Another I've played to death over the years is Joni Mitchell- Blue. Just a sublimely chilled album.
Many more, but these two I think I have probably played the most in my lifetime so far

Full albums I've actually listened to over and over are "The Wall" & "Graceland"
Really love listening to Graceland on a fresh sativa high)

Graceland brings back memories of my mum blasting that album most days when I was a kid
That's how I first heard it too when my mums friend got them the album back in the early 80s)
Tom Waits "Blue Valentine", Ry Cooder "Bop Till You Drop" - honourable mention to Joni Mitchell "Blue", Janis Joplin "Pearl", David Crosby "If I Could Only Remember My Name", and a gazillion others...
If you don’t know…wake up! 💯❤️
"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd: Released in 1973, this album is considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time. It features a conceptually unified theme and explores various philosophical and existential topics. Tracks like "Money," "Time," and "Us and Them" are widely loved.
"Thriller" by Michael Jackson: Released in 1982, "Thriller" is the best-selling album of all time and a cultural phenomenon. It revolutionized pop music, blending various genres and delivering iconic hits such as "Billie Jean," "Beat It," and the title track "Thriller."

Dark Side of the Moon, best album ever, bar none. 50 years old this year, same as me!
950 weeks on Billboard 200 chart! 750 of them consecutive!!
Lee 'Scratch" Perry - Open the Gate. Sadly deleted and expensive to buy, but can be downloaded online. 2 CDs of heavyweight 12". Jimmy Cliff got me listening to reggae, this album burnt it into my soul.

Dark Side of the Moon has got to be my first pick. Millionaires by James is great when you've got some sativa running through your system.
The b-side of the sit down single is Live at the Manchester Gmex. On headphones is still the best crowd singing of a song to date.
Never heard Dub Side of the Moon until today- bloody great👍- so big thanks for the heads up!!!
Wow!!!! Just WOW!
Dubside of the moon 🌙
Amazing..... how this has escaped me is beyond me 🤷♂️ I love darkside that much I have the prism tattood on my chest

utterly brilliant albumn Dubside, saw them do the 10th aniversary tour playing the whole albumn live its was epic.
I can safely say that Appetite for Destruction is the album I've listened to the most. Carousel by Subcircus has had well over 20 years love from me as well
My picks:
The Velvet Underground & Nico - just a classic album. Spaceman 3 "The Perfect Prescription" with an honorable mention for Ode to Street Hassle

Hard to pick just 2, and I see a nearly all male list below...so:
Baduizm - Erykah Badu
Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
Midtown 120 Blues - DJ Sprinkles (couldn't leave this utter classic out!)

2 is incredibly difficult, and I can't be the only one with eclectic tastes and a butterfly mind where these will all change regularly anyway. So I'll go with:
Ash - 1977
and
Kent - Hagnesta Hill (available in English and Swedish, so surely I get to choose both?)

That's so cool! Is this weird? The most unbelievably amazing band that almost no-one has ever heard of, or so it seems. They filled stadia in Scandinavia.
There are loads of full albums I’ll listen to…naming just two, well the two most recent ones that spring to mind for me Acid Bath-when the kite string pops and Oasis - definitely maybe not a bad track on either one.
Muse - Absolution( regardless if you like the band the story of the end of the world from start to end is amazing!)
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
Nirvana - Unplugged in New York
Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons. Some friends told me they would bury the album with me, I'd go to sleep listening to it.
Scary Monsters by Bowie, time of life thing for me 'Teenage Wildlife'.

I adore this period of post punk before brit pop came along and fudged it. IMO lol
Swamp Thing from Strange Times is another brilliant song.

Light up and have a good weekend.

Hey bud, I'm well thanks and intend to have a good weekend, it's my bday on Monday so have started early with some very nice and mood lifting Cap Junky, then for some stand up comedy me thinks.
Script of the Bridge will always be applicable to me. Finding some albums feels like finding treasure and it's one of those albums, as is From the lions mouth by The Sound, which if you haven't heard I profoundly recommend. Have a good'n mate and tell me, what are you smoking on matey and have you chonged anything recently with strong euphoric/giggly affects?

I will be listening to that recommendation later today.
Smoking 'red apple' Leb, 'apple tart' Maroc hashish and just got some 'Sunset Sherbet' and 'Billy Kimber' bud, all amazing.
Happy birthday. Crispy

Hi Mr, Really liked that album, how did I miss that? Do you like 'sad lovers and giants' and 'and also the trees' ?
Never heard of either band before this shout. I listened to Epic Garden Music this morning on a hike and it's fantastic love the use of the keyboard and you can really hear early elements of shoegaze taking shape on tracks like "Lope" and "ART".. This is a very good band crisp.. Try listening to Soul Mining and Dusk by The The and tell me what you think. Anyway stay cool compadre.
This is tough but going on repeats alone I reckon these pip it,
Riding with the king - Clapton and BB King
We're new here - Jamie xx and Gil Scott-Heron

So glad someone has shouted out Jamie xx, amazingly talented music producer the first album with him and his sister The Xx I can’t even guess how many times I’ve listened to it, song 1 known as intro is a work of art. I’m gutted they or he have released so little but sadly he probably earns more producing for other artists who are more mainstream?
Not heard of your other suggestions but will check them out based on your clearly good taste !

Dre's 2001 deffo top 10 for me. Its tough a one, but Hybrid Theory and Slim Shady LP are what I settled on after starring at my PC screen for 20 mins internally debating the question lol The first Buffy soundtrack sat on repeat for about 3 years in my teens too haha
So recently discovered an artist called honestav and his album hara-kiri is one of these albums for sure
Reading the comments, we’re such a bunch of mixed people here haha (GOOD) I think I saw every genre. I don’t really have 1 album I like but it’s one song from a few if you get me.
For me it's got to be lupe fiasco lasers album deluxe edition. And Hopsin No shame album. Can listen to every song on both and never get bored

Richmond Sausages?
grew up with these n have had them all my life - heard some others absolutely hate them?
what do you biggas think of these sausages?
what do you biggas think of these sausages?
Noooo! Don't eat these bigga! Be kind to yourself, find a nice organic sausage from somewhere and stay with us a while!
You took the words out my mouth. I don’t mean to sound like some crazy woke bastard. Defo not woke. I’m just awake now more than ever. Research this guy Paul Saladino. He’ll blow your mind.
Woke literally means more awake.
Paul Saladino is a fraud who invented the carnivore diet then when it nearly killed him he switched to eating meat and veggies, ie the balanced diet doctors have talked about for years.
Don't listen to Saladino, he's an idiot who nearly killed himself by eating only meat.

He doesn’t just eat meat and I’d never just do that. Got to say though when I stuck close to his diet and ate only meat, including muscle cuts, organs and bone broths, fruit, raw dairy and raw honey I have felt insanely nourished and replenished. I don’t stick to the diet but I try and include it as much as I can in my diet. I can’t help indulging in pasta or bread or cake and desserts I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give my sweet tooth up
"He doesn't just eat meat"
"When I stuck to his diet and ate only meat"
You contradicted yourself there matey.
Is it only meat, or is it not? You can't have it both ways.

Didn’t even realise I’d put that im high af most of the time and I don’t really care that much in all fairness about my spelling and grammar. Ok I’ll go more into detail and correct what I was supposed to say. When I stuck to his diet and ate only meat, fruit, organs, raw dairy and raw honey I felt a lot better than I’ve ever felt in my whole life. Mental clarity great, no brain fog and my energy levels would never dip dramatically, I was sleeping better too.
Edit:
I’ve just re read the mistake I made. I said I did his diet and ate only meat, ‘including’ the above mentioned. I should have removed the word ‘only’ from my explanation and just told you that I followed his diet what is……Meat, fruit, organs, broth, raw dairy and raw honey. Phewww.

I knew someone that worked in the factory that produced these and they told me some thing’s about what they used to do, needless to say I’ve never had Richmond sausages since. I think that was the late 90’s so things might have changed now days but I’m not gonna chance it thanks….! lol
Damn right lovely stuff Rendalls the Scottish butcher does it delivered anywhere in the UK and it's miles better than the Iceland frozen square sausage.
The legal minimum meat content for a product to be sold as a sausage in the UK is 42%. Can almost promise these will be riding that line. I appreciate sausage famously bulked up with rusk or whatever but were not living under rationing these days so choose to avoid.
guys im high as fuck right now (see my other post) but reading all these replies are making me laugh my head off. bigga community is great
Yeah, I hate them, the smell and the taste are boak.
Infact I hate all Irish recipe sausages.

Ultra processed meat Sausages are as bad as ultra processed vegan ones.
Just eat real food that doesn't have a thousand ingredients you can't pronounce. It's not difficult.

Must say, thats a fine profile picture you have there I love that. Bet that was a bat to remember.
This is the most British thing I've seen a richmond sausage post getting all the attention 🤣😂
They have their place. More often than not, it's the cheaper sausages which end up hitting the spot more especially in a butty. Not the best thing to be eating on a daily basis that being said.
Was served some out of date ones in a toad in the hole about 3 years ago and have not touched one since. Butchers sausages or korkers only!
Have you watched the video of man going to buy cigs for the teens look it up funny.
I love a good sausage but don’t buy anything with less than 96% meat content, these are 42% got to wonder what the other 58% is!
Pork (42%), Water, Rusk (Wheat), Pork Fat, Starch (Wheat), Soya Protein, Salt, Stabilisers: Diphosphates, Guar Gum*, Flavourings, Preservative: Sodium Metabisulphite**, Antioxidants: Ascorbic Acid, Alpha Tocopherol, Colour: Carmine, Casing: Beef Collagen, *A vegetable-based ingredient that helps keep our sausages succulent, **This just keeps them fresh for longer!
I call bullshit on the */**. Don’t eat this shit.

Yeah all the cheap processed meats have a lot of filler which is why they taste so bad compared to a proper homemade sausage or burgers made from scratch.
Sadly a proper butchers shop is a rare sight these days and the ones that are open can be quite expensive these days, it’s yet another way people are getting done over by capitalism.

Plants can scream
L Ron Hubbard said this year's ago, that's where Scientology started.

Plants can scream
The scientists use machine learning to interpret the sounds of plants under stress.
Totally! When we went on a safari in South Africa the ranger told us about how when animals graze, the grass "scream" and send singles to the surrounding area which makes the animals move on .... And then you have the fungi systems under trees - now that's as a world of its own that communicates to each other, connecting for miles and miles, looking after one another - the intelligence is mind blowing - humans could learn a lot if only they connected more with them by using the amazing medicines we have on LB! peace and love to you all
The fungi system blows my mind. Apparently a healthy tree can send nutrients to help a dying tree by communicating through the fungal network. Oh my…..😵💫
I heard that too and apparently it's not species specific, it will help any tree in need - why aren't humans.......
I totally agree! Earth is so much more complex than we comprehend. It's amazing and beautiful to connect with the others sharing this beautiful little blue dot in Space.
I've experienced some incredible meditations where I was taken to places and beings that I can't describe. Personally I have never gone so far or deep on any of the medicines that I have used from here. So far the meds help me better with day to day challenges, but I have yet to take the cosmic leaps that occur during meditation.
Having said that I also have to say that meds on this site have helped me be ABLE to meditate. Quieting the mind is not easy, a bit of help is always a good thing.

The smell of freshly cut grass that humans seem to love is actually a warning signal that it’s under attack, to warn all the other grass…😭 makes me not want to mow the lawn 😂 nature is crazy good, I’m pretty sure humans are the only species that actually devolve over time rather than evolve!
I don’t think anyone really cares about the grass, if I’m honest. I would defo argue that we’re devolving as a species. We’re getting more stupid on the whole, mainly I think due to the crap food that has become so popular. But that’s a whole other rant. 😁
You can only be, sure if they love the land more than money. Factory farms with corporate owners - forget it. They're in it for the profit and don't care what nefarious means they use to get more money.
Why do you think Family farms have been systematically targeted and taken? It's not easy to fight the big money when you're just a skint little person that actually loves to see their land and animals thrive naturally.

Respect for ALL entities? Well, scientology went WAAAAAAY wrong somewhere. Probably human greed. IDK
I've known this for way over a decade, it was a very unpleasant experience when i heard them.
When i think back it was like hearing them through my third ear so to speak, but when it happened, at that time i realized what was going on.
Was around 10 full grown aloe plants, beautiful specimens, their fate all came at same time, was very quick, and that's when i heard them.
So again, this is something i've known for a very long time, just sayin', have a good one biggas.✌️
I also believe in birds, animals ESP abilities, especially birds.

That must have been very traumatic for you, I'm sorry. I agree with you about all 'living' and 'non-living' things. All of existence is made of the same stuff. We are not above any other entity, we are part of the grand scheme.
You'd probably enjoy the ravens that talk to me when I feed them. I don't hear them the way you do...yet.

I do talk to the birds if i hear something unusual outside, just imitate them.
However the 'good birds' which is what the word budgie comes from in native australian, i can hear them a lot, know what they want and can have fun with them.
Have fun with them in bird song.
When i had 7 they all had there own song, same with my guys now, one's is just beautiful and the other's is very clever, always changing it up and copying me as i copy him.😁 Budgies have huge personality, they're the golden retreiver of the avian world.
I used to keep 7 fly round me till i started the night shift. Just couple guys now. And doggo.😁
But yes the plants, the aloe plants, was a tragedy it wouldn't have happened if i'd known.
Same kinda thing with spiders, spiders have spirits, always avoid ending ones life.👍
We're blessed to share the earth with the amazing animals and flora.
Take care Rider!❤️👊

THANK YOU!!! I learned about this at least 30 years ago. It's why I'm not a vegetarian, I believe that all things are sentient. Just because we don't hear them, or see them in action is because of human limitations...and hubris!
What kind of twisted creature would smoke the reproductive organs of another being for a laugh ?
Sorry to be that annoying vegan guy , but I have to push back in that line of reasoning.
There's a difference between the suffering of an animal and the suffering of a plant.
Animals have brains and suffer like we do , but plants literally don't mind.

Yes, plants DO mind. Just because you can't communicate with them does not mean that they are not sentient in their own way. Please don't assume that a brain is the ultimate organ. As science has progressed we have learned that there are neural clusters in different areas of our bodies actually work like assistant brains. That's the best way I can explain it.
Notice that I do not attack your choice to be vegan. That works well for many folks. My concerns are directed towards ANY dietary choices. 1) How processed is the product? 2) How much is wasted?

I'm aware that plants can send signals through their cells and react to stimuli , but I've seen no more evidence of a mind in a plant than I have in a rock.
Neural clusters are not the same as brains. Brains are organs that can learn in real time , neural clusters cannot , they just react.
I don't attack anyone's choices either , but if you're concerned about waste then the vegan diet is by far the least wasteful , as it only requires a fraction of the land and resources since no animals need to be fed.

I think you make far too many assumptions. Who says that a brain or a mind are required for sentience? We humans know how we work fairly well. That doesn't mean we have the ability to understand such an alien right under our noses.
You may not like my thoughts on the emotional responses of water...
I am confused as to why it's better to kill many many insects, to grow food crops. But it's not ok to kill the 1 animal that grazed natural grassland.

It all depends how we define ' sentience ' . The crux of the matter is that brained organisms have a deeper experience of life than brainless beings . I think it's safe to assume they can suffer more .
I think it's also a safe assumption to say that humans are capable of more suffering than cows , and that cows are capable of more suffering than spiders .
Insects are killed by grazing too . As the conversion rate is roughly ten to one , ten times less insects will be killed from a plant based diet .

Emoto's work with water was more of an art piece than science . He hand picked the crystals . No one has been able to reproduce his work .

What was your favourite age?
Honestly? Probably like 2 years ago when my current relationship was the best thing ever. It's rough now and I would give anything to have that back
What was your favourite age?
(High thoughts)
When you look back in time, what year is the one year you would go back to in your life and happily relive again ?
How old were you? What are some of the best memories? I think my second year of university was an unforgettable year 😂 I definitely took it for granted and would love to go back

The time period after my GCSE's. Innocent but not so innocent. No responsibilities except selling weed, chasing girls and playing football
Exactly this lol I can never forget that year, GSCE finish early so nice long summer, completely free doing the stuff you mentioned

Now…the past is the past,I’ll always enjoy life now,know matter what’s happening even though I’m early fifties 😄
16, one year before the last year of high school. Living in Switzerland during summer, eating mushroom chocolates, hitting bongs of Swiss Dank, swimming in Bodensea and being lost beyond belief. Ahh, the Swiss dream... :)
16. No doubt. 1996. Just finished my GCSE’s. Was in the 1st 11 school football team and we’d won the Surrey cup. Had a beautiful girlfriend who was that teenage first love. Brilliant football summer with Euro 96, (Sheringham, shearer and Gazza). Being British felt awesome (not like it does now). Amazing music. Massive oasis fan and knebworth was about to happen. All my mates together with their girlfriends. Drinking, smoking fags and soap bar ;) Had got into rave and hardcore and went to lots of little rave house parties. Absolutely magical. It’s my absolute happy golden place.
When I was 12, I had a 10 week break between going to middle school and secondary.
I lived on a new estate still being built among the woods, so there was plenty of material laying about for building dens, and plenty of unfinished buildings to climb on or mess about in.
We built fires and cooked sausages, drank the odd beer, smoked the odd fag and handed around dirty magazines. We genuinely thought we were the shit 😂.
The dens never lasted long as they either got pulled down by locals or rival kids, but that was all part of the fun. I even managed my first kiss and fondle that summer.

I thought I was 27 for 3 years - woke up on my 30th birthday and was completely ok with that. Just didn't fancy 28 & 29 that's all 🙄
1995 young free single and no children. Going to the Arches and sub club,my weekend started on a Thursday and finished on a Sunday afternoon.Dancing for hours on end not a care in the world.Good memories of crazy weekends Always saying never again but always back out Thursday night
The minute I grew up and found out the cruelty of the real world was the minute the fun stopped.
I know that sounds heavy and I always answer these types of questions like this, I got diagnosed as Diabetic when I was 11, mum died , up until I was 17 my dad and me were bumping heads and I hated it (not linked to my mum I was adopted my birth mum died) I had times after where good stuff happened but I feel like I got dragged through maturity quickly because loads of stuff went to shit because of bad luck In life, my dad used to get pissed and just rent every night about needing to grow up and make money, came in the night before my 13th birthday bladdered and went “you’ve got copied video games for your birthday you’re a man now so do you need to do silly birthdays ?” And it went on from there.
Struggled hard as a kid, was very clever but could NOT wrap my head around things and did what I could, got to uni after winging it for years and failed miserably, went from hated job to hated job and here I am now at 31.
Got my own mortgage , beautiful amazing wife and a baby due in 3 months but I’ve had a wall in front of me for so many things for years that I’ve never been able to explain or get past, the depression for the last 12 years where no treatment, meds or CBT has helped has made me so cynical, jaded and overall angry and disappointed with myself.
I looked at a diagnosis for ADHD in my early 20s and got dismissed as a young man after Ritalin and after 11 YEARS on the NHS register with nothing and 4 on two private lists I was finally diagnosed 2 months ago and started medication ten days ago.
Decided to tell my dad about it last night he linked a daily Mail article saying it’s a myth so I spent two hours disproving everything that article said and he basically just said “You’re fine as you are you’re just anxious “ I’m not anxious.
So the meds are supposed to be working now but you can’t mix it with other stimulants like coffee and I drink about 4 pints of coffee or energy drinks a day to stay awake, same for weed apparently conflicts with the tablets which I smoke daily and alcohol (drink when I get the chance to feel chill).
So even though I’m on meds and titration to see what dose works for me I’m drinking on holiday, was assigned them maybe last Monday? Had to get my Bichon put down on Tuesday he had kidney failure and it came out of nowhere and because he was so silly and daft still it broke my heart to watch the life leave his eyes even if it was the right thing to do, so I’ve got grief, depression and drinking all on at the go when I’m meant to be seeing if these tablets stop me losing my temper at the smallest change.
Sorry for ranting, this wasn’t even the question I’ve just listed off everything wrong with life. Just needed to get it off my chest it’s been brutal lately.
My answer though, probably 17 to early 20s. First time getting my feet out into the world, I was a little geek until I was about 15 until I started coming out of my shell and really capitalised on that from 17 haha tried a lot of new things did a lot of new stuff but ultimately I wouldn’t relive any of it, just trying to do my best now for the sake of my soon to be daughter and don’t want to be freaking out because I can’t handle her crying so meds it is.
It’s funny, they were only really prescribed at this crucial point because if I hadn’t had meds at this point (been getting told for 6 months it’s a few weeks away) my fear of not being equipped to be a man let alone a dad would have probably been causing me to have a mental breakdown at this point.
I don’t want anyone to think I’m asking for pity, I’m not I’ve survived this long and will keep surviving but I think all your choices in life have clearly led us to where we are now, and even though I’d love to be back getting a blowjob and a stripe and feeling like I’d finally gotten free, the lessons I’ve learned from them have taught me some very important life lessons.
Cheers

Mate. Sounds like you've got lots on and are spooning out about becoming a dad. Take a breath, it'll all be good. Help your wife with the practical things so she can concentrate on the baby and everything else will follow. My dad's a cunt and it made me a great dad. You'll be grand.
When I was 14 some local flats were getting demolished and me and friends went there everyday for the summer the holidays I think for two years actually it took so long we had free run of the place broke through the roof and everything lol
Honestly, it's hard to pick. Life is unique, precious and fragile. We can't go back, only forward. So, I'd say now, purely because we've made it to the fucking future!
For me personally, I'd go back to a time before My kids had been brainwashed against me. So maybe 4-5 years ago, was a happier time for me. I took it for granted and life made me pay the price hard. 4 years later and 1 run through family court I'm still at square one.
Honestly, I'd give anything to have my kids back, but I am starting to accept I probably never will and one day I'll be fine with that, just not today.
Big love biggas 💚

theres always a square 2 bigga or maybe even a (family) circle, love and time can do that
Definitely my first year of uni!
But I’d also like to revisit my 20’s.. the youthful, handsome young me didn’t live life to the fullest back then and it is one of my biggest regrets now that I’m creeping into my 30’s.

Probably 23.
I was heavily into a full blown career path and doing well but taking life far to seriously and had this terrifying vision of the next 30 years just flying past. On a whim I jacked it all, sold up (had my own flat!), headed to Corfu and bought a bar. One Monday morning I was chilling on the beach in the sun realising I would normally have been sitting on the M25 in the rain. Although I was there for 5 years that moment really hit hard. Amazing!

Mass murder; centuries of child abuse, financial manipulation of countries and its peoples, stifling science for centuries, masses of lies and corruption, manipulating the world, controlling the weak minded, instilling a ridiculous morality onto its followers that only incites hatred and misery
The catholic churuch is just the greatest group of criminals to ever exist
God I’m so proud to be catholic 😂

You forgot to include wealthiest, if the Roman Catholic Church realised all it's assets then they could probably eradicate world poverty in a year
All Abrahamic religions are backwards and immoral, imo.
Christian god Genocided the whole planet to prove a point, and the Muslim Prophet, well, look up the age of Aisha when he married her.
We no longer need religion, its just a tool to distract and divide people.

laugh all you like but the basic philosophy of jesus is love and that is exactly what the world needs.
Yet his loudest followers scream at women at abortion clinics, promote violence towards gay people and basically act like 15th century bigots with torches
Doesn’t sound very loving to me, sounds more like a relationship with Ike Turner
Jesus spoke beautiful words but they’ve been twisted and manipulated to spread hate not love by the loudest “believers” as evidenced in every evil act done in the name of Jesus or Christianity
I’m gonna stick to worshipping the truest deity known to man- our lady and saviour MARY JANE 🤣

When have God fearers and followers of jesus christ ever attacked anyone, gay or straight?
God is not democratic or wavering in any way, its his way or the burning pits for eternity he mentions he is a jealous God and if you are two minded then you are not with him
Objectively for its merit orthadox Christianity seems like a good guide to me. The scope of practicing virtue and aiming to overcome vices and sin I can't really think of a more noble cause. I think it's definitely not for the feint hearted and seems we're in an age of hedonism with little to no solid, tangible spiritual values.
Living to a higher power or God has a drastic effect on people in the relms of recovery and elsewhere. I am coming to terms with it as it as a path over the self and see great oppertunity with aligning ones values for a greater purpose and in vitro achieving one's own potential while on this earth.

Probably the most original and though through answer. I myself know God exist but even if he didn't and I just thought he did, everything the bible teaches about morals and character has made me a better person and it does the same with anyone who follows the teachings of jesus christ. Jesus only had 12 disciples and it says in the bible following jesus will lead to ridicule and struggle. Earth is Satan's playground and we are vastly out numbered but when all returns to dust only almighty God will remain.
And saying the church and its various denominations are a true representation of God and all who follow is the same as saying jihadist and the taliban are a true representation of all Muslims and all who follows Islam.

All religions no matter what are just man made ideas and a collection of stories. Stories that were spoken often over a drink and made into whatever you made up round a fire. People needed controlling with a certain fear thousands of years ago and needed a divine leader. I'm uncomfortable with it all. It's all just made up. And to think it is the basis of all wars, man made ideology. Bad work I say
Let's have a look at bit of history:
1) Reconquista of Spain - overcame the previous more liberal Islamic Al-Andalus. Explusion of Jews & Muslims
2) The cultural rape of the Americas - effectively extinguishing the native way of life
3) All of those European wars which were pretty much Catholics vs Prods (Prods as bad as Catholics in this case)
4) More recently - at a time of AIDs and other STDs saying use of condoms 'evil'.
5) Messing up the psyche of its followers by seeing sex as dirty
6) A great place to work as a preist if you don't like adult women and prefer to have sex with under age boys and girls.

If I were a smart man I’d have worded my reply this well haha
Love use of such modern issues caused by the church, generally people seem to think the evil they’ve done is centuries ago, but there’s so much in modern history; in living memory that prevents catholism from ever being objectively “good”

I don't think I've ever heard or seen Widdicombe and not immediately wanted to scrape my eyes out and shove dynamite in my ears.
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh
What a horrificly horrible and hateful person she is. Eugh
I don't like Anne Widdecombe at all, but from what I remember from this debate (I watched it a few years ago) she switched from Christianity to Catholoisim because of the amount of hypocrisy in the C of E.
Now don't even get me started on the hypocrisy in the Catholic Church, but I must admit I do somewhat sympathise with the point she was making.
You can't have a religion based upon a book that says "we don't agree with homosexuality" then just ignore that view because it's no longer popular.
It's like the Christian Church is now willing to ignore any of its doctrines just to remain "relevant", and get some likes on Twitter.
If you're going to be a bigoted religion, at least own it.
I'm not really into arguing about religion or politics, and I'm neither religious nor particularly political, but I do have to admit a begrudging respect for any religion that at least sticks by it's dogmatic roots, however ridiculous those roots are.
That's pretty much all I got from Widdicombe that was worth thinking about.
The rest of her nonsense....isn't worth anyone's time.
Cheers BB 😊👍🍻

All versions of Christianity ignore some parts of the bible because it's not popular. The Bible says not to wear two different types of fabric at once, and to sell your daughter to her rapist, but no Christians are abiding by that. They are all as bad as each other, to pretend like she's calling out hypocrisy by changing from one hateful religion to another is so deceitful, another part of the reason she is scum.
Dunno if you ever saw her debating with Stephen Fry and I think Chris Hitchins or possibly Jordan Peterson at Oxford? Between them they gave her the best fucking she's ever had
Already seen this you don't want to know my take as a Satanic/pagan Witch/warlock ... But i agree with stephen about most things. The part i can't stomach is that The church brag (Or used to) about their il educated followers from africa.. one reason why i returned to the ways of my old english ancestors.. in all things balance and respect for nature and our home.. Ave Lucifer the light bringer and Giver of knowlage .. Ave lilith mother of all witches and reflection of the black sun.
"Giver of knowlage..."
Well that all sounds pretty knowlagabel to me.

XD lucifer before the bible... In Roman folklore, Lucifer was the name of the planet Venus, Also worshiped as a wisdom god.
Is spelling and grammar not a part of "wisdom and knowledge?" (or knowlage)

There's nothing wrong with having limited spelling and grammar buddy, but I struggle to understand why you would come on here claiming "wisdom and knowledge" given to you by some dark force when you can't even spell the words properly....
I know nothing about open heart surgery, so I'm not going to claim I have "specialism in the field" when it's very clear I don't.
Wisdom has nothing to do with education, but to claim you have wisdom AND knowledge, because you worship the devil...
Yet you can't even spell 'knowledge'...
Sorry. But that needed to be called out.
Spelling and grammar are nothing. Manners maketh the man.
All the best and like I say, each to their own just please don't claim to have superiority in wisdom and knowledge by worshiping anyone, least of all the devil and witches.

Indicas are sedative/couchlock, Sativas are lively/creative, right?
After 20 years of experience, I've come to believe there are so many other factors at play, that whether it's an Indica or Sativa is rendered borderline irrelevant.
I've certainly never had a bud that's made me run around like that athlete kid in Breakfast Club.
Anyone agree?

I think its more complicated than people think
If i vape Animal Mints or Obama Runtz at 180c I get sativa effects. If it vape Gorilla Glue 12 at 230c I will get indica effects. Yes smoking brings out the expected effects but the fact I can tweak the effects via temp makes me think its not as easy as indica/sativa
Furthermore, some sativas like Acapulco Gold or J1 are like a cup of coffee in the morning. Legit clear headed energy. Something like the Pink Lady is a sativa but it is more chilled. I think terpenes have a very big part to play in it. Maybe the kush terp has indica effects and that's why despite being a sativa, the Pink Lady doesn't hit like the J1 for example. I'm rambling a bit here but I hope you all get what I mean

I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam. With exceptional quality buds, you can expect to receive the typical couch lock and sedation with a good Indica and a buzzy euphoric racing high with a solid Sativa.
Dr Grinspoon at Katsu coffeeshop was a pure Sativa, it was like drinking a double espresso, no ceiling to the high, it didn't roll over, one for the morning...
Apparently some Sativa's can work the opposite on some people, and can couch lock them. Amnesia Haze is a particular potent strain, whilst it's a sativa, it can deck you.
Perhaps check Leafly or Wikileaf for further advice on certain strains.
Have a good one.

I got the Hawaiian Haze at Katsu - don't know about up or down, but totally debilitating. Didn't want to go to sleep, sure, but couldn't hold a conversation..
There's a difference for me, stick to indica strains as sativa always seems to make the heart race and the anxiety then comes on and spoils the high. Maybe all in my head but happens everytime.
same for me, and strong indicas give me this incredible healing feeling that i just don't get from sativas
I've smoked 26 years, used to smoke anything and enjoy it all but now I notice a huge difference between the effects of sativas and indicas, every time I obtain an indica strain it's hugely relieving for my ptsd and post cancer surgery pains, and sativas almost always give me nasty anxiety. I'll still smoke them tho, because I'm an addict haha
I agree. Sativa is far more likely to make me anxious, whereas Indica is just a lovely, warm brain hug.
I think this is it, I’ve smoked for 20 years but didn’t notice the difference until really started to pay attention and start to use for medical rather than recreational reasons there is 0 doubt in my mind there is a very easily notiible difference. It’s natures way so everyone can be helped by this wonderful medicine, Sativa to speed things up, indica to slow things down. No one will convince me otherwise on this I’m certain if I was given a heavy sativa dom and n indica I’d know the difference within a few tokes
after 18 years of heavy daily smoking, in my experience indica + sativa are just buzzwords, mostly used by trendy casual smokers so they can "pick a side and have a favourite"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5576603/
in my experience the terpenes play a way more important role when it comes to the overall effects and experience of each strain, i've had sativa's that couchlock and indica's that are uplifting and energetic which are the opposite of their supposed effects

The science says it’s bollocks full stop.
BUT…like a lot of people I have go to strains for when I want to get stuff done and others for when the bean-bags are calling. All part of the fun! 🥳❤️

Some Sativas can give me mad insomnia.
Indica never happens.
Love sativa and coffee during the day and indica before Zzz.
I think everyone is diff though.

For me, I believe it to be true to a certain extent. I find with sativa heavy strains I feel a buzz in my head and it's above my ears. With indica heavy it's below my ears and I'm definitely more lazy. It's not a massive difference for me though. My mind tends to wander and think about more random bollocks with a sativa too. Who knows maybe it's all in the mind. All this energetic stuff I see is pure bullshit for me though. If I'm high, not much is getting done.
There are many factors that contribute to an overall feeling. I wouldn’t say Sativa/Indica is the dominating answer. That’s like saying my only expression is sad or happy... However, things get a bit more technical when you dig into it. Being able to simply explain an estimate sensation to buyers in percentage i20s80 is hugely beneficial. It helps people learn about what they’re buying, that’s not a bad thing
Seems the terpenes have a part to play, In the effect of cannabis aswell. not to mention that it seems a good %90 of strains are hybrid, you have an Interesting take non-the-less.
Alot of the time you can only really notice when it's grown properly!
In my basic opinion:
Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned
In my basic opinion:
Sativa = High
Indica = Stoned
It’s all about harvest times. If you let the sativas trichromes go amber, then you might get a couch lock. Similarly if you harvest your indica when the trichromes are clear, then you might feel creative and focused;)
Seems to depend on people’s chemistry. I cannot take Sativa or hybrid strains any more. Make me paranoid and awful circular thoughts and insomnia. Indica Im easy like a Sontag morgen. I grew up with hash in the 90’s whi I think must have been mainly indica and I used to love smoking. When skunk came along it was hit and miss and paranoia used to be more frequent. Thanks to Lb I’ve been able to buy what suits me both in terms of hash and weed. Got some lovelY Northern Lights and Hindu Kush and Fanta hash which are right up my strasse.
More often than not it doesn't make much of a difference but there are exceptions. Maybe it was down to the terpenes, but...
So, I lived in Seattle for nearly 10 years and smoked on the daily and there wasn't any drastic difference in the effects of the many different strains on the go except for this one time that will forever stick with me. I had been smoking a typical kush number with dense nugs for most of the day before heading out to a place for hot wings with my mate. Dude pulls out a very straggly and wispy looking bud from Oregon, puts it into a bowl and we fire it up. Not a minute or two later that shit came on strong and cut through the Kush fog like a hot knife through butter. A rush of high energy blasted away the previous hours of smoking and we ended up high as fuck giggling like lunatics over hot wings. That's the day I realised that a real 100% sativa does exist and it's a fucking blast.

This is without a doubt important to me, after years of trial and error, I've discovered my ideal is a hybrid around 80 indica and 20 sativa, so pretty much something like a og kush or something, I've found a more sativa dominant strain will mess with my head, I get hyperactive and often get headaches, I can instantly tell if the weed isn't right for me, I think it depends upon you, personally I smoke for pain relief and mainly to switch off, I like the real stoned feeling you get from indica, it's like a warm blanket for your brain, I do have a very active mind so this suits me, of course each strain and type affects us in different ways, I can't say I've really every enjoyed sativa dominant strains but when I have smoke it I find it goes really quickly as it doesn't hit the spot, I'd say I'd be active with sativa as a rule if I had to smoke it .....
Same although I can’t really do any sativa. Just pure Indica and a nice red wine and I’m in my happy place.
Total crap IMO..
What tests were conducted to determine whether a plant is indica or sativa?
It usually is one person who bred the strain, will smoke it and say this makes me feel couchlock or uplifting and then give it an approximate rating.
Since the rec market came into play all strains provide all effects you may desire from the plant.

Personally regardless of the weed is indica or sativa its the terp profile like for couch lock it would have to contain a good amount of mycrene to get this effect other terp profiles do different things I would imagine if it was indica or sativa and didnt have enough of the terp profile in either of them for what ur desired effect I dont think it's down sativa or indica more of what terp profile that weed carrys
I too have about 20 years experience smoking different strains, including solids. I normally smoke 'bud' though.
The last solid i smoked had hardly any effect on me at all - it used to make me really 'horni', 20 years ago.
However, i do notice a difference between Indicas and Sativas. I do a physical job and an Indica strain does take the aches & pains of old age away, for me personally.
Ive had one particular Sativa that did make me run around like a headless chicken... lol

I've smoked, vaped, eaten it for over 50 years. Travelled around most of the producing countries of the East & Africa in the 70s. Grown much and spent time with several breeders too. Indica, Sativa and Ruderalis are real. A zillion hybrids confuse the Taxonomy thse days.

I think this is a really interesting topic.
Literature (e.g. https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-54564-6_4; https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322819487_Cannabis_Taxonomy_The_'sativa'_vs_'indica'_debate; https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/full/10.1089/can.2015.29003.ebr) disputes that the two are categories of weed with distinct effects, not least due to interbreeding and two hundred year old taxonomical confusion. I'd probably agree with this.
But if this was 100% the case, then why would so many people (myself included) claim to feel different effects with indica strains vs sativa?
One option is placebo - obviously a very powerful mechanism and I'd like to see blind trials about this.
My current theory which I've been thinking about a lot recently is that it's due to terpenes - as they are widely believed to mediate the effects of cannabis, is it possible that some are more prevalent in indica strains and others are more prevalent in sativa strains?
Obviously exploring the entourage effect and terpenes in cannabis, and even research involving cannabis in general, is a relatively new field so I'm excited to see what we find out in the next decade and beyond.

A lot of sativas have little to no cbd, cdb affects the way thc acts, a lot of sativas have lemon, orange or citrus terps which seem to be the more uplifting and eurphoric terps, so sativas having an uplifting effects but being more likely to induce anxiety makes sense given terp and cannabinoid profiles.

Yep, that example with sativa strains often being limonene dominant is what I'd noticed to get me thinking about this.
It's funny though because indica dom strains can make me para which is contradictory to the typical assumption that sativa = anxiety. Obviously everyone is different and will see different effects but it would be nice to know about contributing factors.
We really need to see more research on this; it's honestly surprising that it's so under researched as the medical applications (esp for mental health) really demand understanding of these issues.

There's definitely a difference in high between cultivars with the tropical 'Sativas ' generally being more energetic and psychoactive but now that everything is a hybrid , these classifications don't make a lot of sense anymore.
Also , those indica/sativa percentages are completely made up.
Also , those indica/sativa percentages are completely made up.
I don’t know really. A lot of it is down to the grower and how good they are. That has the most influence on affect for me.
Depends on the cannabinoids present in the weed/hash you are smoking,while THC gets you stoned and is the one everybody knows about the other cannabiniods also have different effects on your body,the fact most cannabis plants are now hybrids you are getting a mix of both Indica and Sativa cannabiniods so yea no real difference.
Should add not all strains have the same cannabiniods present in them.

Hey Family,
It is not as both have different highs and affect differently on every individual. Some prefer Indica or some prefer Sativa , its basically what they body and mind likes. We have topic on this and link is included in post.

Indica strains are the "Netflix and chill" of cannabis, known for their sedative effects that can leave you comfortably glued to the couch. On the other hand, Sativa strains are the "let's paint the living room" of cannabis, renowned for their uplifting and creative effects that can get you off the couch and into an artistic frenzy. Am I hitting the right notes here?
Interesting post, I have been thinking the same myself recently. Been smoking 20 years and I have always seeked out indicas as I preferred the couch lock but I have recently been trying to try a few sativas to try and get more of a creative high. found nothing yet, any suggestions on a strain if not just looking for a sativa?
I generally dislike pure sativas and hazes, but super silver haze is the exception for me, I've really enjoyed that many times worth considering have seen some listed on here
Dr Grinspoon, Sour Diesel, Ghost Train Haze, Mimosa. To name a few Sativa's. I spent close to a year living in Amsterdam, and I definitely noticed the difference. Sativa's or hybrids, will leave you buzzed, so best to only smoke these either morning or afternoon. Save the indica for late night, or a day on the couch with TV.

It has to be MF DOOM. He died recently but the way this dude puts words together and fucks with the ryhme scheme is other-worldy. RIP DOOM
Two albums define the 90s for me. Exile on coldharbour lane - Alabama 3. You owe it to yourself to listen to this
Also Dummy by portishead, but only if I'm feeling low.

Black metal .... More black metal ...... i like most genres but i love BLACK METAL! Dimmu Borgir, Watain , Dissection ect....
Oooooo the 90's 😍😍😍
My personal favourite musical decade. The decade where I really found myself musically.
God thinking back I had/have some eclectic tastes.... used to listen to allsorts from studenty indie bands such as Carter Usm through hip hop (nwa, dre, wu tang etc) laid back shiz like massive attack, Portishead through to happy hardcore, gabba techno & jungle
Saw out the late 90's bouncing from club to club with a house, hard house, trance & techno soundtrack to my life (which only ended in the past decade or so 😀)

Mate, this reads like I wrote it! I’m was (and still am!) a huge Carter fan! Proper tuned me in to the world, their lyrics still stand strong now. Got me socially aware and into hip hop, then I got into the tail end of the rave/club scene. Onto trip hop,and the 00’s indie scene a bit. Listen to mostly 90s hip hop and industrial stuff now!
Prince.
I was so obsessed when i was younger i even had the leather jacket with the symbol on the back.
Still love the music but luckily the dress sense has improved a bit!
Anyone who thinks Bruno Mars is ground breaking (and i think his music is great by the way) needs to stick a few Prince albums from the late 80's and 90's on. Gives a very clear idea where he gets his "thing" from.
Cheers BB

Gotta have house music!
As the 90's started I'll admit to being into American Rock artists like Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt and Kiss. Also liked a bitta Journey, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon. Still have a lot of my tapes and records from back in the day. I've converted one room into a Music room. Got a tape deck, turntable, CD and MP3 player all wired into a decent set of speakers. But back to the 90's.
Must have been summer 92 that I went to my first rave. I live in NI so we those that are fimilar with things will remember Kellys in Portrush. Spent many saturday nights dancing to some amazing house music. Some epic tunes by artists who'se names I never did get, to loved up to care! As long as there was a big beat, piano break, hands in the air we didn't care. #goodtimes

I grew up in the '90s and it was the age when I really discovered music. I still listen to a ton of '90s music. I think for me hip hop peaked in the '90s - Enter the Wu Tang, The Chronic, Illmatic, Ready to Die...I could go on.
I saw Leftism get a mention earlier in the thread, what an amazing album, still holds up today. I saw them live a few times and they were always great, a real shame they didn't put out more music. I know Leftfield technically still exists but it's not the same.

A great decade for punk / hardcore. Fugazi. Gorilla Biscuits. Rollins, before he disappeared up his own arse. Sweaty gigs in tiny venues. I miss those days.
Dean Koontz! he wrote a novel that very much matches whats going on in the world today, with the current affairs involved in virology etc
cant think the name from the top of my head, i will be back here with the name :D

Early Nineties I started working, then living in London and I loved pirate radio. UKG and Jungle, served up with a proper attitude, while having a right laugh.
Cruising round Essex & Easts in a Renault 5 turbo with 3 mates squeezed in the back, chatting shit about who makes the best/worst spliff.
Before I moved abroad I recorded hours of it, but lost the tapes (lol) along the way.
Hey-ho... (more like "oi-oi", yeah?)

Born in the 70s . I suppose the 80s rock played a big part.
Altho prodigy was epic in the 90s

Gotta be house/ trance. My favourite tune which gives me goosebumps is Silence by Delerium, I love the strong female vocals
In the early to mid 90's I loved nothing more than a night of bouncing, banging techno, followed by Marley/Floyd type of thing as I eased down the next day.
*DTB shivers while recalling those next days*
Changed lots over the years and is now trip hop with a jazz angle, classical & opera, Cash, Floyd, Zeppelin, Fleetwood, Dylan, and a bit of Postmodern Jukebox if I feel like dreaming about sharing my life with Haley Reinhart.

How is Nationalism Any Different from Racism?
I don't want to give preference to someone the same color as me so why should I prefer someone for being born in the same country as me (or worse they are ordained a citizen by some twat)?
Basically it derives from the same origins. There are certain laws of ethnic relations in history of humankind, such as:
1. law of percentage: lets say a black person somewhere in gothenburg or copenhagen would trigger an amused curiosity and the outpouring of sincere sympathy, however, if you "inject" immigrant workers up to the fateful threshold of 4-8 percent and you will already have a racial situation - the nature of social relationships changes, engendering ethnic tensions, global reflexes painful to describe. The more the percentage increases, the more class struggle transforms itself into racial confrontation. Basically, this percentage is sufficient to make racial discrimination appear spontaneously in people who previously believed itself wholesome and devoid of any racist sentiment.
2. The law of assimilability: If majority and the minority belong to the same large ethnic group (all are white, or all a asian), then assimilation occurs progressively. For example, Spanish or Portuguese workers despised in France not so long ago, integrated themselves into population within the space of one generation; same for descendants of corsicans and the poles during napoleonic era, same for bambara minority living in senegal. But if the ethnic and cultural gap is too big, tensions are exacerbated with time. Like African Blacks and Arabs find themselves in this situation in Europe. Coexistance basically becomes possible only in a truly Socialist state or a state that has adopted a high morality philosophy.
3. the law of distance: like two ethnic groups that are not fighting over the same living space or same market and occupy different territories separated by space can enter into normal relationships. Like that an alliance can be explained during world war 2 between hitlers germany and japan. or relationship of pretoria with israel state.
4. the law of phenotype: basically physical appearance. It would matter little tgat botha and zulu in africa have the same genotype (same genes in the chromosomes) and it would have no influence on their daily lives because their external features are so different.
Laws of class struggle according to history applies only to societies previously made homogeneous by violence. Funny, that the most modern nations actually went through this bestial struggles before (Americas, australia, new zealand, good part of asia, greenland, huge part of pacific, scandinavia, etc, etc).For example Blacks of Americas were brough over to work the land, while the indigenous races were being destroyed. So, the "more advanced" barbarious conquerors exterminated/drove out whole populations, devastated or abandoned productive forces they they simply did not know how to use. This specific law is one of my favourite... how spartan domination ended by crumbling particularly because of the great numeric weakness of their REAL citizens. Because their society consisting of spartan conquerors and lowly helots both belonged to the same large white-skinned 'race', ethnic differences became blurred and it allowed class differences appeared only in an economic sense.
Same goes for Rome and Carthage, Rwanda-Burundi, Francs and Gallo-Romans.
Have a look at the american immigration laws and how it progressed throghout 19-20 centuries. This law also gave birth to so called intra-european racism, etc.
We forget that the passage from a clan to a monolingual tribe and to ethnic group and to nationality historically was a result, a consequences of clans exogamy. It is still widely discussed by specialists. But it marked starting point of the current civilization.
Endogamy was prohibited and we, humans, just started fucking people from the outside kkk several neibourhing clans contracted marriage ties that led them eventually to speak same languages despite that their original idioms were different.
The number of clans to gather together to work a more or less powerful tribe didnt follow any rules and depended mostly on the fertility and extent of the lands occupied by the group. Thus was born nationality.
In the course of history, when two groups of people argued over a vital economic space, the slightest ethnic difference can be magnified, temporarily serving as a pretext for social and political cleavage: differences in physical appearances, colour of your passport, language, religions, morals and customs.
We forget that basically future generations must forget about the dead so that the conquering people can undergo a rebirth with an angelic consience.
Why do we almost idolise, for example, conquistadors, holy crusaders and vikings? Pillagers, rapists, murderers and worse.
Most of the things we learn and follow, most of the times, blindly, things we consider as truths and solid facts, the very foundation of our personal universes - it was predominantly build based on someones ideologies.
Books, that our kids and us read, are also written under certain circumstances, conditions, requirements, with certain motivations. Dictated by an ideology.
Sooo.... sorry for the massive message. It just questions like this trigger something inside me, something that i consciously try to understand and overcome. For before we are races or nationalities, boys or girls, gays or straight, we are humans.
Peace yo.

Interesting points. I just came across this forum and will make a contribution. Meanwhile, on the topic of Scottish Nationalism, I have myself proposed Independence For England! We English (whatever that means through consensus) vote in a referendum to dissolve the union of England and Scotland. Never mind what they want, how about what we want, which may be to separate from them, along with the subject nation of Wales. We'll have our own oven ready breakfast and our own national covid death toll, while we surrender the last shreds of our integrity to the fucking Yanks and the fucking Chinese whose government leaders wouldn't make the groove as a couple of Pox Doctor's clerks.
Please dont have the idea that all Scots want independence
. Plenty are and always will be happy to be part of the union. There is more at play than just Scottish Independence, certain elements see Scottish independence as a means to help another cause. Understand that Independence of Scotland is not the endgame for a lot of SNP supporters.

The whole SNP "independence" thing is a facade.
The SNP want to leave our union and join the EU club because they'll give them more money than Westminster does.
They still want to be financially "dependent", just a more generous sugar daddy.
I'm talking about the SNP, not all Scots :)

High Raskolnikov. Your post showed as a comment on mine so You're addressing me, then. I have no intention of stating anything about what Scots want. My point is that I consider an English Independence Referendum is incumbent on ourselves to determine our Englishness without the input of the other three nations. Devolution, revolution, phooey! We want ablution. Wash our hands of the lot of you. Do we? Who does? Has anyone got this underway? Sturgeon and Salmond? Something fishy about those two!
I wouldn’t blame the English people if they started to see things this way but we are still all better as a union and I think you know this. Sturgeon and Salmond are just typical politicians mate who lying is a big part of the job description. There has been a huge change in Scotland in my lifetime where the working class vote has moved away from labour to the snp. Labour has shot themselves in the foot so many times but also the snp politics has changed. I have been on this earth a long time and the snp have changed so much. Sturgeon is still using her bloody daily briefing up here to try to indoctrinate the nation. I’m going to stop here as I am ranting.
Not English, then. To be born an Englishman is to win first prize in the lottery of life. That life being the infliction of Imperialism on 25% of the world's population. Nothing wrong with that, was there?
Sturgeon's manifesto was just a wish list, impossible to accomplish. I don't want Scotland to leave. We may rib each other on things but I'd like to think we have each others back when things get tough. We live on the same island. Crazy to break up.
I am British not Scottish or Welsh or Irish or English but British.
So the idea of England going on its own is kind of laughable.
I prefer this great country as one nation,I have lived all over UK so I class myself as British. Ever since devolved countries we had loads of petty arguments enough of the arguments and do there jobs.
The Scottish independence route will end up like n ireland scottish people are divided straight down the middle so can see issues battle grounds comes to mind bombings etc etc just like n ireland AND its not going to happen anyway thank god.:D
Or you english going be invaded of all the people that do not want there countries independent lol.
Plus the Queen will never allow it to happen she is still the most powerful lady in this country and can override any laws in the UK set by government it is in the small print when she signed it over to the government. She has her palaces all over the UK.
She wants to send to her son to America to answer for the crimes he is guilty as fk otherwise he would have gone over and answered there questions on very serious sex crimes.
Guilty as fk he is by dodging the request of the FBI and CIA law to himself hiding behind mummy he is.
I am British loud and proud !!!

I’m British and Scottish mate. Think it is possible to be both. I’m not interested in Independence and believe it will not happen and will be a disaster if it does. In Scotland Salmond courted a certain block vote and got it. That is what has got the snp to where they are. That and shortbread tin thinking. They will soon want to let over 14 s vote. As I said in another post, Scottish Independence is not the endgame for a lot of snp.
I always thought this, we are taught to be separate and see our differences constantly, great way for a small percentage of people to control us with concepts like "nationalism" and this your "land" blah blah.
Scotland's nationalist party don't want to exclude races, they want independence from another countries rule. It's not about racism.
lol. ok, i'll bite...
nationalism is a term for those with common interests as citizens of the same country working together for mutual benefit and/or pride.
racism is a hatred of one or more person/s where skin colour is the basis used for the defining attribute.
neither is mandatory last I heard.

It was a joke mate but fuck, Vietnam. Is that what you are comparing Scottish Independence to?
Are you talking about Arab supremacists like Hamza Yousaf ? I'm unaware of any other racists in Scotland .
a lot of nationalists aren't so much racists as exclusionary. they believe in a social contact that only exists amongst members. outsiders are not part of the deal.
Just like you would naturally have a preference for feeding your own family in your own home, before you concerned yourself with feeding anyone else.
This would not mean you hated other people, or didn't wish the best for them.
I think Nationalism is often confused with extreme Right wing ideologies, when it could be Left or Right really.

Yes you could look into the SNPs distant past or alternatively you could look at what the Tories are doing right now as we speak under your very nose.
It is funny how a conversation about nationalism is related to the SNP when anyone with eyes can see that British nationalism is the one being pushed everywhere in Britain.
The SNP didn't spend 2 million quid on a set of blue curtains and two Union Jacks and it is not the SNP who are plastering everything with the Butcher's apron either!

Not even Ethno nationalism is racist . You can love your own ethnicity more than others without hating them .
Because we can change our nationality as it’s make believe. You cannot change your DNA which is real
Nationalism has more positive range for example promoting culture. Racism is usually associated with negative feelings about other races.
They both seem doomed if you ask me.

only in touchy feely places like the uk ... not in most other countrys ... too much self hatred in this country ...
Not synonymous, but it's an interesting point.
In some sense, I think it is an individual and academic choice to be patriotic (even that is turned into a dirty word now), root for your country or be proud of it voxally. It's OK to like your country if you really do. You do live there after all. It's just a country. Other countries are not minorities in their own country as the British are not here.
As you allude to, it is a lottery, not a skill, being British (or Irish for that matter). There is little merit to being "proud" I agree. But it doesn't oppress anyone or anything in itself. It is a way to preserving culture and way of life. You can't pick who you think should be able to do that.
Otherwise, the takeaway is, only the oppressed are allowed to be proud of anything and preserve culture. What kind of world is that?
I do think that no matter what, being proud of your race is pointless, stupid and divisive.
It suggests a nexus between a superiority or exceptionality and racial group.
After all, skin colour is decided only by a few alleles in the genome and indicates very little about one's charachter.

Racism is necessarily exclusionary. But Nationalism isn't.
In general I am wary of nationalism, but there are times when it has achieved positives.

I think it is oxytocin that causes the problems as it creates aggressive in-grouping, be it from the innateness from skin colour or the innateness from where someone was born.
There was a study I linked to but there is more out there about the dark side of oxytocin. There was quite a few articles in the dumber section of media about giving men oxytocin to fix their aggression problems when in fact it might be a major factor in causing them.

I'm a nationalist. I want England and all our major cities to be English and not resemble Bangladesh. That makes one a racist nowadays.
If the reason you give for those cities resembling Bangladesh is people of other races, that's kinda the definition of racism. If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a closet racist.
The people make the nation. Change the people and the nation changes with it. Very simple concept to understand that is being proved everyday in this country. Natives are being demographically replaced in our homeland, but because we're white native displacement is considered a moral good. Soon British children are going to grow up as hated minorities in their own country. The clock is ticking...
So it's about revenge? Not exactly on to a winner with that argument. 99.99% of Britons had nothing to do with the British Empire. Just say you have an anti-white bloodlust and shut up
no, its just a result of a worldwide empire. i love whites and certianly wont shut up in the face of an ignorant one.
Nonsense answer. It's happening in Ireland as well. They didn't have an Empire and were subjugated by us.
I was just watching this video of Nick Shirley in Ireland . https://youtu.be/WfJggeIw_94?si=53bYT9Vv6eHP90wL
I think Ireland might be in even bigger trouble than Britain. There doesn't seem to be any political representation for them at all.
I think you're right . However , they do community a lot better over there . I reckon they're more likely to fight back sooner . We've already seen it in places like Coolock .
It really is awful what they've done to Ireland .
It really is awful what they've done to Ireland .
I have two lefties in my DMs threatening to post my address and do violence against me because I called out the violence of Islam . These lefties are truly disgusting
The reason certain areas of Britain look like Bangladesh now is because we've let in too many people from other cultures without giving them a chance to assimilate .
I have no hate towards Bangladesh . I'd love to visit some day , but when I go to London , I don't want to be surrounded by Bangladeshis , I want to be surrounded by Londoners and their culture . London is lost now . The culture of London can never recover from the insane amount of immigrants we've allowed to move there . It's very sad for anyone who loves British culture . Of course racists like yourself who hate whites and Brits can't see the problem .

London never had any 'culture'? Means one thing that was ever cultural about London, that you don't see now.
How can you say such a thing ?
Is London the only city that never had any culture ? What about Tokyo , Rome , or Paris ?
Does culture even exist in your world view ?
London used to be the capital of British culture . The British people are the one thing that made London a cultural hub . Those people are being pushed out at an alarming rate . 40% of London are now foreign born . These people have brought their own culture with them . This is why some parts of London feel more like Bangladesh these days .
Bangladesh is a very apt example as It's a region which has recently had it's own culture eradicated by fundamentalist expansionist Islamists . Bangladesh should be a warning to us about the dangers of uncontrolled immigration .
I don't know about you but I love my people . I don't want to see them replaced by people from the third world . I think that would be extremely racist .
Is London the only city that never had any culture ? What about Tokyo , Rome , or Paris ?
Does culture even exist in your world view ?
London used to be the capital of British culture . The British people are the one thing that made London a cultural hub . Those people are being pushed out at an alarming rate . 40% of London are now foreign born . These people have brought their own culture with them . This is why some parts of London feel more like Bangladesh these days .

Even through that lengthy rant, at no point did you mention any examples of London culture that no longer survive to this day. Why is that?
If you calm down and read more critically , you will see that I offered the British people themselves as the one cultural asset which no longer survives in London . Now answer my questions .
So you don't know. Just say that. British people are not a CULTURAL TRADITION. That and, they are still in London. Your issue is just plain racism, you don't like seeing people that aren't white in your country. Here's a few examples of culture that still exist in London. Pie and Mash, Cockney slang, Shakespeares globe, the museums, the cathedrals, the monarchy. I'd go on, but what's the point. You're a loser Pete. I'm a proud Scottish Nationalist, and we Love our culture, we also love new cultures and people's that have settled in Scotland and consider it home. You know why? Because we aren't like you. We're accepting. We want the best for Scotland, not for Whites, because fuck that stupid bigotry racist shite. You can be Brown, Black, Green or Blue, we don't care, as long as you love Scotland too, and contribute to the nation. Whether that be through paying taxes, or education. People make Scotland. Not just white people. Guess what? The only country that tried to destroy our cultural traditions is now our friends. Well, some of you.
You get racists in every country, the UK is no exception, but the way you talk is frankly disgusting.

British people are ''culture'' because culture is simply the expression of your national character and personality. You live and breathe culture simply by being who you are. Only small numbers of foreigners can be integrated into that. You change the people and the culture changes with it
What a nasty and unfounded rant . You know we can disagree and still be friendly .
My best and oldest friend is half Ghanaian . I love all ethnicities but I have a duty to protect my own .
I don't want to see any ethnicity replaced in their own lands , but I have a special obligation to the replacement happening here .
The British people are the ones who carry the British tradition . The people who replace us will not carry on the culture in our place .
Who is going to be speaking cockney or eating pie and mash once there are no Brits left in London ? The shocking speed of the replacement means there is no hope for new comers to assimilate .
You are being very short sighted if you consider yourself a proud nationalist yet can't see the danger your culture is in .
Are you not shocked that 40% of London are now foreign born ? These people bring their own cultures . At that concentration , they couldn't assimilate even if they wanted to .
How would you feel about replacing 40% of Tokyo with Americans ? Would it still be Japanese or would it ruin the culture ?

So you're best and oldest friend is not your own, because he's Ghanaian? What an absurd view.
"Who is going to be speaking cockney or eating pie and mash once there are no Brits left in London?" why, are all those non whites going to commit genocide and Take Urr Cuntray?
"You are being very short sighted if you consider yourself a proud nationalist yet can't see the danger your culture is in" our cultural heritage has never been stronger, not since you lot tried to destroy our culture by banning our language, banning our kilts, removing us from the highlands, but, we forgave you sad little people.
"Are you not shocked that 40% of London are now foreign born?" I don't understand where the problem is here?
"How would you feel about replacing 40% of Tokyo with Americans ? Would it still be Japanese or would it ruin the culture?" Considering that the Japanese are very western leaning, they still have a fantastic historical heritage and legacy, that will never go away. Just like how Londons heritage is very much alive to this day.
Again, you're just a racist Pete.

I never said my Ghanaian friend wasn't my own . Why are you misrepresenting me ?
He is a very British black man . He also understands this problem . Would you call him a racist for holding the same views as me or does he get a free pass for being black ?
If you replace all the British people with foreigners then obviously the culture will be lost . It hasn't taken a genocide to replace 40% , but violence is certainly not off the table for incoming cultures . Look at what the Muslims recently did to the Hindus in Bangladesh for example .
If the Japanese are replaced by Brits , they will obviously lose their strong culture . This goes without saying .
You're being unreasonable and actually absurd in your denial . It's basic maths . I think I'll leave it there . Please stop calling me a racist without a shred of evidence for it .

If it's the colour of people's skin you're referring to, and you're suggesting you have to be white to be regarded as english, then yes, you are. Not just nowadays, always.
So you deny the English of their genetic heritage ? For you to understand how racist that it , I want you to apply your reasoning to any other ethnicity ?
Are the Japanese , Chinese , and Africans racist for holding these ethno nationalist views or does it only apply to white people ? If you're only applying this standard to white people then you are the racist .
Of course it's possible to be civically British and ethnically foreign , but like any foreigner who moves to another country , we should respect the people we are trying to join . That includes the ethnicity and the culture of the natives . There's nothing racist about respecting the countries that take us in .

English genetic heritage? Which one? The ones that originate from Germania? The Vikings? The Norman's? Your genetic heritage has more influence from other nationalities, not just the Angles. Who were German.
As is true for every single ethnicity on Earth . Yes , we are a mix , just like everyone else , but I don't think you're denying the existence of ethnicity , are you ?
Race is extremely important to the ethnicity of the Japanese , Chinese , Africans , etc .
Ethno nationalism is the norm in the rest of the world .
Do you think the rest of the world are all racist too ?

I had to repeat myself because you didn't address this point the first time I made it . Instead you chose to argue about semantics . I don't think you have an actual argument
You can't engage me on this argument because it would expose your double standard and prove that you are the racist one here .
That's why all you can do is dodge and insult .
That's why all you can do is dodge and insult .
I'm racist because I have no issue with immigration and multiple cultures? That's new. I'm very happy to welcome people who want to make a life here, that want to work and contribute, I couldn't give a flying fuck what nationality someone is, or what skin colour they are, as long as they aren't like you Petey boyyo. You really should reread this entire conversation.
You're a racist because you deny the British of their culture and genetics . Unless you hold this view consistently for all people , Africans , Asians , etc , then you are being racist .
Genetics, really? So you must be white too be British? Nobody is destroying British culture you fuckwit Pete. You couldn't even give an example of British culture that no longer exists.
Still no argument . I really don't think you have one . It's all baseless insults with you lot .
My argument has already been covered. Nobody is taking away Londons culture. You're a fool for thinking it.
Different argument . We had to give up on that one because you were denying the obvious . 40% and growing fast is obviously going to impact the culture. I will argue no more with you about that .
Let me copy and paste the question you are dodging :
Race is extremely important to the ethnicity of the Japanese , Chinese , Africans , etc .

Seeing as no-one's answered you Pete, and you keep asking. Yes, of course they are. All ethno-nationalism is racist.
Then racism really isn't that bad , and for some reason only white people are supposed to feel guilty about it .
Racism is kinda racist like that .

english is a race mate just like indian im english if i move to india im not an indian ? same thing should apply in the uk
India did it's own conquering and assimilating . Every country has . The UK was just the best at it . The people who are still practicing this expansionism are the fundamentalist Islamists . Islamists are the only genuine far right threat yet they're championed by you lefties because they happen to be foreign . If you want to fight racism , you should oppose Islamist expansionists . You can ask your Indian friends all about this . They know all too well the dangers of fundamentalist Islam . I think you'll find they prefer the British to the Islamists these days .
No , it was wrong . But there's a big difference . Christian expansionists went against the teachings of Jesus . Islamic expansionists are doing exactly what Muhammad did .
I have many non white and Muslim friends who I love dearly . I think you've got the wrong idea here . Who told you I was racist ?

Since when were the Crusades against the teachings of Jesus? Your rants show your true colours Pete. Nobody admits they're racist, I'm telling you, you are.
I don't consider the Crusades to be expansionism . That's a poor example .
Actually , racists do admit they're racist . That's just hateful woke rhetoric so you don't have to engage . You label and other your political opponents because you don't have an argument . It's bigoted and hateful . I assure you , you are far more racist than I am .

You'd be surprised . My view is on the rise in the West . Just look at the US . I was an ignorant lefty like yourself until about August of last year when the riots started and I spent time doing some independent research on the topics raised .
I change my mind based on facts and logic .

Yep, it's like Nazi Germany all over again. They were Nationalists too you know. If you changed your mind based on facts and logic, I'd expect you did your research through Musk and GB News.
I also don't subscribe to this whole lefty/righty pish. People that use the term Woke are just a walking talking embarrassment to themselves and others.

There seem to be a prevailing perspective of an individualistic view on what racism is, i.e. the hatred or superiority of another race, nation, or ethnicity, however this view is overly simplistic as racism is structural and systemic and is only dependent on the individual when their actions are supported by the larger system.
One can be xenophobic, discriminatory and/or prejudiced against others from other places without it being racism if they are not the dominant race/ethnicity/or culture.
Racism = power + prejudice. That is the current understanding and definition of racism in social sciences and some dictionaries (as with Merriam Webster, which was updated two or three years ago). That is not to say that racial prejudice or discrimination is allowable or tolerable. It's not. However to quantify both types of prejudice (the one that is solely individual and the one that is supported by systemic structures) as the same thing or equivalent is false.
One is an individual opinion and has no greater repurcussions than that person's world's or actions, the other however plays into a wider narrative of oppression that reinforces the structural oppression and contributes to and reinforces societal and structural discrimination.
Nationalism is different in several ways.
Firstly, pride in ones nation does not mean an inherent prejudice or discrimination against those that come from other nations (although all too often it does manifest in such a way).
Secondly, if those expressing nationalist sentiment are not the dominant authority over said nation, then it is not racism but discrimination and prejudice as they lack the power to manifest that discrimination through institutions or on a structural scale. This type of nationalism often manifests as a resistance to colonial and imperial forces. In those cases the nationalism is not being the of an ideological superiority or innate belief in the dominance of one nation over another, but rather a resistance to such.
Therefore nationalism and racism only become the same when said nation propogates their dominance and superiority over others while simultaneously systemically oppressing other nations or supporting existing structural oppression and prejudice.

That's the woke idea of racism . It's not useful for anything but justifying woke racism .
Racism is a universal principle . Once you start adding caveats it becomes a self defeating philosophy . Racism under the new woke definition is itself racist .

your entire comment gets disregarded as clearly you are just another wanker who calls everything they don't like woke.

They're called 'Woke ' ironically because they're actually asleep . It's the name we've given to all the violent bigots on the left who haven't done any research into the causes they champion .
You'll often hear them mindlessly chanting the opposite of truth . Free speech is undemocratic . Israel are committing genocide rather than defending against one , Women can be men , Jews are Nazis , UK patriots are Nazis . Everyones a Nazi apart from the actual Nazis in Ukraine or the Islamo Nazis who have the same genocidal goals . It goes on and on .
'Woke ' is the name given to the lefty movement that is so ignorant and twisted that it's almost satanic .
These people are useful idiots for the Globalists . They can never defend their stance , so they always refuse to debate and often turn violent when challenged .

what's left libertarianism?
It's Leftism without the authoritarianism.
if anyone can parse this bs on wikipedia id love to see it
B.s confirmed. The libertarian/authoritarian is a different axis from the left/right paradigm. The left/right axis doesn't really matter anymore. Classic liberalism much more akin to Conservative values.
The more relevant terms when talking of the laissez-faire ideas are whether you are a consequentialist, or deontological libertarian I.e: do consequences matter or is it the rules that matter?

The government determine the rules, generally speaking don't they?
The consequentialist libertarian generally would say that they are not against force (by government)per se, but they believe in strong private property rights because it generally makes people happy and prosperous when they have them.

I find today’s liberal left to be very authoritarian in nature. They use all the kind fluffy buzz words but ram it down your throat with a hot poker.
This must make the Right and Far Right complete Nazis then I guess. It’s all relative.
This rhetoric about liberalism being authoritarian is just propaganda served up by the Right for the most part (including Kier Starmer’s Labour, which is essentially just right of center Tory at this point) If you buy into it, you have fallen for it.

it makes sense: private property for what we create, public property for what's already sitting on the planet.
The Beano is as much an encyclopedia as Wikipedia. https://libcom.org/article/libertarian-marxist-tendency-map + any anarcho history from Bakunin and Stirner onward.
Left and right are wings of the same bird. Liberty is when the bird flies forward. And people are in awe of the lack of polarity. And learn to love each other again.
A true president like that and the only one in the world is Milei Argentina , guy saved his country from crashing down due to importing US values in mostly a Traditional hard working country.
The people of Argentina have given him a bigger mandate than ever and rejected the Peronists.

Ways to take mushrooms
I only use B+ positive strain for dosing (micro is a different story)
I chuck my mushrooms in my smoothie maker with orange juice, blueberries, straw…

Ways to take mushrooms
Hey so I’m gonna be try mushrooms for the first time this week. What are some of the best ways to take them. Also feel free to give any tips if you want
Hi, I am back taking shrooms, first time for over 30 years. Start small just to check your tolerance. 5 to 1g is where I have held my consumption so far, but I am not looking for a full brown trip, just relaxation really.
Cutting and mixing with citrus will process the conversion prior to ingesting, so will bring on the affects quite rapidly. I would suggest golden teachers or liberty caps first, they seem to be a little more gentle than the new varieties

Break/cut them up into small pieces, then put them in fresh orange juice and drink them, the quicker you do it the more it will taste like orange juice
+1 for this Caeba, especially nicely dried and ground shrooms work great with OJ and its a nice way to get all that goodness into you at once, without hating it..lol..
I micro-dose them when i'm in the mood, around 0.2g or so maybe a bit more.
Have some weed at hand when shrooming is my advice. I always like to have shrooms around, a couple grams lasts me ages.👍

If I have an inclination to bake, I ground up my shrooms 6g, mix in 2g hash, and make a 10 square chocolate bar. Good for microdosing or high stepping. Hash takes away nausea and adds to the effects of the shrooms.
Been a few years since I last did shrooms - liberty caps, but I always enjoyed a quick flash brew
Mulled spice mixed with shrooms in a cheese cloth t bag idea dunked in boiling water for 15/20 seconds, remove and enjoy your cuppa
Can be reused with a longer soak but found that tasted alot more earthy

I was under impression boiling water kills/reduce psilocybin and its best to wait a bit for temp to drop when brewing, unless I'm mistaken?
Considering the experience of myself and many others on long brewed high doses of liberty caps this is complete bollocks. Bring it to the boil initially, then simmer. We brewed the 150+ dried mushrooms per person into tea for a good 15-20 minutes or so on the hob until it was a foul looking mixture. Got you ridiculously high for 6-8 hours. Only recently did I find out the recommended dosages, and whatever we did was the highest possible level as I once spent 3-4 hours just trying to roll a joint while observing and thinking. Never done any shrooms in anything other than tea until my recent chocolate bar experience, and always worked way too well.
I'm not wading into any handbags, but, I've done shrooms a fair few times (im 50+) sometimes i made tea, sometimes other even more experienced folk did so, but never brought to a full boil.
Horses for courses....

I chuck my mushrooms in my smoothie maker with orange juice, blueberries, strawberries, some frozen mango and a tiny bit of vanilla syrup then BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Drink the lovely smoothie and wait half an hour or less.
No mushroom taste, get your five a day, no waiting around for tea for to brew or whatever.
Also seems to totally avoid nausea.
Happy flying!

BRRRRR😂Actually sounds like a nice way to take them, will actually try that if I find enough this week.
I wouldn't worry that much about throwing up.
I can assure you, it will be the most enjoyable, Paisley hued puke you've ever done!
There's nothing quite like throwing up all over your mates shoes while laughing your tits off!

I just crush them and down them with something sweet lol. brewing a tea with them is the best way in terms of getting the most from the fruit but its very hard to stomach the taste. i would say smoothie or adding them to chocolate is the tastiest way (no nasty taste or dust clouds in your mouth). whichever way you do them be safe and have a wicked time!
For me the taste and smell of mushrooms isn't overpoweringly bad but it does linger in the background and no matter which ROA I use there is usually some degree of nausea.
Ginger/lemon/tea/orange juice/riding it out just doesn't work but there is good news. Weed. I really don't know where you could buy some from (ahem) but a small hit really works for me either prior to ingestion or during the come up if nausea creeps in. I don't like to get completely blazed during my trips but a little doesn't affect the trip too much, if that would be a concern.
Roughly ground up in a flavoured yoghurt (for those in the US, don't be confused, I mean yogurt...) helps to mask the aroma/taste.
Reading the blender comment has me thinking the finer consistency may help because when I use a grinder and add to OJ, it just floats to the top and gets in my teeth! Will have to try that.

As others have said making tea is one of the better ways, it’s not like you need a full cup of water either. Can make it quite concentrated so it’s easier to get down in one.
Only simmer them after the initial boil though. I found adding citrus does make it hit quicker but it lasts less time.
Eating some dark chocolate on an empty stomach then having the tea always helps reduce nausea for me anyways.
If you’re going anywhere near albino penis envies for your first be very careful with dosage. Libs are definitely a more gentle ride.

I had some McKennas and Penis Envy recently. I literally just eat them neat then wash the mouth with a drink. Not sure if that makes me weird 🤷♂️
I like to keep it simple; weigh my dose, chew up shrooms, chase with orange juice..citric acid promotes digestion of shrooms

The Middle East vs The Mid West
Weird way to spell indoctrinating 😉
The Middle East vs The Mid West
the middle east
$8,000 per us citizen spent killing people
the mid west
$1.79 per us citizen spent educating people
$8,000 per us citizen spent killing people
the mid west
$1.79 per us citizen spent educating people
It's self reinforcing, ignorant people are willing to spend more on killing people than education.

marx said people controlling the system of workers inevitably exploit the situation.
what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system at 0 cost?

i think the other flaws of communism would eventually come to the fore anyway. Would be very interesting to see what A.I does with state capitalism however.
The original term ‘communism’ is surely people living together harmoniously in a commune? After all communes date back to the Stone Age where groups co existed.
It worked throughout history, invaders and tribal warfare repeatedly tried to derail what was an effective system of existence….

Marx & Engels write quite a fair bit about this "primitive" communism. Its part the Marxist/Communist argument against Capitalism.
Im sure we have all heard the phrase "oh but capitalism is human nature" but this couldn't be further from the truth. Capitalism has only existed 200 odd years for most of Human existence we have lived in more communistic communal ways.
when Darwin said survival of the fittest, this was not him saying the strongest wins, it is the species being able to adapt and the adaptive trait that shot Human kind straight to the top was cooperation not Capitalism.

surely there is no single element to human nature when it comes to economics. of course people share as well as trade, hoard and borrow to keep it all flowing.
capitalism and communism both arise naturally, it's not hard to see their equivalents among animal populations that fight over the same resources that they share in other circumstances.

more communistic communal ways 200 years ago - what do you mean because serfdom is what comes to mind.
I said capitalism has only 200 years not communes existed 200 years ago. But feudalism was still more communal than Capitalism. Peasants worked together on a plot of land that they paid for and were not dragged off to choking factories and confined to dense urban populations like the 1800s.
Before feudal rule however & things like the Enclosures in Europe, tribal community was the default for most human beings.
I recommend reading Marx and Engels early works or if you prefer a more modern take there are plenty of authors who have covered this section of history.

Why, when looking at historical context, would anybody ever come to the conclusion that communism is better than capitalism?
Does it come from a fundamental ignorance of a period when capitalism lifted more people out of extreme poverty than anything that came before or after it?
Give me an example whereby communism has managed to achieve even 1/100th of that and I'll show you somebody very gullible.

"what if those people were a.i. programmed to control the system" - we have this part, try working for uber.
"at 0 cost" - this is the communism part. possible with open source ;)

think of what c - suite execs are paid and every one of them can be replaced by an a.i. with existing technology. lots of them are just figureheads already.
Until technology is liberated from the capitalist mode of production & the private patents that create AI, then no. A.i under a communist government or socialist state could be used for good and help toward automation. Look to china where sophisticated computing has been used in public spaces to better traffic flow, keep public transport running and deliver goods and services. But A.I alone wont create communism. For communism to be achieved Revolution must happen first and the dominant ruling classes replaced so the means of production for AI are utilised by workers and not elites.
Also nice to know LB has comrades ;) nothing to lose but our chains baby !

China was the first to weaponise AI with the social credit system they are/were introducing.
As an aside, China just like the USSR before it, remain the barrier against actual communisation. When state capitalism dies out as an valid idea and there's no more pretence of an alternative, libertarian communism will gain traction.

Just a reminder that the China "credit score" myth was a false story pushed by American war hawks and imperialists in the state department -

Nor have they weaponised it anymore than say Europe has when it comes to taking out a bank loan or buying property.

"From the early 2010s, some cities indeed started scoring pilots. However, these gradually became controversial – even in China. The city of Suining reportedly deducted points for government petitions and online comments, Suzhou planned penalties for reservation no-shows or cheating in online games, and Rongcheng for littering or jaywalking. Many of these pilots were later criticized by official media or failed to materialize. The most common critiques were that scores illegally restricted citizens’ legal rights or tracked behavior totally unrelated to the notion of “credit”. "

Going by the UK, if they've tried it, it means they're open to it. And again, vis a vis Europe is not the yard stick an actual revolutionary program would be using. Maoism in 2023 is mental (except about landlords).

Your own source sums it up pretty well -"The idea that China gives every citizen a “social credit score” continues to capture the horrified imagination of many. But it is more bogeyman than reality."
The point remains, one capitalist state may or may not be better than another. Neither have anything to do with communism.
I mean i think you're talking about tendency, when this particular post was talking AI.
I get your point you think Chinas capitalist.
I quite obviously disagree and so do most academics and Marxists at that.

It could.
Capital owners already exploit technology to reduce costs and lay off workers, ai is just another part of that.
AI and automation could be used to give people more time off, pay more for less work, improve work life balance etc, or it could be used in the way described above.
As with a lot of things, AI could be used to benefit people or it could be used to make billions of dollars, or anything in between.

Just got to Hurts on the track listing, really good with my coffee and vape so far 🙌 just the perfect soundtrack ❤️ by that I mean all the tracks so far 👍
Thank you so much mate. Means a lot. You'd be surprised how few people I've ever played my beats to. For context Hurts was from a beat battle flipping Joy Crookes "Hurts" sample, so that was done in an hour as I was late haha. Most of the new ones are small clips of projects started but never finished, and loads I've never even posted over the years
Really enjoyed my morning with your tunes ☺️ can't believe you put Hurts together in an hour 🤯
Proper lovely vibe to it all ❤️

Thanks Rabb1t, grew up listening to conscious hip hop and indie while the boys were on mobb deep, Wu tang etc, so that will reflect. Didn't help find MCs though over the years, hence never really finished anything of substance. I've had no outlet for these, no vocalists etc so now it's just challenging myself to find, then flip a sample as creatively as possible. Again mate humbled by the praise thanks
Great beat! That hurts reminds me of the great talib kwali mos def style beats I’m an mc and sing a bit not got no music equipment at moment but maybe a collab sometime?
100% inspired by Kweli, Mos Def, Dilla and much of the conscious hip hop. Was stuck in a rut for a while, struggled with the workflow but been trying to self-teach the MPC software recently so found a bit more of a spark, started to go again so may upload some more clips. Always looking to collab mate, I'm not precious on any of these beats they are old, collecting dust and I'd happily throw the MP3's to an MC who could use them. Send us a DM or add on Soundcloud mate.
Gimme a minute a we’ll put something together I’ll dm once laptop etc back in effect make some real not drill lol 👊🏻
Similarly to another comment, I play bass and guitar as well as making digital music. I love vintage synths from the 70s/80s. Cannabis is great for getting into that creatve zone.

Used to play bass for a living around 10 years ago. Spending whole summers at festivals up and down the country and sometimes into Europe.

WHATS THE BEST? dry herb vapouriser for those on a budget?
just bought a cheap vape on amazon- The ANIX Pathfinder-steam machine. doesn't seem very good! anyone here got any experience on the matter? or has anyone got one for sale?
I’ve had the Xmax V3 for a couple of months, absolutely great device but make sure you get dosing capsules if you get one as it saves a lot of hassle cleaning.
I also had to get a new one because I tried concentrate in the concentrate cup and it leaked out and ruined my oven I probably just done something wrong but just some merging to be wary of.

I have this vape too. Seems pretty decent for the price. My mate's got the mighty which is better but was twice the price. Agree completely on the dosing capsules.
A dab pen works loads better for extracts. I've got quite a basic one - utillian v2. Was like fifty quid. Will probably upgrade it as it's a pain to clean but it works really well and it's pocket sized.

I did the same thing a few years back, finally settled on an Arizer Solo 2 which ended up feeling more like a waste of money, i wish id saved up and got a Mighty first time around as that's what I'm saving for now, although the dogs latest visit to the vets has just disappeared 160 sheets from the "GetMeAMighty" jar so i might be joining you on the Xmax V3 gravy train for the foreseeable...

Dynavap is a solid £50 vape, but you have to get used to heating it and it works better at home or with zero wind.
Once I was used to it I preferred it to my PAX 3 because better flavour, cleaning and no charging.
Tinymight 2 is an amazing vape for anyone spending S&B money - hits like a desktop on the go and rips through a water rig at home.
Other less expensive options worth looking into are: the Terpsicle and lotus by vapman -these require a water pipe of sorts tho.

I bought a Spirit for less than a ton at the local head shop Does the trick. I then got a crafty+ which isn't budget but was a significantly better experience.
dynavap maybe. It’s abit fiddly and there’s abit of a learning curve but once it becomes 2nd nature it’s great
cheers zoonless! looking at the dynavap rabbit hole right now!
torch it when it clicks vape it.
bloody hell!

Second hand is an option too.
Happy to send you free (used) dynavap to use while you save for something else mate 😜

I have been researching this exact same topic (also looking to switch to dry herb vaping). The two gold standard "budget" vapes are the XMAX V3 Pro and the Arizer Solo 2. I say budget in quotes because they will still set you back £100. As I understand it though, vapes are a market where you buy cheap, you buy twice.
The advantage of the XMAX V3 Pro is that it has an "on demand" mode (where you can heat the chamber for single hit as and when the mood takes you). The Solo 2 is a little better built and more stealthy. Otherwise, they are functionally the same.
If you want cheaper, then I would say dynamax range. They are manual heating, so there is a "hidden" cost of buying a decent lighter and learning to use it. However, I have seen other people here raving about them, so likely worth it for the long haul.
Dunno how much this counts, but I am looking to buy a XMAX V3 Pro myself.

I'm not sure where you are researching but the solo isn't great for existing smokers due to the slow extraction speed
Also it's not stealthier than the V3 in reality
Functionally they both extract weed but that's where the differences end
Solo is a predominantly a sipper this is because of the weak heater and the fact it needs the glass stem to heatsoak before you can start to extract nicely
Think of a McDonald's milkshake and that's the draw resistance
V3 is convection biased and you have a more open airflow in it but you will use a completely different style of inhalation to extract
V3 would be my choice for anyone who smokes out of those two

I have been using an XMax V3 Pro for quite sometime now and would recommend it
Got mine for around £80 with a glass water bubbler on sale
Only issue I have with it is that I wish the oven was bigger so I can add more bud

Terpcicle is decent, I use it with a globe or j-hook. Needs to be heated with a torch. Can stick hash or concentrate on top of the bud.
I don't use it as much as the Crafty+, however I'd say it better for a quick extraction. You can really load it too in comparison. It's just not as convenient, can't use a torch all the time with others around.
I did get a cheap glass one from Aliexpress and it broke after a couple of goes, not worth it for a cheaper one thereal TRWW one is far superior.

Forgot to add.
You should keep an eye out in the 2nd hand markets. People like the idea and loose interest.
I’ve done very well using that route.
There is always plenty kicking about.

If you’re looking at circa 100 quid then maybe too cheap for you.
A mate bought me a Yokan Evolve (was £22 on EBay). It’s really only good for one, maybe two tokes at a time before it needs a refill, but a year later and it’s still going strong. I still have the spare heating chamber it came with too.
I soak the chamber and lid in isopropyl fairly regularly.
Anyway, thought I’d chip in. Hope you find something you like 👍

Under a ton the Xmax V3 pro or the Dynavap are probably your best bets. I haven't tried the X-Max myself but the folks on the interwebs rate it. Dynavaps might hit a bit harder and probably better for hash or concentrates (b/c they can get to higher temps - use them on top of a bed of degummed hemp fibre or flower for this). On the other hand, they are a bit more fiddly and if you need to be stealthy, then butane lighter powered vapes are not the best choice. If you use mostly bud and want to use it on the go outside sometimes then maybe try the XMax. You can get 10% off from Vapefiend with the code 420, which will get you a V3 for £79 or a Dynavap M for £58 (you will also need a jet lighter for the Dynavap).
No worries, you might end up with more than one anyway as vapes are like that! Hope you find one that does the trick for you.
Rabb1t is your man for recommendations.
What price point are you comfortable with? Relax, and someone will hopefully be with you shortly.

If you save a wee bit more you can get the pax 2 or 3 for around 80-120 the pax 3 allows for trates also, ✌️

Could governments use EMP devices to prevent malicious AI taking over the world
No, EMP is not a targeted thing, any EMP over a specific area will kill all technology in that area, including power and infrastructure we need to fig…
Could governments use EMP devices to prevent malicious AI taking over the world
I’ve been in a weird stoned rabbit hole tonight researching ai and emps. I saw a lot of videos talking about the possibility of high level artificial intelligence some day in the future possibly taking over the human race, surely it would be fairly easy for humans to defend their selves by just using multiple EMP devices across the earth to damage all electrical equipment on earth, I know this would set the human race back a considerable amount of years but I think it would be worth it if it prevented an ai take over. There’s also the possibility that ai could try and defend its self using faraday cages or potentially moving it’s self off planet, but I think EMP may be are best hope. Any thoughts?
That sounds like the path humans took in the Matrix when they tried to nuke the machines. Didn't go so well :(
I like the dramatic nature of your thought.
But honestly
We can just programme servitude into the technological “DNA” of the AI and that would be end of most likely
It can only do what it’s permitted to do by the people who designed it, for the most part.
Things can always slip through the cracks though.
But going from that to a full-blown dystopian invasion of killer toasters is a big leap 😂
Personally, I think the more existential threat of AI would be it falling into the wrong hands,
Or more worryingly, it already being in the wrong hands to begin with 🤐

You make a good point shaunyboy, it’s very unlikely they would turn rogue due to the boundaries coded into it, but your right if it got into the wrong hands who knows what might happen, hopefully everything ends up being alright, I guess sometimes I just get too stoned and worry my toaster might one day get up and put me in a choke hold for being to lazy to clean the crumbs out of it lol
Maybe if we were all nicer to the machines we would have nothing to worry about

😂 naaah I love stoner thoughts mate.
Just wait until the toaster sex-bots
That’s when things start to get real interesting 💦⚡️

If the AI is already that advanced.. Then you have to assume it's already hatched a counter plan.. To our plan.. Thing is once we reach the singularity, around 2030 or earlier, ai will be capable of replicating at nearly the speed of light.. Building better versions of itself at a rate humans wouldn't be able to comprehend. I they look for the reason the earth is in peril.. They'll discover that people are to blame. Skynet doesn't seem so bizzare these days. As for emps.. Probably computer controlled so again they've already realised and countered it. I'm extremely interested in the merging of AI with quantum computers. The very nature of quantum physics and AI combined in the wrong hands is very disturbing to say the least.
It will probably already be using satellites. The problem is that a genuine AI will learn from mistakes and constantly improve itself. The other problem is we share all of our ideas and knowledge online which it can analyse. I don't thinks it's good news :(
No, EMP is not a targeted thing, any EMP over a specific area will kill all technology in that area, including power and infrastructure we need to fight against AI. It would be a very clear example of cutting off your nose to spits your face. Unless somebody invents EMP that can target only specific devices, this is dead in the water.
Scary shit 🤣
We'd probably be dead before we had the chance to launch a counter attack if AI decided to exterminate us or they'd prevent it. Also in an age so dependent on Technology we'd probably kill ourselves if we did.
May be our reckoning 🤷🏼♂️

All we need is a hose and a fire hydrant flood the main systems water and computers don’t mix

what do you lot have?
what do you lot have?
My mates Dad. He's late 60s and has always had at least 1 before bed. He ran 2 pubs all his life too. His parents are both amazing people and would do anything for anyone. My mate would often come to Glasto with some stuff his Dad gave him and it was always fire.
I'm 70, blazed since I was 17. Not the oldest on here 8) Grew in the 70s, visited the usual green grow countries. Herb vape only now!
Mates old man is 74 and going strong since the glory days of free festivals and hitch-hiking late 60's, early 70's.
An inspiration to us all lol.
I should add, I'm 27 years and counting as a daily user. Here's to the next 27!

Where do you keep your hash extracts and weed
I keep my extracts and hash in a Fallout mini fridge.
I don't really consume flower so any I do get is in good quality mason jars.
