>Would that be Reza's? I believe it is called Josephine's (something with a J) I saw it on a Chicago public access PBS show about restaurants in the Chicago area. Everyone gave it a very good rating! I wrote down the phone number somewhere because it sounded like a LOT of fun. They have belly dancers on Saturday nights.

BRCI Questions
by stephoness inso i was reading through the website and i have a question... do they do any preaching or try to get people to join another religion?
i am considering possibly showing up to the convention but i won't go if they talk about god or jesus and make it into a big christian thing.
i'd love to go if it's more about meeting other xjws and sharing experiences but i do not like being preached at (for obvious reasons).

>Come and meet us. We are staying at the hotel the conference is in.
>We can go out to eat and I promise not to mention the Bible or Christ.
Sounds like a good plan! Once I decide for sure that I am coming, I will definitely let everyone know. I want to meet as many people as possible. There is a nice persian restaurant in Chicago with belly dancers and hookahs on every table, so many good restaurants in Chicago mmm!

Okay thanks for letting me know, I consider myself to be more Pagan than Christian so I probably will leave during any discussions about the Bible. Since I live in Chicago I can just show up anytime I want and leave anytime I want to. I'll definitely call the number you gave me, probably tomorrow when it's not the weekend, and find out more information. Thanks!

bank/credit-card accespoint in JW-convensionhall
by Ozner inthe 2 jw convension-halls in the netherlands have now a bank/credit-card accespoint to give contribution to the wts with your bank or creditcards.
do you know this happens in other country's?
it is really strange to see that brs&srs are giving donations with their visa & mastercards.

Hmmm I don't know how it works in your country, but in America all transactions cost money and they have to pay Visa or Mastercard a small fee for the privelege of being able to use a credit card. They do this at stores too, every time you use your credit card it costs the store a certain amount of money because the credit card companies charge for access. It seems to me that the WBTS would be all up in arms about allowing anyone to get a cut of their profits, even if it's only 1/10 of a penny per transaction (or whatever it works out to I am no good at math).

Since I am an expert, some more information and answers to questions. Note: I am not suggesting everyone should go out and smoke pot, I believe it is a personal decision and just like any drug marijuana can be overused and abused although it is not physically addictive.
>As far as carcinogens, how about a bong?
Using a bong won't cut down that much on carcinogens but, since you don't need to smoke as much quantity as a normal cigarette smoker, you probably won't have to worry to much about it. If you use a bong put a few ice cubes in the water, it will make the water nice and cold and help cut down on coughing. It also has a nice crisp cool feeling when you inhale. If you are looking for supplies, I can highly (heh) recommend this website, I have ordered from them before and they ship fast and the quality of their pipes and such is high.

>Practically speaking, how much does that stuff cost now, been 10 years since I knew the going rate, and how do I find someone who can sell me quality?
Here in Chicago I get a deal on kind bud (high quality, no stems or seeds) from California. It costs me $375 an ounce and that is cheap for around here. I would use kind bud (also called hydro or nuggs) in a bong, if you plan on eating the weed I would suggest something a bit lower quality like schwag or mersch (it will have stems and seeds in it) which is about $175 an ounce. The best way to find a dealer at least for me is smoking up with friends, but if you want to take a chance drive down to a bad part of town and ask where the weed at. You'll probably get ripped off but sometimes you don't. If you live near Chicago I might be able to hook you up as a one-time-only deal.
>How does it feel? Does drinking make it feel better? Where can i get it?
Most times the first time you smoke weed you don't feel anything. The second or third time you smoke it will hit you. It makes you relax, calm, everything seems funny at least at first, you're very mellow and peobably will end up just sitting around being amused by stupid crap on TV. Marijuana is EXCELLANT if you have problems with your stomach, especially vomiting. if you have the flu. smoke a joint for an almost instant nausea cure. When you drink while stoned, the effect of the alcohol is twice to three times; for example if you are stoned and drink one shot of tequila, it will make you feel like you drank 2 or 3 shots instead of just one. I don't reccommend ever mixing drugs just for safety's sake. As I said before the trick to finding marijuana in your area is knowing who can get it and becoming friends with them, unless you want to take chances. If you know someone who smokes weed then hang out with them and ask them to smoke you up so they know you're not gonna bust them. Then ask if they can hook you up and, if they do, make sure you smoke with them as a thank you. Weed etiquette heh. :)

Ingesting marijuana actually will give you a more intense high than smoking it.
I suggest if you want to ingest marijuana that you make marijuana butter on a low heat melt butter in a pan and add your marijuana. let it simmer on a very low heat until the butter changes color, for several minutes. Strain the butter to remove the leaves, seeds, and stems. Use the butter to make any type of food (brownies) just be careful not to cook the butter on too high of a heat because it kills the THC (active ingredient). Here are a few recipes:

Marijuana for epilepsy
by avishai in.
as an offshoot of odrades thread:.
anybody know anything about marijuana for epilepsy?
-

stephoness
From http://www.drugpolicy.org/marijuana/medical/challenges/litigators/medical/conditions/epilepsy.cfm
Clinical experience and emerging research further indicate that marijuana can help control epileptic seizures.(45) Cannabidiol (CBD), one of the primary (and nonpsychoactive) cannabinoids present in the cannabis plant, appears to be of particular benefit, allowing patients who ingest it at certain times to avoid seizure activity. Some epileptics who cannot tolerate other antiseizure medications have been able to use marijuana to successfully control their seizures, without experiencing debilitating side effects.
From http://www.mellowgold.com/medical/epilepsy.html
Some people with grand mal seizures say they can prevent their seizures entirely by smoking marijuana. Others, who suffer complex partial seizures, report that marijuana also curbs their symptoms and prevents loss of consciousness. Marijuana is not considered useful for treating petit mal or absence seizures and may even worsen them.
Some patients find that marijuana works in conjunction with other drugs they are taking. Others find that marijuana works best for them when it is used without other drugs. Either way, these epileptic patients have made marijuana a necessary part of their medical treatment.
People using marijuana to control epilepsy should be aware that withdrawal from any medication that controls seizures may leave you more susceptible to the seizures. Marijuana is no exception. Patients with epilepsy are advised to exercise caution when using oral THC because there is not sufficient knowledge about the convulsive or anti-convulsive properties of the single compound.
