I have always been fascinated by savants, and have wondered if someday we will be able to tap into our own brains capabilities with the use of drugs.
I wonder if a big leap in understanding time, parallel universes, or other big topics will be done by artificial savants, smart people altered by drugs to see and understand things in ways that normal people like us cannot.

What world do you live in? (long read)
by rune inthis is just a little babble of mine.
once you are finished i would really appreciate if any of you could take the time to flesh out just what existence and the world is to you.
describe the sensation, the feeling with which you generally take it...everything to do with your perception.

by OpenFireGlass inwell for starters i do have a prescription for cannabis (insomnia / depression).... why would i want to take pharmacuticals for insomnia/depression?

(if you/i grow cannabis it's more/less free)... now the moral issue... who is more likely to beat the shit out of their kids?

All creatures want to "feel good". Man happens to have the technology and intelligence to make it happen. Monkeys would smoke pot, but they haven't figured out how to roll joints yet. (Watching them try is a real hoot!) As far as saying "Jehovah" created pot for our enjoyment... Well he also created arsenic, nicotine, poison ivy and mosquitos. I tried smoking mosquitos once when I was drunk. That sucked....

HELP!! ** Do you have a stop smoking strategy??**
by brutusmaximus inok, ok, i know it's bad for you and it uses up your cash but i need to stop but i quite like it.
i should never have started (heard that before) but hey ho what's done is done.. did you have a puff and if so did you manage to quit?

As for cravings, 4mg nicotine gum for the first 4 to 6 weeks. The 4mg stuff will stifle even a strong nicotine craving. Then switch to 2mg. The 4mg stuff keeps you hooked if you don't make the switch to 2mg. The rest is psychological and a will to quit. The nicotine gum gets you through the physical withdrawl.

Its always funny to see stoners compared to drunks. OK, yes, stoners are better than drunks. You feel proud Openfireglass? No offence though... I have my problems.

Yosemite is home to 90 species of mammals in seven orders, including marsupials, insectivores, bats, lagomorphs, rodents, carnivores and hooved animals.
There are 9 species of chipmunk at Yosimite. With those little legs, it was a long walk for them from the ark... -
