when i was in high school i was on the quiz bowl team and a similar thing came  up.  the deal was they named a character from Shakespeare, and we named the
play in which he/she was a main character...so one of the characters was
Mark Antony.  So I said, "Antony and Cleopatra."  the guy sez, "wrong, "Julius
Caesar."  So I said, "I think Mark Antony was in "Antony and Cleopatra," too.
He wouldnt give it to us until after the match was over and they went to consult
an English teacher...

AT the end of WWII, there were several hundred thousand Japanese speed
freaks.  The Japanese had encouraged the use of amphetamines to keep the
productivity of the factory workers up.

There ahave been other reports of stimulant use by troops, eg, in China
last year.

You probably want to watch the movie "Jacob's Ladder", by the way.

You posted an article linking recreational doses of cocaine to several
health-related problems.  The article made no claims about lethality of
those conditions,  nor did you.  My ex-pre-med wife[1] believed that the
conditions listed in the article were not generally life-threatening.

Multiple people pointed out that there was no evidence in your article
indicating that the medical problems caused by recreational doses were
life-threatening,  despite your claims in that self-same article that
they were.  Just because a health problem has a complicated name like
"acute myocardial infarction"[2] does not mean that it is life-threatening.

I wish *you* did...  (The article you quoted was fine,  but your analysis
was clearly faulty.)  Incidentally,  anyone still have a copy of it on-line?
I could have sworn I saved it,  but now I can't find it.

Note:  I don't really believe I'll have any effect on Doug;  after all,
he quite clearly failed to understand all of those posts that pointed out

This makes me angry, the suggestion that anyone who favours drug
legalization MUST be taking the drugs themselves.  The atmosphere is
getting closer to the Red Scare more each day.

Of course, I wouldn't expect the sheriff to be supportive considering how
much his department is probably profiting from civil seizures.

5 or 6 sets of genes? Don't think so.

Well, you can order some mycelium from the Florida Mycology Research
Center, address and other info in addresses FAQ. You need to use a business
or university letterhead (really tough if you work somewhere) for various
Psilocybe cultures, not for Lepiota peele though. It's supposed to contain
a legal tryptamine, which produces a nicer trip with less physical
effects than psilocin. FMRC's prices are very reasonable, a Lepiota peele

IT'S OK, I DIDN'T INHALE

I 've just returned from the Clinton victory party here in
Madison.

Arrived sort of late, missed the TV crews, but the stunt was still
interesting. Lit up a joint and all the suits fled the room.
Couple of the younger Clinton fans and the volunteer coordinator
stuck around to hear a message I hope will be delivered. Told them
unless Bill admits he enjoyed the pot he didn't inhale, we will
collect the 2,000 signatures to put Jack Herer on the Wisconsin
Ballot as a Grassroots Party candidate for President in November.
Reminded them I had recieved 13,000 votes in my Republican primary
race for Governor in 1990, and that those 13,000 could be their
margin of victory or defeat in this state in November.

This stunt is repeatable. Show up at his HQ or a local function
carrying only 1 joint. Fire it up, blow some smoke around the
room. Say "It's OK, I didn't inhale." Leave a printed message.
Post an account to talk.pol.drugs.

_Emperor_ would be useful, but I'll warn you that it is quite biased in a lot
of what it talks about.  I guess it's an ok source, but there are far better
references available.  The most useful part of _Emperor_ is its collection of
newspaper articles and stuff in the second half of the book.  (stuff like the
transcripts to the actual senate/congress hearings that led to marijuana's
prohibition, etc.)

If you can get a copy of _The Marijuana Medical Papers_ , it's a FAR better
source, in my opinion.  It may be a little out of date, but it contains tons
of actual medical studies, with lots of useful info.  There is also a
brilliant essay written about the steps that led up to prohibition.

imported from China...they were used as filler in bird seed mixtures.
He reported that they were still germinable upon arrival (they would

Date: 16 Apr 92 16:52:22 GMT
Organization: University of Georgia, Athens

My first delysm experience ended up with much of the same effect that your
firend had had. No visuals, actually not much of anything except a small amount
of visual distortion. I had almost given up hope on it altogether. However,
after doing alittle research on the product and doing alittle math as well,
I noticed that the 3oz. bottle of delysm was equivalent to around 6oz of
Robotussin. So I decided one more 'experiement' was in order to determine
the effectiveness of this orange tasting medicine. I decideded also that the
small amount of alchoal in the Robo Max. Strength may also act as a catalyst
to the effects of dextromethorphan (seeing that most medical journal claim this
effect with alchoal). I decided that I would try a combination of Robotussin
with the Delysm. I combined 6oz of the Robo (I usually do eight) and 2oz of
the Delysm. Aftering being let down before of the Delysm, I was not expecting
any result except maybe a shortcut to drinking that cherry flavored sh**.
The trip started much like the other robo experiences that I had had.
However, around 4 hours later when the visuals where usually experiencing the
the 'coming down' effect, my images where retaining their intensity. This
lasted for aprox. 3 hours futher. It seems to me that the desylm didn't produce
a different effect, but just prolonged the duration of the trip. Noted however,
I prolonged the coming down effects as well. I found myself attenting my class
the next day with the two dimensional visual effect. This phase of the trip
lasted for another 4-6 hours. I has completely striaght around 6 o'clock pm.
Almost 20 hours after injesting the syrup.

I have only done delysm once three times total. This is mostly due to its 
duration. With a job on the weekend, the only time I have to do dextro. is 
during the week while attending school. With the trip lasting up to 24 hours,
it makes doing it rather risky to my GPA.

I would like to find however a right combination between Deylsm and Robo.
Maybe those with alittle spare time could add some input.\
