Often, the back pins are tightest, since they receive the least wear.
However, that is not always the case.  You pick the pin that needs to
be picked next. With practice, you will develop a fine enough feel that
you will understand what I mean - it generally will be the pin that is

Personally, I believe that alt.drugs should *not* be split. There really
isn't that much traffic on the group, and usually the only time splinter
gruops are appropriate are if a) the total volume of the group is
prohibitively high, and/or b) the specific discussions taking place are
both not relevant to the general group and interfere with the general
group. I just don't see those as being the case.

Another problem -- if we created an .lsd group, wouldn't that obligate
other groups (.marijuana, etc)? Would psilocybin and dmt discussions go in
the lsd group? What about lsa? It's a sticky issue, and likely to cause
more problems than it solves.

alt.drugs has worked very well for a number of years (it was one of the
very first alt.* groups to be formed). Let's keep it that way...

I think a better split would be something like

alt.drugs.pharm(acology)(pharmacology)
alt.drugs.use		(personal experience, social issues etc.)
alt.drugs.misc		(it seems to be a habit to form .misc in splits)
alt.drugs.culture	(drug references in media, music, sixties, etc.)
alt.drugs.international	(most traffic seems to be US-only, this would
			 have news with global interest - sometimes
			 at least I am bored with the US-only view
			 and could take a break while still keeping in
			 touch with stuff of international newsworthiness)

This from earlier discussions of the split.  Alt.drugs.pharmacology
and use are Lamont's ideas.  Perhaps just use/pharm, don't known
if culture/international would work.

The split of alt.drugs seems to pop up periodically, but the consensus
seems to be that it isn't such a good idea.  I could imagine the new
groups would have worse connectivity - nowadays many sites seem to
take less new alt groups as before.  In principle I think the split
would be welcome, though.

You'll all note that this is exactly the kind of responsible self-regulation
that the hysterics would like us to believe does not occur.  I'm sure
that this phenomenon occurs for behaviors from ethanol to sex to nitrous.

Well, you can fit about 1024 hits on a 1" x 1" piece of blotter.  So maybe

If you were performing that synthesis for real you would distill your
solvents over calcium hydride or even sodium metal to make sure they
were anhydrous.  But even so, ethers are not that bad if you're careful.
I used to go through at least a gallon of THF a week when I was doing
chromatography.  But then, that's exactly what you want to do, rather
than have it sitting around for too long.  Never store ethers in bottles
with ground glass fittings!

Nichols concluded long ago that fenfluramine was a false positive.
Although it substitutes for MDMA in rat discrimination studies, it
does not have entactogenic effects in humans.  In fact Dr. Nichols
told me that he's come to a bit of a dead end trying to use
the drug discrimination paradigm to identify new entactogens.
Apparently, the non-neurotoxic substances (such as MDAI) which the
rats considered MDMA-like have proven to be non-entactogenic in
humans.  So he's basically without an animal model for the
entactogenic effect.  He's recently been involved in EEG work,
partially in attempt to identify some unique characteristic of
entactogens.

	I have heard that it is possible to culture Shrooms in 
standard, everyday honey. From what I understand, you put a few
shrooms in a full (or nearly so) container of honey and wait. THe effect
is that the honey becomes psychoactive. I don't know whether you are 
supposed to refrigerate the honey or not (Organic Chemist I am not). One
thing that sounded interesting about it is that once you have cultured 
the shrooms in the honey and partaken of said substance that results from
the process, all you have to do to replenish your supply is add more honey
and the culture will continue to grow within the 'pure' honey.
	Does anyone have any information on this? Has anyone else even _HEARD_
of this process?

LSD is the most powerful hallucinogenic drug known to man.  It takes
only doses as little as 10  micrograms to be effective.  You were
correct about the serotonin.  It is the inhibitor substance (it could be
a protein or hormone) in our brain.  In a normal state of conciousness,
we typically use only 10% of our brainpower at any given moment.  When
LSD enters the central nervous system, the chemical
(d-lysergic acid diethylamide), LSD-25, attactes to the serotonin,
causing the natural resistance to be reduced.  In turn, this causes the
electrical current flowing between the neurons to run with far less
resistance.  If you think of your CNS as an engine, LSD could be thought
of as an octane boost.  It fires more often, with greater effenciency.
Note:  This is a very simplified explaination of what goes on.  To
further understand the drug, i recommend the following book:

   Yes, and the mg/kg rate varies quite a bit from species to species. LSD
fanatics will naturally select the highest one for extrapolation to humans.
Can't afford or find? Even if I had an LSD lab in my basement? Some people do,
you know. 100 g should be enough to do away with someone, I'd say.

It's legal, it's just VERY hard to obtain.  It's a real paradox - X won't 
be relegalized until it's proven to be medicinally useful, and yet that
can't be shown without a large number of tests. :(
