I really think that someone (or maybe a couple people from alt.drugs and a 
couple people from rec.pyrotechnics in a combined effort) should write an 
Anarchist's Cookbook FAQ exposing and debunking its information as utter

	The FOAF who is extracting THC from leaf using Everclear does not have
a soxhlet (sp?) extractor, however she produces good "hash" with the simple
techniques described in old postings. She is interested in something a little
more specific than "a few days" regarding the duration the leaf should be 
immersed, if such information exists. How does a soxhlet extractor work, would
this increase either the quality or quantity of the extraction, and is this
something readily avaliable from a chemistry supply store? 
Thanks.

    There *is* room for reincarnation doctrine in the gospel (or is that
Gospel?? Whatever...)  Jesus Christ (himself!) is quoted as saying John the
Baptist is the prophet Elijah, come back to make ready the way of the chosen

Yeah, you can smoke resin and get stoned.  In fact, resin can get you very  
stoned.  That is one reason why it is good to save a roach.  All the resin  
from the rest of the joint in contained there.  A joint made up of roaches  
is much better than a normal joint.  And the moe times you have roached a  
roach, the better it gets.  A joint with one or more, say third generation  
roaches, is much much better than a first time one.

the most ephedrine i've taken was about 14 in the period of 6 hours (a really
good 'drinking drug' -- allows inhuman ammounts of alcohol consumption).  i
didn't consider myself 'close to overdose' whatsoever, although I did notice
my heart was racing for awhile.  I can't really comment on the healthiness of
taking such high doses, although I guess it's probably not very good (for
the heart, etc.)

ephedrine HCl is _not_ a good drug for sex though.

I believe it's butyl nitrate.  I'm gonna go out on a limb
here and try to be "Dr. Brad" (and hope I don't sound like

It has only been a few days now, but the tremors are starting.
I dream the dreams, crave the cravings, occasionally wake up
startling the cat who somehow knows the truth.  And I wish
I were somewhere else but know not the destination.  Such an
addiction and so difficult to admit: even the most brazen
shall laugh at me in hollow derision, but must I confess in
order to put it all in perspective, or shall I try for a
cure or continue living this way, saving my pennies for the
next box of Panda licorice shipped covertly from a distant
land, a small factory half hidden in a forested hillside,
happy trolls operating giant licorice making apparatus

Keywords: Soil irrigation
Organization: Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link
Date: Thu, 28 Jan 1993 19:32:55 GMT


I am examining what makes some agricultural systems sustainable
 and others not so. In this regard I am interested in historical references
 which deal with certain examples. Specifically in the failure catagory:
 1) The collapse of Mesopitamian agriculture due to erosion and
      salinization.
 2) The deforestation of he middle east and degradation of agricultural
      land.
 3) The failure of early southwest Native American agricultural systems.
 And in the success catagory:
 1) I have "Farmers of 40 Centuries", but any additional references on
     historical Chinese agricultre would be welcome.
 2) Discussions of the success of slash and burn agriculture, and its
      its evolution as the period between burns becomes shorter.
 3) References to other notably successful agricutlural systems, which
     have persisted for long periods.
 I was hoping that a compreshensive general historical work of the
 nature of McNeil's "Plagues and Peoples" had been written on this
 subject but I have not come across it. Of course a reference to such a
 work would be greatly appreciated.

 Responses can be sent directly to me are greatly apprecieated.

                             REVIEW

     These two new genre anthologies clue the reader into what
authors are hot, as well as providing information on where to
procure their other works.
     In the domain of crime and mystery, the staff of Mystery Scene
magazine (a news publication for the mystery field) have collected
an impressive group of writers, with an assortment of plots and
writing styles.  The book begins with Jon L. Breen's critique of
the mystery field for 1990 and 1991.  He says that the genre is
experiencing an "unprecedented boom," with mystery writers
dominating the best-seller lists.  He goes on to describe his picks
for best novels, short stories, and other materials, as well as
listing mystery award winners.
     Included are private eyes, cops, whodunits, and nailbiters. 
My favorite is "Incident On and Off a Mountain Road" by John
Landsdale, where a woman taking a curve too fast hits a parked car
and stumbles upon a gruesome scene.  This one, uncharacteristic of
Landsdale, ends on the upswing.  Other authors represented are Sue
Grafton, Lawrence Block, Charlotte McLeod, Lynne Barrett, and many
others.  This first collection is a thrilling debut.
     If it's terror you want, the kind of blood and guts and veins
in your teeth story that will make you lie in bed, too scared to
turn off the light, "Best New Horror 3" is just the ticket.
     Both of the editors are award-winners, and last year's
offering won both the World Fantasy Award and the British Fantasy
Award for best anthology.  Not satisfied to be as good, this year's
anthology is even better.
     The best of these tales is "Busted in Buttown" by David J.
Schow, a quirky yarn in which a pawn-shop burgler becomes an
involuntary organ donor.  Also of merit is Thomas Tessier's "The
Dream of Dr. Ladybank."  Here, a psychologist discovers that he has
the ability to give mental commands, and his patients become the
recipients of his manipulations.
     Other writers showcased are Robert R. McCammon, S.P. Somtow,
Nina Kiriki Hoffman, and Karl Edward Wagner, and others.  All wish
you bad dreams, and acknowledge that our new vice-president has a
wonderful last name.
