I don't know about email, but according to the latest issue of The Stark
Fist of Removal, his mailing address is:

Timothy Leary
Box 69886
Los Angeles, CA  90069

This was in the "Other Mutants" section, which is a listing of addresses
of SubGeniuses that wish to correspond; so I assume it's OK to send him
mail at this address.

Hope this helps,

     I'm quite curious to know the legality of the "psilocybin mushroom spores"
advertisements I see in magazines such as "High Times".  Can these be sold
legally?  What are the laws concerning this?  How about when they are sent
across state lines?  I just don't understand how these companies can sell
something that might be used for illegal purposes (namely the growing of
psychedelic mushrooms!)
     Feel free to E-mail me your comments, or post 'em here for the enlight-

I'm not a lawyer but I'm married to one ...

Jurors can be rejected "for cause" during the voir dire procedure
(questioning jurors to determine their fitness to serve).  An
example of this would be a capital case where a prosecutor's
_pro forma_ question of a prospective juror would be whether (s)he
had a problem with rendering a death penalty verdict.  A "yes"
answer would indicate bias and the juror would be excused.
The defense can also ferret out bias in the same way.

There are also preemptory challenges which allow the prosecution
and defense to excuse jurors for any reason at all -- blue eyes,
for instance.  These challenges, however, are limited in number.

It is a bad idea to lie during voir dire.  However, creative
truth telling may get you by the process.

As I mentioned in the portion of my post you conveniently left out -- I don't
have the article handy.  My house is currently a topsy-turvy mess with
issues of Science News in various locations.  One of my future projects is
to organize my magazines and books (most of which are still in boxes) so I
can FIND the damn things!

From memory, I don't believe the cocaine was being used as a topical
anasthetic.  I wish I had the article handy, but I don't.  If anyone has
access to back issues of Science News (an index is published every six months,
so it should be easy to find the article if all the back issues are there),
could one or more people look up this article?

I would be _VERY_ interested to see the study that found smoking any part

of people before and after smoking marijuana seeds?  Or was it just a study

Although I don't believe it, I almost hope he wasn't joking.  Think of it!
Yet another medical use for marijuana - no more need for surgery to prevent
pregnancy - no more vasectomies or tubal ligations!  No more need for "the

Safe and secure AND high in protein too!

They took recent pot smokers -- found that they had lower sperm levels,
and found that it was 100% reversible after a month or two.

Not quite secure.  It depresses sperm levels, but my understanding is not
completely.  'Course you could always use it as that extra line of defense
in case the condom/pill fails.

>On a related question - do marijuana seeds pop in a similar manner to corn?

No.  They explode in a manner more like...  a handgrenade, only just with 
slightly less force.  Still enough to blow a joint apart, or send ashes
flying everywhere...

Receptor up or down regulation.  It'd be damn interesting if it
down-regulated the receptors, in which case it might have anti-depressant
and/or anti-anxiety effects (its pharmacologically similar to buspirone
if I recall correctly...).  Also, it may or may not promote aborization,
and you have to consider its activity on 5-HT synthesis (tryptophan
hydroxylase activity?).  Then there are the rest of the neurotransmitter
systems it might effect...

Personally, my opinion is that if it doesn't kill neurons, its 
positive or negative behavioral effects are going to most likely be
minimal, reversible, and damn hard to detect...

useful patterns for your per-newsgroup kill files include the names of

person and all replies to them. (subjects lines will be displayed so
you know what you are killing) `A' will also add a line to your kill
file to get rid of future postings.

this is useful for when people who post "death to druggies" type stuff
and are never heard from again, but 50+ people immediately reply to them
and all say essentially the same thing.

if you just want to junk all of somebody's postings, but not the replies
to them, change the `/a' to `/h'
