Thanks for the heads-up LW!

Intoxication is the most common cause of alcohol-related problems, leading to injuries and premature deaths. As a result, intoxication accounts for two-thirds of the years of life lost from drinking. Alcohol is responsible for:

    * 30% of road accidents
    * 44% of fire injuries
    * 34% of falls and drownings
    * 16% of child abuse cases
    * 12% of suicides
    * 10% of industrial accidents

As well as deaths, short-term effects of alcohol result in illness and loss of work productivity (e.g. hangovers, drink driving offences). In addition, alcohol contributes to criminal behaviour - in Australia over 70% of prisoners convicted of violent assaults have drunk alcohol before committing the offence and more than 40% of domestic violence incidents involve alcohol.

Pretty cool!

I'd be interested in buying or trading.  I especially like the Anadenathera seeds and pods.

(02-24) 04:00 PDT Sacramento --

California would become the first state in the nation to legalize marijuana for recreational use under a bill introduced Monday by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano of San Francisco.

The proposal would regulate marijuana like alcohol, with people over 21 years old allowed to grow, buy, sell and possess cannabis - all of which is barred by federal law.

Ammiano, a Democrat in his third month as a state lawmaker, said taxes and other fees associated with regulation could put more than a billion dollars a year into state coffers at a time when revenues continue to decline.

He said he thinks the federal government could soften its stance on marijuana under the Obama administration.

"We could in fact have the political will to do something, and certainly in the meantime this is a public policy call and I think it's worth the discussion," Ammiano said. "I think the outcome would be very healthy for California and California's economy."

A spokeswoman for the Drug Enforcement Agency in Washington, D.C., declined to comment on the proposal. A White House spokesman referred to a statement on a question-and-answer section of an Obama transition team blog that says the president "is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana."

While Californians have shown some tolerance for marijuana, such as use for medical conditions with voters' passage of Proposition 215 in 1996, the proposal will face tough opposition in Sacramento.

A lobbyist for key police associations in the state called it "a bad idea whose time has not come."

"The last thing our society needs is yet more legal intoxicants," said John Lovell, who represents the California Peace Officers' Association, California Police Chiefs Association and California Narcotic Officers' Association. "We've got enough social problems now when people aren't in charge of all five of their senses."

But Ammiano's proposal has the support of San Francisco Sheriff Michael Hennessey, who said the idea "should be the subject of legislative and public debate."

It also has the backing of Betty Yee, who chairs the state Board of Equalization, which collects taxes in California. An analysis by the agency concluded the state would collect $1.3 billion a year from tax revenues and a $50-an-ounce levy on retail sales if marijuana were legal.

The analysis also concluded that legalizing marijuana would drop its street value by 50 percent and increase consumption of the substance by 40 percent.

A spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project, which advocates for reform in marijuana laws and is backing Ammiano's proposal, said any expected increase in consumption is a "false notion."

"They are making an intuitive assumption that a lot of people make that really does not have that much evidence behind it," said Bruce Mirken, the group's spokesman, who predicted it could take up to two years before the idea wins legislative approval.

"Don't tell me that doing something like (this) proposal is going to introduce another drug into society. That's a load of bull."

true... maybe i should save these extracts and get 5x... but I really dont want to wait days to be able to do that, can I just put a far less amout and hope it will be equivalent to the 5x? Thanks, any help is truely, greatly appretiated...

Hey, please consider this one... I am a newbie to Salvia. I am really into meditation and have been for over a year now and have now fully dedicated myself to become spiritually Awakened one day by meditating everyday and finding all the knowledge to gain this Enlightenment. A lot of crap has happened in my life especially recently... but ok trying to keep this simple and straight up...

I am 17 years old. My personality is probably unlike any other. probably partly due to the fact that I been an on and off pothead since I was about 14... But now I decided to let it all go and quit that crap for good due to the fact of the knowledge I have gained from recently reading "The Navigator" by Eric Pepin, My one and only role model, who is one of the truely awakened spiritual persons on the face of this beautiful planet, and how I got into Meditation by using his foundation Meditation set.

Anyways, the way I think is probably considerably unique... I tend to not let emotions get the better of me. I try to find the simplest ways to do things, and I can learn things fairly fast if I realy want to and commit myself. I like to focus on tackling one task at a time effectively rather than worry about other things even if they are equally important althought I could be fairly good at multi-tasking, as I play the piano. Although I really do enjoy being around people who are honest and open minded, I do feel somewhat uncomfortable around people who are cocky or only live life to get attention or who are very limited to their way of thinking... Although I could deal with it.

I guess the reason I didn't quit smoking weed before, (the only substance I used besides alcohol), Is because where I live, Is so boring, ALOT of people smoke weed. And also due to the fact that weed affects me, or I should say affected me, (since I build up considerable tolerance to the drug) in a way where it was such a desireable feeling and I enjoyed that way of thinking. But now I realize it would only slow my awakening, and although I did take a few big breaks from it, My last one being about 9 or 10 months, It wont ever hit me like it did the first year or 2 due to the nature of me still growing and my brain becoming more developed so to speak.

Anyways, I will get to where im at now... With weed out of me now but still around me, (I say now because I took my final hits today with some friends before I decided to let it go), I am fully commited doing whatever it takes to open my mind In a safe, effective matter...

Another thing that must be noted, is that a part of my brain, seems to constantly wanting to know what is going on or what another person is thinking or feeling if i am around somone. At times, when I least expect it, for like a nano second, I could tap, sort of speak into the other person and I feel what they feel or their personality. I guess due to the fact that I meditate on my mind chaukra... this is uncontrollable for me and I only want to gain more control of it, of course in a responsible manner.

 Oh and I do have De Ja Vu moments and is it is becoming more profound with time and meditation. But it is in a way, again, when I least expect it and it happeneds in a way for me, that by the time I try to analize why I had it, it makes little to no sense to me, which should become revalational with time foward as it probably has something to do with memory. (Weed limits memory)

My first Salvia experience was last night, at a friends house in his bedroom. Boy was it a beyond bad experience. It was with a water-pipe using a normal lighter. Since I got the Salvia at a headshop in Austin, TX, where I visited my sister, who bought it for me, I am not sure of the equalivalent of the "X" potency it is. They were sold in little boxes, and were catergorized by color, starting with green, orange, red, purple, then gold. My guess is that its 10x, 20x, 30x, 40x, 60-80x?... not too sure.

Anyways, they were sold by the half gram. So I told her to buy me the Red and Purple since the man didn't allow us the gold. (Now that I think of it, I am glad of it as I dont think I am ready for it) Which came out to $50.00. Now at this point I am very happy thinking that when I do it, I am going to have an extraordinary trip that will uplift me. So not the case.

Anyways, I waited pateintly for the next few days to do it when I get back home. When I finally arrived I eagerly called a friend and told him of the Salvia I got, so he invited me to spend a night. When we got to his house, we chilled in his room for a good 3 hours before his parent feel asleep and he let me take a shower before we were to light up the Salvia.

Him, wanting to trip already, and Me, not knowing what to expect and getting nervous by the minute before lighting it, (last meditation session was about 15 hours before this and it wasn't the best session) I open the Red box, and get enough for 2 bowls ready. He took the first hit, a casual hit. Then me not knowing if I was ready, finish his bowl, then I pack in the 2nd bowl, and take a huge hit...... (by the way, I hadn't smoked weed about a week before this day)



I Kept it in for a good 15-20 seconds. The next things I know all my senses are gone, and I start to panic. I start getting very confused and disoriented. I remember I was panicing and the trip getting worse by the second. I also remember me trying to make sense of it all as the trip got worse. I Remember feeling a force pulling me down and all I could make out was the little visionary sense I had, but my memory failing even worse at this point. It seemed everything in the room was against me. The unknown force stacked in my mind constantly and made the trip worse making me think that this was the end and there was nothing I could do about it. And the more I tried to just surrender the more paniced I seemed to get. I though this force was going to take me somewhere and I wouldn't be able to return. Then the trip was finally over and only left me with mixed feelings, probably confusion being most the profound... As a came back, All I hear is my friend saying "life is good" I almost felt like crying, but more relieved that it was over. I remember sitting on the chair next to the bed, and I dont remember how i got from the bed to the chair... I was also sweating as if I sprinted a mile. Turns out it all happened in about 8 minutes. To me, I wouldn't know. It felt so long yet so fast... but probably more fast since I didn't remember most of it....

I was so tired and I just wanted to relax and be happy that I am finally back and not think about what happened. So he put a movie and I feel asleep after about 45 minutes... No dream recollections... When we woke up, I demanded to know what happened. and It turns out after I took the hit, I did panic, feel off the bed and I kept slurring "Help" for  5 minutes as I just grab on the edge of the bed from the floor, holding on for dear life. Then I got up and walked around the room feeling the walls and then sat on the chair. I do remember me holding on the bed, but It felt like I was on the other side of the bed he said I was. And I remember everything looking so fake. I was in a cartoon of hell... It was a bad trip for my friend and an extremely bad trip for me...

I dont want that to happen again. I was thinking next time I smoke my salvia with either a different sitter in a difference environment, or by myself in my room with a less hit with complete darkness, and either complete silence or the meditation music with binural technology on my ipod... I know I could have a good trip. And I guess the reason I had that bad trip is because there was someone else in the room. And that part of me that demands to know what is going on magnified and that is why I simply paniced and sweat. And of course my next experience will be after a good meditation session...
