New research shows that the active ingredient in marijuana may prevent the progression of the disease by preserving levels of an important neurotransmitter that allows the brain to function.
Researchers at the Scripps Research Institute in California found that marijuana’s active ingredient, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, can prevent the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from breaking down more effectively than commercially marketed drugs.

Consciousness April 14, 2005
Posted by Phineas in : Discourse, Drugs, Psycho/Spirit , add a commentHow it’s all about consciousness.
“god” is really just nature assigned a consciousness. Belief in the supernatural is all about the idea that consciousness pervades nature. How we as humans are set apart from the animals because of our supposed superior intellect, which is really just our consciousness.
I think of consciousness as a matter of degrees. The surprises that we may have in store for us, later in life, after death, are all about consciousness. What there is to know, to experience. I do not *believe* in anything in particular. I’m quite sure by any measure I am an atheist. On the other hand, I am entirely prepared to be wow-ed by a sudden, unexpected expansion of consciousness at any time. Let’s call the agent of this consciousness-expanding event “grace”. And let’s call the subject of this consciousness-expanding event “God”. But maybe let’s don’t. Cause that’s way too limiting. Such labels, perhaps useful and helpful in the past, are laden with external derivative associations. Maybe they are still useful and helpful in the present, for somebody.
I like to believe that I can arrive at a conventional notion by unconventional means. I can arrive at the notion of grace by way of my experiences with LSD, for example. It blows my mind to go, “Whoa, *thats* grace, man!” To have a meaning in search of a term, than arrive at the term.
So anyway, I don’t believe in Jesus. I just believe in LSD.
Thanks and god bless,
Boo.
