Wow, an entire article about the benefits of pot and working and no mention from this "Ph.D" about the difference between Indica and Sativa marijuana.
For those too lazy to Google it, Sativa (usually grown outdoors) is great for working (think euphoria, and optimism), Indica (usually indoor) is for relaxing at the end of the day and "zoning out". Think 'body high'
Those FUD commercials you see with the kids deflated on the couch? Indica. The commercials you don't see? Well those would be showing motivated Ph.D students working their ass off after smoking a little Sativa (apparently unaware of the chemistry behind the scenes if this article is any judge).
Lesson for kids: Do your homework (this applies to your hobbies too) If you think just smoking weed will help your studies, at least make sure you're buying the right kind or a hybrid which will give you a little of both.
This seems to be accurate, but I've never been able to find any scientific explanation for the difference in effect. I've heard it attributed to the different ratios of THC to CBD, but I can't find any articles/papers to confirm this.
and for anyone with a chemistry background reading the above, be warned that ordering olivetol is a quick way to get a DEA agent to show up at your door
the 7-hydroxymitragynine precursors are ok but I don't have the capital to set up an industrial synthesis... for any intrigued chemical engineers there is a lot of money to be made here.
Here is the thing. For anyone who's good enough at setting up chemistry equipment to be good enough for you, why wouldn't they rather make a few batches of MDMA or LSD instead. Shit, Shulgin has 3 whole books, which, in addition to being keys from an extraterrestrial into the ways our brain works and we experience ourselves, are also recipes for unique psychedelics.
I could imagine people could make a lot more money then doing your legal shit a lot faster by making those analogues and distributing them at high price to the real heads that hang out at places like Alex Grey art shows or consciousness or AI conferences. You'd make a lot of money by knowing a few interesting people and supplying their scientific and artistic circles with these analogues. You could write a very interesting thesis on the results. And, you'd be advancing science a great deal.
In theory of course. We would never expect authentic scientists and hackers to break the boundaries the authority system have prescribed for them. A good scientist will always obey the authorities, and only look in the allowed places for knowledge about how the world works. Any new lens with which we might perceive reality will be brushed under the rug. In fact, we will always bow down to power and aggressively attack anyone who conflicts with the normal way of looking at the world, just like the original scientists did (huh?). These laws and boundaries are essential to conventional power structures. It's scandalous and completely unhackerlike how close you come to violating these systems of control. My idea was completely hypothetical. You disgust me hippy. :)
Right, which means you need to be aware of what you're buying from your dealer and how it effects you. Buying a big ol bag of Indica, sitting down and taking a few bong rips will NOT help you finish the writing essay or give you the inspiration to code your next application masterpiece. Most likely you'll find yourself sitting on the couch watching some crappy MTV reality show too lazy to get up and fetch the remote.
My point: All weed is not created equal, ask your dealer for the kind you want (and if necessary educate him/her)
You can't grow a 10 foot Sativa plant in our closet. You're better off with a hybrid that's mostly Indica (smaller bushy plants). Which if you're looking for some motivation won't help you a great deal (will help your PS3 high scores though)
You're right, for pure sativas you would need a big closet.
Maybe with a 75% s - 25% i, you can get close enough. (PS: i don't like to mix tech with thc).
