With all due respect Shulgin what are you raving on about? I don't know anyone in the administrative or promotional or academic or pharmaceutical drug business in NZ, as you should have gathered. I have been interested in legal highs since working in the health sector in the UK 2005 onwards with strange ones like Meow causing problems there. Found your first post on different forms of inhaling or smoking one of the Highs (can't recall which one you quoted) really good and well written and it seems all downhill from there. Why?
-
Shulgin, I don't want to censor or ban you, but I need you to take it down a few notches, please.
And you've made your point about Stuart Mills (and Ross Bell) repeatedly now. Please, no more.

sure russell no problem...I'll go away.

From 1916, the cover of the door-stop sized Library of Health says it all, really...

I think the government is creating a void that will obviously be filled by something and to do so blindly in a knee jerk fashion seems to be bad governance, intentional criminalisation of a large portion of the population and worse.

You don't have to go away, just ease up a bit.

Soo, no change there then. Thanks Nactional, UFked up.

I like this Brian Rudman article. The man makes sense.

I think the new name for Dunne should be “Silver Hammer”.
The suggestion that John Key has lost his moral compass with his suggestion that "Other Jurisdictshuns, or Rats, are better places to test this shit rather than here, with us bunnies.
I guess that must have some baring on the strength of the Silver Hammer's personality.

Wowzers. Latest batch of pill tests from the Erowid-manage EcstasyData.org:
ONE of the EIGHT pills they tested had actual MDMA in it. And they couldn't even identify some of the shit.

"You can ban drugs, but you can't ban chemistry"
hope that link is acceptable...longer than a sound byte..and even Beatles in it!
Drugs: regulation & harm. Professor David Nutt
...he makes so much sense...i guess that is why he was sacked and marginalized..
take care out there...in the silk road.....

Re Rudmans article - he is spot on. But humans are not the only mammals seeking seeking highs.
Apparently juvenile dolphins congregate in circles and pass puffer fish between themselves to get high. Bonus: this article features the excellent fake turtle cam which helped catch the incriminating footage (hilarious):

Both great clips Shulgin, thanks.
re: 'you can ban drugs but you cant ban chemistry'... Mike Power describes the cultural shift accompanying the synthetics industry well.
Ok, he is from the UK and does not live in NZ, but can we vote him in at the next election?! What he is saying makes sense. -
I put a post on the Heralds site the other day and, remarkably, got a sane and interesting response in respect of the Cultural shift toward illicit drugs and the Puffing Dolphins…

“""legalise the safe ones. Mushrooms, mescaline and peyote, all have been used for thousands of years and have been shown to be safe. And marijuana, the most widely used drug in the US."* If that had been done, there wouldn’t be any of the synthetics, “which are far more dangerous”.” 100% correct. The problem is the “Do Gooders” that want to control everybody else’s lives while keeping their eyes closed to reality on the grounds that “Drugs are bad, M’kay” Alcohol and Tobacco are known to be far more harmful that the occasional “Joint” but accepted by society as fine if used in moderation but mention cannabis or any other natural recreational substance and we are told they are a gateway to hell and the Devil himself. Dunne, in his infinite wisdom, decided that synthetics were preferable to the natural substances that have been used for thousands of years, playing God much? And they say its the “Druggies” that don’t want to face reality.”Graham – Howick
Drugs such as you mentioned have been used for thousands of years. However their use was generally restricted to ritual/religious/war use. Alcohol on the other hand was used in many countries as a food and water substitute because of a) the lack of food and b) The water was to dangerous to drink.The use of drugs/tobacco and alcohol the way it is used today is a relatively new phenomenon. Some one realized their was a market and money to made. Hence their use changed from the ritual/religious/necessary/war to a commercial setting bringing about the problems and debate we have today.
Not that Dolphins have much truck with ritual/religious/war scenarios.

Legality of Cannabis by Country
Interesting read and graphic. Apparently legal in North Korea but you never know what really goes on in North Korea.
Uruguay seems to have gone the most sensible way, legalise and tax.
And who would have thought those up tight Swiss would allow you to grow your own?.
As for India The joint campaign: Should we not legalize recreational use of Cannabis?
We seem so backward and ignorant here. -
Peaches Geldoff od's. Tox report.
Now here is a drug (Heroin) that really has no way of determining strength, unless you chase the Dragon which is the natural process. Once it's in powder form ,and once people shoot it up, an overdose can occur within a minute and that is all she wrote. An overdose is just nodding off and not coming to, for those not in the know. Very simply though, one leaves the world. Sometimes one is not alone and help arrives in time. Sometimes friends can bring you around in time and if they monitor you ,you will survive. Guaranteed though an overdose will not stop that person having another dose until they decide to give it away, if ever. I suspect it's the same with all drugs but some people can just decide to indulge occasionally and that really is what works for cannabis. Shooting Heroin takes some people away but that is a given and I dont think it is a problem. It's a natural order. jmo -

So this story popped up this morning in the national news. Apparently a group of legal high retailers have started to organise and lobby in favour of a system like the new regime discussed in this thread.

Turns out this was in the pipeline all along ...
The Psychoactive Substances Regulatory Authority has withdrawn and recalled six products on the basis of adverse effect reporting.
This casts an interesting light on Peter Dunne's claim that available reports could not be linked to any particular products.

I see what you did there…
That document you linked to there is the press release? dated 1 May?
Did yo mean This One? dated 27 January.
They have known for 3 months and done nothing about it until now.
How's that for public safety?'
Post your response…
