If progress in technology continues at this pace, in a few years we will be able to indefinitely extend the life of mice.
So… The first immortal mice might have already been born. Imagine being a mouse living forever in a small glass box in a longevity museum.

To me THC helps to find relations between concepts. I can think of any problem from a completely different angle. But, 1. I have to take notes to be able to go back to the line of reasoning. 2. Almost all of the concepts are garbage, but the remaining ones, are the best I've ever had. So, THC helps to start with an idea, but delivering value from that idea requires being sober.

I say that mostly because, although this is a solid study with interesting conclusions, 'Cannabis does [amazing thing!]' articles are getting more and more common and mainstream, and I think people are primed to accept them, for want of cures and treatments, for desire to justify existing habits (c.f. the now discredited red wine health studies [2]), and because 'medicine with all these great effects was kept down by the powers!' is a great narrative.
Mostly, I'm finding myself mostly curious what, in 15 years, we'll know these compounds are actually good for, and steeling myself for a lot of bullshit and bad science in the meantime.

What type of mix even is that?
That sort of question is highly personal. I've heard many, many people espousing the virtues of some strain of weed or other (eg claiming it helps you think and doesn't make you fall asleep so much) but I've never actually found one that doesn't primarily make me sleepy. I do have access to an enormous variety to try (and I've definitely done my due diligence, so to speak). This has led me to believe that for some pe…

I'm pretty sure that pot is not an addictive substance. Quitting pot is easier than quitting caffeine. Heavy smokers sober up quite often for job drug tests, for example. I've personally smoked for years and just quit for a while. Some things get a little off because of habit changing: A few days of decreased appetite and a bit of insomnia. The hardest part is dealing with the boredom I get at first. I simply don't w…
I used to agree that marijuana wasn't an addictive substance. And within the same post you state it is nonaddictive, you go on to state all the addictive properties of it. I think it is dangerous and wrong for people to tell everyone that marijuana isn't addictive. It would certainly like for you to think so though. Obligatory, everybody's bodies are different, what works for you might not work for everyone, ymmv, et…

I actually see this as beneficial in a couple of ways. - it's very hard to "self talk" yourself into doing things you don't really want to do - things you do want to do draw an intense level of focus so you get deeper into them - yeah it can make you a little sloppy but you learn from these mistakes and they sometimes lead to serendipitous accidental discoveries - it can cause you to take a no-nonsense expedient appr…
That's very dangerous advice. These substances can warp you mind in irrecoverable ways. Plenty of people also end up in asylums and ER
Too bad it gives me panic attacks.
You're most likely overdosing -- something that's very easy to accidentally do with the crazy strong pot out there these days. It's even easier to overdose for newbies who have basically no tolerance and often mistakenly think they have to smoke a full joint (or even just a full big puff of some strong pot) to get high. That's probably way, way too much. If you are willing to give it another chance, you could try fin…
