Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
@CrumblingCookie said in Sativa marijuana is peaty:
So pushing THC and prohibiting or muddling with clean tobacco smoking fits well into the trend of a widely known general agenda.
Yup, similar to how traditional gruit was replaced with hops beer. Gruit was apparently consumed by people of all ages and regions had different ingredients.
@CrumblingCookie said in Sativa marijuana is peaty:
but CBG is also a 5-HT1A antagonist at 52nM: Not "peaty" at all.
THC again is serotonergic and exhibits those detrimental effects on gonadal functions, androgenic hormones and fertility etc. as already mentioned before by the others.
Sure, but in the context of classical cannabis genetics CBG % was very low, and THC % also. Terpenes could feasibly mitigate any serotonergic and metabolic effects. A coffee and tobacco would do the rest!
@ThinPicking Aye. Hemp varieties can be a good combo for a more balanced THC experience, CBG and CBD flowers exist. And if adventurous you can customise/enhance your journey using essential oils applied with a toothpick (either direct onto flower or on the rizzla). Or perhaps you already practice more conventional aromatherapy!
Indeed the classical varieties provide more desirable and balanced effects like mental clarity & lucidity, mainly thanks to lower THC levels and more varied cannabinoid & terpene profiles. Classically THC was at ~5–15%, with CBD, CBG + stimulating terpenes. Thesedays THC is at 20+% with low/zero CBD/CBG... thanks to commercialisation re introduction of shorter flowering genetics and focus on higher THC %.
@LucH
Looking at THC alone and making broad conclusions doesn't give an accurate picture of things. There's a complex entourage effect going on between numerous pharmacologically active substances eg cannabinoids (CBD, CBG, THCV) and terpenoids (which are common constituents of plant essential oils eg limonene, linalool, pinene, myrcene). Aromatherapy...
CBD acts to balance THC.
CBG is an α2A agonist which reduces adrenaline and is pro-GABA.
Cannabis terpenes are valuable too... pro-metabolic (phytol), pro-dopamine, anti-cortisol, anti-serotonin (limonene), pro-GABA (linalool), pro-BDNF (beta-caryophyllene).
A seed company called ACE seeds carries many classic "sativa" tropical cannabis genetics, here's the description for one:
Clean, energetic, all in the head 'Feel good!' sativa effect of moderate strength and duration, without ceiling, tiredness in the body or hangover.
How do you define white?
IMO its important to consider that 'caucasian' (also negroid and mongoloid) is not one particular ethnic group/race. that is exactly what 'TPTB' want all of us to believe/accept and it is exactly how they manipulate us to war against each other. and trusting that DNA tests are on the level or even accurate? may aswell trust mainstream historians..

That site is pretty good btw...lots of good discussion, Ray's philosophy even gets mentioned!
@NNight this was many years ago, I don't recall!
As for absorption, silica does not absorb as silica but rather as orthosilicic acid. This is produced by the reaction of water on silica, though the presence of acid increases this conversion.
...
The absorption of silica is very poor so I found the best way to take it is by adding [DE] to water to begin with. I put a large spoonful in a gallon of water and let it settle out. Once it settles out you cannot taste it. The water will dissolve a tiny amount of the silica to form the orthosilicic acid. The more pure the water is to begin with the more it will dissolve.
...
By adding it to a large volume of water you will also get more in to your system as opposed to supplements. If you take a capsule of silica the vast majority will never be absorbed and will just pass through your system. When added to water and drunk throughout the day you will absorb a little each time you drink your water. So in the long run you will end up with more silica entering the bloodstream for use by the body.
@NNight I used to mix DE with water then let it settle and only drink the clear water layer. IIRC the silica is turned into a different water-soluble form?
Indirectly - things that lower serotonin / cortisol
@nothingclever Perhaps some anti-bacterial essential oils (eg tea tree) diluted in a suitable carrier oil that doesnt cause issues (Olive? Coconut? Jojoba?)
Snow goggles are a type of eyewear traditionally used by the Inuit and the Yupik peoples of the Arctic to prevent snow blindness.
@BearWithMe Perhaps something as simple and natural as prune juice?
Pro progesterone effects...
These data suggest that cinnamaldehyde selectively induced progesterone production and inhibited production of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in human adrenal cells.

Also, to bypass any possible heavy metal contaminants maybe the use of cinnamon essential oil could work. Eg, 1 drop in food/drink etc.
Cinnamaldehyde is an aldehyde found in cinnamon bark in high concentrations. It's used as a flavor and medicine. Cinnamon bark is usually used medicinally in doses of 1-6 grams orally. 6 grams of cinnamon can contain from to 42 to 189 mg cinnamaldehyde. Cinnamon contains approximately 1 to 3.5 percent essential oil. The essential oil is approximately 70 to 90 percent cinnamaldehyde.
Less water, more watermelon, cucumber, coconut water and other watery fruit and veg.
@Corngold you can probably guess menthol has the opposite effect!
@LucH
The active called cinnamaldehyde is adrenergic and activates TRPA1 a heat "receptor". Cinnamaldehyde is similar in shape to amphetamine and phenethylamine, two CNS stimulants.
@ThinPicking has a very good point. The materialistic perspective is inherently self sabotage.
@Milk-Destroyer
Have you tried Delamere goat milk?
@Milk-Destroyer
Seems like its used for cows only? So goats dairy...
I wonder if A2 jersey milk is still good
