Would you be saying that if your government booted you out of your house and gave it to some jewish settlers who they brought in from another country? I think not..What if that "piece of real estate" was a hospital and your children were dying or your wife had to give birth?
But you couldn't get to the hospital or feed your family because you are second class citizens in an appartheid state?
A state that openly discriminates against you and murders you based on your race and beliefs?
Surely the answer is to leave.
It's a warzone...I don't know anybody who would want to or could happily live under those conditions.
Personally, I'd get the hell out of there ASAP.

Why do Arabs and Jews refuse to face up to the fact that life is too short to die over a stupid piece of real estate?

Good job on the water saving there...

what is it that you want to grow that you think wont do well here?As an ex Melbournian I thought of growing HBWR while I was there...I was told the climate is unsuitable and it would not work...so I didn't bother.
Things do grow well up here. If only I wasn't renting...I'd have a field day.
I am pretty much restricted to growing in pots for the time being.

This is a good one for those long winded message board arguments...

Hey that's cool that a Redlight Runners band member posts here. I believe I have one of your track on my ipod (Hero to no-one). It's on my walking playlist. The JJJ Unearthed site really is fantastic...plenty of talent as well as legal free downloads for all. I'm having a blast checking all these great bands out.

Good luck in beating this. Though I don't have practical advice on herbal/natural remedies that may help to offer. I can say you have my prayers and moral support. What does your GP advise in the way of weaning off painkillers out of interest? I am currently on painkillers myself but I don't want to be...I am keen to get off prescription meds ASAP. It's pretty bad when the medication to take for the purpose of healing ends up making you sicker. Once again, good luck. I look forward to you fully overcoming the hurdle that you face. All the best.

Merry Christmas.

Sweet Dreams Are Made Of CheeseThe age old myth that cheese gives you nightmares has finally been laid to rest this week following the release of a new study carried out by the British Cheese Board.
The in-depth Cheese & Dreams study, a first of its kind, reveals that eating cheese before bed will not only aid a good night’s sleep but different cheeses will in fact cause different types of dreams.
Of the 200 volunteers who participated in the week-long study, 72% slept well every night, 67% remembered their dreams and none recorded experiencing nightmares after eating a 20g piece of cheese half an hour before going to sleep.
A lot of people still believe the old wives tale that cheese gives you nightmares but this study endorses the scientific facts.
“ One of the amino acids in cheese – tryptophan – has been shown to reduce stress and induce sleep so cheese may actually help you have a good night’s sleep,” says Dr Judith Bryans, Nutrition Scientist at The Dairy Council.
85% of females who ate Stilton had some of the most unusual dreams of the whole study. 65% of people eating Cheddar dreamt about celebrities, over 65% of participants eating Red Leicester revisited their schooldays, all female participants who ate British Brie had nice relaxing dreams whereas male participants had cryptic dreams, two thirds of all those who ate Lancashire had a dream about work and over half of Cheshire eaters had a dreamless sleep.
Commenting on the study, Neil Stanley, PhD Director of Sleep Research HPRU Medical Research Centre at the University of Surrey says: "The Cheese and Dreams study conducted by the British Cheese Board is the first study of its kind and suggests that eating cheese before you go to bed may actually aid a good night’s sleep.
What is particularly interesting is the reported effect different types of British cheese have on influencing the content of dreams. It seems that selecting the type of cheese you eat before bedtime may help determine the very nature of often colourful and vivid cheese induced dreams”
The origins of the cheese gives you nightmares’ myth are inconclusive. Some believe that it may have originated from Dickens’ Ebenezer Scrooge, who blamed “a crumb of cheese” on his night-time visitations; others people believe that its origins may lie with a Fifties’ health scare when cheese was found to be problematic for people taking a certain anti-depressant.
“Now that our Cheese & Dreams study has finally debunked the myth that cheese gives you nightmares we hope that people will think more positively about eating cheese before bed,” says Nigel White, British Cheese Board secretary.
“In fact, our results show that eating different types of British cheese can make your dreams more interesting so sleep could now become a whole new adventure.”

Notes to editors
The British Cheese Board’s Cheese & Dreams study was undertaken during a seven day period with 200 participants (100 male and 100 female). Six different types of British cheese were given to an equal number of participants. The cheeses included:
Stilton, Cheddar, Red Leicester, British Brie, Lancashire and Cheshire.
During one week, each participant ate a 20g piece of cheese 30 minutes before going to sleep and recorded the type of sleep and dreams that they experienced.
Cheese & Dream Study Results
Different Cheeses for Different Dreams
* Red Leicester proved to be brilliant for helping participants to get a good night’s sleep – one quarter slept well every single night of the study, and 83% of all nights under the influence of Red Leicester were good sleep experiences. As for dreams, Red Leicester is the cheese to choose if you are feeling nostalgic about your past – over 60% of participants eating this cheese revisited their schooldays, or long-lost childhood friends, or previous family homes and hometowns.
* Stilton -eating participants enjoyed their sleep too – over two thirds had good sleep experiences during five out of the seven nights. However, if you want some vivid or crazy dreams, the King of British cheeses is the one for you – particularly if you are female. While 75% of men in this category experienced odd and vivid dreams, a massive 85% of females who ate Stilton had some of the most bizarre dreams of the whole study – although none were described as bad experiences. Highlights included talking soft toys, lifts that move sideways, a vegetarian crocodile upset because it could not eat children, dinner party guests being traded for camels, soldiers fighting with each other with kittens instead of guns and a party in a lunatic asylum.
* British Brie caused all participants to sleep very well, but dreams varied between males and females; women tended to experience very nice dreams, such as Jamie Oliver cooking dinner in their kitchens, or relaxing on a sunny beach. By contrast, the men who ate Brie experienced rather odd, obscure dreams, such as driving against a battleship, or having a drunken conversation with a dog.
* If you are thinking of changing career, or just suspect there could be a slightly more ideal job out there, snack on a lump of creamy Lancashire before bed and you might get some guidance; two thirds of all Lancashire participants had a dream about work – but only 30% of these involved the participants’ real-life occupations. One ambitious dreamer saw herself as a successful Prime Minister - one of her popular reforms involved teaching useful finance in schools, including how to choose the right mortgage.
* Cheddar -eating participants tended to dream of celebrities, ranging from the participant’s family sitting in a pub with Jordan, to a Glaswegian old firm football match with Gazza and Ally McCoist. Ashley from Coronation Street also featured, as did the cast of Emmerdale - and one lucky girl helped to form a human pyramid under the supervision of Johnny Depp.
* However, if you just want a good night’s sleep without too many dreams, then choose lovely crumbly Cheshire . In this category, over half of all nights were dreamless, while participants stated that 76% of all Cheshire-induced sleeps were either “quite good” or “very good”.

I think ideally governments could fight hard drug use by endeavoring to heal and not punish the individual drug addict.
The first step should be prevention of addiction through education. This is far more preferable than the need to cure people. If we arm kids with knowledge telling them exactly how it is they are far more likely to make intelligent life choices for themselves. They may be offered a drug like GHB but they will know not to go there. Rehabilitation will be averted and lives/futures will be saved.
Secondly the government should make every effort to keep addicts and drug dealers separate. Hospitals/rehab centers should take addicts in without judgement or fear of prosecution. To be an addict is punishment in itself...nothing more is required from these people from society. Our focus should be to heal them. They may be rehabilitated in a safe environment.The dealers and manufacturers are the ones that should be punished. Make the penalties for trafficking and selling drugs tougher. Hit the dealer, rescue the addict and heal them.

Why do people do it to themselves? This whole scenario is so avoidable. People that want to get wasted should stick to alcohol...as dangerous as the excess consumption of booze can be, I consider it much safer than placing one's life in the hands of street criminals cooking up drugs in a dirty lab somewhere cutting it with who knows what.
GHB is dangerous...what the hell are these kids thinking?

Hard to tell by the pic but I'm under the impression you've got them in pots. Put them in the ground if you can they like plenty of root space. I grew them in pots due to my renting situations and this definitely stunted them. In two years + I did not see any seed pods or flowers. Still a nice looking vine to have in the garden though.

Not sure if it's available but seeing the high you are looking for is nicotine based I've thought of an alternative.
1. Place 2 packets of lit cigarettes into glasses burn side up.
2. Put in an empty cupboard.
3. Climb into cupboard.
4.Close door and inhale the vapors.
Hope this helps.

I would have thought using a coffee grinder could be ideal. If you go easy and not push the motor too hard...give it plenty of breaks you should get the results without wrecking the grinder.. Otherwise go the heavy duty blender.

What a fucking joke..Pick any line from the article and there is something stupid written...e.g, 1. New to WA, 2. used for 300-400 years, 3. Locking up 3 men with 2 grams "put quite a dint in the potential for this drug to hit Denmark in large quantities."
And totally agree with you Auxin, way to put it in the spotlight.
Peace and anger
Problem with that quote is that DMT is everywhere in a variety of plants. You just have to know how to extract it. This is crappy journalism.
