    Go to Green House and meet Arjan and then go to Barney's and meet Barney. See if the Dronkers brothers are still around as well.

    Check out Kali Mist for the best pure Sativa IMO then hold onto the floor. Try any decent Kush strains for a good medicating Indica couch lock and avoid the overhyped Cheese strains like the plague.

    Check out some Diesel strains if you want to Try Cannabis Kafiristanica - Very high CDB content and very low THC for a super medicating high.

     

    nice, I'm staying at the green house, so it's nice to see a recommendation for them..

    I will give your tips a go BF

    And please take pictures and post them here for those of us that have always wanted to go but will never get the chance :)

     

    I most certainly will! :wink:

    For me, it was when I was around 3 yrs old.. My family and I were on holiday.. Cant remember where we were, but I toddled up to an old pinball machine.. The old ones that had a spring on the mechanism that releases the ball.. Well there was a piece of spring that had unraveled leaving a small bit sticking out sideways.. I reached up and pulled it back, when i let it go, the piece of spring tore through my index finger.. I dont actually remember that, (my parents told me the story) But my earliest memory is when my father took me to a tap to wash my wound.. I remember a vision of my hand under the tap, water on, and a lot of blood getting washed away..

    Its funny.. I still have the scar and now my index fingertip is flat.. And I remember the event...

    I think PH is onto it, where it seems that trauma is the best for cementing memories... as well as repressing them...Strange how that works...

    I wonder if there is a chemical threshold between where your brain remembers a trauma or suppresses it....

    not too sure about that article linked in the OP.. not very thorough.

    Im sure there are loads of people out there that would've heard of Santa being invented by Coca Cola

    This is partially true.. The modern Santa we all know was invented by Thomas Nast in 1862. The round, jolly and ruddy faced giver of gifts, dressed in red and white. Previously, Santa was forest coloured, Brown and Green..

    Then in the 1930's Coca Cola decided to advertise Santa, getting thirsty from his long haul around the world, which luckily included their corporate colours..

    A man named Haddon Sundblom is responsible for how every child perceives Santa Claus in the modern day..

    So, the whole idea that Santa somehow embodies Amanitas, based mainly upon his garb is a little silly,,,

    It's not hidden transcendence, it's corporate greed. pure and simple.. Coca Cola wanted to increase sales in winter times!

    DEATH TO SANTA!!!

    Thelema i found a website in which guy claims to have done this yet i cannot load the pictures to see if the cross looks any different.

    http://www.razyboard...-5825277-0.html

    I am unsure as to whether this was a graft, however i have heard many times of this theory which usually leads me to believe that it is at the very least possible.

    edit: read through the last post that essentially nullifies anything i was thinking :(

     

    DS,

    I had a look and could see a couple of pics..some have been removed too.

    If they are grafts, the scion is weed and the rootstock is hops,

    This would increase vigour as the root system is already established..

    I dont think this guy used hops as the scion to produce "cannabinized" hops...

    Still very interesting though

    is there anything to the urban myth of grafting hops onto a marijuana base to produce THC-containing hops? If true, this would be a good way to go.

     

    Just did a little research and found this to be a myth.

    "One of the most persistent myths in marijuana lore concerns grafting Cannabis to its closest relative. Humulus, the hops plant of beer-making fame. The myth is that a hops scion (shoot or top portion of the stem) grafted to a marijuana stock (lower stem and root) will contain the active ingredients of marijuana. The beauty of such a graft is that it would be difficult to identify as marijuana and, possible, the plant would not be covered under marijuana statutes. Unfortunately, the myth is false. It is possible to successfully graft Cannabis with Humulus, but the hops portion will not contain any cannabinoids.

    In 1975, the research team of Crombie and Crombie grafted hops scions on Cannabis stocks from both hemp and marijuana (Thailand) plants 205. Cannabis scions were also grafted to hops stocks. In both cases, the Cannabis portion of the graft continued to produce its characteristic amounts of cannabinoids when compared to ungrafted controls, but the hops portions of the grafts contained no cannabinoids. This experiment was well-designed and carried out. Sophisticated methods were used for detecting THC, THCV, CBD, CBC, CBN, and CBG. Yet none of these were detected in the hops portions.

    The grafting myth grew out of work by H.E. Warmke, which was carried out for the government during the early 1940's in an attempt to develop hemp strains that would not contain the "undesirable" drug 58. The testing procedure for the active ingredients was crude. Small animals, such as the water flea Daphnia, were immersed in water with various concentration of acetone extracts from hemp. The strength of the drug was estimated by the number of animals killed in a given period of time. As stated by Warmke, "The Daphnia assay is not specific for the marijuana drug ... once measures any and all toxic substances in hemp (or hop) leaves that are extracted with acetone, whether or not these have specific marijuana activity." Clearly it was other compounds, not cannabinoids, that were detected in these grafting experiments.

    Unfortunately, this myth has caused some growers to waste a lot of time and effort in raising a worthless stash of hops leaves. It has also leg growers to some false conclusions about the plant. For instance, if the hops scion contains cannabinoids, the reasonable assumption is that the cannabinoids are being produced in the Cannabis part and translocated to the hops scion, or that the Cannabis root or stem is responsible for producing the cannabinoids precursors.

    From this assumption, growers also get the idea that the resin is flowing in the plant. The myth has bolstered the ideas that cutting, splitting, or bending the stem will send the resin up the plant or prevent the resin from going down the plant. As explained in our discussion of resin glands in section 2, these ideas are erroneous. Only a small percentage of the cannabinoids are present in the internal tissues (laticiferous cells) of the plant. Almost all the cannabinoids are contained and manufactured in the resin glands, which cover the outer surfaces of the above-ground plant parts. Cannabinoids remain in the resin glands and are not translocated to other plant parts.

    We have heard several claims that leaves from hops grafted on marijuana were psychoactive. Only one such case claimed to be first hand, and we never did see or smoke the material. We doubt these claims. Hops plants do have resin glands similar to those on marijuana, and many of the substances that make up the resin are common to both plants. But of several species and many varieties of hops tested with modern techniques for detecting cannabinoids, no cannabinoids have ever been detected 212.

    The commercially valuable component of hops is lupulin, a mildly psychoactive substance used to make beer. To our knowledge, no other known psychoactive substances has been isolated from hops. But since these grafting claims persist, perhaps pot-heads should take a closer look at the hops plant.

    Most growers who have tried grafting Cannabis and Humulus are unsuccessful. Compared to many plants, Cannabis does not take grafts easily. Most of the standard grafting techniques you've probably seen for grafting Cannabis simply don't work. For example, at the University of Mississippi, researchers failed to get one successful graft from the sixty that were attempted between Cannabis and Humulus. A method that works about 40 percent of the time is as follows. (Adapted from 205)

    Start the hops plants one to two weeks before the marijuana plants. Plant the seeds within six inches of each other or start them in separate six-inch pots. The plants are ready to graft when the seedling are strong (about five and four weeks respectively) but their stem has not lost their soft texture. Make a diagonal incision about halfway through each stem at approximate the same levels (hops is a vine). Insert the cut portions into each other. Seal the graft with cellulose tape, wound string, or other standard grafting materials. In about two weeks, the graft will have taken. Then cut away the unwanted Cannabis top and the hops bottom to complete the graft. Good luck, but don't expect to get high from the hops leaves. {Smoking any plant's leaves will give a short, slight buzz.}"

    Hey Mate! Hope you're not working too hard..

    Not 100%, but I think THC can remain for up to three days.. I think it has something to do with the cells in you mouth being replaced.. (every24-72 hrs)

    edit: oh... you saw the 3 day thing too??? I'd go with a sicky mate...

    This snippet of cartoon holds more wisdom than most posts made in this thread...

    Yes, irresponsible people should not have children.. But it happens regardless... Not only in this country but in most all over the world..You can whinge, bitch and moan at the breeders, but guess what? your whinging, bitching and moaning will do nothing... idiots will still spawn.. no one in a free world can stop this..

    there are certain people who are forgetting a fundamental reality.... CHILDREN ARE INNOCENT!!

    Read the words and let them sink in for a bit... even have a little think further... again just in case it was overlooked

    CHILDREN ARE INNOCENT!!!

    Its is not the childs fault that the parent/s are too immature to make the informed and prepared decision to create and raise a child..

    again,,,

    CHILDREN ARE INNOCENT!!

    I whole heartedly agree that there are people who take advantage of the system that has been set up to help the legitimately needy, and, that this should not happen...

    But a blanket statement of "we shouldnt help people that have babies" or words to the same effect is utter ignorance..

    Children have no say whether they want to be brought into the world or not.. Does this not come into some peoples thinking?

    CHILDREN ARE INNOCENT!!

    instead of all this bullshit banter, lets all try and kick the ol peanut around and come up with some theoretical solutions...

    now... Cutting support means taking food out of childrens mouths.. yes, even the same mouths that parents will take food from for their own selfish needs.. (junky, gambler, alco)

    what about support in a way that is closer to foodstamps? eg, the mother of a newborn is entitled to x amount of tins of baby formula a month. not cash money, but regulated in a way to ensure the benefits go towards the raising of the child, and not up the arm or down the slots..

    Anyone with half a brain can pick holes in almost any hypothesis.. lets not do that kiddies... For instance, the beforementioned idea, dont pick holes in it... IMPROVE IT!

    And for the re-railment,

    I am a farmer, and agricultural consultant helping to improve the lives of poorer farmers in Viet Nam.
