Hey Evil Genius, you should be right to kiss/do what ever you want with this girl. HPV is very common and most people that have it will be asymptomatic. I think this high risk comment is in regard to the subtype of HPV (i.e. 16, 18), from which these types have a higher risk of causing cervical cancer. But, being without a cervix, you don't have anything to worry about. Go for gold! ... mind you, STDs like to hang out in groups... just some food for thought.

Aye, tort speaks the truth. While I'd like to say that my viridis is a picture of health, they have actually gone to a better place as I slowly killed them over the course of two years in perth. You really should get one of those mini greenhouses from bunnings, in winter in full sun the moisture in the pot can maintain humidity and in summer with a shade cloth draped over the greenhouse or partial sun... those fuggers get real baking hot in full sun. Actually, I think the primary reason these fine specimens lived for as long as they did is because I brang them in for winter (this was before I made the greenhouse investment). Viridis is a high maintenance bitch in perth.

Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, its your own body immune system that causes the damage rather than the particles themselves, though I don't doubt for a second that this has the potential to lead to some fibrotic lung disease akin to asbestosis/silicosis

I don't personally see this as a problem, it is a personal decision and I'm all for pro-choice. Erowid has a page regarding synthesis, which is surprisingly easy (providing you have access to sodium metal)

It's not that easy. As Anodyne alluded to, methadone/buprenorphine programs are aimed at removing the patient from the drug taking culture (environment, people, crime etc). From a cost/benefit point of view, it makes a lot of sense for the government to subsidise a bit a methadone and related health/counselling services... the decreased crime rate and health costs combined with increased tax dollars from the jobs obtained by these patients means that the program in Australia pays for itself to the tune of several billion dollars. A loss of opiate tolerance only occurs after an extended period of abstinence, this sort of thing just wouldn't happen with a standardised dose. If it did we would have methadone patients ODing all the time. Your tone reminds me of my attitudes towards opioid replacement programs when I first heard of them, before I had worked in a pharmacy or ever met and talked with a patient. You wouldn't even know if your collegue or next-door neighbour was on the program. These are completely normal people who look just like you or I, would have jobs and relationships and feelings and dreams and good days and shit days just like everyone else. For what ever reason they started on the program, all patients are moving on with their lives. I am the first to admit the program is not perfect, but is the best one we have and it's safety and efficacy compared with other programs have been proven around the world for decades.

Domperidone doesn't cross the blood-brain barrier, so there would be no issues for taking this with mesc

If you think thats bad, check out donnalix (containing hyoscyamine, atropine and hyoscine)... available from your friendly pharmacist and it's given to babies for colic!!!!

I have had my first run in with the 'black death' over the course of the summer... it seemed to arrive on an eileen cutting. It has had a breakout on a few of my cacti (all bridgesii) and slowly spreads for a week or two, after which the cacti seems to mount a defense against it and 'walls' off the infection. Alas I am in perth and I have been withholding water for the infected plants...apart from that I cannot offer any further advice but I'm sure someone else can... I hope everything turns out for the best darkhorse

There are a few species of plants with orient themselves in a compass direction (north/south)... I remember reading about it in my SAS survival book. I'll see if I can dig it up OK just found it Silphium laciniatum and the "North Pole " plant ... looks like we have a winner

As soon as you compromise the enteric coating of nexium (by splitting the tablet) you reduce the bioavailability of the dose ingested by 50% due to the acid lability of the compound. That said, the PPIs are a very well tolerated group of drugs but nausea/vomiting/headache are common side effects.... nonetheless the severity of your side effects is puzzling. I would go back to the doctor to eliminate other conditions... ever had an barium meal/endoscopy? Could be pyloric stenosis/hernia or as amulte pointed out a H.pylori infection/induced ulcer. Out of curiosity what other PPIs have you tried? IME they all have similar efficacy.

What would ultimately be gained by the exercise? A shift in public opinion? To get more people to take MDMA? To prevent further deaths from MDMA/drug cocktail overdose? As long as a drug continues to remain illegal, the majority of folks are going to demonise it and look at it as dangerous. For compairson, the NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen and the like) kill over 2000 people in the UK from complications of GI bleeding, and you can buy them at supermarkets and service stations ferchristsake. I love the idea of underground marketing/propaganda, but perhaps used against political targets (as has been traditionally done) would have a greater effect?
