"Mr. and Mrs. America -- you are wrong. I am not the King of the Jews nor am I a hippy cult leader. I am what you have made of me and the mad dog devil killer fiend leper is a reflection of your society . . . Whatever the oucome of this madness that you call a fair trial or Christian justice, you can know this: In my mind's eye my thoughts light fires in your cities." -- statement issued by Charles Manson after his conviction for the Tate-LaBianca murders

31. In addition to exposure to deadly radiation, the Apollo astronauts would have been pierced by thousands of micrometeoroids.

32. How could the astronauts survive in the heat of the Moon's day? Objects that are heated cannot be cooled by space.

33. The Apollo guidance computer had the equivalent computing power of today's kitchen appliances, far less than that required to go to the Moon.

34. The computer technology did not exist in the 1960's to build the Apollo guidance computer.

35. The astronauts' movement inside the Lunar Module would change the center of mass, throwing the LM off balance, and making it impossible to control.

36. How could the untested Lunar Module land flawlessly six times on the Moon when its prototype crashed on Earth during training.

37. How could the untested Lunar Module land flawlessly six times on the Moon when its prototype crashed on Earth during training.

38. The sound of the Lunar Module descent engine should be heard in the Apollo audio, but there is no such sound.

39.The powerful engine of the Lunar Module should have produced a blast crater, yet there is no evidence of a blast crater in any of the Apollo photographs.

40. A large amount of dust was generated during the landings, yet no dust can be seen on the Lunar Module footpads.

41. The astronauts make deep footprints around the landing site, yet the Lunar Module exhaust should have blown the area clean of dust.

42. The Lunar Module weighed about 17 tons, yet the astronauts' feet seem to have made a deeper impression in the lunar dust.

43. Moisture must be present in soil for it to form footprints, yet the Moon is a totally dry world.

44. The astronauts could not pass through the tunnel connecting the Command Module and the Lunar Module with their spacesuits and backpacks on.

45. The astronauts could not have egressed the Lunar Module because they could not fit through the hatch and there was insufficient room to open the hatch in the LM.

46. The Lunar Rover was too large to fit in the Lunar Module.

47. Some photographs show the Lunar Rover on the Moon with pneumatic tires while other show it with wire mesh wheels. Pneumatic tires will explode in a vacuum.

48. The pressure inside a spacesuit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.

49. Video footage of the Lunar Module's ascent from the Moon should show an exhaust plume from the engine, yet there is no visible plume.

50. Photos from the Space Shuttle show a glow coming from the engines and thrusters, thus proving an exhaust plume should be seen coming from the Lunar Module's engine.

51. The fuel tanks of the Lunar Module were nowhere near one-sixth the size of those on the space shuttle, as one would expect to achieve lunar orbit.

52. When Apollo 17's Lunar Module lifted-off the Moon the video camera followed the ascent, yet no one was left on the surface to operate the camera.

THIS ONE GOES OUT TO EVERY ONE THAT AGGREES THAT STEPHAN IS FUCKING DUMB AND IM RIGHT AND ALOT SMARTER THAN HIM AND WHAT CAN I SAY ITS ALL TRUE SO HEY STEPHAN EVERY ONE AGGREES WITH ME SO..... FUCK YOU....... HAHAHA

PART II 20 MORE REASONS WHY THE MOONLANDING WAS FAKE

21. Two video clips, claimed by NASA to have been taken at different locations many kilometers apart, show an identical hill.

22. Apollo 16 photographs show a rock with a clearly defined "C" marking on it. This "C" is probably a studio prop identification marking.

23. Crosshairs, etched into the cameras, are visible in the Apollo photos, however in some images there are objects that appear to be in front of the crosshairs; an indication that the photos have been faked.

24. Some of the Apollo video shows the American flag fluttering. How can the flag flutter when there is no wind on the airless Moon?

25. Some of the Apollo video shows the American flag fluttering. How can the flag flutter when there is no wind on the airless Moon?

26. When astronaut Alan Shepard hit a golf ball on the Moon, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right, yet a slice is caused by uneven airflow over the ball.

27. The Apollo crews were launched into space but never left Earth orbit.

28. NASA used its TETR-A training satellite to transmit data to Earth to simulate transmissions from the Apollo spacecraft. This way ground controllers were fooled into believing they were receiving real data.

29.To reach the Moon astronauts would have to travel through the Van Allen Radiation Belts, resulting in lethal doses of radiation.

30. Intense radiation from solar flares would have killed the Apollo astronauts in route to the Moon and back.

HERE ARE 20 REASONS WHY THE MOON LANDING WAS FAKE

1.The likelihood of success was calculated to be so small that it is inconceivable the moon landings could have actually taken place.

2.Every Apollo mission before number 11 was plagued by about 20,000 defects apiece. Yet, with the exception of Apollo 13, NASA claims there wasn't one major technical problem on any of their Moon missions.

3.The poor video quality of the first moon landings was a deliberate ploy so nobody could properly examine it.

4.There can't be any pictures taken on the Moon because the film would melt in the 250° temperatures.

5.Every Apollo photograph appears to be perfectly composed, focused and exposed, despite the fact the astronauts used cameras without viewfinders and light meters.

6.The black sky should be full of stars, yet none are visible in any of the Apollo photographs.

7.The astronauts should have seen a beautiful star-filled sky above them, yet they never mention it.

8.There are several photographs of objects that are in shadows, yet they appear lighted and with surprising detail. Objects located in shadows should appear totally black.

9.In many photographs the shadow side of the astronauts appear illuminated, while the shadow side of rocks appear totally black.

10.Shadows cast on the lunar surface should be parallel. Some shadows in the Apollo photos are not parallel indicating more than one light source, thus the photos are fakes.

11.Apollo 11 footage shows the astronauts' shadows increasing and decreasing in length as they move about. This is because they are in close proximity to a large artificial light source that causes their shadows to change as they move toward or away from the light.

12.Many Apollo photographs show lighting "hot spots", as well as a darkening of the surface toward the horizon. Sunlight should not produce hot spots, nor should the surface fade in an airless environment.

13.Some Apollo photographs show mysterious lights in the shadowy background that appear to be studio spotlights.

14.Only two men walked on the Moon during each Apollo mission, yet there are photos in which the astronaut reflected in the visor has no camera. Who took the shot?

15.In an Apollo 11 photograph of Buzz Aldrin the horizon is located at eye level; however, if the camera was mounted to Neil Armstrong's chest, the horizon should be at chest level.

16.There is one photograph of an astronaut standing on the surface of the Moon in direct sunlight, yet he casts no shadow, which is impossible.

17.Not one still photograph matches the video footage, yet NASA claims both were shot at the same time.

18.If Neil Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who shot the video of him descending the ladder and taking his initial steps on the lunar surface?

19.Two photographs show an identical mountain background, yet in one the Lunar Module is present while in the other the LM is absent. The mountain scene must be an artificial backdrop.

20.Two video clips, claimed by NASA to have been taken at different locations many kilometers apart, show an identical hill.

all of this goes out to Victoria thanks for kicking me in the balls so hard

P.S. i will post 20 more reasons, but for now enjoy all this

Taking magic mushrooms

Some common sense advice on using / taking magic mushrooms

Magic mushrooms may have a profound impact

First of all: we don't advocate the consumption of magic mushrooms! This page is provided "as is" and for informational purposes only. It's not intended as a hands-on manual for consuming magic mushrooms! Second: Taking magic mushrooms is not without dangers. You should be aware of these DANGERS before you decide to go tripping on psilocybe mushrooms. Third: Below you'll find some common sense advice on taking magic mushrooms. If you decide to take magic mushrooms, take also this advice. Also, follow the links at the right side of this page.

Taking magic mushrooms: DO-S

(1) Start with a low dose.
Never take more than 1 gram of dry magic mushrooms. Wait for 90 minutes. If you feel OK and want to intensify the experience you could take some more.
(2) Make sure there is nothing on your head for the next 24 hours.
No work, no school, no visiting of friends or family, no care for children or pets, JUST NO NOTHING!
(3) Make sure to trip in a relaxed environment.
Busy environments with lots of people and noise may cause an information overload. Choose an environment where you are not bothered by people not involved in the experience. Choose a calm, natural, preferably rural place, where you can enjoy the wonders of nature. Choose a place that is familiar to you, a place you know and where you feel save.
(4) Make sure to trip with people you know, like and trust.
Preferably there should be someone around that is not involved in the experience.

Taking magic mushrooms: DONT-S

(0) Never take magic mushrooms when you have second thoughts about taking them.
(1) Never take magic mushrooms when you have mental problems.
(2) Never take magic mushrooms when you are feeling depressed.
(3) Never take magic mushrooms when you have a tendency to paranoia.

(8) Do not use magic mushrooms as a party drug (like alcohol or XTC).

A: Barbiturates are a group of drugs that are used by doctors to treat patients suffering from anxiety or who are having trouble sleeping.

Some examples of barbiturates are Seconal^®, Nembutal^®, Amytal^® and Tuinal^®. Street names for barbiturates include “reds”, “red devils”, “yellow jackets”, “blue heavens”, “Christmas trees” and “rainbows”.

Q: So what is the difference between a tranquilizer/sleeping pill and a barbiturate?

A: The main difference lies in their chemical structure. In general, tranquilizers and barbiturates have similar effects, but barbiturates are stronger. Barbiturates are prescribed less often now that doctors have a greater number of tranquilizers and sleeping pills to choose from.

Q: What do barbiturates do to the body?

A: Like tranquilizers and sleeping pills, barbiturates are “downers.” They work by reducing the amount of activity in the brain and central nervous system. This produces a feeling of calm in people who take them.

Q: What are the dangers of barbiturates?

A: Because they are stronger than tranquilizers and sleeping pills, barbiturates are more dangerous when abused. People develop dependence on barbiturates faster than on tranquilizers. This leads them to take more in order to get the same effect as they used to get with smaller amounts.

These larger doses are particularly dangerous because very high doses can be deadly.

Q: Is it dangerous to take other drugs with barbiturates?

A: Remember that mixing two kinds of any drug is always risky. With barbiturates, a big danger comes when they are taken with alcohol. The danger comes from the fact that both alcohol and barbiturates have similar effects on the body. Both reduce the amount of activity in the central nervous system. If someone combines alcohol and barbiturates, the amount of activity in their nervous system will be greatly reduced. This can lead to death.

Some heroin addicts mix barbiturates and heroin. Like alcohol and barbiturates, heroin reduces activity in the central nervous system. Taking two drugs that reduce this activity can be fatal.

Q: What does taking barbiturates over a period of months or years do to a person?

A: Over time, regular use of barbiturates can cause liver damage and blood problems.

Q: Do barbiturates have any other effects?

A: Yes, barbiturates can also affect memory and judgment. They can also create depression, anger, mood swings and fatigue.

Q: Are barbiturates addictive?

A: People do become dependent on barbiturates. This means that they begin to “need” the effects barbiturates produce. If they stop taking them suddenly, people who are dependent on barbiturates can experience sleeping problems, restlessness, irritability and even death.

Amphetamines

Q: What are amphetamines?

A: Amphetamines are a group of drugs that are made by combining various chemicals. They work by stimulating the brain and nervous system. They have a variety of street names including uppers, bennies and pep pills. They are very similar to a type of drug called methamphetamines, sometimes called speed, crystal, meth or crank. There is also a type of methamphetamine that can be smoked. On the street, it is usually called ice.

Q: What do amphetamines look like?

A: They come in tablets and capsules that can be swallowed. They can also be crystals, chunks or powders, which can be snorted or injected. Ice looks like shaved glass slivers or clear rock salt (the stuff that is used to melt ice in the winter).

Q: What effects do amphetamines have on people who use them?

A: Because amphetamines increase activity in the brain, they cause alertness, energy, and a sense of well–being. That is why they are sometimes illegally used by people who need to stay awake like truck drivers, shift workers and students pulling all–nighters cramming for exams.

Q: What physical effects do amphetamines have?

A: Amphetamines can increase your breathing and heart rates at the same time as they decrease your appetite. They can also cause you to feel a very strong thirst and have trouble sleeping. Large doses can produce an intense high but also restlessness, shakiness, sweating, anxiety, headache, blurred vision, dizziness, irregular heartbeat and chest pain. Some users feel powerful and others become hostile and aggressive. You can also overdose on amphetamines and experience high fever, delusions, hallucinations, seizures, coma, stroke, heart failure and death. Combining amphetamines with alcohol or other drugs is especially dangerous.

Q: What are the effects of frequently using amphetamines for months or years?

A: If you use amphetamines regularly, you can experience sleep problems, depression, mood swings, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, weight loss, constipation or diarrhea, and nutritional problems.

High doses of an amphetamine can cause nerve damage, mental problems like paranoia, and hallucinations.

Most of these problems disappear a few days or weeks after you stop taking amphetamines.

Q: Are there other problems?

A: Yes. Amphetamine users who inject the drug with shared needles risk getting hepatitis and AIDS. Babies born to amphetamine users are more likely to be born too soon. They may also have an increased risk of birth defects. The drug passes to nursing babies through the mothers' milk.

Q: Are amphetamines addictive?

A: People who use amphetamines regularly find they need to take larger doses to get the same effects as they used to get from smaller doses. This is called tolerance and, once a tolerance is developed, doses get larger and users can develop a need for the drug. These cravings can be very strong, and users may go to great lengths to obtain more amphetamines.

If users stop suddenly, they can experience withdrawal caused by their body craving, but not getting, amphetamines. This withdrawal usually involves extreme tiredness, disturbed sleep, anxiety, hunger, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Caffeine

Q: What is caffeine?

A: Caffeine is found coffee beans, tea leaves, cocoa leaves and kola nuts. In it’s pure form it is a white powder but we don’t usually see it in this form. In fact we don’t often see it at all. Usually it is just an ingredient in a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate, or a can of pop like Coke or Pepsi.

Q: What other things contain caffeine?

A: Caffeine is also found in chocolate and coffee–flavoured ice cream. It is also a big ingredient in stay–awake pills and is contained in headache and cold medicines.

Q: How much caffeine is in these products?

A: With coffee and tea, it depends on how strong the coffee or tea is made but, in general, coffee has more caffeine than tea.

Here are some common products and the approximate level of caffeine they contain:

Coffee (1 cup) – 100 mg
Instant Coffee (1 cup) – 30–100 mg
Decaffeinated Coffee (1 cup) – 1–10 mg
Tea (1 cup) - 10-90 mg
Cola drinks (10 oz/280 ml) – 30–60 mg
Chocolate (1.4 oz/40 g) – 20–25 mg
Stimulants (1 tablet) – 100–250 mg

Q: Is caffeine a drug?

A: Yes and judging by the number of places it is found, it is a popular one.

Q: Is caffeine an upper or a downer?

A: Caffeine is an upper because it increases activity in the nervous system.

Q: What does caffeine do to us when we eat or drink it?

A: It can improve our mood slightly, make us more aware of our surroundings and make us less sleepy. It also increases our blood pressure, body temperature and the rate of our metabolism. It also gives us less appetite and makes it hard to fall asleep when we want to.

Q: How much caffeine is too much?

A: A lot of caffeine (like between six and eight cups of coffee), besides leaving you staring at the ceiling when you can’t get to sleep, has a lot of other effects. These include anxiety, depression, stomach problems and an irregular heart beat. Caffeine also affects the calcium in the body and can weaken bones.

Q: Is coffee addictive?

A: Yes it is mildly addictive. As your body gets used to caffeine, it needs more of it to get the same effect it used to get from a smaller amount. If someone regularly drinks about four cups of coffee a day, they can become mildly dependent on caffeine. If they suddenly stop drinking coffee they can go through a minor withdrawal and get headaches and have trouble sleeping. They can also be cranky and depressed for a few days.

Cocaine

Q: What is cocaine?

A: Cocaine is a powerful drug made from the leaves of the coca plant. The plant is found mostly in South America and its leaves produce a paste. The paste is purified to produce a white powder. The powder is often weakened by mixing it with sugar, cornstarch or talcum powder. Some street names for cocaine are: “snow”, “C” and “flake”.

Q: Is cocaine an upper or a downer?

A: Cocaine is an upper because it stimulates the body’s nervous system.

Q: How does a person take Cocaine?

A: It is often sniffed or snorted through the nostrils and absorbed into the body through the respiratory tract. Sometimes cocaine is smoked or injected.

Q: What are freebase and crack cocaine?

A: Freebase cocaine is cocaine that has been chemically changed so that it can be smoked. Mixing cocaine and baking soda and heating the mixture make crack cocaine. When the mixture cools and dries it forms clumps known as rock or crack. These “rocks” can be smoked.

Some crack and freebase users inhale the vapors from glass pipes. Others add them to tobacco or marijuana cigarettes.

Q: What are some of the effects of cocaine?

A: Because it increases the activity in the nervous system, cocaine produces increased alertness, high energy and euphoria. These effects are followed by agitation, anxiety and decreased appetite.

Cocaine also causes higher blood pressure, rapid heart rate, rapid breathing and sweating. With a large amount of cocaine people can also experience shallow breathing, unpredictable or violent behavior, twitching, hallucinations, chest pain, blurred vision, vomiting and even heart attacks. All forms of cocaine have the same effects.

Q: How long do the effects of cocaine last?

A: Cocaine high can last from 5 minutes to 2 hours. When users come down or “crash,” they feel very depressed, anxious and irritable. Many users take repeated doses to maintain the high and avoid the crash. Others try to modify the effects or stop binges with drugs like alcohol, tranquilizers or heroin.

Q: What happens to people who use cocaine for a long time?

A: Using cocaine regularly over a long time can leave users agitated and cause mood swings and depression. It can also result in a loss of appetite, not being able to sleep properly and sexual problems.

When cocaine is snorted, it can damage tissue in the nose. Chronic snorting causes stuffed, runny, chapped or bleeding noses, and holes in the barrier separating the nostrils.

People who smoke it can develop lung and breathing problems and some cough up black phlegm or even blood.

People who inject – especially if they share needles – are at risk of infectious diseases including hepatitis and HIV (the virus that causes AIDS).

Q: Is it safer to snort, smoke or inject cocaine?

A: There is no safe way to do cocaine. All three ways of doing cocaine have the same effects but injecting produces these effects more quickly and intensely than snorting.

No matter how cocaine is used, it can cause overdoses.

Q: Is crack more dangerous than cocaine?

A: Because it is smoked, crack reaches the blood and brain very quickly. Smoking it causes the most intense and addictive high. The sudden increase in cocaine in the blood may mean a greater chance of seizures, heart attack and stroke.

Q: Do people get addicted to cocaine and crack?

A: The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes because cocaine actually changes people’s brain chemistry and creates a craving that makes it very difficult for them to stop using cocaine.

Crack is also addictive and an addiction can develop very rapidly. That is because crack reaches the brain quickly causes a brief high that is followed by a severe low. That low leads people to use more crack to get back to the high and that pattern leads to addiction.

Ecstacy

Q: What is ecstasy?

A: Ecstasy is a man–made drug. It is a combination of chemicals made in drug labs and it is a hallucinogens that is also similar to amphetamines. Ecstasy is also called E, XTC, Adam, Euphoria, X, MDM and Love Doves.

Q: What does Ecstasy look like?

A: Ecstasy usually comes in gelatin capsules or small pills. The pills can be any colour and often have a design like a dove, a diamond or a hammer and sickle stamped on them.

Ecstasy can also come in a powder, which is snorted or dissolved and injected.

Q: So Ecstasy is a drug, is it illegal?

A: Yes it is illegal. That means getting caught buying or selling it, or even having it, can mean a fine or an arrest. But there are other dangers as well. When you buy Ecstasy, you may really be getting other drugs. For example, dealers often mix Ecstasy with LSD.

Like other illegal drugs, it is impossible to know exactly what you are buying. That means you can never be sure how safe Ecstasy will be.

Q: What does Ecstasy do to people who use it?

A: About 20 to 40 minutes after taking Ecstasy people will feel a high that can last anywhere from four to six hours. Ecstasy can also make you feel tipsy, like you are a little drunk.

You may feel trusting, loving and warm towards others. You may feel that you are experiencing spiritual insights.

Ecstasy also makes sensations (especially touch) stronger.

Q: So it’s, all good?

A: Not so fast. Ecstasy can also make you clench you jaw and grind your teeth. While you are busy with all that it can also make you feel anxiety or have a full–blown panic attacks. Mind you, all of this can be kind of hard to see because it also can cause blurred vision and vomiting.

But that's not all. Ecstasy also makes you sweat more and increases your blood pressure and heart rate. It can also leave you depressed, cranky, unable to concentrate, forgetful, exhausted and feeling like everyone is out to get you, These effects can last for several days.

Q: Can you die from taking Ecstasy?

A: Ecstasy has been involved in deaths due to severe dehydration and heat exhaustion, abnormal heart rhythms and liver failure.

These risks may be reduced by taking breaks and drinking plenty of water or other non-alcoholic beverages. There is also evidence that high doses of Ecstasy can damage the brain.

Q: What does Ecstasy do if you use it regularly for months or years?

A: Using Ecstasy for a long time may also cause permanent chemical changes in your brain. These changes can mean that your mood and your sleep are disturbed for a long time after you stop using.

Some regular users may experience flashbacks or psychosis and repeated use can damage your liver.

Q: Is Ecstasy addictive?

A: People who use Ecstasy regularly for several weeks or months need to take larger amounts to feel the same effects as when they started using. Right now, there is little information on whether Ecstasy produces dependence or withdrawal symptoms if regular use stops.

Q: What is herbal ecstasy?

A: Herbal ecstasy is a blend of herbs that usually includes caffeine. It is sometimes thought to be a safe alternative to Ecstasy because it comes from combining different plants. But at high doses, it can cause heart problems.

Heroin

Q: What is heroin?

A: Heroin is a highly addictive illegal drug. On the street, it is also called junk, smack, horse, and H.

Heroin belongs to a group of drugs called opiates. It is made by adding chemicals to morphine, a natural substance found in opium poppies. Codeine also comes from poppies. Other opiates that come from opium poppies are found in the drugs Percodan^® and Percocet^® and some cough syrups.

Q: What does heroin look like?

A: Heroin is a white or brownish powder. It can be a fine powder or lumpy. Whatever it looks like, it can also contain other things like sugar, other drugs or even poison like strychnine.

Q: How is it used?

A: Heroin can be injected by needle, snorted, or smoked. It can be added to regular cigarettes or marijuana joints.

Q: What does heroin make you feel?

A: Heroin makes people feel intense pleasure and reduced pain (morphine which is the source of heroin is used in hospitals as a pain killer).

When it is injected, people can feel the effects of heroin in about seven seconds. When smoked or snorted, the effects are felt in about 10 minutes.

Q: What are the effects of using heroin?

A: People who use heroin can feel sick to their stomachs or vomit. They can also get itchy, sleepy and start breathing very quickly. The pupils of their eyes become smaller.

Large doses can slow your breathing so much that you can slip into a coma and die. It is difficult to know the strength of street heroin, so overdose and death can happen easily.

Heroin users who share needles risk getting infections including hepatitis and HIV – the virus that causes AIDS.

Q: What happens if heroin is used often over a period of months or years?

Injecting heroin regularly can cause your veins to collapse.

Smoking it often can lead to pneumonia and other lung problems.

Whether it is smoked or injected, heroin can make you lose your appetite to the point where you just don’t eat and suffer malnutrition. Constipation is also common.

Women can have irregular periods and men may develop some sexual dysfunction.

Q: Is heroin addictive?

A: Big time. Heroin is highly addictive and addicts will do almost anything to satisfy their habit. When heroin is used regularly, you start needing more of it to feel the same effects as when you first started. This is called tolerance and it leads to addiction.

Addicts can’t cut back or stop using heroin because they feel so bad when they try. All they think about is how to get more heroin.

Besides making it harder to quit, heroin’s addictive power also makes for a horrible withdrawal. When an addict quits, they start going through withdrawal in a couple of hours. It starts quickly but it certainly doesn’t end quickly. Depression, weakness and stress can last for several weeks or months.

Besides that, withdrawal can include restlessness, yawning, runny nose, tears, diarrhea, cramps, goose bumps, low blood pressure and strong craving. These effects get stronger for two to four days, and then gradually weaken.

Q: What is methadone?

A: Methadone is a painkiller used to treat heroin addicts and help them kick their habit. It is sometimes called “meth” and is usually taken as a liquid. Because they are given methadone legally and because it blocks out the effects of heroin, addicts no longer need heroin. The effects of methadone also last longer than heroin. This means addicts can begin to put their lives back together because they no longer need to spend all their time in a desperate search for more heroin.

Methadone is also addictive but, because it is given under professional supervision, addicts can slowly stop taking it and have help dealing with their withdrawal.

LSD

Q: What is LSD?

A: LSD is the most powerful of the group of drugs known as hallucinogens. The name LSD is an abbreviated version of the drug's chemical name (lysergic acid diethylamide). The most common street names for LSD are “blotter,” “window pane,” and “acid.”

Q: What does LSD look like?

A: LSD is generally sold in the form of little squares of paper (slightly smaller than a postage stamp) that have been soaked in LSD. These squares of paper are often called “tabs.” LSD can also be a liquid, pill or capsule.

Q: How do people use LSD?

A: In its most common forms – liquid, soaked into paper, pills or capsules – it is swallowed but LSD can also be injected or inhaled.

Q: What does LSD do the body?

A: LSD increases blood pressure and heart rate. It also increases the body's temperature and makes the pupil in the eye larger. These physical changes are the first thing users feel and may cause numbness, weakness and a lack of coordination.

Q: What other effects does LSD have?

A: Like all hallucinogens, LSD affects the senses. Users can hallucinate, or see and hear things that don’t really exist. Hallucinogens also influence emotions and the ability to think clearly. The effects vary from user to user and a lot depends on the strength of the LSD. Users can experience a sense of wonder and joy or they might get scared and anxious. They can also feel as they are outside their body and able to watch themselves.

Getting scared and anxious is what is known as a “bad trip.”

In general though, the effects are felt within an hour of taking LSD and these can last as long as 12 hours.

Q: What is a flashback?

A: A flashback is when someone feels the effects of LCD even though they haven’t used it recently. LSD can cause flashbacks days, weeks or months after people have used it.

Q: Is LSD addictive?

A: After using LSD every day for three or four days, the drug will no longer have any effect on the mind. Taking more of the drug will have no effect. After several days of not using LSD, the effects of the drug can be felt again.

This generally means that people do not come to rely on the drug. However, some people develop a strong desire for the mental effects of the drug making it difficult to stop using LSD.

Magic Mushrooms

Q: What are magic mushrooms?

A: When people refer to magic mushrooms, they are actually referring to several different types of mushrooms that grow in many parts of the world. These different mushrooms have one thing in common though: they all contain a natural chemical (called Psilocybin) that is also a hallucinogen.

Q: What do magic mushrooms look like?

A: Most often on the street they are sold as mushrooms. They can also be a powder and sold as capsules. When these capsules are analyzed in a lab, however, they are often found to be either LSD or PCP.

Q: How are magic mushrooms taken?

A: They are generally just swallowed but they can also be used to make a kind of tea, which people then drink.

Q: What do magic mushrooms do to the body?

A: They can cause dizziness, lightheadedness, stomach cramps, nausea, anxiety and shivering. They can also cause numbness of the tongue and mouth.

Q: What are some of the other effects of magic mushrooms?

Like all hallucinogens, magic mushrooms effect the mind and the senses. Users can hallucinate, or see and hear things that don’t really exist. Hallucinogens also influence emotions and the ability to think clearly. With a small amount of magic mushrooms, these effects are mild. With a large amount, they can closely resemble the effects produced by LSD.

Marijuana

Q: What is marijuana?

A: Marijuana is a drug that has many street names – grass, weed, dope, pot, Mary Jane - but whatever it is called it remains the same thing. Marijuana comes from the same plant that is the source of hashish and hashish oil. The scientific name for this plant is Cannabis sativa which is why marijuana and hashish are both called cannabis.

Q: How do people use marijuana and hashish?

A: Marijuana and hashish are usually smoked in cigarettes called joints or reefers. It can also be smoked in pipes, or in water pipes called bongs. Hash oil is added to marijuana or tobacco cigarettes. Cannabis can also be cooked in foods, for example brownies.

Q: What does marijuana and hashish do to the body?

A: If it is smoked, the effects of marijuana and hashish are felt quickly. Marijuana and hashish contain a chemical called THC that has an impact on the brain and the heart. In the brain, it affects moods and physical functions controlled by the brain. It causes the heart to beat faster and produces changes in blood pressure.

Q: What are some of the other effects of marijuana and hashish?

A: Because it has an effect on the brain, marijuana and hashish can mess up your ability to think straight and even to remember what happened when you were high. It can also interfere with your reaction time, coordination and ability to make judgments. These factors make it very dangerous to drive when high.

Colours will seem brighter, sounds and smells more distinct. Some users feel happy and start talking a lot; others get quiet and withdrawn. Minutes can seem like hours, and ordinary objects seem to have special meaning.

Q: How long do these effects last?

A: If you smoke cannabis, you will probably feel the “high” quickly, and it will last two to four hours. If you eat it, the high happens later, and you feel it for a longer time.

Q: What happens when people use marijuana and hashish over a long period of time?

A: This is an area that is still being studied but we do know that marijuana and hashish smoke are similar to tobacco smoke in some ways. Like tobacco, smoking marijuana or hashish will eventually damage the lungs. It can also play a part in leaving the body vulnerable to diseases that interfere with breathing such as bronchitis.

There is no complete proof that marijuana or hashish cause lung cancer but a lot research has found evidence that they do. What we do know for sure is that people who smoke cigarettes and marijuana have a greater risk of developing cancer than people who smoke only cigarettes or only marijuana.

Heavy use of marijuana and hashish may also lead to difficulty remembering things and concentrating. It can also lead to a lack of motivation and a general loss of interest.

Q: Is it a problem if pregnant women use marijuana?

A: Yes. Marijuana can cause mothers to give birth before their babies are fully developed. Children whose mothers smoke marijuana while pregnant may also develop learning problems, as they get older.

Q: How many people use marijuana?

A: Marijuana is the most often used illegal drug in Canada. In Alberta in 1995 people between the ages of 12 and 17 were asked about their marijuana use. This survey found that 16% had used marijuana in the previous year and 4% had used it at least once a week.

PCP

Q: What is PCP?

A: PCP is one of several drugs known as hallucinogens. The name PCP is an abbreviated version of the drug's chemical name (phencyclidine). The most common street names for PCP is: “angel dust.”

Q: What does PCP look like?

A: On the street, PCP is often sold as a white powder. It can also be a liquid, capsule or tablet.

Q: How do people take it?

A: As a powder it is snorted. When it is in a liquid form, it can be injected and when it is a pill or capsule, it is simply swallowed. The powder form of PCP is often mixed with tobacco, dried parsley or marijuana, and then smoked.

Q: What does PCP do to the body?

A: PCP produces many changes in the body including faster breathing and an increased heart rate. It also increases body temperature and can lead to numbness in the legs and arms.

Higher doses can produce a quick drop in blood pressure, vomiting, blurred vision, dizziness and an inability to feel pain.

Large doses can cause convulsions, coma and death.

On the street, it is impossible to know how strong the PCP is and this makes it hard to judge what its effects will be.

Q: What other effects does PCP have?

A: Like all hallucinogens, PCP has an effect on the mind and the senses. Users can hallucinate, or see and hear things that don't really exist. Hallucinogens also influence emotions and the ability to think clearly. PCP has different effects on different people. It causes some people to feel joy and others can feel nothing but anxiety and panic. In some cases, this panic can lead to violent behaviour.

Q: What is a flashback?

A: A flashback is when someone feels the effects of PCP even though they haven’t taken any recently. PCP can cause flashbacks days, weeks or months after people have used it.

Q: What are some of the effects of using PCP regularly for months or years?

A: These so–called “long term effects” of PCP are not really well understood. What we do know, however, is that some people who have used PCP for a long time have speech problems, anxiety, depression and do not enjoy social situations.

Ritalin^®

Q: What is Ritalin^®?

A: Ritalin^® is the name that a medication called methylphenidate is sold under.

Q: What is Ritalin^® used for?

A: Doctors use Ritalin^® to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Ritalin^® seems to help an ADHD–affected person pay attention to tasks and reduce impulsive and hyperactive behaviour. It has become a popular way to control difficult behaviours in children, especially at school.

Q: What is the problem with Ritalin^®?

A: Like a lot of legal drugs, the problem comes when people abuse it by taking more than the doctor prescribed in order to get “high.” When abused, it stimulates the mind and body in much the same way as amphetamines and cocaine.

Q: How do people abuse Ritalin^®?

A: People who want to get high by using Ritalin^® usually crush the pills into a powder. That powder can then be snorted or dissolved and injected.

Q: What are the effects of Ritalin^® when it is abused?

A: People who abuse Ritalin^® can feel a variety of effects. Ritalin^® can make them alert or drowsy. Sometimes, Ritalin can make them less tired right away, but very tired later. They can lose their appetite, feel nauseous and vomit.

Ritalin^® can also give people headaches and fast, irregular heartbeat. It can also leave them feeling dizzy or nervous.

Q: Are there different effects depending on the amount of Ritalin^® taken?

A: Yes, but even at low doses Ritalin^® can produce a high. Larger doses can make people exhilarated and excited. With large doses, even moving can be more difficult.

These large doses can make people agitated, confused, and paranoid (believing that people are out to get them). They can also hallucinate (imagine things that are not really there). With high doses, their muscles twitch, pupils dilate, and their faces turn red and your heart beats faster and harder. They can even develop a fever and start sweating.

Very high doses can make you delirious. You could go into, seizures, and even coma.

Of course if people inject the Ritalin^® and share needles, they have a greater risk of bacterial and viral infections including hepatitis and HIV (the virus that causes AIDS).

Q: What are the effects of taking Ritalin^® for months or years?

A: Remember that the drug does have a legal use. It is used to treat children who are hyperactive or who have attention problems. When used to treat these children, they become less hyperactive and are more able to pay attention. They often do better in school because they are able to finish tasks and think about their actions before acting.

These effects are limited to people who follow their doctor's instructions for taking Ritalin^®.

People who inject high doses of Ritalin^® daily can become paranoid (believing that people are out to get them). This seems to go away when they stop using the drug.

Q: Is Ritalin^® addictive?

A: People who abuse Ritalin for a long time do develop a tolerance. This means that they need more Ritalin^® to get the pleasant effects they got from a smaller amount when they first started abusing the drug.

They can become dependent on the way it makes them feel. They may panic if they are unable to get more, and crave it if they try to stop using it.

They can also become exhausted and severely depressed when they try to stop using Ritalin^®.

Solvents and Inhalants

Q: What are solvents/inhalants?

A: Solvents are liquids that can dissolve a lot of different stuff. They are made from oil and natural gas. Because most people who use solvents to get high sniff or breathe (inhale) them, they are also called inhalants.

Q: What are solvents/inhalants normally used for?

A: There are many different types of solvents and a lot of them are found in everyday life. These include gasoline, felt markers, some cleaning products, nail polish remover, Liquid Paper, air fresheners, some types of glue, cooking sprays and paint thinner.

Q: What effect do solvents/inhalants have on the body's systems?

A: Because they are inhaled, solvents/inhalants hit the lungs first. From there, they go into the bloodstream and travel to the brain and other organs. The kidneys break down some solvents but many leave the body without changing when we breathe out. This means that the breath of people who sniff them can smell like solvents for hours.

Q: What are some of the effects of sniffing solvents/inhalants?

A: One of the first things felt by people is a strong but short lasting high. At the same time, they feel dizzy and numb. That is followed by weakness, loss of coordination, slow reflexes, poor judgment, blurred vision and ringing in the ears. Solvents can also cause headaches, sneezing and coughing, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Solvents slow down breathing and can make users pass out.

Q: What happens when people use solvents/inhalants over a long period of time?

A: Solvents can cause permanent damage to the liver, kidneys, lungs and heart. There is evidence that solvents can cause brain damage too. The effects are not limited to the body; solvents can produce mood swings and depression.

Q: Can solvents/inhalants be fatal?

A: Yes, an overdose of solvents has caused many deaths. There is also something known as “sudden sniffing death” that can happen while using solvents. Solvents interfere with the way the heart works and if somebody who is high on solvents is startled or does something physically strenuous like run around, it can cause a heart attack.

Solvents are often inhaled out of a plastic bag and there is a danger that a user will suffocate after passing out with the bag over their nose or mouth.

Solvents can also produce a feeling of being incredibly powerful. This feeling can cause users to do some bizarre things like walking into traffic or jumping off balconies.

It is also extremely dangerous to smoke while using solvents/inhalants because they are highly flammable and the risk of fire is high.

Q: Who uses solvents/inhalants?

A: Many users are young – between the ages of 8 and 16. Most of these people are experimenting with solvents or using them occasionally, but solvents/inhalants have a greater effect on children and young adults. Some heavy users are older.

Q: Are solvents/inhalants addictive?

A: Yes, heavy users become dependent on solvents/inhalants making it very difficult to quit. Also, just as with alcohol, users can develop a tolerance meaning they need to inhale a lot of solvents/inhalants to produce the same effects as they used to get from a smaller amount.

People whom only experiment with solvents or use them occasionally generally do not go through withdrawal when they quit. Heavy users can experience withdrawal after quitting. Their bodies have made changes because of the frequent use of solvents and when they quit inhaling, heavy users can experience depression, aggression, restlessness and a lack of energy.

Q: What is methyl alcohol?

A: Methyl alcohol is a solvent that is also a very dangerous poison. It is sometimes called wood alcohol and is used in paint remover, cleaning solvents, antifreeze and liquid fuels like gasoline, propane and kerosene. It is a powerful poison and drinking an ounce or less of it can cause blindness, nerve damage, coma and convulsions. It can also lead to death because it is capable of paralyzing breathing.

Steroids

Q: What are steroids?

A: Steroids are a group of drugs that are similar to a male hormone called testosterone. Most people know that people who want to get bigger and stronger in a hurry, may use steroids. The steroids taken by these people are called anabolic steroids, which just means that they build muscles. Another type of steroids are androgenic steroids and these make people more masculine.

Q: What are some other uses for steroids?

A: Steroids are used in veterinary medicine to treat animals. In humans, doctors use steroids to treat people who are slow to reach puberty, people with some blood disorders, and those with some types of breast cancer.

Q: How are steroids taken?

A: Steroids can come in pills or capsules. In these forms, people mix them with liquids or simply swallow them. Steroids can also be injected.

Q: Are steroids illegal?

A: Steroids are legal for use by veterinarians and doctors. It is illegal to sell or buy them on the street. When steroids are sold on the street or in a gym, they are often mixed with other things and can be dangerous.

Steroids are also banned from amateur sports like the Olympics and most professional sports. Several Olympic athletes have lost their medals after they were tested and found to have used steroids to bulk up.

Q: What are some of the effects of steroids?

A: Steroids can make you less tired and leave you more determined to exercise. If that exercise is intense and done along with a nutrition program, steroids can increase lean muscle mass and strength.

Q: So what is the problem with them?

A: The problem is that steroids have side effects and none of them are very pretty. Some known side effects are acne (and not just on the face, but all over the body) high blood pressure, more cholesterol in your body and impotence.

Q: Are there different side effects if you take a lot of steroids?

A: Yes, besides the acne and the impotence, people who take large doses of steroids can lose control of their emotions. They can be really aggressive and irritable and have difficulty controlling their temper. Little things can make them really angry and this is what is sometimes called “roid rage.” Large doses can also cause depression, sleep problems and anxiety.

Because athletes who use steroids often take doses five to ten times the medical amount, they are at risk for all these effects. Body builders, desperate for big muscles, often take doses 100 times larger than a doctor would give a patient.

Q: What happens if these large doses are taken regularly for months or years?

A: Large doses taken as pills can cause stomachache, nausea and vomiting.

People who inject steroids and share needles risk infections, including hepatitis and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Q: Are there different effects for men and women? What about teenagers?

A: Teens using high doses can have their growth permanently stunted so they might be bigger but they are also shorter.

Men can develop painful, enlarged breast and shrunken testicles. Women often grow more facial and body hair. They can also experience an enlarged clitoris, reduced breast size, irregular periods, deepened voices, and male-pattern baldness.

Many of these effects are irreversible.

Q: I'm afraid to ask, but is there anything else?

A: You bet there is. People who use steroids can develop a dependence on them. That means they will go through withdrawal when they stop using. They can feel sick to their stomach, have headaches, sweat a lot, feel dizzy and be depressed.

Talwin & Ritalin

Q: What is Talwin^®?

A: Talwin^® is the name under which a drug called pentazocine is sold. It is legally available only, when a doctor prescribes it.

Q: What is Ritalin^®?

A: Ritalin^® is the name under which a drug called methylphenidate is sold. It is legally available only when it is prescribed by a doctor and is used to treat attention–deficit hyperactivity disorder in children.

Q: What happens when these two drugs are taken together?

A: Talwin^® is a painkiller and Ritalin^® is a stimulant drug (upper). When they are combined, they produce a brief but strong “high.” This high is like the high produced by mixing cocaine and heroin. Because Talwin^® and Ritalin^® are cheaper when prescribed by a doctor, they are sometimes called “poor man's heroin.”

Some other names for the mixture of Talwin^® and Ritalin^® are: “Ts and Rs,” “Ts and Rits,” “One and Ones,” “Crackers,” and “Set.”

Q: Are Talwin^® and Ritalin^® illegal?

A: Both drugs are legal, if a doctor prescribes them. If they are stolen or bought from someone who has stolen them, they are illegal. The Talwin^® and Ritalin^® sold on the street is usually stolen either from people who have a prescription from their doctor or from a pharmacy.

Q: What does the combination of Talwin^® and Ritalin^® do to people?

A: Besides producing a very brief ”high,“ the combination of these two drugs has a lot of other effects. The combination can cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tremors, confusion, constipation, anorexia, insomnia, and paranoia (the feeling that everyone is out to get you). The “high” doesn’t last very long and it is always followed by a “low” that leaves users depressed and lethargic.

High doses of Talwin^® and Ritalin^® can increase blood pressure and cause hallucinations (seeing things that do not really exist).

Q: Are there other medical problems produced by the combination of Talwin^® and Ritalin^®?

A: Very high doses of the two drugs can lead to an overdose and result in coma and death.

Most of the other medical problems that come from using Talwin^® and Ritalin^® come from the fact that users inject the combination. Using dirty needles or sharing needles can cause a variety of problems. Some are relatively minor like infected veins or skin problems. Some of these problems are very serious. Dirty or shared needles can cause infections in the lungs, heart, bones, and liver.

Shared needles can also increase the risk of becoming infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Q: Is the combination of Talwin^® and Ritalin^® addictive?

A: The brief “high” people get from Talwin^® and Ritalin^® can result in a person taking them more often, making the abuse of these drugs very expensive.

Taking the drugs more often can also lead to tolerance meaning that people need more of the drugs to feel the same effects they used to feel from a smaller amount.

If people suddenly stop using Talwin^® and Ritalin^® they can feel agitated, depressed or exhausted.

These feeling are generally stronger because these people are addicted to two drugs.

Tranquilizers

Q: What are tranquilizers?

A: Tranquilizers are a group of drugs that are used to treat medical conditions such as severe anxiety, stress disorders and muscle tension. Doctors to treat these conditions prescribe them.

Q: So are sleeping pills tranquilizers?

A: Most sleeping pills prescribed these days have the same chemical make up as tranquilizers. Medically speaking, drugs used to calm people are known as tranquilizers and those used to treat sleeping problems are called sleeping pills. Some of the most commonly prescribed tranquilizers are Valium^®, Librium^®, Ativan^®, and Serax^®. Some common sleeping pills include Dalmane^®, Halcion^®, Restoril^® and Mogadon^®.

However, some sleeping pills are not classified as tranquilizers, they are barbiturates.

Q: What is the difference between a tranquilizer and a barbiturate?

A: The main difference lies in their chemical structure. In general, tranquilizers and barbiturates have similar effects, but barbiturates are stronger.

Q: What do tranquilizers and sleeping pills do to the body?

A: Both tranquilizers and sleeping pills are known as depressants. This means they reduce the amount of activity in the brain and central nervous system. The reduced activity produces a sense of calm and well–being, which is why tranquilizers are used to treat anxiety.

Sleeping pills reduce the amount of activity in the brain further than tranquilizers. This larger reduction eventually causes users to fall asleep.

Q: What are some other effects of tranquilizers and sleeping pills?

A: Tranquilizers and sleeping pills can relax people to the point where they get clumsy and have trouble thinking straight. Remember, sleeping pills make people very tired and, just as when you are trying to fight off sleep, which means it is dangerous for people to drive a car when taking sleeping pills or tranquilizers.

Q: Are tranquilizers and sleeping pills legal?

A: In Canada, they are legal only when prescribed by a doctor. Because of their effects, tranquilizers and sleeping pills are sometimes stolen and sold illegally on the street.

Q: So what is the danger if a doctor prescribes tranquilizers and sleeping pills?

A: The danger of tranquilizers and sleeping pills are the same whether a doctor prescribes them or they are bought illegally. The most danger lies in taking too many of them at any given time. A doctor's prescription will include instructions about how many tranquilizers or sleeping pills to take and how often this should be done.

Ignoring these instructions or using illegal tranquilizers without medical advice can cause a lot of problems.

Q: Like what?

A: The exact effect varies with the type of tranquilizer and the size of the dose. In large doses (or doses that exceed the prescribed dose) tranquilizers and sleeping pills can cause problems with thinking, memory and judgment. Users also have trouble speaking clearly and some people can become hostile and go into a rage.

Q: Anything else?

A: There are some other less common effects that come from abusing tranquilizers and sleeping pills. These include physical effects like headaches, skin rashes and impotence, and mental effects like disturbing dreams.

Q: Is it dangerous to take other drugs with tranquilizers and sleeping pills?

A: Remember that mixing two kinds of any drugs is always risky. With tranquilizers and sleeping pills, a big danger comes when they are taken with alcohol. The danger comes from the fact that both alcohol and tranquilizers/sleeping pills have similar effects on the body. Both reduce the amount of activity in the central nervous system. If someone drinks alcohol and takes a tranquilizer or a sleeping pill, the amount of activity in their nervous system will be greatly reduced. This can lead to death.

Q: Are tranquilizers and sleeping pills addictive?

A: People do develop tolerance to tranquilizers and sleeping pills. This means they need to take more of them in order to feel the same effects they used to feel after taking smaller amounts.

Tolerance can lead to abuse and dependence on tranquilizers and sleeping pills.

When people who are dependent on tranquilizers and sleeping pills suddenly stop taking them, they can go through withdrawal. Besides craving the drugs, they can experience sleep problems, restlessness, loss of appetite and the shakes.

The methods below were recommended by experts in tantric sex, accupressure, and Oriental body work. To do the techniques properly, you need to know a few things. First, all the types of touch described below should be slow, soft, and gentle. Change the way you touch her every 30-60 seconds. Alternating sensations--from touching to kissing, lighter or harder touches--builds the sexual charge.

Another tip: Look for areas which feel cool to the touch. When you softly stroke the spot until it warms up, you release energy that enhances her arousal. Eastern medical traditions define arousal as an increased energetic state with corresponding physical changes. By stimulating strategic points you increase her overall energy and awaken every inch of her body, making her ready and eager for orgasm.

Now, a short glossary of the lingo.

Yoni (pronounced yo-nee) refers to the female genitals. The "lingam" (lin-gum) refers to male sex organs.

Meridians (or energy channels) are tributaries of the body through which energy flows.

Chakras (shack-ruhz) are energy centers in the body. The "root chakra" is sexual energy which resides at the base of the spine, near the anus. That lower back area is also called the "sacrum" (sack-rum).

Sacred Spot is the Eastern equivalent of the G-spot

Qi (chee) is the vital energy which animates all living beings.

Shen is the combined energy mind and spirit, the force which allows us to connect with other human beings.

Helpful hint: try these techniques when you are both naked and relaxed.

The Hot Spot: the eyes

What You Do: keep your eyes open throughout the erotic encounter and gaze steadily into hers, even if she drops her eyelids.

What It Does To Her: Known as "Soul-gazing," this technique transmits a huge amount of sexual energy. People have reportedly achieved orgasm just by gazing at each other.

The Hot Spot: the tip of the nose

What You Do: Use this as your starting point for touching. Begin simply by lightly caressing it with your fingertip. Gradually extend the caresses down to her neck, armpits, breasts, stomach, genitals, and back up again to her nose, slowly creating a circle of energy which encompasses her from nose to yoni

What It Does To Her: the tip of the nose is on the meridian which connects to the Root Chakra. Touching it sends energy flowing through that meridian. When you trace the meridian with your fingertips down to the Root Chakra and then up again to her nose, you create a complete circuit of energy which awakens her sexual desires

The Hot Spot: just under the eye, in line with the pupil

What You Do: Lightly stroke down her face, beginning at the point beneath the eye, which connects to the stomach channel. Press your thumb along the channel, while working your palm very gently down her cheek, neck, breast, and all the way to the knee. Another fine technique is to cradle her head with your left arm as you stimulate the channel with your right hand. You can also kiss and nibble your way down the meridian.

What It Does For Her: the stomach channel is a primary meridian through the breast. A tremendous amount of sexual energy is freed by moving energy in and around the breast area.

The Hot Spot: the frenulum (that little connective tissue inside your mouth between your upper lip and the gums).

What You Do: Gently suck her upper lip between your lips (no teeth, please), so that your lower lip lightly rubs her frenulum.

What It Does To Her: The frenulum is a direct channel to the clitoris. Women have been known to get clitoral orgasms from this.

The Hot Spot: the area between the base of the skull and the top of the shoulders

What You Do: grasp, squeeze, bite, and suck in the area where the shoulders join the neck. There is four or five inch circle just where the shoulders start which respond well to light biting. Move up the back of the neck to the base of the skull, alternating biting and sucking.

What It Does To Her: These points often carry a lot of tension which the stimulation releases. They are also on meridians which connect directly to the sacrum and the pelvis, the two key areas for sexual awakening

The Hot Spot: the thyroid glands, located on either side of the throat, just behind the jaw-bone and a couple of inches down from the earlobe

What You Do: Very gently massage the glands with your fingertips

What It Does To Her: Freeing up the energy in those vital glands increases her sexual response.

The Hot Spot: between the shoulder blades

What You Do facing her, reach your hands around her back and lightly rub the area to warm and stimulate it. Slowly move closer until your chest is pressed close against hers, continuing to massage her between the shoulder blades. Gradually massage more deeply while holding her in your arms

What It Does For Her: In addition to the energy you create between her shoulders, the contact of your chest in front and your hands in back causes energy to pass through her heart.

The Hot Spot: the nipples. No big surprise.

What You Do: tickle, tease, caress, nibble and kiss. Don't hang from them like a nursing baby but focus on giving her a variety of gentle, pleasurable sensations. Still no big surprise.

What It Does to Her: Surprise! The nipples directly correlate to the clitoris.

The Hot Spot: The crease of her wrist. To find it, place your thumb on her wrist bone and gently roll down it into the little groove between the bone and her hand.

What You DO: massage and apply pressure to the groove

What It Does To Her: This technique transmits energy to the heart, which is the seat of passion, caring and love. It also remedies disturbances in Shen. If she's tense or distracted, this will balance her Shen and relax her, draining her of sexual anxiety.

The Hot Spot: a few inches below her navel, in the area just above the pubic bone (also known as "dan-tian," or "the elixir field").

What You Do: You can use soft, light touches or just rest your palm there, letting the energy flow from your hand into her body

What It Does To Her: Touching here stimulates her sacred spot from the outside. When pressure is lightly applied to the area, she starts to breathe into that area and experiences enhanced arousal.

The Hot Spot: the sacrum

What You Do: Use varying types of touch, starting with light pressure and moving up to harder touch. Watch for increased breathing and physical movement in other parts of their body to see which she responds to best. You can also scrape your nails against the sacrum or grasp the soft flesh back there, gently tugging the skin away from the spine before releasing it.

What It Does For Her: Work in the sacrum increases the amount of energy which flows into the pelvis and directly enhances arousal. Stretching the skin away from the spine opens up and unblocks the energy channel.

The Hot Spot: the outer lips of the yoni (labia majores)

What You Do: Gently massage the outside of the lips. Don't open the lips up or go inside. Slowly caress and tease the outer area only. Then stroke gently down to the inside of the groin and thigh on one side and back up on the other side, creating a circuit from her yoni to her thighs.

What It Does To Her: Isn't that obvious? It drives her wild by creating and moving energy around her pelvis.

The Hot Spot: the yoni

What You Do: Simply by placing your right hand on the woman's yoni, and your left hand on her heart, you breath in the energy from her heart and breath it back into her yoni, creating an energy loop from the seat of passion to the seat of pleasure

What It Does To Her: Do I really have to explain this to you?

The Hot Spot: the hollow between the Achilles tendon and the ankle bone

What You Do: using two hands, massage the hollows on both sides

What It Does For Her: This point is on the kidney meridian. Blocked kidney energies cause sexual inhibition; if she has a deficiency of Qi in the kidney (a common problem), her overall energies and her libido will be low. The massage restores Qi, revitalizes the kidney energies, and creates full-body arousal

The Hot Spot: Starting between the first two toes, slide your fingers up a couple of inches from the web to where the bones join. If you're a foot lover, you could begin your encounter at this spot.

What You Do: Massage that area on both feet, 30 seconds each.

What It Does To Her: This is a point on the liver meridian, which encircles the external genitalia (in Eastern medicine, that means everything from the cervix out, including the vagina). It's also an important point for draining tension and helping her to achieve relaxation. The technique communicates caring.

Robert Nesta Marley was born on February 6, 1945 in the parish of St. Anns in Nine Miles, Jamaica to Norval Sinclair Marley and Cedella ‘Ciddy’ Malcom. Norval was a British Marine officer and Ciddy was a native Jamaican. Soon after his birth, Bob’s father left and had little contact with him although he did financially support his son.

When Bob was five, his father took him to Kingston, Jamaica. It wasn’t until a year later that Bob saw his mother again. Soon after, he moved with his mother to Trenchtown, a section of Kingston notorious for it’s rough ghettoes.

In 1961, at the age of sixteen, Bob released his first song, Judge Not, which did not do well. This did not discourage Bob. He continued to pursue a career in music and in 1965, he formed a group called ‘The Wailers’ with Bunny Livingstone (later known as Bunny Wailer) and Peter McIntosh (later known as simply Peter Tosh.) Bob acted as front man for the group and wrote most of the group’s material. The trio released ‘Simmer Down,’ ‘Rule Them Rudie’ and ‘It Hurts To Be Alone,’ all of which were hits in Jamaica.

In 1966, Bob Marley married Rita Anderson, his long-term girlfriend. The next day he went to the United States and stayed long enough to gain financing for his next record. The next year Bob and Rita’s first child, Cedella, was born. Soon after, the Marleys set up their own recording label, Wail ‘N Soul ‘M Records, and produced a single, ‘Bend Down Low/Mellow Mood.’ That same year, the record label was ended.

Their next child, David (Ziggy) was born in 1968. The Wailers continued to release singles without producing an album. The band formed another label, Tuff Gong, and

finally reached a degree of success. By that time, the

Wailers were famous in the Caribbean, but were unknown in

the rest of the world.

Finally in 1971, the Wailers got a break. Island Records forwarded them 8,000 pounds for the production of a full album. The Wailers were the first reggae band to receive so much money and to have access to the best

recording studios. They produced two albums, ‘Catch a Fire’ and ‘Burnin’’, the latter which included ‘Get Up Stand Up’ and ‘I Shot the Sheriff.’ The Wailers began to extensively toured the United States and the United Kingdom and when Eric Clapton covered ‘I Shot the Sheriff’ the Wailers soared to instant fame.

Soon after their success in the US, the band changed their name to Bob Marley and the Wailers and then released their next album, ‘Natty Dread.’ The album included the hit single ‘No Woman No Cry,’ perhaps their most popular song. Soon after, Bunny and Peter left to pursue solo careers and

were replaced by new members. By 1976, reggae fever had swept the United States. Rolling Stone magazine named Bob Marley and the Wailers the ‘Band of the Year’ and ‘Rastaman Vibration’ rose to the top of the charts.

On December 3 of 1976, an assassination attempt was made on Bob Marley, his wife and the managers of the Wailers to keep him from playing at the Smile Jamaica concert in Kingston. His concert was scheduled for December 5 after a presidential candidate’s election rally, a presidential candidate who happened to be at odds with the US. Some people believe that the assassination attempt was executed by the US government, for fear that Marley’s performance would sway the vote. Despite receiving two gun shot wounds, Bob Marley performed anyway and then left for the UK.

Bob Marley and the Wailers went on to produce their next album, ‘Exodus,’ in 1977. The release of this album propelled Bob to a international superstar. Later, in May of the same year, Bob found out that he had cancer in his toe. Doctors recommended that he have the toe removed, but

Bob refused since this was against his Rastafarian beliefs.

In July, the rest of the Exodus tour was canceled.

In 1978, the band released another album, ‘Kaya.’ The group's songs went from protest anthems to love songs about ganja (marijuana), which is highly held by Rastafarians as a way to connect with Jah (God.) In April, Marley returned to Jamaica to perform in the One Love Peace Concert, and later that year he received a Peace Medal of the Third World from the United Nations. Bob Marley also traveled to Africa for the first time, making stops in Kenya, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe.

The band went on touring throughout the US and Europe and produced a few more albums, ncluding ‘Uprising.’ However, in 1980, Marley fell gravely ill. The cancer in his toe had spread upwards through his body and had infected his liver, stomach and brain. In September, Bob nearly fainted during a concert in New York City. The next day he collapsed while jogging through a park and was rushed to the hospital. The doctors revealed that the tumor in his brain had greatly enlarged and that Bob had less than a month to live.

Bob wanted to continue the tour though, and he performed a spectacular show in Pittsburgh on September 22. Rita was not happy with his decision to spend his final days touring though, and the concert was canceled the next day. Bob then went to Miami where he was baptized at the Ethiopian Orthodox Church on November 4. Five days later, in a last attempt to save his life, Bob flew to a controversial treatment center in Germany with Rita. Three months later on May 11, 1981, Bob Marley died at the young

age of 36.

Bob Marley’s funeral was held in Jamaica on May 21, and hundreds of thousands of people attended, including the Prime Minister of Jamaica. Bob’s body was taken back to his birth place in Nine Miles where it now rests in a mausoleum.

LSD

LSD has many nicknames.

LSD is a man-made chemical and takes the form of a white powder. Just a tiny amount is needed. It is normally mixed with other substances and made into a pill. As a liquid it can be absorbed into paper, gelatin sheets or sugar cubes.

The law says that LSD is a Class A drug. Which means if you are caught in possession of a Class A drug the maximum penalty is seven years in prison and an unlimited fine. If you are caught supplying a Class A drug you could be sentenced for up to life in prison and given an unlimited fine.

What are the drug's initial actions? You see bright colors, strange distorted sights and sounds, weird hallucinations.

What are the downs? LSD is strong and unpredictable. What it does largely depends on you and your state of mind. If you are in a strange place or a troubled state of mind, there is always the possibility that you could have a bad trip. These reduce you to a scared, shivering wreck, and you can’t get out until the trip ends, which is anytime between 6 and 12 hours. It can leave you feeling sad, dizzy, and puzzled. You aren’t in control of your mind and body on any trip, good or bad, which can be very dangerous.

The long-term affects of LSD aren’t certain. There is the risk of flashbacks, which are vivid visions of a previous trip. These can happen anywhere at any time, and can be dangerous depending on what you are doing. LSD can cause severe reactions in people who might have mental problems. It’s also possible to become psychologically dependent on drugs.

Marijuana affects your brain. THC (the active ingredient in marijuana) affects the nerve cells in the part of the brain where memories are formed.

Marijuana affects your self-control. Marijuana can seriously affect your sense of time and your coordination, impacting things like driving. In 2002, nearly 120,000 people were admitted to emergency rooms suffering from marijuana-related problems, an increase of more than 139 percent since 1995.¹

Marijuana affects your lungs. There are more than 400 known chemicals in marijuana. A single joint contains four times as much cancer-causing tar as a filtered cigarette.²

Marijuana affects other aspects of your health. Marijuana can limit your body's ability to fight off infection.³ Long-term marijuana use can even increase the risk of developing certain mental illnesses.⁴

Marijuana is not always what it seems. Marijuana can be laced with other dangerous drugs without your knowledge. "Blunts"--hollowed-out cigars filled with marijuana--sometimes have substances such as crack cocaine, PCP, or embalming fluid added.

Marijuana can be addictive. Not everyone who uses marijuana becomes addicted, but some users do develop signs of dependence. In 1999, more than 220,000 people entered drug treatment programs to kick their marijuana habit
