Hey political pothead people, I've had a brief absence from the wonderful world of debate here at RIU, and some strange things have happened while I was gone. In an attempt to smear my name, a user has created an alias and is claiming to be ME. Well, this person is NOT ME. I have my...

http://marijuana-alcoholquiz.com/home/ Just got this in an email from the Marijuana Policy Project. There are 10 questions, and for each one you get wrong you have to take a shot! At the end of the quiz, it calculates your BAC based on how many questions you got wrong. I'm sure we can all...

A breaking story from MY local news: Plastic clamshell packaging causes over 6000 injuries every year. Apparently consumers are "outraged" over these hard-to-open packages (really? "outraged"? methinks some consumers need a hobby!). Anyway... not really political, just thought I'd throw it...

Let's erase all party lines for just a moment, and focus on one very important issue that I think we can probably all agree on. Our government has too much power. Let's stop pointing fingers at one another and trying to pin the blame on red or blue. We can all agree that somewhere along the...

I was doing some reading about rooting clones without using any kind of special rooting gel/powder/liquid and I see perlite mentioned as a suitable medium for clones. Some recommend mixing 50/50 soil/perlite. Is this accurate, to anyone's knowledge? Does the nutrient content of the soil need to...

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/28/obama-song-larger-performance-school-official-says/ Manno said the Obama song was originally part of an eight-skit assembly program performed on Feb. 27 that marked Black History Month, as well as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays...

I don't have health insurance, but the rest of my family does. My fiancee's employer offers coverage, but we couldn't afford to insure the whole family so he and one of the kids are covered through his employer. This costs us about $300 per month. To put the entire family on the plan would...

Just want to hear your thoughts on democracy in the US. What is it, and do we have it? If we don't, should we? If we do, give some examples of democracy at work in the US.

So, Faux News has been on about this song performed by some school children in New Jersey. The song "praises" Obama and has conservatives shitting all over themselves about indoctrination and calling for the school officials to be fired. Take note that this incident actually happened back in...

I just want to hear some honest, informed opinions on why you think socialism is so horrible. Please bear in mind that socialism is not the same as communism, fascism, or nazism. Let's just stick with socialism for now. 2 questions: What do you think socialism means? And Why do you...

I thought it was ironic that Fox News picked up this story from the associated press. It was buried in their news pages a few days ago, and now even a search of the site doesn't turn up the article... Here it is: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,553423,00.html Just thought it was...

Hollywood speaks out on behalf of the health insurance industry. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/22/protect-insurance-compani_n_294406.html

:mrgreen::mrgreen: This, my friends, is the result of the mainstream media on the fragile, high fructose corn syrup saturated, already feeble minds of Americans. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUPMjC9mq5Y&feature=fvw Remember kids, these same "news entities" you rely on for your daily dose...

So I've got 2 plants that are the same age (3 weeks) and I gave them their first dose of fertilizer a few days ago (organic bone/blood meal tea). Both plants are in the same soil mix, and received the same amount of the fertilizer tea. I've checked the ph of the soil in both pots and they were...

I'm shopping for a new light. Been using CFLs and T5, but I'm running out of places to plug things in, so I thought I'd make that last outlet count and purchase some HID lighting. I found a great deal on a 400W system here...

I've read and heard a lot of very conflicting accounts of amanita trips. Anyone here have firsthand experience? How many did you eat and what were the results? Does cooking them have a noticeable affect on the nausea factor? There's a place nearby that sells them fairly cheap, and I was...

So, I'm going out today to get some lovely soil and transplant my babies into bigger pots. I can't find any place around that sells FoxFarm or any of the other "recommended" soils for growing cannabis. What's the best homemade mixture I can make with things readily available from a place like...

Interesting read, especially for those who still insist the US has the "best health care" in the world (or even close to it). Common fallacy among the people of the US is that our current system "works", and "socialized" medicine is bad (despite not actually knowing what a socialized system of...
