Toxicity of Illicit Substances

An interesting article from the American Scientist was published that discusses the ratio of a fatal does to effective dose of almost all the illicit drugs on the market today.

It’s a thought-provoking concept that gives you a visual understanding of the toxicity of many of the drugs we consume today.

As you can see, alcohol is a lot more toxic than most people realize, while marijuana is as non-toxic a substance as you’ll ever come across.

Let’s see what the article has to say on this subject:

The least physiologically toxic substances, those requiring 100 to 1,000 times the effective dose to cause death, include psilocybin mushrooms and marijuana, when ingested. I’ve found no published cases in the English language that document deaths from smoked marijuana, so the actual lethal dose is a mystery. My surmise is that smoking marijuana is more risky than eating it but still safer than getting drunk.

A simple ratio such as this exposes a large problem in the United States, the least toxic substance know to man is now illegal, and the major cause behind the imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

I wonder how long simple, scientific evidence such as this is going to be ignored?

Peru Narcotics Destruction

Since we showed everyone how Macedonia gets down when it comes to destroying narcotics, we might as well keep the trend going.

This photoset shows police in Peru burning large amounts of various illegal drugs. To be exact, over 5 tons of cocaine, marijuana, opium and heroin.

This batch covers the last 4 months of Peru’s law enforcement efforts.

T.H. Seeds: The Leafblower

For anyone who dreams of going to a Cannabis Cup and the wondrous activities that may await there, this video is for you.

T.H. Seeds take a little bit of McGyver style know-how and combine it with the anniversary edition of their high-quality strain HP 13.

I’ve been smoked out plenty of times, but these guys take the phrase literally and proceed to decimate a large number of people with their potent buds. On top of that, you get to see and hear a few choice pieces of knowledge from one of the most respected seed banks in the world.

Dutch Masters: Corona Deluxe

The classic Dutch Master: Corona Deluxe is and will be forever a favorite of mine. This cigar has all the major elements required to make a great blunt.

Second, the outer leaf can be easily taken off when lightly moistened and used for the final preparation of the blunt. This comes in handy for beginner blunt rollers who don’t have the control with just one leaf. Make sure to keep it moist!

The inner leaf is big enough to roll up any size blunt that may be needed. You can chop it down for a mini or leave it full size for a serious session. And to top it, off just wrap up the inner leaf with the outer leaf for a nice tight blunt.

Last but not least, these cigars burn at the perfect speed. Not too fast and not too slow. However, I have had some difficulty with these blunts canoing every now and then. Luckily, this can be fixed with some saliva near the burning edge.

I have always enjoyed a nice Dutch Master: Corona Deluxe and with all the flavors out now, you can easily find one that fits your taste! And for all you beginner rollers, a Dutchie is a great way to perfect your skills.

Medical Marijuana: White Widow

White Widow is one of the most famous cannabis strains in the modern era. I have only come across this strain twice and both times it has really done the job. This indica and sativa hybrid is a great all around bud that gets you lifted quickly and heavily.

The effects from this top-quality herb are extreme. The buzz is powerful and energetic, yet social, leaving you feeling somewhat energized. The taste is divine and very sweet. A must for anyone who thinks they are a true strain connoisseur!

Most people automatically assume that kush’s are the best strains around, but beware of the mighty White Widow. A mid-priced bud that is sure to hit the spot and then some.
