DÉCHIRURE - Albert Hofmann
29 avril 2008 près Alex
Le père de l'expérimentation psychédélique, Albert Hofmann, a passé loin.
Le plus connu pour sa découverte de lsd (ou Lysergic Diethylamide acide pour toi les types scientifiques), Albert est également responsable de la synthèse de psylocybin. Je ne sais pas lesquels de nos lecteurs ont eu esprit-changer des expériences, mais elles sont le résultat direct de cet homme connu peu, ses qualifications scientifiques et un petit tiret de la chance.
Après avoir créé LSD-25 et l'avoir laissé seul pendant 5 années, Albert a accidentellement ingéré un petit échantillon tout en revisitant son travail. Sans cette petite erreur, il n'aurait jamais pris 250ug de lsd sur son tour de vélo à la maison.
C'est un jour triste pour les personnes responsables dans le monde entier, pas les débiles qui prennent 15 étiquettes et extrémité vers le haut arrêtées par la police tout en essayant d'attraper le soleil dans leur bouche. Il a pris les boules sérieuses pour être la première personne pour prendre un voyage vers le bas Ruelle d'hallucinogène et je salue l'homme.
Si vous voulez apprendre plus au sujet d'Albert et de sa vie, vérifiez le plus récent La LA chronomètre l'article (très descriptif) ou sien Page de Wikipedia.

Correction : Regarde comme je salissait vers le haut, grâce à lecteurs lsdboy et nos autres qui ont attrapé 250mg de l'erreur de lsd. Il a été maintenant corrigé à 250ug.

23 avril 2008 près Alex
J'espère que vous pouvez tous dire, mais nous commençons aux choses de rampe vers le haut ici @ le tFS. Le blog v3 est en cours de développement actif, et nous sommes vraiment excités au sujet des nouveaux dispositifs et de l'installation technique qui est remontée.
Ce dit, notre site Web est seulement aussi fort que le contenu là-dessus. Nous voulons savoir ce que vous pensez à la version en cours du tFS et ce que vous voudriez voir dans la version 3. Nulle part en notre environ page il indique que nous sommes des lecteurs d'esprit, ainsi il est temps pour toi des types d'intensifier et de nous donner les nouvelles.
Cet aperçu rapide, lié ci-dessous, ira un long chemin en nous aidant à tracer dehors et à concevoir des poteaux et à contenter cet appel à TOI. Si vous pensez quelque chose nous souffle, a laissé savent. Si vous pensez que quelque chose basculée et toi voulez pour voir plus de elle, laissez-nous savent cela aussi.
Prenez l'aperçu ! Prenez l'aperçu ! Prenez l'aperçu !
Ainsi, le résultat, plus les personnes qui nous aident en complétant ceci, plus notre contenu va être mieux. I hope that it’s a good trade-off, 2 minutes of time for some killer articles to read & pictures/videos look at.
As always, if there’s anything missing, hit us up via the Contact page or via email.
Oh yea, fill out the survey!
Stoners in the Mist = Original
April 22nd, 2008 by Alex
Somewhere in the afterlife, Steve Irwin is crying. Why? Because ever since his Crocodile Hunter persona became popular, unoriginal people have been ripping it off. Unfortunately, the worst version I’ve ever seen has just surfaced.
CelebStoner, and a few other sources, tipped me off to one of the stupidest anti-drug campaigns in existence. I say ‘one of’ because after doing posts like these, it’s hard to be surprised anymore.
Suffice to say, this latest PSA plays on all of the weed smoker stereotypes that have been debunked again and again: lazy, no activities, no intelligence, unsuccessful, etc… It’s like getting the same shitty tasting sandwich wrapped in sparkling new packaging, the contents are still rotten.
If you want to waste some time, check out the Stoners in the Mist campaign. I suggest watching it while high, it’s extremely amusing.
Super High Me 4/20 Screening Event
April 21st, 2008 by Alex
According to the Super High Me staff, the experimental “Roll Your Own Screenings” approach to their movie release has been extremely successful.
With an expected total of 40,000 release-day viewers (both public and private screenings), Super High Me has done an impressive job of coordinating a grassroots promotion campaign.
Having seen the movie myself, I was thoroughly entertained. And, coincidentally, thoroughly high.
The Doug Benson documentary covered more areas than I expected, especially the physical & mental tests that he had to undergo during the pre-smoke and post-smoke months. Although not the most scientifically convincing, they show that a functional adult with a higher than average appetite for marijuana is at no significant disadvantage.
His comedy was great throughout both the sober and non-sober tests, and I’m bummed no tFS staff could make it to his 4/20 show at the Laugh Factory in LA. My only complaint might be that the ending was abrupt. Instead of a quick synopsis or a “what I’ve learned” piece, Super High Me cuts out right after the 31st day of smoking is finished.
Then again, if that’s my singular complaint about a movie, the director & producer have done a damn good job.
If you’ve seen Super High Me, let us know what you thought. Until we get Doug to do 30 days of Smoking for tFS, this is the best it’s going to get for one of our favorite comedians.
theFreshScent 420 Sneak Peak
April 20th, 2008 by Alex
It’s an exciting day here at tFS because we finally get to give you a quick glimpse into what we’ve been working on for the past few months. Let’s dive right in…
First, we’re happy to announce theFreshScent Twitter account. If you’re not familiar with Twitter, it’s a microblogging service that uses instant messaging, SMS or the web to send people 140-character bites about what you’re doing.
Even if you aren’t seeing a lot of posts on tFS, we’re very busy working on some of the stuff that I’m about to show below. By checking up on our Twitter feed, you’ll be able to see what’s keeping us busy and away from writing.
We thought this would be a cool way to keep in contact with our audience, even when we aren’t able to post as much as we’d like. Also, expect some links to videos, images or news stories that we find funny or interesting to check out. You know, so you don’t get too bored with us.
It’s a great service that has really taken off, so head on over to the page and follow us, or sign-up, or just grab our RSS feed and you’ll be good to go.
On to the next news…
As everyone knows, the site has been really choppy, quality wise, and we find that unacceptable. We also find it a bit stale to be honest. This design has been live since September 20th, 2006. That’s almost two years, and it’s time for a face lift.
Above you is a quick look at theFreshScent v3. Our new take on what we want to deliver to the Counter-Culture world. You might wonder why it’s taken so long to put this together, but we’ve re-thought this site from the ground up and made changes accordingly.
I can’t spill all the beans just yet, but expect plenty of new features when launch day is announced. There is a lot of exciting news on the horizon for tFS readers and it’ll be here before you know it. Who knows, we might even have another sneak peek for you.
As always, if you have any feedback for us we’d love to hear it. Oh, and Happy 4/20!
Attack of theFreshScent
April 19th, 2008 by Alex
Well, well, well. It looks like our friends over at Attack of the Show have forgotten a certain green-friendly blog during their 4/20 blog roundup.
No worries. We’ve been flying under the radar lately, but just wait until this time next year and tFS is going to be at the top of that list.
Also, 3 links? That’s all they could find?
I think these guys need to step up their game a bit and respect the tech-head smokers out there. We do exist (unless magic elf men created this site and I’m just too stoned to tell), so it’s time to put a voice to the movement.
Would You Look At That, A New Post…
April 10th, 2008 by Alex
Hey Everyone!
Didn’t expect to see something new here did you? Well, we’re here to change all that. I know it’s been almost year since we last dropped anything of significance, and we’re sorry about the all time it’s taken. We’ve definitely been off-the-job longer than we’d hoped, but there’s always tomorrow to look forward to and we’re working to bring it closer each day. Now, let’s get past the intro and on to the good news…
First, we’ve fixed most of the outstanding issues with the site. It ended up being the combination of old plugins and an out-of-date main database that really screwed everything up. With the introduction of WP2.5, some serious house cleaning and a bit of re-programming here and there - the current incarnation of tFS is back and ready to go.
The footer is currently being worked on, and there is still a hiccup with the tFS Headshop Locator, but other than that everything is in working order. Feed Valley is back and in full effect. If you have any suggestions for new feeds to add there, shoot us an email. Expect improvements on the site to be ongoing during the upcoming few weeks.
Next, we’re going to start updating a bit more frequently. Not just the tFS Debris, but also some comments on an article and a quick review here and there. We have plenty going on in the background (yes, I know you’ve heard that line before), but now everything is running smoothly we’ll be able to drop some news and updates along the way.
Last, we’re just looking forward to getting everything moving again. We’ve been away from the game for too long and copycats have tried to take our place.
Not happening.
Expect tFS to be the center of innovation in the Counter-Culture industry and stay tuned for the coming attractions!
+ the tFS Team
