Without defending any drugs and being "that guy", I'm not even interested in hearing about illicit drugs prior to alcohol as i have lost family and friends to it and it is a much larger problem, but t

The implications of all you idiots that drive an illegal industry that is responsible for most of the crime and human injustices in the world

nope, that's religion.

because you are selfish fktards

nope, that's you, and it's just a shame you can't see it. You're a bit on the angry side too bro.

Stop using and there won't be an industry now and in the future, end of story.

Drugs have been around since the beginning of time across the globe and in every culture, and always will be...you're lacking understanding of humanity if you think otherwise. Even the Muslim culture, which frowns on even having a drink, allows smoking.

Just as many LEGITIMATE industries as you would if you were to home-brew beer.

In fact, more legitimate industries - you'd be supporting a (likely relatively small) business from which you obtained all your kit (presuming hydro). You'd be supporting the local electricity suppliers (lol). You'd be supporting the local Bunnings/Masters/Nursery should you obtain any fertilisers or treatments from them instead of the original shop that sold you the kit.

You're just not supporting the right industries who sacrifice a portion of their exorbitant profits to certain influential/authoritative figures....or is that a little too left wing to laugh at? haha

When I was dealing, I wouldn't sell to anyone older than 14. Because, I knew the younger kids wouldn't get hooked on the harder stuff. I didn't want to be that bloke who led someone down a dark path with my gateway drug.

Say what you guys want. But I have morals.

Cool story.

I will tell it to the next patient in ED.

you never answered my qustions about medical use

Because its a stupid question. Who in their right mind would restrict the use of anything to heal a sick person. This has nothing to do with illicit drugs.

no need to be a flamin mongrel. was asking for your thoughts.

I apologize I thought you were baiting me.

My thoughts are that all things should be used to heal the sick, no one has a right to pose restrictions on any medicinal substance when more conventional treatments have not been successful. Healing is healing doesn't matter what you use, its about what ever works not what is convention.

Apologies again.

That's the point though, you're only seeing one part, the worst, of the overall picture. So while yes, it can lead to some very bad situations for individuals, and control is needed, your view isn't a balanced one because it appears to be based on the worst case scenario and not the overall big picture.

You'll probably read this as bait, and I'll admit in a tiny way it is (though I will ensure I remain mature here), but what are your thoughts on using psychoactive compounds such a Psilocin (active alkaloid in magic mushrooms) for medicinal purposes such as the treatment of cluster headaches, depression, and end-of-life anxiety/stress? Or MDMA combined with an appropriate therapist to ease PTSD in members of the armed forces who've returned from distressing combat environments?

The above is completely separate to the issues we've debated thus far. Consider the above being 'legal' in explicitly controlled therapeutic settings, using pharmaceutical grade/purity compounds.

Do you still consider them to be harmful drugs, or do you accept their medicinal value in these settings (again, this is nothing to do with someone like me using them recreationally)?

One I don't expect you to respond to: do you dismiss claims of cannabinoids having positive effects in cancer treatment (I don't mean "cure" by the way, that's well and truly still up for debate)?

I think you misunderstand the circumstances in which they'd be used. MDMA for example will allow the patient to open up a lot more to the therapist, in the case that perhaps what was causing their PTSD was being held inside. MDMA removes inhibitions and social barriers very well, so for a patient emotionally 'unwilling' to openly discuss their experiences, it can make it a lot easier.

Depression can be caused by a great many things as we know, and I surely don't support the use of ANY drug as a bandaid fix - including and least of all conventional anti-depressants like SSRI/SNRIs. I believe the use of psychedelics such mushrooms allow the user to see things from a different perspective and work through them. You'd be surprised some of the changes you can make in your mind whilst under their influence - even as someone who's used them exclusively for "recreational" purpose, I can attest to these effects; I've broken down some social barriers of my own whilst under their influence, such as my massive fear of rejection by the opposite sex. It allowed me to realise such things as our time on earth being limited, and to let certain opportunities slip is irrational as that "time" will never be repeated, etc etc. Hard to explain, particularly to someone who hasn't experienced the psychedelic headspace themselves, but I assure you beyond the "fun" there are advantages in using such things for working through psychological...uhhh...situations? (lost for words).

But again, no I don't support their use as a bandaid for anything that has a true underlying cause.

I probably should have termed it "MDMA assisted therapy" in my first post to be honest, that's a much more appropriate and accurate term. The therapy is the 'fix', the MDMA just lubricates the conversation.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      New CAS just turned up from NZ Wiring. Looks like a nice bit of gear.  So, yeah. Triggered, bro. Realised I may as well do the cam belt while mucking about with it so will order one of them.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.
