Truth? Scientific investigation seeks to discover facts, not truth. Debating truth is better left to philosophical and religious discussions if one has a need to deal in absolutes. Public health agencies are concocting a vast global conspiracy to hide the truth? Thousands of scientists are hiding the real truth, but are lying to the entire world by presenting alternative facts? Not buying that at all!

I posted very little in her threads. Asked for clarification a few times, but no response was forthcoming. Disinformation posted by anti-vaxxers on this forum have no relevance and should not be allowed.

Didn't Cheya delete some of Bindi's posts? To be quite honest, the entire anti-vaxx BS should not be given a public platform. After all, Reddit, Twitter and YouTube are banning COVID disinformation and this site should rise to those standards. How many people have to die or have long haul symptoms due to a few spreading big lies? Regarding the few that are spreading disinformation there are about twelve persons across various social media sites that are responsible for this and millions buy into it almost without question.

Reenactment of 2001 in front of the DEA building in D.C. Demanding the DEA evolve on Cannabis policy.

Maca root, ZMA Fuel and PollenAid are my go to supplements. Keeps it all working well!! I have read that LongJack provides a testosterone boost, but haven't tried it yet. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pollenaid&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

Are the seeds sativa or indica? Indica is easier to grow due to a shorter flowering time. Watch out for pathogens since it sounds like you are growing indoors. Botrytis cinerea or bud rot will devastate your grow and biologicals are the best for controlling pathogens..

Bonsai requires that leaves are trimmed back, but the leaves are there for a very good reason. I suggest buying a grow manual for specifics of indoor growing. Ed Rosenthall’s books are a good place to start.

Panama Red. Very fine bud!

Is this container large enough?
-
No way! Some of us remember what happened awhile back with the Jeff crowd.

Miracle Grow is crap! Synthetic fertilizers are not good for water systems or the soil for that matter. Nitrate runoff pollutes wells and ground water. I also use Gro-Power which is about as close to organic as you can get. NPK is well balanced and doesn't push trees, shrubbery, perennials or annuals, cannabis loves it too.

Potted up to larger pots from 5 gal. yesterday. I should have done it a month ago since all were root bound. Made my own mix which should work well. Happy Frog mix, ( Humboldt County) organic compost, composted steer manure. https://foxfarm.com/product/happy-frog-potting-soil

Here 6 mature and 6 immature plants are allowed at anyone time. Legal to have whatever each plant produces. Will be making Rick Simpson oil. Removed a precancerous spot from my face two years ago with a concentrate. https://www.marijuanamoment.net/new-mexico-governor-signs-marijuana-legalization-bill-making-state-third-to-enact-reform-within-days/

Texas was one of the most draconian states around and from what I hear legalization will happen in the next few years. Austin is the driving force behind full legalization which means big bucks. Already Texas is feeling the squeeze from Colorado, NM and Oklahoma ( medical only). Texans hang out around dispensaries here asking card holders to purchase Cannabis for them. That will change 4-22 when anyone can purchase from any dispensary.

Cannabis is fully legal here in NM. Possess and grow your own are perfectly fine. One Santa Fe County Commissioner tried to restrict home grow to indoors only since she was concerned about water usage and odor. Cannabis is very drought tolerant and six plants is a drop in the bucket compared to the insane development of multi million dollar houses in the county. After phone calls from a number of residents the commission backed off. Forget autoflower and starting to cultivate now unless indoors is an option. Cannabis is very light sensitive whereby bud production begins right around summer solstice. Mine began producing buds about a week before solstice and average 3-4 ft in height. Will be potting up to 10 gal containers this week and adding more phosphorus based plant food. A friend of mine grew a 10 ft one last year. Yield was 10.5 lbs. Home grow is a tradition around here going back decades.
-
Unfortunately, Republicans will do anything to stop full legalization There might be a Dem or two opposing. Repealing the filibuster can help.
-
Given the recent discussion here my post is relevant in that a few here post conspiracy laden BS which is a danger to many! Facts overrule BS!

I reread it a few weeks ago. Well worth it. -
Seeing, Recognising & Maintaining One's Enlightening Potential
ralis replied to C T's topic in Buddhist Textual Studies
By extension, space both inner and outer space. The Longde series of practices are of vital importance in realizing both. Longde is what I was referring to last year in my response to you, but have never elaborated on it here. Sky gazing which is part of Longde tends to be a bit controversial here among some. Norbu taught regarding mind and nature of mind and he never ventured very far into it, but was a very elementary introduction. Mind and nature of mind could be translated as space and phenomena which are inseparable. Itzak Benthov's book "Stalking The Wild Pendulum" describes it as stillness and movement. His book is well worth reading! -

I don't come on here that often anymore, but your post requires a direct response. "Crazy old Norbu"? Exactly, what is your point? I Did you ever meet him and pay close attention to what he was transmitting? What I observed of the crowd around Norbu when I first met him in 1989 were wannabes and hangers-on who followed Norbu across most of this planet in the hopes that Norbu would be a surrogate parent. Lot's of projection and little or no responsibility for their own lives. If you are referring to Dzogchen in your first paragraph, that doesn't even come close to defining Dzogchen, which is without definition, shape, or form. Nor, is Dzogchen about some sort of meditation practice or even quieting the mind. Quieting implies some sort of effort. Dzogchen is all and everything with no limits in space and time. The bold above is for @Steve who asked me to define the key that is usually missed in Dzogchen teachings. Space is not a trivial concept in Dzogchen, but encompasses the continuum of infinite potential as Norbu so aptly stated it, time and time again! -
I covered that in another post. There are exceptions for some that may have allergic reactions and I don't have a problem with that. Perhaps there will be an oral vaccine that has different components. I don't know if you read my previous post a few pages ago, but I quoted the components of COVID-19 vaccine for public information.

By having a libertarian absolute freedom point of view, then how do most of us live? Public health is at issue and not freedom to do whatever one wants. Others rights supersede my rights and have the right to infect others with impunity?
-
In addition to deaths, there are any number of long and short term health problems with infected persons as well as asymptomatic persons. Cardiac inflammation, memory problems, loss of smell/taste, brain fog, loss of limbs etc. Here in the US there have been mandatory vaccine programs, particularly in schools. E.g. smallpox and polio.

So will I and I was correct!
