| It's not hard to understand how propaganda works. You don't need a college degree, or to even to read any of those thick textbooks everybody hates. Everything relevant can be explained in one not-particularly-long article. And, I guarantee you, you must understand how propaganda targets you, to immunize yourself against the attempts.

Mal wieder was zum Thema Hanf/Cannabis... und obwohl ich das Zeugs noch nie persönlich probiert habe, bin ich doch sehr dafür, dass es legalisiert wird, denn im Gegensatz zu Alkohol oder anderen Drogen ist es nicht nur eher harmlos, sondern kann sogar noch sonst ganz nützlich sein... | comments: Leave a comment  |

| The tendency of the average person to believe he or she is better-than-average is known as the "above-average effect," and it flies in the face of logic - by definition, it is impossible for a majority of people to be above average. Clearly a large number of the self-described "above average" individuals are actually below average.

| Cognitive dissonance is the extreme emotional discomfort we feel when two important beliefs, attitudes or perceptions collide. Humans cannot tolerate dissonance for long, so they ease the tension by making a change in belief or attitude - and justifying the change.

This imagery is reported to be more vivid than in normal dreaming, and is a powerful method of meditation, which is reported to speed up the process of enlightenment. This technique helps allow dreamers control over their dreams.

| Most people are surprisingly bad at spotting fake smiles. One possible explanation for this is that it may be easier for people to get along if they don't always know what others are really feeling.

| Not only do dreams offer a private means to explore inner reality and to gain unique, undeniable, personal experiences, but there is overwhelming evidence that they can be used to improve waking life, often immeasurably, supporting Shakespeare's age-old claim by MacBeth that sleep and dreams "are chief nourishers in life's feast."

Dass der weit verbreitete Cannabis illegal sein soll, ist doch eigentlich totaler Mumpitz - überhaupt sind etliche illegale Drogen ja weniger gefährlich als Alkohol und Tabak, die man ganz legal bekommt... aber das wussten wir ja schon vorher, oder?
Auch im Spiegel wird's erwähnt: Alkohol gefährlicher als Ecstasy und LSD
Aber überhaupt: Drogen sind Privatangelegenheit!
Update: Heavy Marijuana Use Doesn't Damage Brain "Long-term and even daily marijuana use doesn't appear to cause permanent brain damage, adding to evidence that it can be a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of diseases, say researchers." Digg, April 2007
Marijuana History and Timeline The Marijuana, cannabis, or hemp plant is one of the oldest psychoactive plants known to humanity. Cannabis has become one of the most widespread and diversified of plants. It grows as weed and cultivated plant all over the world in a variety of climates and soils. Cannabis preparations have been used as remedies for thousands of years... Digg, April 2007
Pot Shrinks Tumors (Government Knew 1974) While trying to prove the opposite, a researcher stumbled onto the fact that marijuana aggressively kills some forms of cancer. The government stepped in, shut down the study, and burned all the research. The study has since been proven to be true. Digg, April 2007
Medical Marijuana: The Replacement for Very Dangerous Drugs Cannabis/Marijuana medicines were at one time the "drugs of choice" in the United States, until they were declared illegal. They had been used for 100 specific medical problems through the use of about 30 prescription medicines. Marijuana is less addictive and less dangerous than Starbuck's espresso. Digg, Mai 2007
The Real Reason Cannabis is Illegal There are two reasons that cannabis is illegal - money and racism. Anslinger, the man responsible for making hemp illegal through a back-door loophole, pushed through the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937, making cultivation of hemp legal only if a tax stamp were obtained from the government. The stamps didn't exist, and so could not be obtained. Digg, Mai 2007 | comments: Leave a comment  |
