Some unexpected insight.

"In my opinion, it is okay if Adults had ADHD and use pharmaceutical support like Adderall, but to give it to children is not okay. I would also not give Coffee to children. Coffee and Amphetamines are for Adults not for children. I hope that it will be realized soon.
It should be thought on it that the natural amphetamine Ephedra and its energizing and concentration promotion effects was used to support the hunt. It is a tool.
Children should play with toys and not with tools."

I suppose I just wanted to ride my bicycle, I always knew I was addicted to the wind in my hair.

This day has many different meanings for different people. But to recognize the anniversary of one human's intelligence for chemical creation is an odd phenomenon which brings together an interesting group of individuals in a manner that is not just in it's infancy but one I think will grow and like the inevitable force of humanities knack for tinkering only enlarge in depth and provide layers of influence and positive intrigue if approached correctly.

Though such as it may be a day for a particular anniversary I not only would like to spend this day in thought and reverence for the gift of Albert Hofmann and his life of 102 years, but would like to take this time and hold in my mind the will and hopes for those who dared to seek that apple which is engulfed in draconian forbode.

I would not only like to bring up the idea but also prod the thought to any of you that have taken your time to read this, and to consider those thousands and millions that have sacrificed luxuries, families, social status, personal and private freedoms, imprisoned, insulted, chastised, and even executed simply because they sought something or believed in something more then what is considered reality.

As the Church Inquisition silences and censors the work of Galileo, we today hardly look twice or even comment that the same Revolutionaries are treated no better.

Nicotine linked to pleasurable feelings

By ADAM NAGOURNEY
Why is it so hard to quit smoking cigarettes? One reason may be that nicotine acts on the same brain system in humans as heroin and morphine, a new study has found. Earlier studies in animals had found that that nicotine could set off the release of brain chemicals called opioids, which play a role in suppressing pain and causing pleasurable feelings. The new study is the first to establish that the same process occurs in people, the researchers said.
To prove that opioids were involved, the researchers first had to figure out a way to use positron emission tomography or PET scanners to measure opioid brain activity. They also had to persuade officials at the University of Michigan to waive the no-smoking rules and allow their volunteers to smoke in the hospital's scanner. (They solved the problem by figuring out a way to vent the smoke outside.)
The study, led by David J. Scott, a graduate student, found that smokers appeared to have an increased flow of opioids in the brain all the time. After they smoked a cigarette, there was even more opioid activity in the parts of the brain involved in emotion and desire. The findings were presented recently at a meeting of the Society for Neuroscience.
Scott said that he had expected to confirm the nicotine-opioid link, but that it was more pronounced that he had thought. He also said there was no question that the nicotine was responsible, since the volunteers were given both regular cigarettes and nicotine-free ones.
"What we're seeing is purely the pharmacological action of the nicotine," he said.
