On 420 Eve I went to Chabot Space & Science Center, located in Oakland hills in sequoia forest, to attend a lecture The Botanical Genius of Cannabis by David Presti ( professor of neurobiology at UC Berkeley) One of the statements he made I found interesting: "If plants had IQ the cannabis would rank as a genius."<br /><br />I have to admit, I do not actually know how to get high on marijuana. I usually just fall asleep without experiencing the magic of altered consciousness. (I guess I fall unconscious.) Once I had a real bad trip by eating too much of a dark chocolate with weed. I felt heavy is if a ton of cement had fallen on me and my ability to put sentences together slowed down tremendously. Even to say just yes or no was a huge effort, and of course, I though I was going to die.<br /><br />The lecture at Chabot's Planetarium followed by Pink Floyd's The wall and Dark Side of the Moon laser show which felt slightly psychedelic and I liked it.<br /><br />Here is Presti's short piece on Leary in case anyone is interested: <br /><br />https://blogs.berkeley.edu/2011/06/23/legend-of-a-mind-the-archives-of-timothy-leary/ Branka Teslahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17135873139568212040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5887440039323868659.post-88229814320261848832019-04-27T10:41:27.868-07:002019-04-27T10:41:27.868-07:00I think I've read seven of those 13 hippie boo...I think I've read seven of those 13 hippie books.<br /><br />You know, now that we have 22 Marvel movies, one could map them onto the two Major Arcana of the Tarot.<br />0 Hulk<br />I Dr. Strange<br />II Scarlet Witch<br />III Valkyrie<br />IV Black Panther<br />V Nick Fury<br />VI Tony Stark and Pepper<br />VII The Avengers Quinjet<br />VIII Nebula<br />IX The Venerable One<br />X The Box Office<br />XI Black Widow<br />XII Groot<br />XIII That Guy Who Gives Out the Soul Stone<br />XIV Gamora<br />XV Thanos<br />XVI Avengers Mansion<br />XVII Captain Marvel<br />XVIII Mantis<br />XIX Ant Man and Wasp<br />XX The Aeon of the Marvel Movie<br />XXI The Marvel Universe Eric Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04312033917401203598noreply@blogger.com
