Hi, you are probably talking way above some minds, I see there are no
replies to your article. Or may be they are all just accepting it.
Thanks for expressing it. I feel it gives a hint that cannabis is hard
serious work. It must be a risk to be alone from helpful minds in use of it.

Your approach is to dealing with an existing use situation.
Some of the people who read this group like to collect my analogies. Here
is one.
I grew up with electronics. The early interest in crystal sets and single
valve stuff made from old hearing aids then single transistor stuff still
interests me. Sometimes I still try component repair on devices. But more
and more I like to get on with using them. Sometimes there are single
transistors on sets. But more and more it is whole motherboards from
computers - very large numbers of circuits - which get rejected and
changed rather than one blown transistor in a memory chip. It is not
possible to get the memory chip apart to repair it anyway.
What you are describing seems a bit like working perhaps with component
repair rather than getting on with the bigger issues.
Yes I liked playing with old hard drives, using the spaces on them that
still work. But the big new drives make them look so puny. Now I have one
that may be a little shock sensitive. So I try to take care with it. I
wonder how long it will remain without bad sectors. Should I go to a RAID
system?
With humans I tend to want to see other levels acting, so I persevere
longer in working with partially operating ones.
I could string out the analogy - explain more - debate its problem leads
&c. You may be describing something like reinstalling a program from some
elses computer. Then you run of the risk of them having a virus.
There are very many sides to all this, really the analogy for what I am
trying to do is to make sure that there are enough copies of the well
tried programs left which have not been on a machine which may have had a
virus. The analogous thing that you are on seems to be makinig use of
machines/programs/data which have had a virus. Have you heard of the
viruses which can destroy the BIOS of some computers? Older computers may
be more immune to them.
So I suppose as you read this it will be anaolgous to having another
mixed up computer to deal with.
I just now note that this particular branch of the thread has stayed on
bionet.neuroscience.
I wonder what the neural networks approach to the spread of of a mind
changing drug through a culture is?
