Man, I love your taste in music too Tommy! As must be apparent by now, I like just about all music. It all has its time and place. About the only genre I don't like is rap, hip-hop. But then, who said that is music?

Scientists funded by Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen unveiled a $55 million computerized atlas of the human brain Tuesday, offering the first interactive research guide to the anatomy and genes that animate the mind. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703518704576258842075419366.html Allen Institute for Brain Science - gene search http://human.brain-map.org/ Wow!

I like your taste Brew.

Nice to know that Ron and I aren't the only old farts on this board.

Thanks to Xeno for this: Psychedelic drug cuts brain blood flow and connections http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20358-psychedelic-drug-cuts-brain-blood-flow-and-connections.html

Ahem.......uh, pardon my pedanticism.

Poor guy! ;D

Not trying to trump you guys in age, but I just had to chime in: Jimi Hendrix, 1968 Atlanta Municipal Auditorium. I was 19, and it was a date for firsts, including actually hearing a guitar talk (I swear it wasn't the acid). ;D Later the same year, Janis Joplin West Palm Beach Pop Festival, and the list goes on...

I would think that the changes come from both, the psychedelics and relief from the hell of ch. How could such organoleptic substances not have an effect on the psyche? Good observation Jeff!

Jerry, I don't know whether or not shiitake would stop CH, but I doubt it. Did you realize that psilocybin mushrooms grow wild out of cow pods?

I think this article from August, last year addresses this issue. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3101327/LSD-could-cure-depression.html

As TV's Dr. House said, "LSD acts on serotonin receptors in the brain which can stop a migraine in its tracks" LSD, LSA & psilocybin, all, anecdotally will stop a migraine in its tracks.

Thanks Doug. No prob (I always knew that I was a God anyway. ;D Am I self-centered, or is it just me? )

I think that steak from Texas, just like everything else from that state, just has more hormones. ;D
