I'm thinking of using a psychedelic to see if I can rewire my brain and get rid of years of brainworms. I'm seeing that there's a lot of psychedelic research going on and I'm wondering whether to get involved in that rather than just try and do this myself. It would be a guided process and contribute to scientific research. If I just did this myself, I would likely research a good dose for psilocybin mushrooms and give it a go, but so many results from a lot of these trials seem so positive, and I feel like that might be the better way to go.

Do any of you anons know anything about psychedelics? Would you recommend scientific trials or just that I do this myself? Either way, there are thought patterns that I really don't think I can break without psychedelic assistance, and I have mixed feelings as to whether this becoming scientifically legitimised is a good thing or not. I don't want this area to become some sterilised, monopolised product, and I don't want to contribute to that. But on the other hand if it goes mainstream and helps a ton of people, I will be proud to have been part of the legitimisation process.

How tests and exams determine success

No.14398928 ViewReplyOriginalReport
Let's say there is the guy that always gets "meh" but not great achievements and scores on the final exams, studies and what not.
But then looking at more abstract concepts and courses the same thing happens here except that all those that did great were filtered once they explored the subject a bit more.

How do you call that and why is life so cruel?

After getting a tooth pulled they say you shouldnt smoke for 72 hours or else you might dislodge the blood clot and you would get a dry socket

If the blood clot was removed, wouldnt you just continue bleeding again and a new blood clot would form?

Also do I really need to wait 72 hours after a uncomplicated non surgary tooth pulling? It wasnt my wisdom tooth, it was the upper back molar

i am going to ask a question about math and include some "proof" that 1 = 0.01253731343 (or at least to that amount of decimal places). this is math for money/saving/investing etc.
please help. i also wont really be able to reply, as im bad with numbers. this took a lot of working out and im double-checking here. more posts after this one

the following working out is for my great plan for with energy drinks - this might be good for you, the students ...
>18x4 (72) 500ml cans of monster energy drink = 60 £
>& monster energy drink 1x can RRP = £1.35 (RRP)
(14 days) = £18.90 , ((£)18.90x5.1) = 96.39 £ RRP
>72/14 = 5.142857142857143 , (5.14x14 days)
>72/7 = 10.28571428571429 , (for weeks)

>10.28571428571429/96.39 (weeks/RRP) = 0.1067093504 , wrong decimal !
>60/10.28571428571429 (cost/weeks) = 5.83(333r)
! is not used for 14 days else (/week) costs more to have them
so
>60/10.28571428571429 (cost/weeks) = 5.83 (333r)
> & 60/5.142857142857143 (cost/2wks) = 11.66 (66666667)
note that... note 1kg aliminium = £0.84 , about 67 empty cans
62.5 empty can, so 1 empty can = 0.0125 £ (or) 0.01253731343 £
>so
>11.66 £ is the amount to save /2wk to profit from this investment from RRP and the money spent
>£1.62 per £0.0125 of scrap (1.62 £ from this spend) is a business expense
and my question is
>why is it (£) 5.83 333r per week
>but then when you double that (THREE) it becomes (£) 1.6666666666666667 , or 7 at the last dec place ???

why does 3 become 7? this is the limpwurt seeds again. where does this 0.0000000001 £ come from?
