I think coffee is pretty mind rapey in and of itself, what with all the slavery and such throughout its modern history of use (and the obvious human rights violations associated with its cultivation today).
Maybe the next botanical we attempt to wrestle into submission under the almighty banner of man and modernity will be a little easier to grow, a la mushrooms.

If Drumpf gets the seat, you think you could persuade him to de-criminalise and eventually legalise psychedelics? From what I gather you aren't the 6th degree of seperation from him that the rest of us mouth-breathers are.

I whole heartedly agree with that statement. As FDR said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."



Maybe Anne Halonium is really Anne Coulter

Feel the Bern:

Where is the web of the spider on DMT?

From the looks of it I should stop drinking coffee in the morning and drop LSD instead. LMAO! That caffeine web is jacked up.

Who the hell thinks to give a spider drugged flies? Some people have too much time on their hands.

obviously they couldnt get get spiders to toke on GG bongs.

I have always thought that there is an American majority on the nexus but does anyone have an opinion about England deciding to leave the EU?

Great day to buy stocks cheap. But then my online broker crashed due to financial turbulences and I'm fully invested anyways. Can't find the graphics, where they show that the 52% exiteers are mostly retired ppl without any economic background. The plebs has spoken, all hail the plebs. Free Scotland!

Well yeah it's all hit the fan. I just hope there was at least a shred of truth in the leave campaign, because all I see is what has been a very ruthless government that now has more control.

On top of all that I always felt as a species we achieve more when we work together so separatism is some jive-assed sour candy from where I'm sitting.

Ufostralen, good cartoon. I like how the Cornish flag was included, but what about the Northern Irish one? This could pave the way for Irish unity as well as Scottish independence and maybe Welsh too. Doubtful for Cornwall.

Mostly, the issue has been immigration, blown out of proportion by the right wing press. Everyone forgets the benefits we've had being part of the eu, or they weren't even aware of them. In some ways, more independence could be a good thing, but it all depends on who ends up in power. With Corbyn (left wing labour leader) now being slated for supporting the union (amongst other things) and posh Tory Cameron gone, the far right of the Conservatives and UKIP are poised to take over.

Extreme right wing parties across Europe are also jumping on the bandwagon, and with Trump in the US playing the same tune there could be troubled times ahead...

Here's another example of how stupid ppl are (ppl in general, because I think this can happen in another country as well).

Regions with the biggest votes for Leave are also the most economically dependent on the EU

My take on this: ppl should be only allowed to vote for things in which they have stake and government should only have a say in enforcing the human rights.


Some folks should not only leave the EU, but should be held separate in a different country secured by a yuge wall where nobody distracts them. 10% of Germans want an authoritarian leader, and if you look at Poland and Hungary things look even more grim.

On the brighter sight:

Apparently quite a few people voted for the exit (I refuse to say 'Brexit,' it's a stupid word), without actually understanding what the implications were, or what the EU even was.

Now they're frantically Googling it.

This is a level of stupidity that will go down in history, I imagine.

It might also pale in comparison to the outcome of the concurrent US presidential contest...320 million people, and you only get to choose between those two...that's some serious wow right there

And good luck with TTIP. It sounded great...

Afaik, the referendum isn't legally binding and the Pro-EU UK parliament has the last say. With the Scotexit (ehehe... Scoxit?) becoming a possible reality, alot is still vague. Unless the UK parliament decides, nothing is final.

I am British and work for a British university. One of the best in the world that is made up of over 50,000 staff, students and associates from across the globe. It is not really known at the moment what impact leaving the EU will have on our teaching and research, tuition fees etc. We are continuing to work as normal at the moment.

The exit will not happen overnight. It was not the result we wanted but we have to respect the decision. Although not legally binding, it was a democratic vote by the UK electorate.

64 Million people live in the UK and 34 Million people voted in the referendum. There are 30 million unknown opinions out there which could have steered the figures in either direction to varying degrees, it's a known unknown.

There are good and bad arguments on both sides. I am going to be mature enough not to label all leave voters as racists and xenophobes. Unfortunately such people do exist in the UK (as well as every other country in the world) and they will have voted to leave the EU.

The small number of bigots who were part of the winning side are currently shouting the loudest, so it makes their numbers look greater. There have been a handful of despicable racist attacks by some extremely narrow minded people who are foolish enough to believe that most of the British public agree with them. The wind will drop out of their sails soon enough.

I hope we are able to still trade with our current EU partners and have a good relationship with our neighbours. We are still part of Europe and will always be a European country, I love Europe.

I voted to remain in the EU and was shocked when the results came through, but it is what it is so I now must remain positive (no pun intended). I'm hoping the exit will benefit the EU. The Union has gone through turmoil upon turmoil with many of its members reluctant to act on economical reforms. Hopefully a shake up will spawn positive change in the EU and not crack its foundations, but who knows.

The United Kingdom is not closing its doors and shutting out the world, or Europe. I'm hoping trade can flourish and free movement into the UK with our EU trading partners is still allowed.

There are also countries like Australia, Canada and New Zealand. These are large countries that speak the same language, have the same political structure and the same head of state. Why not open our borders further for free movement between commonwealth states and open up new direct trade agreements?

We also have a "special relationship" with the USA. I find it hard to believe our exit from the EU will change this. We are still a member of Nato and the Five Eyes. We have a seat on the UN security council which is permanent. We are a member of G7 and G20. We are still a member of the World Trade Organisation. London, alongside New York and Tokyo is one of the global economic command centres.

For these reasons, I find hope that we are not shutting ourselves off from the world. I hope in the long run we can use this to establish even stronger relationships with our European neighbours and our allies across the globe.

I'm not good on politics, but i think a society revolving around healthcare will include mostly happy humans so yea. Everything else is a distraction

From the poll results we can see why most governments tend to keep psychedelics illegal

I don't see what the big deal about Brexit is, to me it seems like countries and more specifically the governments that "govern" them are becoming obsolete anyway.

At least we seem to be moving in the right direction, right? We used to have, I imagine, rule by the biggest ape. Then I imagine that progressed to something like the ape with the biggest stick. Some how we got to ruler ship by people with "special" or royal blood types, and lots of apes with swords. Now we have some governments that are elected by the people, mind you they are still sending apes with very advanced sticks to other areas.

I imagine a time coming when we grow up and we will be deemed competent enough to govern ourselves and our own bodies. The authority to make decisions like what substances we choose to ingest, or whether or not its safe to drive through that red light rather than siting at an empty intersection like a dolt.

Actually I don't think that kind of self ownership will, or can, ever be granted. Right now I'm of the persuasion that its something one must take or find for themselves.

Could you even imagine a free world? People that like to farm, farming. People that like to research medicine, researching medicine. People that like to design buildings, designing them. People that like to do drugs and make art doing that. And not one of them being distracted or limited by things like paying bills, or doing your taxes. Call me a dreamer, but I smile anytime I think about it.
