Community forum 'Kronic Hysteria' - Melbourne, April 16

[Tronica]

Hello Australian BLers

There is a free community forum next Monday at the Fitzroy Town Hall (Melbourne) that I think some of you may be interested in, called: 'Kronic Hysteria: emerging drugs, the internet and the consequences of legislative controls'.

I'm presenting results from the Kronic survey advertised here at Bluelight a few months back.

More info on times/location and RSVP can be found here.

Sounds good, would definitely go if I could. You and Stephen Bright were both very engaging at EGA

I encourage anyone in Melbourne to check it out!

^ likewise wish i could attend.
tronica, are there any other ways we can read or hear about the findings you are presenting?

 

[DeathDomokun]

Yeah, I'd love to go but I'm not in Victoria
Is this about Research Chemicals in general or focusing on synthetic Cannabinoids?

The relevant thread is here - the results should be posted/linked there in due course.

Tronica's study and presentation relate to synthetic cannabinoids, however Stephen Bright's talk is entitled "Not for Human Consumption: Plant Food, Bath Salts, Room Deodorisers, and Everything In-between", which I imagine will cover RCs in more general terms.

^ Muchas gracias señor

 

[Tronica]

Thanks Divine Moments - I think you've answered all the relevant questions. He's right - my presentation is all about synthetic cannabis whereas Steve's covers a wider range of issues regarding so-called legal highs.

I believe both of our slides will be available from the YDHF website after the seminar. Although I may also do a video recording of my presentation, as I tend not to give all the information on the slides, so my slides aren't as informative as a video! I upload all my video recordings to http://vimeo.com/tronica

^ Thanks for the vimeo link, wish I could be down there to check it out.

I might try to head on in, not sure if I'll have time though, got exams coming up so I don't have alot of spare time.

 

[Divine Moments]

^ Let us know how it went last month if you make it!

 

[Tronica]

Thanks for reposting the videos here DM, you are onto it

@thestudent14 unfortunately you've missed it but youtube provides you with most of the it ... just without the forum afterwards and the free afternoon tea!

Very good videos, thanks for posting. You're a great public speaker Tronica, and you're doing some great work too

 

[Tronica]

thanks opi8

I feel privileged to have this job where I get to research things that are interesting!

 

[thestudent14]

I'm such a spud, way to get my months mixed up =(

Ohwell next time I suppose. I'll take a look at the videos though

 

[thestudent14]

Just watched the videos, awesome stuff. Keep up the good work.

I tried the synthetic cannabis's a few times, definitely got nothing on the real thing. Much more unsettling to smoke, much more anti-social and feelings resembling a low dose mushie trip.
