I also find synthetic to be a little too strong. You just come up so fast and so hard, where the real deal is more mellow, even if you get high as fuck. Basically, it's not my cup of tea either.

I read this differently, I'm been seeing the word 'gravity' and calculations involving it too damn much. My brain is puree'd.
I can't wait until my week off next week. I am getting obliterated. I'm contemplating trying phenazepam for the first time. I haven't any other opportunity to do it and a 3 day benzo bosh sounds fantastic.
Kava/kratom for the time being, gonna hit the shower and then do some more work on my essay.

That seems to be the popular consensus on the album... which I was really surprised to discover, because it quickly became my favorite of their three releases . I thought it combined the best of psychedelic rock and electronic music all in one package. Just goes to show you -- beauty is in the eye (or ear!) of the beholder.
In any case, there is good news for all Younger Brother fans of old! They're currently working on an electronic remix album of Vaccine, which should be released sometime soonish. Should shift the focus from more traditional vocals and song structure to all sorts of mind-bending electronic madness, if it ends up doing what it says on the tin, that is.
By the way, what did you think of Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland, willow? That was definitely a sound we hadn't heard from Shpongle before (although that can be said of each of their albums).
I've also really been enjoying an album that came out last month by Laszlo called Radial Nerve. Sadly I can't find a preview of my favorite track on the album, but here's a tasty one.

Here is proof that man was meant to eat magic mushrooms. This is what is meant by 'tripping balls':

^ Wow, that's extremely cool. I can see spirals, DNA strands, slithering snakes, octopus arms... all sorts of awesome shapes in that thing.

Never Knows Best, this might be a bit of a late reply, but congratulations 
Do stick with your resolve and things will be great. Although I'm sure it doesn't compare as mine was rather short-lived, I had a bit of a drinking problem earlier this year, to the point that I had to drink to get to sleep. Fortunately I cut myself off for a while, and I can now drink again without any problems, because the thought of being back there just makes me sick, and stops me overdoing it
On an unrelated note, I can't remember exactly where I found this, it may have even been in here, but:

Very interesting talk, with two great minds, I loved it.

Hmm...it seems the period (it lasts a week or so usually) after stop using shit that I have exaggerated emotional reactions to stimuli is in full swing. On the one hand, it can be pretty fun as a normal sort-of-pleasant thing makes me positively giddy, but on the other hand, well you can imagine. After this is generally the 'nothing's working out dammit, must seek chemical solace now' phase, so things haven't even begun to be difficult yet. I'll beat it when I get there. Or not.
That was good, quite enjoyed it. I need to watch some more talks and lectures, I haven't in a while.

ehh never if you wanna quit go for it, if you do i'd be happy for you
me? i dont even want to quit anymore, i've gone legitimately 3 weeks no stims, and i cant do it.
if i can still acquire/buy them then i'm gonna do em, only way to make me quit unless i want to is by making amphetamine disappear completely...
tolerance is a bitch.

Pure speculation from someone with a lot of interest - but little experience in, pharmacology:
Would 2C-D and 2C-E not be considered the "natural" 2C drugs? I mean, ethyl and methyl groups are found everywhere in nature, so in theory, it wouldn't be so far-fetched for some plant or animal to contain 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methyl-phenethylamine, or 2,5-Dimethoxy-4-ethyl-phenethylamine (although I doubt any do) - whereas as far as I'm aware, bromine, iodine and chlorine aren't exactly commonplace in plant alkaloids.
Once again just speculation, maybe someone more knowledgeable could tell me if I'm thinking along the right lines or not? I just got curious while reading that "True nature of 2Cs" topic, and didn't think this was worthy of its own thread, especially when I could be talking utter nonsense

Sorry for the following chest-offing,
I wish I were a dog. All I'd have to do is sleep, cuddle, play, and best of all; I would have died 10 years ago.
How anyone can keep up with 1st year uni workload and still get good grades is beyond me. It must get a whole lot better, there's no one alive who can keep this pace up for 4 years.
I am going back to bed with the aid of phenibut and zopiclone, and when I wake up in a few hours I have an essay to finish up and another physics assignment.
I took enough zopiclone to drop an elephant and it's starting to feel nice. Beware amphetamine LMA, in my recent experience it helps you get work done, but it doesn't help you remember any of it. Followed by the general anxious, tired lethargy. That monoamine's getting cut from the regimen.
I'm starting to find it's really dangerous shit. The ability to remember things I've learned is fucked. I need every neuron I have left up there to not be in jeopardy.
I feel like my brain has scoops taken out of it.
The screen is actually waving in front of me, like my visual cortex isn't processing correctly, and I haven't taken anything psychedelic for a very long time.

1. year is the hardest. No doubt, It'll get better
You will learn what is relevant, and what is not relevant for you to learn.
And so, you can start skipping classes so you can learn what you really do need to learn
Prioritize !
And a little cheating haven't hurt nobody

It pays off to put in some extra effort for the first year. Getting used to the whole system of higher education etc.
Yeah first year is a crock of shit, with all the prerequisites you have to take and all that jazz. Wait until your second or third, you'll be laughing. You'll get into headier concepts and the screen waving will be a benefit and inspiration instead of a distraction. I'm in my fifth year of what was supposed to be a 3-4 year degree, had problems about halfway through, and basically had to start over again. If you can't take it, take a semester off, I never did and the problems dragged on until now I feel like I'm throwing around a boulder with 2-3 years of snowballed psychological issues in it wherever I go. It's bad, but the idea of only having one and a half semesters until I get that sweet, sweet diploma... Oh boy, you can just imagine the satisfaction that will bring.

I believe there may be a fair number of halogenated natural products floating around. A google search for "halogenated natural products" makes me even more sure about this. Especially in marine species. Vancomycin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancomycin) is one fine example.
But now that I read your post again, I am not sure about Plant alkaloids... can't find many examples through a quick google search (I'm too worn out to search further).. There is a compound known as jaconine in some wild flower though which contains a C-Cl bond. I would be careful trying to make this distinction of what are more 'natural' drugs (well mainly in the form of a new thread) as many people will start rolling their eyes.

And yea, Socks... I think the first year and especially that first semester of getting back into school mode (ESPECIALLY university level) is a lot about learning how you need to be thinking. I like to call it a semester for readjustment, at least that's how I rationalized my first semester at a real university in which I did... mediocre.

Got a lot of my stuff moved over today, odd I've now moved three times in the last year, to end up where I was a year ago. Well I have a different bedroom now, the one on the garage, if I needed to vomit no one would hear me in there and ask questions. Fuck yeah. Downside, no more absolute privacy and I can't smoke inside, but my lil' place was a dingy hole in the wall and running out of money to buy food would have made things unpleasant.
@Psox - I did great my first semester of Uni, since I just took a bunch of real awesome social science courses, but second semester with the prereqs and some intensive work load and I completely fucked everything up and left (well I was having an early life crisis at the time as well). Of course I went right out of HS, if/when I get back to the collegiate life, well...I dread the readjustment period.
PS I do love the way GABAergics soften and warm the cold, jagged edges of the world, and lend things with that sort of magical glow. Ha, had my last three beers last night, which were sublimely pleasant after 4x the number of consecutive sober days I had experienced in nearly two months (4 days). That doesn't mean I have to do it everyday, I've been telling myself.
Hope y'all had a pleasant-ish day as well.

I just got back from my sister's place on the other side of town, because I'm now in uni we live in the same city, but it's still a long drive to get there. The urban sprawl is huge. I had a couple beers and feel good.
I re-read that post and it feels like I posted it yesterday. I overslept and when I got up I had to get going to dinner, so anyways I still have to finish up the essay, so it looks like I'll be working through the night.
Thanks for the kinds words. I just wish I could have gotten this garbage done with right out of high school when I was 17. For those who don't know me I already have a 3-year college diploma and worked in a lab for almost 2 years. That aside I wasn't where I wanted to be so now I'm back in school but at the uni level. I have some transfer credits from college that take care of the bio/chem stuff but I still have to take a lot of 1st year "weed-out" courses. Being 23, almost 24, with the life experience I've had this is grudgingly mundane bullshit. I have the capacity and fundamental knowledge for higher/conceptual thought, much more so than my 'right out of high school' classmates, but that doesn't matter, still need the paper. I think 1st year BS is easier when you're right out of high school because you haven't had as much life-time to think about stuff, and so everything is new and interesting; hence doesn't feel like BS.
Next semester is going to be much better. My only 1st year course is calculus II (in calc I now), all the others are 2nd/3rd year bio/chem. With my transfer credits from college, it's all a mess. I'm going to be in courses spanning 3 years. I have a feeling the 2nd/3rd year courses are going to be far more interesting and useful.
The best course so far is pscyh. What a joke. One of the questions on the test was labeling the 4 main parts of the cerebral cortex, among others of similar simplicity, yeah, that course is a GPA booster.
Well I better get to work. Week off on the horizon. Starting 9pm on Friday night I may lose consciousness for a couple days due to drug consumption
