[QUOTE=-Kaider-;37044460]Except there's actual research backing acupuncture[/QUOTE] Except there's not really. [quote]We found a small analgesic effect of acupuncture that seems to lack clinical relevance and cannot be clearly distinguished from bias. [B]Whether needling at acupuncture points, or at any site, reduces pain independently of the psychological impact of the treatment ritual is unclear.[/B][/quote] [url]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2769056/[/url] [quote]No major differences in outcome between real and placebo needling could be found.

I bought a bong last night from a friend of mine. Its a little smaller than my other, about a foot and a half. I am a proud owner of a brand new used bong.

[QUOTE=Lebowski;37044663]I bought a new bubbler that's nice and tall with a 7 arm diffuse in it hits like a beast[/QUOTE] Luke Wilson bubbler?

[QUOTE=its shortie;37044982]Luke Wilson bubbler?[/QUOTE] I wasn't aware that was the name, but a quick google search suggests that yes that is the type of bubbler I have. -wrong thread for the image apparently-

School money, please arrive soon. I'd love so much to abuse you.

[QUOTE=Lebowski;37044517]Except there's not really.[/quote] Oh look on that same site [quote]Researchers involved in the German trials concluded that acupuncture is effective for treating chronic pain[/quote] [quote] In women's health, acupuncture has been found to be beneficial for patients with premenstrual syndrome, dysmenorrhea, several pregnancy-related conditions, and nausea in females who have cancers[/quote] [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18803496[/URL] You can find sources to say whatever you want, I have firsthand experience.

[QUOTE=-Kaider-;37045328]Oh look on that same site [URL]http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18803496[/URL] You can find sources to say whatever you want, I have firsthand experience.[/QUOTE] Except none of those other studies take in to account the placebo effect AND that particular study was done by the Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR) so obviously it would be in there best interest to not tell everyone their own 'science' is phony. [quote]but the correct selection of acupuncture points seems to play a [B]limited role[/B]; [B]no conclusions could be drawn about the placebo aspect of acupuncture, due to the design of the studies.[/B][/quote] Albeit one could also argue that since they were not able to draw any conclusions on the placebo affect that it does not come in as a variable but you would need studies to back this idea up and the studies suggest otherwise. Same article goes on to mention [quote] however, for acute or treatment-related symptoms, integration of acupuncture care into a busy and complex clinical environment is [B]unlikely, unless compelling evidence of a considerable patient benefit can be established.[/B][/quote] Yeah, you can find any study to say what you want but rarely do you get someone posting a source that goes well-enough against the point they were trying to make; I mean even the SAR people here are admitting they don't have 'compelling evidence of considerable patient benefit'. Edit: That wasn't a study either; it was just an article. I mean who do you expect me to listen to; Matias Vested Madsen, physician; or -Kaider-, guy who got needles in his back?

Bump. Whats up.

just smoked a nice fat spliff, I am sufficiently stoned

Bump

[QUOTE=soupman345-2;37044844]And i wish I could get datura[/QUOTE] what the fuck do you know about datura? you just started smoking weed.

[QUOTE=Lebowski;37045128]I wasn't aware that was the name, but a quick google search suggests that yes that is the type of bubbler I have.[/QUOTE] Post a pic in the pieces thread bro

another great night of smoking with my friends. Super Smash Bros. N64, cartoons, ping pong and overall joking around and shit. man i love laughing.

smoking like half a bowl out of my glass piece with hemp wick, haven't smoked out of this in forever, feels so nostalgic

dug up my old NES, SNES, and N64, now im looking for games online to play with my friends high. I cant wait for Goof Troop to arrive. Hilarity will ensue.

As the days, and the weeks, and the months fly by, take some time to really appreciate the ones you love, before they die.

I drank a glass and a half of straight jack, half a cider, and a glass of mixed 2 shots Kravken and the rest of the cup Pepsi. I'm pretty drunk. I also founc out that jack daniesl is really flamiabe. [editline]2nd August 2012[/editline] Flammable [editline]2nd August 2012[/editline] Perhaps one day my ability to tie a noose will come in use... [editline]2nd August 2012[/editline] I still have to hear the anger and bitching from my father tomorrow for enjoying something. I should have learned to not do that by now. Hell, if I have a friend over at my house for an hour I am forever harassed and insulted. Now I've had about 6 people for a few hours. I wish I could just forever be asleep. Too bad I have a problem falling asleep...

don't drink your problems away bro and don't use the noose

today i'm going to see my girlfriend for the first time in like ten fucking days.
