My first time was 1969. I grew some in 1976 and smoked until the mid 80s. I started smoking again in 2013 on a trip to New Mexico and Arizona camping with my 2 best friends. Smoked more regularly once it was legal recreationally here. Grew 4 plants in 2020 and clones from them in 2021. I like the vaping oil since AZ told me how it works.
Being old school (doctors write too much down, medical cards put you on a list, etc-- I never told my GP about cannabis and I mentioned it briefly with my new one after the old guy retired. I told the new guy I didn't want it anywhere in my record and he honored my request. Insurance companies are looking for any contrived reason not pay out.
I had none of the gear. An extraction column, vacuum pump and chamber set me back about $350. Butane and ethanol costs are trivial. Well, I have a vacuum pump and a chamber I made from an old pressure cooker many years ago to use as a vacuum desiccation chamber for preserving dragonfly colors (freeze drying experiments). Immersion in acetone for 12-24 hours turns out to preserve colors better. I also have a really nice glass distillation apparatus that I need to figure out a cool function for...Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

And, Tany, your bug populations are crashing the world over. I knew about the north american crash of bugs and birds but hadn't seen the global stuff. This is bad. Yep, pesticides, pollution, habitat loss, invasive species and finally climate change, and 8 billion humans alive at the same time have doomed the most successful organisms in the history of life, and us too.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

I just read about a guy who discovered unauthorized copies of his webpages about extreme macro photography were being posted in mainland China, so he added a Taiwanese flag to the last line of his pages. There is something satisfying imagining the cyber thief receiving poetic justice.

I have rolled fewer joints than I can count on two hands and one shoe off. Friends did the honors. Joints always seemed wasteful to me. I tried lots of different glass and brass pipes though.
I load them one sativa one indica. OK, is indica for sleep or do you alternate to capitalize on the characters of each?
No vacuum pumps, chambers, solvents, glassware, gas chromatographs or any other type of advanced lab equipment. I’m thinking you guys are having more fun with this than I am. The closer you can make it resemble a mad scientist's lab the more fun it is!
And, Tany, your bug populations are crashing the world over. I knew about the north american crash of bugs and birds but hadn't seen the global stuff. This is bad. Yes it is and it's happening so swiftly that we are having problems getting any kind of accurate baselines to compare population densities with. Museum collections, while a wonderful resource, don't really give us a feeling for population densities. One of the consequences of climate change that has only recently started to be appreciated is that insects and their host plants are getting out of synchronization and we're seeing the same thing happen with birds nesting times and insects life stages getting out of synch. A nuclear war or a runaway greenhouse could possibly wipe out the insects, but I can't imagine our extinction would have an impact beyond the decline in vast landscapes of a few dozen crop plants.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

A nice article describing Webb's instruments and what sorts of targets each will look at, written by Jonathan Gardner, Webb deputy senior project scientist, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
Seventeen Modes to Discovery: Webb Space Telescope’s Final Commissioning Activities There are 17 different instruments modes. This observatory is going to do a shitload more than just take pretty pictures!!!
quote There is also an amazing diagram showing the light paths to the various instruments.

42 years ago, I remember that day vividly. I was at a nearby creek marking specimens of the dragonfly species Epitheca canis for a male territoriality study. I heard or felt thudding, like distant thunder, but had no idea what had happened. We are about 80 airmiles from the mountain. When I got home later in the afternoon my wife was glued to the TV and they were showing recorded videos and live feeds. It was amazing to see helicopter images of a pickup covered in ash with dead bodies in the bed. The stories and photography were amazing. People in Spokane had a couple feet of ash on the ground and no sign when it would stop. They were lucky it was a small eruption. There are places in central Oregon where the pumice deposits from Mt. Mazama are more than 100 feet thick.

I just watched the newest episode of PBS's Nova about JWST. It's worth a watch and the first images are quite spectacular.
Spectroscopy will provide the most important data, but I think the images are going to blow our socks off just like the Hubble images have.
