'People-person' brain area found http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8055296.stm Scientists say they have located the brain areas that may determine how sociable a person is. Warm, sentimental people tend to have more brain tissue in the outer strip of the brain just above the eyes and in a structure deep in the brain's centre. These are the same zones that allow us to enjoy chocolate and sex, the Cambridge University experts report in the European Journal of Neuroscience. The work suggests that some people may get a similar buzz from being sociable. It could also lead to new insights into psychiatric disorders where difficulties in …

I know it's not canna related. But people with a terminal illness that have wanted to end their suffering have faced similar persecution as us cannabis consumers for as long as i can remember. If your similar to myself and have witnessed a loved ones passing due a terminal illness, you'd know this is just as much as a hot topic as all things canna related. Good to see some common sense working it's way back into the system. Here's hoping the trend continues.. Source: www.news.com.au/couriermail

R.I.P. Rik Clay 1982-2008 My sincere sympathy to his family and friends. In a dramatic ending of a weird story. Rik Clay, a young amazing researcher into conspiracy, symbolism and synchromysticism (his blog was named The Cosmic Mind) apparently took his own life after an adrenal breakdown. (The source is the Icke forum, and his death is confirmed through a facebook group though there is no mention of suicide there, the story seems to be confirmed now - update.) After doing a must-hear Red Ice Creations interview http://www.redicecreations.com/radio/2008/...RICR-080612.php Rik's blog suddenly was deleted and he suffered an adrenal breakdown because of all the atten…

I ususally wouldn't post this on a pot site, however in this case humour is the only method of dealing with the story imho. I've included all follow up reports as well - this is BRILLIANT to read when you're stoned! And you're thinking I'm being insensitive about this, bwaaaahhhh! Have a cone, relax and LAUGH some! It's only when you read the follow-ups that the humour REALLY begins in earnest... Oh yeah, you might wanna know that this is running as TOP NEWS on both fairfax and news sites. Proles...

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0...342-952,00.html I know its not mj related but I couldn't resist. I guess the moral to this is if you're going to break the law do it as far away from a fast food outlet as possible.
