Hi everyone. Since the Forum is in Summer mode and a bit on the quieter side I thought it might be fun to introduce what I think is a subject not mentioned before. Sasquatch vs. cannabis. We know there are fields of the herb hidden in many places and no doubt hidden right in the middle of Sasquatch habitat. As a forager would the creature nibble on the plant and find out that it's ahem, a little more than just a plant? Would the consumption alter the creature's normal demeanor and if so in what way. Turn it into a hysterically laughing animal or perhaps a more passive one? Would a witness who was growing the crop NOT report a sighting of Sasquatch harvesting the goods to anyone? I Sasquatch sees Humans cutting and piling the herb would it do a copycat maneuver and then find out why all the fuss? As an added on idea might a habituation scenario operate on supplying the plant to the creature for it's consumption and what would that mean to the Sasquatch/Human relationship on a psychological level- especially if the animal experienced the effects that Humans do? Would it even make the connection between consumption and effect? If this has been discussed before then maybe posting a link would help get the ball rolling.

If my cats are any indication of an animal knowing what will give them a buzz, then I am sure a Sasquatch over all the millennia would have discovered the medicinal properties of many plants, other animals seem to do so, so why wouldn't the most intelligent specie yet in the wild not do so. By my experience you do not have to heat cannabis to get the effect, it just takes longer to find the bloodstream through the stomach, and I can testify that oral consumption is a viable method, of course that was many years ago as I grew up in the 70s when the stuff was much less concentrated. Natural cannabis, or hemp, is not nearly as capable of producing the THC, it is the cultivars and hybrids of the plant that today are so potent. They don't call um skunk apes for nothin.....

Absolutely right, plussed. Anyway, about the EP, I think it's just transformed. Perhaps Erickson dropped it out of frustration, but research in that location appears to have been ongoing. I linked this great site in another forum, this post explains a bit. http://www.sybillairwin.com/blog/its-time-to-share-some-of-the-happenings-from-my-neck-of-the-woods There is no inherent problem with HD video or images. I also believe there's tons of them gathering dust. One thing to remember is that most people don't care and/or actively don't want to know.

Extrapolating a little .. "Dr J" has put a bullseye on himself. That someone disbelieves is not the issue. It is how the disbelief is expressed if it is expressed. I suggest ridiculing others is often a cover for the insecurities of the person doing the ridiculing as much as an expression of their feeling about what they're ridiculing. There are courteous, professional ways to express disagreement, rudeness is not one of them, especially directed at the host of the event. If you don't want to hear what "Dr J" says, don't accept the invitation to speak at the event he's hosting. If you can't politely express disbelief in whatever Thom Cantrall is "selling", don't accept an invitation to speak at his event. This should be simple ... and it is 'til insecurity gets in the way of manners. MIB

Yeah, well, 99 out of a hundred scientists swore amorphous semiconductors were physically impossible just a few years ago. In 1999, a fossil was smuggled out of China allegedly showing a small dinosaur with feathers, displayed in triumph at the National Geographic Society, and an article was written up in their magazine - paleontologists were abuzz, and it became common knowledge - but unfortunately, the scientists were all wrong - as a Chinese farmer rigged up some chicken bones and a meat-eater's tail. Albert Einstein included in his Relativity calculations the cosmological constant, that later scientists all declared was in error due to a newly discovered expanding universe, and even before he died, Einstein removed the calculation, calling it his greatest blunder. THEN, we find out the universe is not only expanding, but is accelerating that expansion, and NOW these same scientists have had to turn to Einstein's cosmological constant to explain things. They were all wrong. Marc Houser at Harvard falsified his data, manipulated results, and incorrectly described his methods in the cognition of primates, all accepted research by scientists, and resigned after a three year investigation of is lab, negating these well-known works that blended evolutionary biology and cognitive primate psychology. The scientists were again, wrong. So many previously accepted theories proven wrong. So many species that weren't even species - and didn't exist. Piltdown Man. So excuse me when I pass on 99 out of 100 scientists suggesting a lack of bones is evidence of the non-existence of Bigfoot. Time and again, they're shown to be relatively easy to fool, and don't seem to actually check the facts. Today, we discover that Antarctica - supposedly warming due to climate change - has actually been cooling for decades. I'll tell you where the joke is - those who think a lack of a particular type of evidence is proof of non-existence. We don't have a piece of Neptune - but based entirely on observations - it's looking really good for it's actual existence.
