less theory, more examples, my personal opinion on the author is mixed but it's a good text for people new to "wait, anarchy isn't British empire propaganda about anarchy?" https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/peter-gelderloos-anarchy-works

Without litigating terminology it is true that there are not like single receptor effects, or that there is a potentially fatal rebound. However it does mess with homeostasis in ways that can make it difficult to stop. Sudden cessation can cause difficult sleeping, anxiety, nightmares, appetite suppression, restlessness, and low mood. It's relatively easy to deal with compared to stuff that messes with gaba, opiod receptors, or dopamine but it's still much harder than changing what you eat or whatever.

Legalization has been associated with increased adult hospital attendances for psychiatric distress and vomiting, unintentional ingestion of edible cannabis products by children and hospitalizations for cannabis use disorders in adults. There is conflicting evidence on whether cannabis‐impaired driving has increased since legalization. There is suggestive evidence that presentations to emergency departments with psychoses and cannabis use disorders may have increased since legalization.
Evidence of slight increases in psychosis, consistent with hypothesis that cannabis can trigger episodes in people with pre-existing conditions. Evidence that taking too much is uncomfortable.

finds that strong cannabis might make mental health worse.
Realistically inhaling it is the most harmful thing if you're not prone to bad brain.
People have used it for a long time without serious harm but the higher dose modern strains are increasingly associated with stuff like hyperemises syndrome. So uh as with all things enjoy in moderation, we are all but food for worms, it's probably safer than driving a car or whatever.
Anything veganism (positive)
Or you opened pycharm (ಥ﹏ಥ) 5 gigs of RAM is fairly audacious for a single program :/
Across all of Europe and all of the middle ages? Sure probably. Never hear of them, see them in art? I dunno, it's hard to say because we don't have a lot of documentation on what normal people's lives were like.
In the cosmopolitan cities like Prague you probably would. Also any major Mediterranean trade port. Anyone who went on pilgrimage to those places, or along them, probably would. Cutting off Jerusalem to pilgrimage being such a big political deal indicates that many people went there or wanted to, and people loved sharing stories of places.
It's called speciesism and it's how people justify eating cows.
Dude: ports exist, people trade, across the Mediterranean you can find lots of different skin colours and customs.
Nobility and their favoured travelled extensively, skilled tradespeople would undertake elaborate pilgramidge if they could afford it all the way to Jerusalem. Even serfs got to go on pilgrimage although usually not to Jerusalem but to other cathedrals.
Stop with this ahistorical nonsense. Maybe someone in the British isles might not have much contact of the greater world but the HRE? Spain? Italy? The eastern Roman empire? Of fucking course they did.
This is a pretty flawed understanding of history.
Humans have always travelled, in Europe even serfs would hope to go on pilgrimage and Lords generally had to allow it. Although it may only be to a nearby cathedral. Italy was a trade hub, and a relatively short trip by boat to north Africa.
European painters knew that people came in different shades. As proof, go look at the school of Athens painting.
Just follow the smell of laughing gas and bring a zodiac and some concrete.
Here is how ethics works:
- if I push a boulder on you I'm a murderer
- if I push a boulder that squashes you but on the way down the hill it grinds some flour your death is an externality and I am industrious.
Since we are in the latter case, it is not self defense. Too bad, so sad.
It's kinda the foundational mutual aid text, but like you could read modern stuff if you want fresh ideas vs to learn the history of a movement.
Also lmao, you are also a little surprised at who's asking. We can only hope :)
