It comes down to the Dog koan. Of what use is it if you your Self are not enlightened?
And ya know... we have forgiving face and unforgiving face. I don't know about this wacky hall of mirrors sometimes.
But I know one thing.
I believe in the Forgiving God. Who will slap you seven ways till next sunday just so That can keep you alive, to reach the true Paradise you asked That for.
It's just that on the way, we literally forget this sometimes and tell the God to come at us, bro. And so it does. It's all about soaring high but if your wings are made of wax then Icarus better know how to swim, or man shall drown, ja feel?
You know what... I wrote earlier about tobacco.
Well, water is the essence of all life.
So from here on now, I pledge, not even to "quit smoking". Let's be very 100% specific about our goals because truly, we ourselves sabotage our own goals. Satan is just another word for adversary and we are our own adversary when our desires are not fully aligned with our intentions.
So I ask all the other smokers here, if you desire to live... They say that the longer you can hold off a cigarette after waking up, the longer your life expectancy.
Well... what about others' life expectancy in that case? 
So we see that we must forgive ourselves to forgive others.
Simple pledge. From here onwards, I pledge to do my best every morning to drink a nice tall glass of water first thing in the morning, every day. Then if I feel to smoke a cigarette, then fair play. Let water run through the arid dryness of the fire of my inspiration. I burn, I burn for You.

In it lies complete fulfillment. It will never become something it is not, but it will never need to be anything else." - Wiccan_Seeker "If boring drudgery was the way of the universe, everything would have killed itself long ago." - Spacerific

it comes in pouches like dip or can buy it loose like loose dip. Either way it is a lot "cleaner" than dip. Obviously not 100% healthy but I dont understnad it to be that bad for your body at all. Prolly the healthiest form of tobacco intake. It is also pretty distreect. Yoiu dont have to spit like dip. And your gums dont ache. I went from dip to snus and eventually quit altogether. Alot of people use it to quit stoges as well

sorry just saw this. I guess you could say that. Normal american chew is fire cured leaving it ridden with carcinogens. Snus is water cured
like refined oral tobacco. Feels classy almost. and pretty cheap considering the nicotine punch it packs

Thumbs up for turmeric. I suggest you buy the root and grind just as much as you need. It's incomparably more aromatic that way and goes amazing with zucchini, eggplant, chayote, squash.

I just thought I would throw in some beneficial herbs and whatnot.
Ajwain Herb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trachyspermum_ammi
I was having stomach ache that was killing me. I didnt know what exactly I ate. But I thought I was having an ulcer or something. My mom reccomended I pickup some of these seeds and I made a tea with it.Within 2 hours of making the tea, I felt that my entire digestive system was cleansed. My mom has a horrible digestive system which is way out of whack. Apparently this tea everyday is what lets her function as if normal. Obviously she still can't really stomach processed foods, but this tea has helped her immensely. She works long hours in the office and semi has problems with it anymore. One pot of tea infused with it in the morning and one at night works wonders
Also, ginseng has been causing some problems with my sleep. So i stopped taking it. As with piracetam and caffiene
My mom also suggeseted brahmi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacopa_monnieri
It has been doing wonders for me in school. I feel that it helps me sleep better too. I will post the link if I can find it. But if you take it everyday(so this reference says) you will have marked improvements in cognitive functions

Curiosity; has anyone on this thread had experience with reishi mushrooms? I have heard postive things but the only thing I have found is that it helps with chemotherapy. Any help would be appreciated
thanks

I thought I read somewhere or maybe it was just one anecdote but does it inhibit dreaming? That's like the one major turn off from it, otherwise I'm gonna start taking it all the time. I feel it is useful for people without cancer, but it seems to be much more useful if you do have cancer. Moonshoe did you check out that link? That website has a TON of information about supplements and stuff I feel like it's the erowid of supplements or something haha, hell even more detailed.
