Kali Mist Old school weed at it's finest

Good post...I would say for me, your descrip of the Kali Mist high is spot on. That's almost exactly what I experience when smoking the mist

They are spendy....I kown... you pay for what you get. Have you ever tried Jillbean by Tga and if so how does kali compare? would you compare it to the Kali Mist?

I've never had the pleasure of trying Jillybean. After reading your question, I googled it up and it definitely sounds interesting, but I would only be guessing at an answer. Maybe someone reading this will have first hand experience and post it here.

bravo mate what a great description! you definitely have me interested...weed just doesnt seem as fun as it used to be. You have inspired me to pick some of these up! cheers =]

If you’re not stunned by the sheer magnificence of life on this planet and the literal possibility of there being billions of civilizations out there, any of which could be, at that very moment, looking right back at you, wondering if you’re out there too? Well then, I’ll bet not too much impresses you, Charlie.

Don't mean to thread crap (and I loved you're write up, btw, I thought it was very endearing), buuuut what if we were the most intelligent species in the Universe, and Earth happened to be Its only egg in the entire basket? Metaphorically and hypothetically speaking: We are the only person in the room...

I agree with the thought. Someone has to be the first one to the party. Maybe that's us? That aside, when you consider the fact that here on Earth life is found thriving in nearly every nook and cranny of the planet from the hottest to the coldest places, under the most extreme conditions and has for most of the billions of years since our planet cooled off enough to support life as we know it, it's hard for me to imagine that we are the only ark in the Universe. We haven't found true Earth like planets just yet, but astronomers expect to this coming year. If they do, I will feel better about having the opinions that I do.


As far as being the first goes, for me, my mind just wont let me completely accept that as a serious possibility because when I consider the age of the Universe, our planet is a relative toddler in comparison. Who knows though, this place could be the first to reach that "Glodielocks" sweet spot where life likes to live. Of course, I also have to factor in that I just plain like the idea of there being lots of life in the Universe, so that makes it much easier for me to see the facts from my own point of view. Hell, who knows E.T. might pull in our planetary drive way someday and set the record straight for us. I must admit though, if it turned out we were the first and E.T. managed to figure out interstellar travel before us, that would make us kind of a dud as far as evolution goes. Lol.

Good post! I really like these kinds of conversations.

This is what I was going to say,

My father told me when I was very young that he wanted to see intelligent life forms end up being something completely unexpected. He said he wanted to see a talking rock, or something completely random like that. This always stuck with me for some reason. Why does all "Life" have to be like us? And I don't mean, "Okay, so aliens aren't bipedal hominids. Actually, they have six 'arms' and slide around on a mucus-like gel that their over sized, amoeba-esque bodies secrete." That's not even close to what I'm saying.

You remember the beginning of It's A Wonderful Life? What if galaxies actually were communicating with one another (and you) to some degree? The center of the Milky Way galaxy is a super massive black hole. Most people think nothing can escape a black hole once it reaches the event horizon, but we've actually witnessed (at least we think we have) the center of our galaxy spit stuff out! I don't expect to crack any sort of universal code in this thread, the mere implication that something can escape a black hole opens a slew of other what if's and wtf's, imo, which I can't even begin to pretend to understand. However, black holes have mass, right? How massive are they? How much "energy" comprises one of those (E=mc^2)? So... you're telling me that that's just a lump of energy with no order? No flow, no cycle, no metabolism? No consciousness, no agenda? I mean, after all, our solar system is just one of many that circles this black hole. Wouldn't you say that thing is pretty important?

When people start talking intelligent life I usually end up thinking about the universal fabric, information coded into the most basic form of that fabric, either the Fibonacci sequence, or Golden Ratio, and Time.

But then I realized I was playing a game that I wasn't intending to when I first posted. It might be hard to follow me. It's not a destination that I have drawn in my mind, it's just a mixture of paint that creates a certain color.

It takes time for light to travel. The further a photon travels and the longer it takes for you to observe said photon the further you're actually looking into the past. The Sun you see is actually the Sun from 8 minutes ago. So, given you could see far enough, could you see the beginning?

What if the Universe isn't so much a "party," but rather a game of Jacks where you don't pick up jacks, but solve a Rubics cube? What if it was a suicide mystery where we had to figure out how to put the Universe back the way it was at the Big Bang so Time could start all over again (killing ourselves for the meantime, but perhaps not permanently)? Maybe it's an Escape The Room genre video game so any intelligent species is long gone and working on the next level. Maybe It's all of the above...

Good video. I'm always interested in explanations that attempt to put things into perspective using scale. It helps me get my mind around the subject better.

Looking past the singularity or "big bang" is, from my understanding of physics, the ultimate goal of the folks who are doing their best to answer the question of "where the hell are we?" If a theory can still stand up before the big bang, then they figure they might be onto something. Past the big bang, things get too abstract for my limited understanding to really be able to appreciate what they are contemplating, but I keep trying to stay with it. One thing I can plainly see is that no matter how broad the view one takes of the universe (+ or - powers of 10) EVERYTHING is built like a fine Swiss watch. All the gears and springs of everything we know, is connected to everthing else when you get down to the basics.

Math is boring to me, but I'm always amazed to think about how, through math we can explain and prove things that we would otherwise have no ability to conceptualize. Things you can't actually observe with the eye can be seen with math. Looking, mathematically at whatever "this" is, puts me in the mindset of the movie The Matrix. When Neo faces the Agents in the hallway of that old building and realizes that he can see behind the curtain of the matrix. Everything is coded. I don't claim to have a firm two fisted grip on the concept, but that appears to be the design of what we call the Universe. The idea just blows me away.

I don't know if you are a TV fan or not, but on the History channel there is a program called Through the worm hole, Morgan Freeman is the narrator. They use some of the best minds to explain topics like these, in terms a layman can find it easier to get his(or her) head around. It's a well done program you should check out if you haven't seen it before.

Speaking to your It's a wonderful life reference, I have thoughts concerning classifying life in human terms. The best way I can put it into words is to look at any city. A city takes in energy. It expells waste. It grows or declines. It has intelligence. It has survival instincts. It contains arteries and a nervous system. Does that not describe life? It's not what we usually think of when we think of life, but seems to be alive none the less.

I've seen a few episodes of Through The Wormhole. A lot of that stuff is very interesting, you've just got to get past all the stuff you've already seen and heard from past episodes because they repeat a lot I feel. Prophets of Science Fiction on the ScfiFi channel is a good one, too.

Speaking to your human city reference, that city answers to a state, which answers to a federal government, which looks out for the individual "cells" (you and I) perhaps through its own self-interest. Some cells are lethargic and/or apathetic and that state of mind can spread from one cell to another. That city, that state, and that country all have immune systems which attempt to mitigate conflict within the system, and sometimes even outside of the system. You could go so far as to say even a corporate chain acts similarly. I'd even take it one step further in that the plants you're growing have most of those traits except a localized nervous system. I mean THC production has little to no evolutionary function for the plant itself apart from making mammals like it a whole lot. I guess it depends where you draw the line for "intelligence," and what constitutes as a living organism. There are many parallels.

Intelligent or not, a happy mj plant makes me smile.

I heard that, my friend!
