But that's where it ended up, jaja.

The Tussi is not like any other drug on the market and represents a new wave of drugs that will soon be marketed by Big Pharma to "optimize and enhance" your life even if there is nothing really "wrong" with you to begin with.

Tussi (2 CB) has been around for decades (if I remember the inventor of MDMA made it to deal with the comedowns), but as you rightly say its 'new to the market' as previously it was only psychedelic nerds that did it. Although from what I remember reading (this could be wrong) Colombian 2 CB has no 2 CB in it and is mostly ket + other stuff like molly. Real 2 CB is pretty fun, non addictive and has no comedown.

How late do the buses run? And would there be taxis at the mall there at say 9 pm or later?

I believe the buses run from the airport into the wee hours of the morning. The name of the bus company is Combuses S.A. The buses are white with green lettering and stripes on the sides. Word AEROPUERTO will be across the top of the windshield. I arrived in December late at night (little after 11 pm when I got out of the airport), and the buses were still running. Information on the Internet says they run from the airport 24 hours a day, but I wouldn't depend on that. The fare is 13,000 COP.

When you are dropped off near the San Diego mall, there will be a group of young ladies there to help you with your luggage and hail a taxi for you. You have to walk across a little traffic island to the street where the taxi will pick you up. Normally, I arrive at San Diego between 6 and 6:30 pm. Most of the time there aren't any, or only two or three, taxis waiting. No worries, the ladies will get a taxi for you. It is safe where you are dropped off.

If your destination is Poblado or Laureles, get off at San Diego. Most of the people on the bus will get off there, so just follow the crowd.

I believe the last bus leaves the airport at 10 or 11 pm. There should be taxis waiting. If not, there is a casino just around the corner where you should be able to get a taxi.

The bus stop is on Avenida Las Palmas just before it ends at Avenida Poblado. You can cut through the corner of the mall to get to Avenida Poblado. Depending on how much luggage you have and where you're staying you can cross Avenida Poblado and catch a southbound bus and get off at Parque Poblado. Cost is about 2500 COP.

Guys,

If you don't want to use a taxi to get from the airport to Medellin city centre, then there are great little buses that run every 15 minutes.

- Come out of the airport and there will be taxi touts offering you their services. Just say "No gracias" and continue walking to the front of the taxi queue and you will see at least a couple of small buses waiting.

- There will be a guy working for the bus company and just ask him if the bus goes to Medellin ("centro de Medellin?" or "San Diego centro commercial?

- Give him your luggage and he will give you a green slip as receipt and store your suitcase in the boot. Take your valuables with you in the bus.

- Just take a seat. You pay the fare (13 K) when you leave the bus. Have cash ready, doesn't need to be the exact amount as the driver has change.

- The journey is about 30 minutes and the buses are very comfortable and modern..

Where did you get your information from? About 50 years ago there was a drug called MDA that was basically the original Tussi or Molly type drug. It has never become legal. So, Tussi is not really New Wave and your prediction that it will become legal is baseless unless you have some sort of proof like you require from others.

MDMA is the generic chemical name for Ecstasy. That was not the original Tussy drug. The original Tussy drug is nowhere to be found and come out of a scientific paper published in the early 1900's, I am not going to look it up but I have seen it. What the sell now is the cartel's attempt to reproduce the original.

The only thing I can recall predicting would become legal is "enhancement" drugs that will be used to optimize mental status and not treat preexisting disease.

And I was not aware of requiring proof. Most of the things we do or believe can never be proved. Einstein said it best, "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts".

Now, I will return to the reason we are all here, to fuck the beautiful girl who just walked thru my open door. Ostee Out.

- You will be dropped off at the San Diego shopping mall.

- From here, there is a queue of yellow cabs waiting, and just jump into one and head to wherever your hotel is. I went to a hotel 2 miles away at calle 61 and the fare was just 9 K in the taxi.

The driver was a nice old man who actually waited for me till I got inside the hotel (it is not the best area) to make sure I was safe.

It was all pretty painless actually. I don't feel safe using airport taxis, especially in countries like this one, and I would recommend the bus option.

First of all, not all drugs are the same. Heroin is not penicillin. Oxygen is a drug. Water will kill you if you drink too much from hyponatremia, among other electrolyte imbalances. Room air, or the air you normally breathe is only 21% oxygen. Most of what you respire is nitrogen. 100% oxygen is toxic due to the damage done by the caustic and abrasive singlet oxygen free radicals.

BTW, this is all off the top of my head, maybe you can find errors if you are so inclined, jeje.

We are at a tipping point in the history of pharmaceutical drugs right now. Elon Musk sees it when he toys with his detractors about his marijuana use. The pharmaceutical companies are poised. Cannabis clinics flourish and now there are IV ketamine clinics.

Heroin is not alcohol, cigarettes are not cannabis, crack is not methamphetamine.

Yet again, I am presenting from a viewpoint of education, background, personal and professional experience. But I don't like to talk about intelligence or credentials unless it's a professional setting (someone's getting paid for their advice) because I believe concepts should stand on their own.

Intelligence is the most overrated human characteristic of all time..

Dear Moderator,

May I respectfully and humbly request the attempts at Spanish lessons be moved to its own thread or combined with the stupid shit thread? It's off topic and, incidentally, of inconsistent accuracy. Please and thank you.

Curious to know whether one can use talvez instead of quizas.

[Osteoknot]

Yes. Those two words are synonyms.

You ain't kidding when you said you studied the language. Strong work.

What did you do with your spare time, jeje?

There is a huge difference between addiction and dependence and recreational use. I go pretty soft on the people who lump all recreational drugs as "bad and evil" because usually they have intense negative personal experiences with family members. Daddy hit mommy after drinking. Sister stole from everyone to support her habit. Little Johnny had to watch his mom turn tricks to get money for dope. You get the idea. That is some pretty heavy duty environmental influence leading to bias.

Speaking of bias, guess what the greatest bias and prejudice of all time is?

Reality bias. Reality is for people who can't handle their drugs, jajajajjaaja.

Ostee Out, more to come.

The current stats are nothing than more markers for a dwindling disease, at best. Some regions and countries are getting it right by claiming the epidemic is over and ignoring the data. Future state depends mainly on the appearance of any new variants, but those who are unvaccinated will be playing catch up and may encounter legal problems from trying to needlessly beat the system. Every new vaccine has a predictable percentage of anti-vaxers, and their arguments are just as predictable, uninformed, and pedestrian, every time.

This was the Purrfekt Storm and the worst managed vaccine program in history partly because of some novel behaviors in the virus, but mainly because this was the first worldwide epidemic since the invention of the Internet. Information overload, unprepared, Classic GIGO, Garbage In, Garbage Out, for results.

If a different virus appear on the horizon, with a significantly higher attack and mortality rate, and we don't use lessons learned from this giant Klusterfuk, it will be the end of mankind. Add it to the list for the Doomsayers worried about Super Volcano, Deep Space Gamma Ray burst, Comet Impact, Nuclear Holocaust, Zombie Apocalypse, and Global Warming.

I have been predicting for 30 years that if the end of mankind comes, it will be from infectious disease. Consider Covid a "warning shots across the bow" from the Cosmic Blueberry Muffin or whatever it is you turn to in you bleakest moments.

Now you may to your Piranha Pool, jeje.
