1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.

2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,

3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God

5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them.

6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires,

7 always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth.

8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected.

9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

- 2 Timothy 3:1-9 :: New International Version (NIV)

 

6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

- Hebrews 5:6 :: King James Version (KJV)

 

Therefore, I say:

Know your enemy and know yourself;

in a hundred battles, you will never be defeated.

When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,

your chances of winning or losing are equal.

If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself,

you are sure to be defeated in every battle.

-- Sun Tzu, The Art of War, c. 500bc

 

There are two ends not to be served by a wanderer. What are these two? The pursuit of desires and of the pleasure which springs from desire, which is base, common, leading to rebirth, ignoble, and unprofitable; and the pursuit of pain and hardship, which is grievous, ignoble, and unprofitable.

- The Blessed One, Lord Buddha

The Marsi or travelling people were at one end of the production chain. Inhabiting the Abruzzi (central mountainous area of Italy), they had a reputation of being wild and warlike with strange and archaic religious practices. They lived in poverty, were excellent soldiers in the Roman army, but their only civilian attributes lay in almost legendary magical powers as snake hunters and charmers, and druggists. In many ways they were marginal people, who paid periodic visits to the cities, selling their wares in the markets and performing daring acts as snake charmers. They were reputed to have immunity against snake venom, and Galen admits to consulting them on the value of drugs and antidotes. The Psylli, Nasamones and Palaeothebans were similar peoples living elsewhere in the Mediterranean region, respected for their skills with drugs, but frowned on by the early Christians who felt that they should not be admitted to the flock without the greatest circumspection.

According to Rutten (1997:32) the top ten drugs in Roman times inducing euphoric trances when used in extremely low dosages were opium, mandragora, henbane, belladonna, thorn apple, hemlock, aconite, cannabis sativa (dagga), alcohol, and poisonous mushrooms.

Horstmanshoff (1992: 35-36) points out that the ancients differentiated between three kinds of poisons, namely acute poisons killing rapidly, chronic poisons causing physical deterioration, and chronic poisons causing mental deterioration.

"Like anyone else, I'm inundated with spam for hydrocodone, Valium and Ambien," said Elizabeth Willis, chief of the drug operation section of the D.E.A.'s office of diversion control. But determining who is sending the e-mail takes a lot of work, Ms. Willis said. "Some are registered in Europe, but the drugs are sent from Africa," she said.

 

"This problem will probably grow as people see an opportunity to make money," Ms. Willis added.

"Different kinds of drug imports carry different risks," Dr. McClellan said. "As they all come in unidentified packaging, it's difficult to separate one from the other."

 

Those who support reimportation legislation have accused the F.D.A. in recent weeks of playing politics each time the agency announces enforcement actions against reimportation. But Dr. McClellan said that "no one should argue that uncontrolled access to controlled substances is a good idea."

 

"The political concerns are not the motivation," he said. "The safety and integrity of the drug supply of the United States is."

 

Abuse of prescription painkillers is soaring. In 2002, 22 percent of those 18 to 25 abused prescription pain pills, up from 7 percent in 1992, according to government surveys. A survey of emergency room visits found that painkiller abuse nearly tripled from 1994 to 2002 and is now as common as marijuana or heroin use. Rush Limbaugh, the conservative radio commentator, acknowledged recently that he had become addicted to prescription painkillers.

 

"We think the nature of drug abuse in this country is evolving and is moving toward prescription narcotics," said John Taylor, the F.D.A.'s chief enforcement official.

Of the 12 Singpho villages, Pangsun and Kumsai are worst affected in which estimated 80 per cent of youths are addicts. Another important fact is that due to prolong use of opium; most of the Singpho people have lost their fertility. This can be justified by the fact that in 1950 the Singpho population was recorded at 50,000. Now the figure has come down to 10,000 only in the whole northeast India.

The Devil is not a fixed entity or individual whom you can accuse someone of. A state of being or a state of behavior which some people find contradictory to certain norms, can get classified as satanic behavior. And it is very easy to accusebut in turn covering your own mistakes

By the law of opposite, if you accuse someone today as the Devil, then a time will come when you yourself will be accused as the Devil by others

The message that one might fall into junkiedom like the ground opening up beneath you was a potent one.

And you could mark the point when the broader culture shifted to a new attitude to drugs in a single word: Trainspotting. Irvine Welsh's novel of junkie life in Edinburgh had a circulation initially confined to a relatively small group of devotees, willing to work through its dialect and unforthcoming modernist prose, but the movie made from it took all that had been said about smack over the past decades and turned it inside out.

From the opening scene - Iggy Pop's Lust for Life pumping through the soundtrack as Renton, the narrator, charges through a shopping street pursued by cops - to the beatific scene where he overdoses and the ground opens up to take him (with Lou Reed's Perfect Day playing this time), with much humour in between, Trainspotting argued that hard drugs were not an absence of life as the educational paraphernalia had suggested, but a way of life - high-risk and ultimately destructive, but with its own meaning and ritual.

 

It argued that it could be chosen as a way of life, not due to ignorance of its dark side, but in the full knowledge of it. "If heroin wasn't fun we wouldn't take it," says Renton. "We're stupid but we're not that stupid."

The gradual insertion of drugs into the broader spectrum of everyday life looks paradoxical. In fact it is the rule rather than the exception. The use of substances to alter consciousness is just about our oldest cultural activity, predating agriculture, and as venerable as other distinctively human practices, such as art and burying the dead.

From the coca leaf of South America to the peyote cactus to tobacco to African ibogaine to the Indian poppy - humans everywhere homed in on whatever was around and bound it into religious rituals. When the substances also prove toxic they develop a tolerance to its toxicity. When they are too toxic to tolerate they do the sort of thing Siberian peoples do - drink the hallucinogen-rich urine of reindeer who have eaten naturally occurring magic mushrooms. One way or another we find our way to drugs.

 

Through the imposition of ritual, those peoples who found themselves surrounded by such plants in relative abundance developed ways of controlling usage - limiting it to special festivals or to use by the priestly class. When European conquerers encountered this - after several hundred years of a type of Christianity hostile to mass rituals of ecstacy - they saw only decadence and demonic possession. The effect of drugs is only partly determined by their chemical nature, the cultural conditions and expectations of what they will do.

 

Drugs move from the status of cultural accoutrement to cultural problem the further they move away from the plant form in which they are found and the more they become an addiction for export.

 

Gin replaced ale as a favoured tipple in the 18th century - it was imported into London by King William and Queen Mary, who had an exclusive license - and the impact of a distilled rather than brewed liquor was a major contributor to the squalor and misery of the new urban working class. The British Empire was founded on selling Indian opium to China at the point of a gun - and that only blew back in their faces wwhen they couldn't keep it out of the mother country.

 

Thomas De Quincy's Confessions of an English Opium Eater is the first example of the "memoir of derangement" that would culminate in comic and farcical form with Hunter S.Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Confessions was written around the same time as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and has a similar fascination with how human beings can be dismembered and re-assembled by modern life. De Quincy is relating to his visions, torments and joys as something that he initially controlled, which then got control of him - as an addiction.

 

But opium would only produce its dark masterpieces in the 20th century, following the spread of morphine (from the 1870s on) and then heroin (developed as a cure for morphine addiction). These are really meta-drugs - they target the brain receptors explicitly concerned with reducing pain and thereby enhancing pleasure. Hence the figure of the "junkie" - the Frankenstein's monster shambling across the modern cityscape, all human attributes reduced to a single goal, that of the next hit.

 

It's the image used to terrify people away from experimentation, but, as William Burroughs noted, it could also be one of addiction's perverse compensations. There is no need to wonder about what you should be doing, could be doing, what would make you happy - you know the one thing you need and want, you just have to get it.

 

Burroughs's two great books - Junky and The Naked Lunch - are two sides of a coin, the former a coolly understated journey through the smack addict nightworld of the 1940s, the latter a surreal treatment of it as a private and paranoid nightmare.

 

Burroughs's junky existed in a world that had not fully internalised the idea of drug addiction as a moral failing - junkies worked their way through cities, "burning down" (i.e. wearing thin the patience of) doctor after doctor, chemist after chemist, received regular "hits" in prison, were treated sometimes as scum, sometimes as mere nuisances. Junky's unforgettable evocation of a secret world of networks, rituals, codes and legends, best captured one of the most intractable features of heroin addiction - that it presents itself as an adventure in a locked-down world that is, or was, trying to breed conformist organisation people.

 

By contrast The Naked Lunch - memorably filmed by David Cronenberg - explores the growing symbiosis of drugs and power. If heroin represents pure desire in all its contradictory aspects, then the global police will have the utmost interest in maximising its production and control.

 

Burroughs argued that heroin reversed the normal process of capitalism - that smack sold the consumer to the product, rather than the other way round. Today, the heroin model is taking over. Hyperconsumption, advertising, marketing and the "brand" keep an overproducing economy going by speeding up the process in which desires and novelties become needs. To try and wipe out drugs in a world of $300 trainers is quixotic in the extreme. Drugs are not marginal to this culture - they're at the centre of it.

 

There is obviously a need for public education to make people aware of the extremely dangerous nature of heroin and other opiates, given that they have a capacity in many - but by no means all - people to become physically addicted quite rapidly. But the best way to make that clear, especially to the young, would be to acknowledge that other drugs are more manageable.

 

The fact that drugs can be not only fun, but give one moments of insight into self and others that might not otherwise be achieved, needs to be said if only because everyone realises this as soon as they take their first e. Only with that genuinely honest approach could the genuine dangers be underlined - the extremely small risk of an allergic reaction to ecstacy, the psychologically addictive potential of coke, the risks for psychologically vulnerable people of some of the stronger strains of dope currently on offer. Without that shift, the gap between social morality and the law will widen, not narrow, and such a space is one in which corruption breeds.

 

As Reefer Madness author Eric Schlosser notes, there are currently 18,000 people in US federal prisons - and many more in state prisons - for marijuana-related offences, often serving sentences longer than those for rape and murder. And in Victoria, the entire drug squad has been abolished, with confessions of officers now revealing how inextricably intertwined drug production and drug enforcement has been in this state. In the sort of world we live in, having a "war on drugs" is about as sensible as having a war on air.

Before Iran-contra, the CIA set up the golden triangle as an alternative funding source for the Vietnam war. Five years later Australia had a smack problem of its very own.

http://www.cbc.co.jp/ff/agro/agro1b.html

 

Halogen is a collective term for fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatinefive elements of Group 17 in the periodic table. The term itself is thought to be derived from a Greek word meaning making salt. Halogens are highly reactive and can be used to produce a number of very useful compounds used to make synthetic materials. CBC supplies a wide range of fluorides, chlorides, bromides, and iodides from both domestic and overseas manufacturers. Custom synthesis is also accepted.

Heterocyclic Compounds.

http://www.cbc.co.jp/ff/agro/agro1d.html

 

Cyclic organic compounds are generally classified as either carbocycles or heterocycles. The prefix "hetero" is derived from the Greek word heteros, meaning "other" or "different." Thus, a heterocycle contains one or more atoms other than carbon, while a carbocyle contains only carbon atoms. Recent studies have found many heterocyclic compounds to possess important biological characteristics. Indeed, heterocyclic compounds are now considered an indispensable component of pharmaceutical products and agricultural chemicals. CBC supplies a range of heterocyclic compounds to domestic and overseas markets.

Pheromones.

http://www.cbc.co.jp/ff/agro/agro5.html

 

What are pheromones?

A pheromone is the scent released by a female animal to attract a male for the purpose of mating. Each species produces its own distinct type of pheromone. Synthetic pheromones are sprayed over entire fields to disrupt the insect mating process and prevent the next generation of insects from emerging, rather than killing them directly with pesticides.

CBC acts as global distributor of products from Shin-Etsu Chemical, the largest pheromone manufacturer in the world.

The advantages of pheromones?

Each insect species produces its own pheromone. Synthetic pheromones can therefore be designed to act only on a particular target species, without interfering with other plant or animal species. This is one of the reasons why synthetic pheromones for farming are attracting increasing attention the world over.

Silane Compounds.

http://www.cbc.co.jp/ff/agro/agro1c.html

 

While the human body is carbon-based, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a silicon-based body might also exist somewhere in the universe. Perhaps such a body would even resemble the space creatures depicted in science-fiction movies. Silicon does not occur as simple substance in nature, but is found extensively as oxides and silicates, both on earth and elsewhere in the universe. Silicon is the second most common element after oxygen with a Clark number of 25.8 in the earth's crust, with accounts for approximately 0.7% of the total mass of the earth. Although silicon is said to be important for living bodies too, organic silicon compounds are still a matter for the future.

 

CBC is currently developing a range of organic silicon compounds for market release. For example, extensive research on CMTMS (chloromethyltrimethylsilane) indicates potential as a silylating agent and possibly for use in manufacturing synthetic materials.

Organic Phosphorus 2003 Workshop

ORGANIC PHOSPHORUS 2003

Monte Verita, Ascona, Switzerland, July 13-18, 2003

Scope of the workshop

Phosphorus is essential for life, yet is frequently the element that most limits biological productivity. Most organisms take up phosphorus as inorganic orthophosphate, but organic forms of phosphorus often dominate in soils and aquatic systems. Therefore, it is not surprising that many types of organisms possess complex mechanisms enabling them to access phosphorus from organic compounds. Understanding these mechanisms may provide answers to fundamental questions in agriculture as well as terrestrial and aquatic ecology; but organic phosphorus remains poorly understood and currently represents the greatest gap in our knowledge of the global phosphorus cycle. Information on organic phosphorus in the environment is dispersed across various disciplines, including chemistry, microbial ecology, agriculture and limnology. The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists working in these fields to exchange ideas and knowledge concerning organic phosphorus characterisation and transformations in terrestrial and aquatic systems, and to evaluate future directions for research.

Organic Phosphorus Compounds.

http://www.cbc.co.jp/ff/agro/agro1a.html

 

Phosphorus is believed to have been discovered in urine by the alchemist H. Brand as far back as 1669. Phosphorus occurs naturally in the form of phosphates such as apatite. In animals, it helps to form bones and teeth and is present as complex organic compounds which are vital to living bodies. Organic phosphorus compounds are also used to make phosphorus insecticides such as Diazinon.

 

CBC has a long history of supplying organic phosphorus intermediates, including both domestic production and products from Cheminova Agro in Denmark, for which CBC has exclusive distribution rights in Japan. Cheminova Agro is an established manufacturer of intermediates as well as made-to-order products.

Thou belongest to That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone, murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at last. Thou art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing flesh. The soul in man cannot be killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped, in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!
