Trainspotting is a 1996 British black comedy drama film directed by Danny Boyle, starring Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Jonny Lee Miller, Kevin McKidd, Robert Carlyle, and Kelly Macdonald in her film debut. It is written in English and Scots [3]. Based on the 1993 novel by Irvine Welsh, the film was released in the United Kingdom on Feb. 23, 1996 [6].
The film follows a group of heroin addicts in an economically depressed area of Edinburgh, Scotland, and their passage through life. Beyond drug addiction, other themes in the film include an exploration of urban poverty and squalor in Edinburgh [7]. Trainspotting was released to critical acclaim and is today regarded by many critics as one of the best films of the 1990s.... More
Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967–circa April 5, 1994) was an American punk, emo, alternative rock musician and a member of the infamous 27 Club. He was the lead vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter, and a founding member of the grunge band Nirvana, a name he chose when he found out that in Buddhism the definition of nirvana is "the end of suffering." Through his angsty songwriting and anti-establishment persona, he widened the thematic conventions of mainstream rock music. He was heralded as a spokesman of Generation X and is widely recognized as one of the most influential rock musicians. More

Roger Keith "Syd" Barrett (Jan. 6, 1946–July 7, 2006) was an English singer, guitarist, and songwriter who co-founded the rock band Pink Floyd in 1965. Until his permanent departure in 1968, he was Pink Floyd's frontman and primary songwriter, known for his whimsical style of psychedelia and stream-of-consciousness writing [1, 6]. He was already absent and undependable by 1967. As a guitarist, he was influential for his free-form playing and for employing effects such as dissonance, distortion, echo, and feedback.

In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction
Man, this is cool, this is the life 😭
From homeless drug addicts to high-functioning workaholics, the continuum of addiction cuts a wide and painful swath through our Western culture.
Blending first-person accounts, riveting case studies, cutting-edge research and passionate argument, In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts takes a panoramic yet highly intimate look at this widespread and perplexing human ailment.
Countering prevailing theories of addiction as being a genetic disease or an individual moral failure, addiction specialist Dr. Gabor Maté, M.D., presents an eloquent case that addiction – all addiction – is in fact a case of human development gone askew.
No substance (not heroin, meth, crack) is addictive. If it were, everyone who took it would become addicted. They do not. We become addicted because we are predisposed by a history of early child trauma. Combined with substances or behaviors, drug use leads to addiction.
Dr. Maté, who for 12 years practiced medicine in Vancouver, Canada’s notorious Downtown Eastside – North America’s most concentrated area of drug use, begins by telling the stories of his patients who, in their destitution and uniformly tragic histories, represent one extreme of the addictive spectrum.
With trademark compassion and unflinching narrative eye, Dr. Maté brings to life their ill-fated and mostly misunderstood struggle for relief or escape -- through substance abuse -- from the pain that has tormented them since childhood.
Dr. Maté shows how the behavioral addictions of society’s more fortunate members – including himself – differ only in degree of severity from the drug habits of his Downtown Eastside patients.
In reality there is only one addiction process, its core objective being the self-soothing of deep-seated fears and discomforts.
Turning to the neurobiological roots of addiction, Dr. Maté presents an astonishing array of scientific evidence showing conclusively that:
Addictive tendencies arise in the parts of our brains governing some of our most basic and life-sustaining needs and functions: incentive and motivation, physical and emotional pain relief, the regulation of stress, and the capacity to feel and receive love;
These brain circuits develop, or don’t develop, largely under the influence of the nurturing environment in early life, and that therefore addiction represents a failure of these crucial systems to mature in the way nature intended; and
The human brain continues to develop new circuitry throughout the lifespan, including well into adulthood, giving new hope for people mired in addictive patterns. Dr. Maté then examines the current mainstream. More
Careful, kids. There's a new danger on the block. Nitazenes are a chemically defined class of substances derived from the parent compound nitazene. They were developed in the second half of the 1950s by the Swiss pharmaceutical giant Ciba AG as pain-relieving agents.
Big Pharma to blame for making obscene profits?
They are important as centrally active, selective μ-opioid receptor agonists. The high potency of fentanyl (in humans) is matched by only a few nitazenes and surpassed by etonitazene and isotonitazene.
Due to unacceptable side effects, nitazenes were never included in the pharmacopoeia of human or veterinary medicine.
Since 2019, highly potent nitazenes have proliferated as ″new synthetic opioids″ in the North American and European narcotics markets and as such have become a formative component of the opioid epidemic in the United States. Overdoses of nitazene opioids have led to several hundred documented fatalities [1].
Bacha bazi ("boy play") is homosexual rape, prostitution, and sex trafficking of "dancing boys" among Central Asian men, particularly Pashtun warlords, which was protected and promoted by the US military. While claiming not to want to interfere with cultural practices, some members of the US military were actually promoting and profiting from the deplorable practice.

Why are the Afghan people so awesome? They are kind, fun, and super hospitable. Many have retained their traditional way of life (especially in the mountainous areas) and are very happy to talk with Americans. Surprised?
Viewers will just have to watch the video to see for themselves. (That's the channel's slogan).
This Afghanistan documentary take viewer to the beautiful red rock nature in Bamiyan, crystal clear blue lakes in Band-e-Amir National Park, ancient post-Buddhist mosques and history in Mazar-i-Sharif and Herat, the bustling and now safe capital of Kabul, and the striking mountains and traditional people of Nuristan.
No one should trust the mainstream media too much, particularly in the states, where we are still fed a steady diet of propaganda and post-war political narrative.
Afghanistan in 2024 is a much different place than what is portrayed by the media. Yes, the Taliban are around, but for the most part they love (and need) tourists and will go out of their way to make sure tourist [dollars] are safe in their country.
But the choice is ours. It's not easy, but this videographer is here to tell everyone that I had an incredible visit to what was once called "the most dangerous country on earth."
[That seems to have had more to do with American invaders and terrorists bombing it, the CIA and ISI destabilizing it, and the Russians trying to incorporate it into the USSR before that, following a long period of attempted British colonization, preceding the Chinese Empire having a crack at it.]
It's [California] Phil's goal to see the world NOT through the eyes of the media, but through his own eyes. Therefore, he specializes in showing the countries the media casts in a bad light. It's in these countries that he's found the friendliest and most hospitable people. Please take a look at the full series:

افغانستان در سال 2024 با آنچه رسانه ها نشان می دهند بسیار متفاوت است. بله، طالبان در اطراف هستند، اما بیشتر آنها گردشگران را دوست دارند - و تمام تلاش خود را می کنند تا مطمئن شوند که شما در کشورشان ایمن هستید. اما انتخاب با شماست... آسان نیست، اما من اینجا هستم تا به شما بگویم که بازدیدی باورنکردنی از جایی داشتم که زمانی "خطرناک ترین کشور روی زمین" نامیده می شد.
چرا باید از افغانستان دیدن کرد؟ 5 دلیل اصلی من عبارتند از (1) مردم افغانستان، (2) مناظر / طبیعت افغانستان، (3) غذاهای افغانی (بهترین کباب ها در جهان)، (4) تاریخ افغانستان و (5) فرهنگ افغانستان
چرا مردم افغانستان اینقدر عالی هستند؟ آنها مهربان و فوق العاده مهمان نواز هستند و بسیاری از آنها شیوه زندگی سنتی خود را حفظ کردند (به ویژه در کوهستان) و از صحبت با آمریکایی ها بسیار خوشحال هستند.

7 signs people are completely fake with you
(Daniel Ally) Dealing with fake people is one of the hardest things to do, especially when they act friendly. In this video, Daniel Ally shows seven clear signs that one is dealing with a fake person. What are those signs? [In my case, I was dealing with a deceptive people pleaser who cultivated the look of an angel to conceal her actual intentions, which were selfish, brutal, and all about winning an imaginary battle of coming out ahead.]
1. They forget key details in their story 2. They make fake plans
3. They show no effort to fulfill their promises
4. They're selfish
5. They gossip about you
6. They always lie
7. They betray you
WY (Wasted Youth) patch in the mosh pit
[No one should say that there's nothing to karma, Our intentional actions catch up with us. She couldn't keep going on like this without being hoisted by her own petard, tripped up in her own snare, getting found out. She people-pleased herself right into the arms of another prince, a liar and performative mate, who just happens to be a gross ten-year-long needle-abusing heroin addict. Guess who's next?
Already the drinking and pot abuse is going full tilt, popping prescriptions. Now there's just the needle to fall in love with. Rats and snakes, would a codependent enter the jaws of the snake willingly? Not with eyes wide open. But half closed, a rat might. Not me. Codependence can be cured. She lost me, and she continued to carry on with everyone else, until there was just one too sticky to break free from, a corrosive alcoholic junkie on his way to making her a junkie. But in the meantime, she felt good by all his attention. R.I.P.
One is reminded of that song Seth A. likes to sing, by LA's Wasted Youth: "We Were On Heroin." So here's a toast to their incurable addiction, fashioned by lifestyle, glued by fentanyl and poppyflower sap. Yum, too good to resist. Today a guru said, "Cut the ties. She made her own choice. Don't interfere. It's their artha, their dharma," that is, what they came into this life to do, to throw it all away. Sad that, but what can one do other than step aside and not get dragged down by their self-destruction?]
LYRICS: "We Were On Heroin"
I need it, must have it
Kill and steal, fight to get it
I need it, must have it
Holes in my arms mean nothing
I need it, must have it
I'll lose everything I own
Just to buy it, just to have it
I don't care if I die
Gotta have it to survive
My arm's decaying day by day
My veins are collapsing, doctors say
I need it, must have it
Shoot it up in my arm
I need it, must have it
I won't sleep day or night
Till I get it, till I shoot it
Take the money from my mom
Just to buy it, just to have it
Who cares about this world?
Everything seems so blurred
I don't care if I die
I don't care if I die
I need it, must have it
I need it, must have it
I need it, must have it
I need it, heroin

The real reason women can't change the men they love
It used to be said, "Oh, she will make a good man out of him."
There was an era in the past when we thought like that and, perhaps, it was worse in the South, where traditional roles were so strongly taught.
It is partly true though: Good love helps each person and heals their wounds and built-up negative defenses. When two people love each other, they inspire one another to always strive to do better for the good of "the relationship." Right? Everyone thinks that way. Right?
One strategy here for "gridlock reduction" is that it has to be established firmly and clearly up front that both parties have the same vision for a happy relationship, This must be discussed and agreed on, line item by line item.
If one of the line items is "Don't try to change me" then is the person really ready for a relationship? Or do they just want all the benefits and accolades in a relationship without any degree of work?
I often tell my clients, "There are three people in your relationship: you, the significant other, and the relationship."
This simply means that if we look at this as 3 versus 2, it can make things a little easier and decrease the power struggle. (Again, the only problem with this model is that both people have to have the same vision for a successful and happy relationship),
So can men change? The truth is...NO, they can't.
The truth is that men tend to feel emasculated and not good enough when a woman tries to get them to make too many "adjustments" or "modifications."
RELATED: Some people never change — and that's exactly why I left
So how can a woman communicate that she's asking for a change?
For starters, being respectful is always the answer to how to deliver the message. The "what" of the message needs to be constructed in an "I feel...when you..." statement.
For example, "I feel angry and hurt when you use that tone of voice, and I would like you to soften it."
Nevertheless, the one thing I think most men would put somewhere at the top of the line item list is actually the "Don’t try to change me" request.
With this, he most likely asks for that respect and acceptance of him the way he is.
RELATED: You can't change a man who doesn't see an issue with his actions
If the woman wants to come into his life and start rearranging the furniture in there, there has to be a balance between these two tendencies — to stay the same and to move things forward by molding and melding lives into a cohesive unit.
Communication and boundaries are the way out of any conflict. And, again, so is accepting that the person is happy with who they are and sees no need to rearrange to become "relationship ready." So take a lot of time to be friends first.
Don’t get swept away to Fantasy Island. [Too late!] Remember that small adjustments, when maintained over time, become a change. But if they don't show signs of being a good match and won’t grow with you, whether male or female, no matter what the magic zodiac sign combo is, move on. More

Let's blend knowledge of Western chemical medicine and Native Chumash herbal plant remedies to help cure pain.
Healer Cecilia Garcia was a Chumash medicine woman who collaborated with a Western doctor at the University of Southern California.
Dr. James Adams, a pharmacologist at USC, learned the healing techniques of the Chumash people -- Southern California Native Americans who lived from Malibu to Ventura -- to teach them as part of his regular college classes.
Dr. Adams earned his Ph.D. in comparative pharmacology and toxicology at the University of California at San Francisco in 1981. Since then he’s written more than 200 articles for lay and academic audiences.
Dr. Adams became interested in the medicinal uses of native plants in 1994. He was taking his son out on Boy Scout walks when he began to realize that all of the native plants they encountered had been used by local Native Americans for thousands of years.
Dr. Adams set out to find an authentic Native American herbalist from which to learn. After a lengthy search, he found Chumash medicine woman Cecilia Garcia.
Dr. Adams became Garcia’s student in 1998. He studied the intricacies and underlying belief structures of Chumash healing traditions with her.
“I was her apprentice for 14 years,” says Dr. Adams. “I worked with her on every aspect of healing — making medicine, gathering medicine, leading hikes, leading talks, leading religious ceremonies, and more.
“She taught me about the medicine and the Chumash religion. She taught me how to interview patients and reach a diagnosis. She taught me the traditional way to treat a patient. We spent many hours and days together, sometimes just the two of us out hiking. We went from Davis to Ensenada and many places in between.”
Nature’s Way
Co-author Dr. James Adams, Ph.D. in pharmacology, University of Southern California
.
Dr. Adams and Native Medicine Woman Garcia eventually collaborated to produce the book Healing with Medicinal Plants of the West (2005). The fully illustrated text describes the chemistry of the plants that were used by the Chumash for medicine and generally used throughout the American West.
Since their collaboration Dr. Adams and healer Garcia led about 100 walks and workshops to teach Native American uses of healing herbs, until Garcia’s untimely passing in 2012.
Dr. Adams was also instructed by Ted Garcia, the chief of the Chumash, his brother Dennis Garcia, their father Ted Garcia, Frank Lemos, and many other Chumash people.
Dr. Adams points out that he is accepted by Chief Garcia and the Chumash people who follow him as a healer, though there are some Chumash people who do not accept him.
I asked Dr. Adams whether he was cynical about the medical profession: Does he believe that Western doctors are more concerned about making a buck [selling treatments rather] than actually healing a patient?
“Neither,” he told me. “Doctors are simply working on a false preconceived notion that herbs are not strong enough to deal with certain physical conditions. But believe me, some herbs are just as strong as any patent medicines out there.”
He adds that there is a lot of good medicine being practiced, but not with the use of opioids for pain. In fact, their use is not only counter-productive, but sometimes deadly, with at least 67,000 people dying every year in the US from their misuse, and that figure continues to rise.
According to Dr. Adams, doctors work from the premise that people should try to control pain by using the drugs that affect the brain. They tell the patient, let’s try x, or y, or z, and when those don’t work, they try opioids, like Vicodin.
Opium: Afghan flowers
American troops move in to protect the poppy fields, the source of heroin production.
.
The British created Chinese addicts.
Dr. Adams explains that opioids are compounds synthesized based on the chemistry of the herb opium (Afghan poppy plant). This is highly addictive and has never been shown to cure chronic pain.
This is all based on the notion that we need to cure the pain in our brain, but the brain only processes pain signals from the skin. More than 95 percent of the body’s pain receptors are in the skin.
"Why have doctors gotten this so wrong?" I ask. Dr. Adams tells me that the prevailing theory is still that the brain is the center of all pain, that pain can be combated by giving the patient drugs that suppress pain detectors in the brain.
“That’s the prevailing notion,” Dr. Adams explains, “but the pain comes from the skin.” The brain might process pain, but we still need to treat the pain in the skin. “When a child skins their knee, do they quickly grab their brain, or do they grab their knee?” he asks wryly.
That form of treatment may have been based on the best of intentions, but it is not working, Dr. Adams has learned. “Think of a carpenter who can’t do a job with his hammer. What does he do? He gets a bigger hammer. In medicine, pain is often treated with ibuprofen and naproxen. But when that doesn’t work, the doctor has a bigger hammer — opioids. And some doctors just go right to that bigger hammer.”
Chumash healer Cecilia Garcia taught Dr. Adams about traditional ways of dealing with pain, among other things. “Cecilia taught me how to make and use liniments from black sage and sagebrush. And as a result of working with several hundred patients over the years, I have seen that these are great pain killers, which also have the ability to deal with chronic pain.”
Dr. Adams added science to his collaboration with Garcia by explaining medically why the Chumash systems work.
“Most modern Western-trained people do not want to believe that the Indian medicines are efficacious [effective]. I have learned how these herbs worked. It took me a lot longer to learn how they cure chronic pain,” he said, adding that he has written several academic papers on this topic.
Two of his papers are “Chronic pain – can it be cured?” (Journal of Pharmaceutics and Drug Development) and “Control of pain with topical plant medicines” (Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine).
“Everyone says they feel pain in their organs, but it is almost always in the skin. So you put this herb liniment from native herbs on your skin, and the pain is gone. Even kidney stone pain can be treated with the sage brush liniment,” he explains.
“We need to learn how to treat pain correctly, and we are not doing that correctly with oral medicines,” says Dr. Adams. “When I was a boy, everyone knew how to take care of themselves when it came to the most basic everyday medical issues, like using sassafras, yerba santa, and other common herbs. But no one seems to know any of this anymore.”
Through his writings and teachings, Dr. Adams hopes to bring back the notion that the body can heal itself if we allow it to do so. Everyone should take charge of his/her health and not assume that any doctor can “heal” us.
Dr. Adams readily admits that there are some cases that his black sage or sage brush liniment doesn’t entirely cure, but there are no side effects, as in the case of opioids.
He cites an example of a 77-year-old woman with terrible hip arthritis. “She has been making the sagebrush liniment and applying it every day for the last five years, and she says that it keeps her going. Her pain is relieved. And there are dozens of other patients who treat themselves this way, and none have ever reported any incidents of toxicity.”
Dr. Adams points out that there were six top herbs used by the Chumash in healing:
Mugwort
sagebrush
white sage
black sage
bay
yerba santa.
These are described in detail in their book. There is a comprehensive scope and depth to Dr. Adams’ teaching, yet he usually emphasizes that he’s not healing anyone. He’s only making it possible for the body to heal itself.
Dr. Adams has also been compiling testimonials to demonstrate the efficacy of the healing methods he practices.
“Even if a person is told by [his or her] doctor that there is nothing the medical profession can do and that you will die, I say, you are still alive. Your body can heal itself. Don’t give up,” Dr. Adams encourages. “Learn to live in balance.”
