The LIFE Yahoo group is slowly growing. Glad I found it as this Fornits shit gets old real fast."
Yeah, I can see how it gets old - you only want to hear warm, fuzzy nostalgia. Anything other than that is an automatic dismissal (
hmmmm, that sounds familar...)
Your stonewalling of any other opinion is classic - in order to validate your opinion, you refuse any other. You don't
prove your point, you don't provide any evidence that LIFE was successful, other than a personal anecdote. That, and the fact that you have buddies from the program.
If I told you that munching on cactus flowers and blowfish toxin glands
"worked for me", worked for all my friends here, too", would you buy that as a treatment modality? If I opened a center for such treatment, would you sign up yourself, or admit your "Troubled teen" - based on my testimony alone - when there's plenty of research out there that offers
evidence that blowfish toxin will kill you?
Sounds crazy, does it? Let me know what you find when you google "synanon" and "Straight Inc." Go to the factual research site of Rick Ross and Arnold Trebach. Do research on what delineates "cults" from the mainstream, and tell me how LIFE/Straight/Step/Growing Together, ad nauseum are different.
Time is running out. The Indians' botanical knowledge is disappearing even faster than the plants themselves.
