Acid Dropping Dinos Miss Ark -
02-12-2015, 06:28 AM
Sickular scientists inadvertently answered the question of what happened to the dinoasurs, and along the way showed us the dangers of marijuana.
Quote:
CORVALLIS, Ore. - A perfectly preserved amber fossil from Myanmar has been found that provides evidence of the earliest grass specimen ever discovered - about 100 million years old - and even then it was topped by a fungus similar to ergot, which for eons has been intertwined with animals and humans.
Ergot has played roles as a medicine, a toxin, and a hallucinogen; been implicated in everything from disease epidemics to the Salem witch trials; and more recently provided the hallucinogenic drug LSD.
Apparently both ergot and the grasses that now form most of the diet for the human race evolved together.
And if they already seemed a little scary, imagine a huge sauropod dinosaur that just ate a large portion of this psychotropic fungus, which in other animal species can cause anything from hallucinations to delirium, gangrene, convulsions or the staggers. The fungus, the grasses it lived on and dinosaurs that ate grass co-existed for millions of years.
The findings and analysis of this remarkable fossil were just published online in the journal Palaeodiversity, by researchers from Oregon State University, the USDA Agricultural Research Service and Germany.
"It seems like ergot has been involved with animals and humans almost forever, and now we know that this fungus literally dates back to the earliest evolution of grasses," said George Poinar, Jr., an internationally recognized expert on the life forms found in amber and a faculty member in the OSU College of Science.
"This is an important discovery that helps us understand the timeline of grass development, which now forms the basis of the human food supply in such crops as corn, rice or wheat," Poinar said. "But it also shows that this parasitic fungus may have been around almost as long as the grasses themselves, as both a toxin and natural hallucinogen.
"There's no doubt in my mind that it would have been eaten by sauropod dinosaurs, although we can't know what exact effect it had on them."
Amber begins as a tree sap that can flow around small plant and animal forms and permanently preserve them, as it fossilizes into a semi-precious stone. Poinar is a world leader in examining such specimens and using them to learn more about prehistoric ecosystems.
The fungus in this grass specimen, which is now extinct, was named Palaeoclaviceps parasiticus. It's very similar to the fungus Claviceps, commonly known as ergot. The fossil, taken from amber mines in Myanmar, dates 97-110 million years ago to the early-to-mid Cretaceous, when the land was still dominated by dinosaurs and conifers, but the earliest flowering plants, grasses and small mammals were beginning to evolve. The fossil shows a grass floret tipped by the dark fungus.
Much later in evolution, grasses would become a powerful life form on Earth, creating vast prairies, nourishing herds of animals, and eventually providing for the domestication of range animals and the cultivation of many food crops. The rise of crop agriculture changed the entire development of the human race, and it's now estimated that grasses compose about 20 percent of global vegetation.
Researchers also noted in their report that "few fungi have had a greater historical impact on society than ergot."
Some grasses have natural defense mechanisms, and ergot may be one of them, helping to repel herbivores. It's bitter and not a preferred food to livestock, and it's still a problem in cereal and grass seed production, as well as pastures and grazing land.
In animal and human history, the fungus has been known to cause delirium, irrational behavior, convulsions, severe pain, gangrenous limbs and death. In cattle it causes a disease called the "Paspalum staggers." In the Middle Ages it sometimes killed thousands of people during epidemics when ergot-infected rye bread was more common. It's been used as a medicine to induce abortion or speed labor in pregnant women, and one researcher - whose findings have been disputed - suggested it may have played a role in the Salem witch trials.
More than 1,000 compounds have been extracted or derived from it, some of them valuable drugs. They also included, in the mid-1900s, the powerful psychedelic compound lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, that is still being studied and has been widely used as an illegal recreational drug.
Ergot is strange. And a very, very old fossil now makes clear that it's been around about as long as grass itself.

It was too wordy for me to bother reading completely, but I skimmed through it and came to understand the following:
Acid or LSD is a type of marijuana, aka 'weed' or 'grass'
Dinosaurs 'dropped acid' by huffing marijuana, or 'grass'.
The powerful hallucinogens in marijuana caused the dinos to 'trip'.
By 'tripping', the dinos missed their trip on the Ark.
We should take a lesson from this and continue to make marijuana illegal while imposing harsher penalties on the peddlers and users of this poison.

LSD is a purely synthetic drug. It has almost no herbal properties and is in no way a type of marijuana.

Lysergic-acid-diethylamide (LSD) is a naturally occurring alkaloid that can be extracted from the fungus Ergot (hence it is naturally occurring and has herbal properties - like many alkaloids) you idiot. Yes, it can be synthesized - but so what, lots of other things can too.

Ergot does not contain any LSD. It contains a precursor, ergotamine. To get to LSD you have to do as Hofmann did:

Add 20 ml of water and evaporate in vacuo, to get d-iso-lysergic acid hydrazine. 1 g of the lysergic hydrazine is powdered well and added to 40 ml of 0.1 N (ice cold) HC1 acid. To this, cooled to 0°, is added 4 ml of 1 N Na nitrite, with good stirring. Over 2-3 min, add 40 ml of 0.1 N HC1 acid to get pH to 5. Let stand for 5 min, basify with 1 N NaHCO3, extract with 100 ml of ether, and then with 50 ml of ether. Wash the ether layer with water and dry, then evaporate in vacuo at 10°. Dissolve the resulting yellow azide in about 5 ml of diethylamine at 0° and then heat in a metal bomb at 60° for 1 hour. If a bomb is unavailable you may get by with heating for 3-4 hours at 45° in a vented flask under a nitrogen atmosphere. Also, I would flush the bomb with nitrogen before sealing and heating. Remove heat after time elapses and let stand (after bleeding off pressure for bomb method) for 2 hours and evaporate in vacuo to get 0.7 g of LSD and 0.15 g of iso-LSD. The iso-LSD will not do anything (good or bad) if consumed, so you may leave it in with the LSD. You may also separate it and convert it to LSD as in the formulas ahove.

Nonsense. There was no internet in 1938 so Hofmann can't have posted it.

I bet the dinosaurs took their LSD marijuana rectally...fags
Even if that riff-raff hadn't missed the ark because they were too busy snorting dope into their anuses, they would have died out eventually from the aids.

I noticed that this blasphemous story eminates from the most godless of states: Oregon!
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

Oregon, a Godless land overrun with hippies, sodomites and unsubdued wildlife...what I like to think of as a target-rich environment!

My bad, it should have been ¨Published in 1938¨.
My post still has merit in my opinion since it shows Ergot does not contain LSD. That might help prevent some future deaths of less informed people seeking this experience and confusing the two.
