Shouldn't we terraform the moon first since it's

a) much closer to earth

b) it'd serve as a practical steppingstone to other planets given its low-g nature and proximity to other planets

LETTUCE

AKA: Lactuca sativa, Lactuca virosa.

Effects: The seeds are said to be psychoactive, producing a high similar to opium, but milder. Why
bananas (which have no psychoactive ingredients whatsoever) have gained such a reputation and
lettuce has not is somewhat of a mystery. Jonathan Ott says trace amounts of morphine have been
discovered in lettuce (lactucarium, or lettuce opium), but then, it is a trace constituent in human milk
and cow's milk also, and is a natural product of brain chemistry.

Precautions: It is not addictive, though large doses are toxic.

Dosage: The wild lettuce plant (or the hearts and roots of iceberg lettuce) is liquefied in a blender until about a pint of liquid is produced. The liquid is then left in a bowl under heat lamps or the hot sun until it has evaporated, leaving only a sticky brownish-green residue. The residue is placed in an opium pipe and heated, with the pipe pointed downward so that the residue does not get in the stem.
The resultant white smoke is held in the lungs for about half a minute.

I need to take a little break from myself, and drinking alcohol is getting old. What avenue should one take if he's looking for a conscious-expanding experience? As of now, this lettuce smoothie doesn't sound too terrible.

slightly overcast here in Tokyo. It's supposed to start in about an hour. Need to find a position without too many buildings. Might be hard. I should have planned better.
