Salvia sage extract 40x
 
A high quality standardised 40x extract of Salvia divinorum. The strongest one available at Azarius!

The Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) is also known as Blue water lily or Egyptian lotus. In the time of the ancient Egyptians, the plant was considered sacred. The Egyptians appreciated the flower not only for his pleasing smell, but also for its healing qualities. Many scenes depict women holding the flower, smelling its divine fragrance.

A standard dose is 6-10 drops in a liquid drink or under the tongue. You can also add the tincture directly to an alcoholic beverage such as wine. The benefit of using a tincture instead of flowers is that you don't need to steep the flowers in the wine. With the use of a tincture the wine can be drank immediately.

Kanna UC extract contains a higher amount of the alkaloid mesembrine than other extracts, making this version much more potent! Mesembrine is responsible for the sedative effects all Sceletium tortuosum extracts are known for.

Without the energizing part of Kanna which can make some feel slightly out of tune, this extract is really something else. Completely mellowing, and with the ability to make your surroundings funnier, kanna is nice to use in all sorts of circumstanes. Enjoy the stress-reducing and relaxing buzz of this potent extract, but make sure you only take small amounts at once (however regular you like), or else a slight nausea could occur.

What is Kanna?

Kanna is a South African narcotic plant also known as Sceletium Tortuosum. It's soothing sedative effect was discovered by the Hottentots (Khoikhoi) over 300 years ago. The tribesmen would chew, smoke or sniff Kanna for pleasure and inebriation.

Sakae Naa (Combretum quadrangulare) is a relatively unknown herb made from the leaves of the tree with the same name. The tree is found in various jungles and wetlands throughout Southeast Asia.

The extract is used in China as herbal medicine for common colds, sore throats and mild pain relief. Independent studies have confirmed the anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Properties which the Combretum quadrangulare tree shares with other species in the Combretum family.

Sakae Naa is used by many people in Thailand and Myanmar though it is reportedly seldom sold. Farmers pick the leaves themselves and chew or smoke them, using it as a substitute for Mitragyna speciosa because Sakae Naa is remarkably similar to it in both look and taste. The effects are energizing and mildly sedating and last up to 4 hours. However, the Sakae Naa is less potent then mitrigyna Speciosa, which makes this extracted form quit interesting.

Iboga (Tabernanthe iboga) cutting

Native to western Central Africa, Iboga is a perennial rainforest plant and hallucinogen that can stimulate the central nervous system and induce visions. Tabernanthe Iboga can grow up to approximately 2 meters; in the right conditions it can grow up to 10 meters.

The Iboga plant has small leaves and its flowers are white and pink. The fruit can be oval or round spherical shaped and has an orange colour. The root bark has the highest concentration of the alkaloid Ibogaine.

The Bwiti of Central Africa use Iboga, or more accurately the psychoactive component Ibogaine as part of their spiritual practices as they regard Iboga as the true tree of knowledge. Traditionally, small doses of the Iboga root bark are eaten or used for tea to reach stimulant and aphrodisiac effects. In higher doses a visionary state can be reached. In western society Ibogaine is used in treating chemical dependence.

Note: When your cutting arrives it may differ from our photograph and seem withered, but if you follow the steps below you'll quickly see it liven up again.

Growing Iboga

This Iboga cutting allows you to grow an Iboga plant at home. The cutting is shipped in a glass tube with agar, to ensure it survives the journey. As soon as you receive it, carefully take the cutting out of the casing and wash all the agar from the roots. Next, plant it in a pot and put it in the filter bag (included) to let it harden. Keep the Iboga moist at all times and slowly poke holes in the bag to let it acclimatize to dryer air. If the plant becomes stressed, you can cover up the holes with tape until it recovers.

The agar in this tube is naturally black due to added nutrients.

Mexican Tarragon (Tagetes lucida) live plant

A live plant of Mexican Tarragon (Tagetes lucida), to be planted in your outdoor garden or balcony pots. Tagetes Lucida, also known as Sweet marigold, is a member of the Sunflower family. It is a beautiful, bright green perennial plant from the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico.

The first known use of Mexican Tarragon was as a ritual incense by the Aztec, who called it yauhtli or 'plant of the clouds'. The Huichol Indians used it in vision ceremonies. The Maya also believed the Tagetes species to have magical properties and used a variety in their sacred balché drink.

Nowadays the fresh herb is used worldwide. For example, one can easily find a bundle of fresh Tagetes lucida flowers at markets in Mexico. Locals use it as a spice, as a remedy for various ailments or as a ritual herb.

Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus peruvianus)

Another beautiful member of the "San Pedro" family, also known as the Peruvian Torch (Trichocereus peruvianus). This cactus has been used as a religious sacrament by a small number of Indian tribes in northern Peru. It’s probably the most powerful and magical specie from the Trichocereus family. The spines from this cactus are brown, but they turn grey as they get older.

T. peruvianus contains about the same concentration of mescaline as the San Pedro T. pachanoi cactus.

This cactus is a rapid and easy grower. It can be easily grown from seed. It tolerates a lot when it comes to its ideal growing circumstances. Therefore this cactus is perfect for the beginning cultivator. Under normal circumstances it will grow about 30 centimetres each year. In the summer it needs a lot of sun. A few hours of direct sunlight and the rest of the day indirect sunlight is the optimal sun exposure. When the roots have fully grown it needs only a little bit of water. Standard cactus soil will do for growing this species.

The small thornless Peyote cactus (Lophophora williamsii) originates from the south of Texas and northern Mexico. The plant is a very important religious sacrament in many native American cultures of Central and North-America. In Mexico the cactus is also sold as a medicine against blindness, fever and many other diseases.

The active alkaloids of the Peyote cactus are:

mescaline (3,4,5- trimethoxy-B-phenethylamine)
n-methylmescaline
n-acetylmescaline
lophophorine
thyramine
hordinenine
anhalaninine
anhalonidine
pellotine
o-methyllanhalonidine
The most important active alkaloid is mescaline.

Only one in a thousand San Pedro cacti (Trichocereus pachanoi) will grow into a crestate mutation. This large and beautiful entheogenic cactus is a lust for the eye. Don't be ashamed to get this cactus into your home only for decoration!

The San Pedro cactus is the oldest known magical plant from South America. Originally, this plant comes from Ecuador and Peru, where it still grows on the highlands at 2000 - 3000 metres.

The cactus can be grown under dry and wet circumstances, it grows quicker when it's watered regularly. However, without water the plant can survive for years and even produce new sprouts.

Semi and full crestate San Pedro

Two forms of the San Pedro crestate are available: a full crestate and semi crestate. Both forms are shipped in pot. The height varies between 20 to 30 cm.

The full crestate is a cactus that has immediately developed into a large fan shape, while the semi hasn't mutated until later, showing a crestate form on top of an otherwise (somewhat) regular San Pedro stem. Either form is quite a collector's item, but also equally potent as the regular cactus.

Effects - San Pedro Crestate

Mescaline cacti allow you to explore your inner fantasy world. They will give you a trip with spiritual, colourful visions and feelings of inner tranquillity, oneness with life, heightened awareness and rapid thought flow. The subject-object consciousness disappears, en you feel you are melted away in the sensory (mainly visual) perception. This comes mostly together with indescribable feelings of happiness.

The San Pedro trip is less heavy and 'friendlier' on the body than the Peyote trip. The nausea during the first hour after consumption will be less than with the Peyote.

Usage

The San Pedro crestate can be consumed just like the regular San Pedro, either fresh or dried.

FURTHER PRODUCTS AND ORDERS ARE PLACED HERE.

Try not to eat at least 6 hours before consuming the cacti. Remove the skin and thorns. Make sure you peel thinly as most of the active substances are concentrated just beneath the skin. You can now eat the meat around the wooden core. Beware of splinters. This cactus also tastes very bitter. The best thing to avoid the bitterness is to drink it with sour fruit juice, just as pineapple or grapefruit juice.

A tastier way of consuming the cacti is to make tea of them. Remove the thorns and cut the cacti in small pieces. Boil them for 2-3 hours in a closed pan with low heat. After letting it cool down you can mix it with fruit juice or honey.

The cacti can be dried by cutting them into slices and putting them in an oven on 50°C for 4 or 5 hours. Then you can eat the slices. An often occurring first effect is nausea. Some people say eating ginger helps to avoid the nausea.

Mescaline dosage

Remember that potency can vary greatly. Therefore it is best not to take the dosage all at once, but to build up the dosage gradually: take half of the dosage, wait an 60 to 90 minutes to see what the effect is, then if desired take half of what is left over and if necessary repeat. A San Pedro trip takes about two to two and a half hours to peak.

Mescaline dosages:
150 mg threshold dosage
150 - 300 mg light to moderate dosage
300 - 400 mg strong trip, last 6- 12 hours
450 - 500 mg possible ego dissolution, trip will last about 12 hours
500 - 600 mg definite ego dissolution, trip can last up to 24 hours
Fresh Cactus to mescaline ratio:
400 g contains about 480 mg Mescaline - 0.12% mescaline per gram of cactus (according to Schultes & Hofmann)

Dried Cactus to mescaline ratio:
100 g contains about 200 - 300 mg Mescaline - 0.2 - 0.3% mescaline per gram of cactus. Dry weight is 25% of the fresh weight (75% water)

Warning

Do not combine with alcohol, MAO-Inhibitors or other stimulants.
Do not use when pregnant, depressed, on medication, driving motorized vehicles, under 18 years old. When you're using San Pedro make sure there's someone with you to assist you when necessary.

We've uploaded a video on You Tube called: "German democracy: how police beats citizens in Berlin" on July 17, 2014 at 5:21 PM. It's a video filmed by private citizens, no copyright issue that should be easily available for YouTube Google Adsense monetization.

Do you think the cyber censure would allow monetization with the Google Ads for a simple video like this?

Think again!

Here is the description of the filmed material:

For how long we will be lied and manipulated by our peers? Homo hominis lupus. Only we can liberate ourselves from the slavery in which we live, of whatever nature it may be. We can only be kept in the cages we do not or refuse to see.

In 1910, The Encyclopaedia Britannica defined anarchism as: the name given to a principle or theory of life and conduct under which society is conceived without government - harmony in such a society being obtained, not by submission to law, or by obedience to any authority, but by free agreements concluded between the various groups.

Interesting the differences between the definitions given by the various powers that controlled and controls a country.

In 1958, the modern Romanian language dictionary explains anarchy as the: Condition of disorganization, disorder, chaos in a country, an institution etc.; insubordination, indiscipline of an individual against an organized community. - State of production, specific to the capitalist system, in which (because of private ownership of the means of production) the social production activity is unplanned and without supervision, leading to periodic crises and unemployment.

The Romanian language explanatory dictionary from 1998 considers anarchy as a: State of disorganization, disorder, chaos in a country, an institution etc. - Attitude of disobedience, misbehavior of an individual against an organized community.

I just want to ask you this: do you consider that our present society is organized in a fair and acceptable manner, and when you will understand that you are here on Earth only to improve the conditions of those who come after you? When you will realize that we are all one?

Same fascist censure story for another video of ours: Cannabis Cures Cancer: Dr Christina Sanchez explains...

Molecular Biologist Explains How THC Kills Cancer Cells. The legalization of the plant is still a highly debated topic -- despite the many case studies that support its use in treating cancers, including Leukemia. Social stigma is now the predominant factor inhibiting its use and legalization, but that perception is being changed by the many pro-cannabis supporters speaking out from various fields.
Source: http://www.TurismoAssociati.it/dBlog
It's still illegal in most areas of the world, but the cannabis plant boasts some incredible benefits -- not just as a healing medicinal, but as an eco-friendly source for clothing, energy, and even food.

Insight into how THC (the main psychoactive component of the cannabis plant) cures Cancer is explained by molecular biologist, Dr. Christina Sanchez, in the video above. A scientist at the Compultense University in Madrid, Spain, she relayed her long-time studies and enlightening findings with Cannabis Planet TV.

Cannabinoids refer to any group of related compounds that include cannabinol and the active constituents of cannabis. The compounds activate cannabinoid receptors in the body, and in effect the body itself produces compounds called endocannabinoids. These play a major role in many processes within the body that help create a healthy environment.

But one does not have to go out of their comfort zone to experience the effects -- as cannabis has been shown to treat cancer without any psychoactive effects.

In many situations, cannabinoids have been proven to reduce Cancer cells as they have a great impact on the rebuilding of the immune system. While the rate of success still varies (depending on the strain of the plant used), many patients are experiencing a profound reduction of cancer in a short period of time.

A lot of debate surrounding the medicinal use of the plant is based on the perception that cannabis must be smoked for it to be beneficial; this is actually false, and could be a relief to some. Contrary to popular notion, smoking the weed does not assist a great deal in treating disease within the body, as therapeutic levels cannot be reached through such method. Instead, using the oil from the plant or eating it is the best way to go about obtaining the necessary ingredients from the cannabinoids.

The Earth offers many remedies to assist the human body in re-gaining balance. As mankind has evolved and implemented modern ways of survival, a disconnect with natural living was created, and in effect, many issues have rapidly manifested in the last few hundred years. But deriving plant-based medicines and treating food, as well as lifestyle habits, as preventable medicine will ensure that body balance is regained.

Social acceptance of the use of the cannabis plant is growing, although it is still held in different regard than chemotherapy. But as its medicinal properties are more deeply explored and shared, the world can continue to re-shape its opinion and allowance of its use.

LEAF

Approx. 106,000 Americans die yearly from prescribed medications. Source: Journal of American Medical Association

I totally believe in what we're doing and I think it's the most important thing that I can be doing right now

There are so many people who are sick and if this can help them people have to know about this.

Research is finding that there's an alternative.

It's fantastic that I have to share this with my family that we are doing this together

and that we both feel so passionately about it

Dr. William Courtney, MD: She was on over 40 different medicines, she had been on Methotrexate and Plaquenil,

one of those which nearly destroyed her vision

potent anti inflammatory Brexin

was on all sorts of painkillers and all sorts of antibiotics

she had classic steroid toxicity

her face was the shape of a moon because there is a lot of swelling that occurs in the face

At the age of 16 she was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis that evolved into a lupus condition

with diagnose of interstitial cystitis and autoimmune disorder, in bed for 4 years

her mother thought she would never survive

Kristen began juicing using raw cannabis leaves.

I went to talk to William as a friend and as a doctor

about his experience with patients and how they used cannabis

Seeing what the juicing did for me, using it in this form was so significant, it changed my life.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE finding:

"In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many of the foods we consume."

About 4 to 6 weeks after I started on juicing everyday I had no more back pain,

I didn't need pain pills, I felt the best day I ever had.

A lot of people think cannabis and pot are not medicine

The SCIENCE

I stumbled on an article in Scientific American, december 2004

they had an article on marijuana as The Brain's Own Marijuana and introduced the idea

that the body produces compounds that are very similar to those found in marijuana or cannabis

Cannabis actually goes up stream, it provides feedback from the postsynaptic nerve

to the presynaptic nerve which is unheard in neurochemistry where

all neurotransmissions were unidirectional and all of the sudden swimming

against that force a little cannabinoid molecule that tied the hole system together.

The phytocannabinoids from this plant augment the body's attempt to restore

and increase function to a normal level.

So it mimics the regulatory system of cellular physiology

and recently the Food and Drug Administration has approved of CBD

which is a cannabinoid like THC, one of 80 cannabinoids.

The federal patent compares vitamin C, vitamin E and CBD or cannabidiol.

CBD turned out to be more potent than either of those two.

Non Psychoactive

...thing that I warn my patients out is

if you're going to be juicing this flower and this leaves you're going to be doing this high dose,

non psychoactive, cannabinoid dietary approach, please do not heat it.

When you heat cannabis you make it psychoactive which for a large part of the community

the psychoactivity of a plant is the measure of its medical quality but its really quite the inverse.

To heat cannabis in any way you're destroying some of the medicinal proprieties of it

To use the plant effectively we have to use it the way it evolved over 34 million years,

which is raw, because when is raw the THC is bonded as THC acid

it requires aging, drying, so as a hunter-gatherer we gather this plant, we know as well

as this plant ages it changes character and suddenly has a psychoactive effect.

Dr. Brett Wright, M.D.: I think that's the most exciting area of cannabis research:

is looking at non psychoactive cannabinoids.

Because if you do heat it you'll decarboxylate the THC acid and you're going

to have 600 mg of THC acid with the CBD acid and be unconscious probably the better part of the week.

Between heating the plant whether that's in a sucker, a cookie or baked good, butter,

vaporized, smoked, all those techniques convert THC acid which is not psychoactive into THC

and provide you with that 10 mg dose,

but if you eat the plant raw then THC acid is the way is found in the plant and not psychoactive.

The juicing allows to get up to the 500 to 600 mg which is 60 times more than you can tolerate if it was heated.

This treatment is not psychoactive where people would have to be stoned when they take it

they can take it and go to work and play with their kids

It's hard for me to understand the laws against something like green leaf therapy

and to think that Prednisone is legal.

We're still fighting the stigma of marijuana back from the 20-30-40-50's

The Controversy

Attorney Keith Failder, Former Prosecutor: I was a prosecutor for 8 years in Mendocino County so I know it

it from both as a defense attorney and as a prosecutor that the 1972 Controlled Substances Act

said that marijuana had no medical value whatsoever

But the Government has a Patent on its medical proprieties,

the Food and Drug Administration has approved that it is investigated as a drug...

I have not found the United States to be very open about cannabis research.

In order to print an article in a journal you have to use cannabis that they certified for your study

and there are physicians who waited 3-4-5-6 years, some even longer then that to just get a sample.

The Federal Government has been kind of schizophrenic in the way it looks at marijuana:

it says it has no medical value under that act but at the same time

the Federal Government has been funding research on marijuana for years and decades and

even patented certain strains of marijuana because they recognized it has its medical value.

The California Narcotic Officers' Association does not believe in Medical Marijuana,

they believe it's all a big scam and that's how they train law enforcement officers.

Law enforcement is allowed to take a percentage of all assets that are forfeited and seized

under the state and federal asset forfeiture law,

so it takes the really enlightened passion of law enforcement officer to recognize that they use

the Medical Marijuana laws are designed to protect patients.

Tom Allman, Mendocino County Sheriff: I was trained: when somebody had marijuana you took them to jail.

It was no medicine. The use for marijuana as an illegal substance and the people went to jail for.

In 1996 California took a huge leap. I didn't support Proposition 215 because of the education I had,

the experience I had and what I've seen through the illegal marijuana gardens that I've seen throughout my career.

Since 1996 I have changed my opinion somewhat: I believe there is a very clear medicinal use for marijuana,

that being said I believe that there are a large percentage of people who use marijuana as an excuse

to either make profits or for recreation. The people who use marijuana for the true intended use

that the voters passed, medicinal, I'll do anything I can to support their rights.

Proposition 215 (or the Compassionate Use Act of 1996) is a California law concerning the use of medical cannabis. It was enacted, on November 5, 1996.
There's many more things that law enforcement can be focused on than Medicinal Marijuana.

I don't want to give the impression at all that I support people who are growing marijuana

for medical purposes 364 days of the year and then 1 day a year they make a big sale for a couple of hundred

thousands dollars and they are commercial sellers a day of the year. They are the people that are causing

problems for the people who really and truly need and can use medical marijuana.

Baby Amber 2 years old - Diagnosed with terminal brain tumors

Terrified! When you're told as a parent that your child does have a tumor in her brain. It took 24 hours

in an operating room, they gave us a 10 percent chance of survival with treatment.

Arlene Casen - Hospice Coordinator, 30 years experience: The Oakland Children's Hospital where they called me

and they said they had a baby who they were discharging home, this baby had completed all treatments

that would be useful for it had brain tumors

had surgery, had radiation and chemo and the tumors were still growing, still multiplying and therefore they

said to the parents: just take this baby home and make it comfortable because there's nothing more that

we know that would help its condition.

...it's hard to accept to the point where they wanted us to take her and try to find some acceptance

A month went by and I got in contact with the family and they said: well, we just got back from

the children's hospital, they did a CT scan, the tumors had shrunk and there are fewer of them

and they said: I'll tell you what we've been doing, we've been juicing the fan leaves of the marijuana plant

and given to our baby a shot glass of this juice everyday.

This is like this wonderful hospice story that she's no longer on hospice,

I brought the oxygen concentrator back. It's just one of those wonderful success stories.

You know, the plant is a pretty amazing plant because it appears

that the juice of this plant is saving this baby's life.

Here we have something that can really change people's lives

I mean I was laying in bed catheterized thinking that, physicians were just trying to make me comfortable,

they really didn't think that there was anything more that they could do,

and: I mean I lived to be 30, which I am now...

That was the best I could hope for...

the best I could hope for was taking enough Methadone and Percocet everyday that I just didn't feel anything at all.

Mary Ellen Jerkovich-Director Humboldt Patient Resource Center: I've been long in touch with Doctor Courtney

because we have received a doctor's recommendation from one of his patients and in it: as they start juicing

So after I contacted him I was really excited to hear that there might be

some other alternatives to smoking the cannabis.

These are friends we had the past year, they said: your father is not the same as he was when we first met him,

he seems to be much more alive, doing a lot more, more active.

And I have informed them it was because of the juice he had been taking.

Right after we start juicing he seemed to be more active, we would do things out in the garage more

and he wouldn't spend so much time in his chair.

We have run out periodically in the last year and a half and that's what made me convince that he needed it,

because when he ran out he would have trouble to get out of the car.

I had four doctors tell me that I should have a hysterectomy.

You either have no ovaries or at very least you're sterile.

...I wouldn't be able to have a child

Despite the very potent birth control, despite being sterile, a baby decided to come join the party.

We like to distinguish ourselves while being extremely scientific and people know that if they're gonna come

to us they're going to go through a lot of hoops but they're also going to get the most up-to-date scientific

knowledge on this subject and they are going to see a physician who is an expert in the field

of non psychoactive cannabinoids and there are plenty of people that want that and are looking for that.

We opened our fifth office in Luxembourg, their government is really sympathetic and open

There's an international group studying autism and CBD in Luxembourg

There is a physician there who is writing cannabis scripts who is also a senator

The Government is actually funding experiments in a research center using cannabis in large part because

of Dr. Courtney's work with non psychoactive cannabinoids and senator Colombera's work with cancer patients.

There are now facilities for testing of plants and there's been more progress made in the last 5 or 6 months,

a new strain in from Spain called "Cannatonic", 6.9 percent CBD.

That's 700% increase over "Northern Lights" which is our previous high producer.

I would like to find strains that have all of the cannabinoids present in an amount that's useful

I'd like to produce strains that are adapted to environment

In Luxembourg we're producing thousands of thousands of thousands of seeds to raise the money

to give away half a pound of seeds, because if that person grows an acre of cannabis and feeds a family

the proteins and the fat acids

an incredible food source, an incredible preventative medicine source and an incredible therapeutic source

and at the same time they're sucking 5 times as much CO2 out of the environment as an acre of trees

First we have to change Convention Treaty no.1 which was the convention that the UN put out in 1961

that says cannabis is a crime, if you have it, if you grow it, if is in your possession you should be in prison.

That dogma has dominated the world.

Right now, they're asking for input from the World Health Organization and the process of writing a letter

stating that this is a dietary essential, it's not a criminal thing, because we have to change

that treaty before we can go into Central South-America and say:

you grow an acre of this plant, feed your family, prevent illnesses.

So, Cannabis International wants: legalizing the plant globally, giving it back to people as a food source,

prevent illness is so much better then waiting until you have disease.

With my own experience, in all the patients that I've spoken to,

I believe that it's not an isolated incident, that this is the best medication.

The producers of this film recommend that you consult with your physician before attempting to juice cannabis.

Sky's Sarah Hewson talks to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. VIDEO.

Chelsea Elizabeth Manning (born Bradley Edward Manning, December 17, 1987) is a United States Army soldier who was convicted in July 2013 of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after releasing the largest set of classified documents ever leaked to the public. Manning was sentenced in August 2013 to 35 years confinement with the possibility of parole in eight years, and to be dishonorably discharged from the Army. Manning is a trans woman who, in a statement the day after sentencing, said she had felt female since childhood, wanted to be known as Chelsea, and desired to begin hormone replacement therapy. From early life and through much of her Army life, Manning was known as Bradley; she was diagnosed with gender identity disorder while in the Army.

Assigned in 2009 to an Army unit in Iraq as an intelligence analyst, Manning had access to classified databases. In early 2010, she leaked classified information to WikiLeaks and confided this to Adrian Lamo, an online acquaintance. Lamo informed Army Counterintelligence, and Manning was arrested in May that same year. The material included videos of the July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike, and the 2009 Granai airstrike in Afghanistan; 250,000 U.S. diplomatic cables; and 500,000 Army reports that came to be known as the Iraq War logs and Afghan War logs. Much of the material was published by WikiLeaks or its media partners between April and November 2010.

Manning was ultimately charged with 22 offenses, including aiding the enemy, which was the most serious charge and could have resulted in a death sentence. She was held at the Marine Corps Brig, Quantico in Virginia, from July 2010 to April 2011 under Prevention of Injury status—which entailed de facto solitary confinement and other restrictions that caused domestic and international concern—before being transferred to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where she could interact with other detainees. She pleaded guilty in February 2013 to 10 of the charges. The trial on the remaining charges began on June 3, 2013, and on July 30 she was convicted of 17 of the original charges and amended versions of four others, but was acquitted of aiding the enemy. She is serving her sentence at the maximum-security U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth.

Reaction to Manning's disclosures, arrest, and sentence was mixed. Denver Nicks, one of her biographers, writes that the leaked material, particularly the diplomatic cables, was widely seen as a catalyst for the Arab Spring that began in December 2010, and that Manning was viewed as both a 21st-century Tiananmen Square Tank Man and an embittered traitor. Reporters Without Borders condemned the length of the sentence, saying that it demonstrated how vulnerable whistleblowers are.

"My psychedelic experience showed me that in life, there is only "the Moment" (Carpe Diem - Seize the day). Everything, is a moment. All our life, past, future and present, is only a moment (a second). When I went to Amsterdam in 2008 and ate the magic psilocybin mushroom I understood that. I was literally travelling in time (and I know, I felt the last moment on this planet [my eyes fill with tears now, when I recall to you that moment in bed, during the night]. With the eyes closed or opened in the dark, it was just feeling. No hallucinations or fake ideas, just "feeling the rain" knowing how it is to be dead (or on the verge of it): so beautiful, so much peace and happiness, so much understanding on that last moment. It was a moment in 2001 when we became friends, it is a moment know when you read this line, this word, and it will only be a moment when, many years in the future, we will pass on the other side of morning. And remember my friend, my very good friend, not to be afraid then, because I will be there for you, holding your hand, hugging you. What I felt? I felt I was watched, Nature was asking me what was my opinion or solution to life. I knew that when my thin raft will sink, all my energy will become, with the dirt just another mushroom. I understood that those shrooms had all the knowledge from all the people that lived on this planet Earth (at least). I felt again something I too often forget: that life is magic, beautiful, worth living and dying for. I understood that we are manipulated with politics, religion and finance by evil forces just to steal our love, energy and happiness. I knew that calling the magic mushrooms or the cannabis illegal was not only a theft for the life, liberties of the individual and the well being of the human race, but a crime against Mother Nature, against the right of any person, any, to have the chance of understanding WHY is here, living on this Terra Ferma and what could be after. It's only a moment, a split second, one after another, just a frame that make our life movie, but if we stop to observe the spectacle we're in on this theater scene, we notice only a frame, a split second: the Moment. The movie will begin in five moments, the mindless voice announced; all those unseated will await the next show..." - Arturo Find

The World is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round, and it has thrills and chills and is very brightly colored, and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they've begun to question, 'Is this real, or is this just a ride?', and other people have remembered, and they've come back to us and they say 'Hey, don't worry. Don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride.' and we KILL THOSE PEOPLE.

"Shut him up! We have alot invested in this ride! SHUT HIM UP! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account, and my family. This just has to be real."

It's just a ride.

But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that. You ever noticed that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because ... It's just a ride.

And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear wants you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead see all of us as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world right now, to a better ride:

Take all that money we spent on weapons and defense each year and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and WE CAN EXPLORE SPACE, TOGETHER, BOTH INNER AND OUTER, forever ... in peace.

"...the whole system has to go. The modern criminal justice system is incompatible with neuroscience. It simply is not possible to have the two of them in the same room." - Robert Maurice Sapolsky

Throughout his science investigative career, Alan Alda has met with Dr. Sapolsky several times. In this video they discuss what Neuroscience could contribute to the alternatives to incarceration: rehabilitation, therapy, and more. Dr. Sapolksy is well-known for his early work studying primates in Kenya. His current research revolves around stress levels and the relationship with neurodegeneration.

In this extended version, Alan asks Sapolsky his views about free will, morality, and what outside factors could contribute to making a person break the law.
