What is cannabinoids receptor?

I believe is all about CB1 & CB2
Located in our brain mainly and allover body in smaller amount. But wouldn't say that is making us to smoking constantly 😜😂😅

Love biographies, preferably music related but will try anything really. Here’s a recent second hand purchase, great read.
The Davis brothers were quite unpleasant and fucking crazy! 😂

All the above are great reads

Black Postcards. Dean Wareham.

All about Galaxie 500 and Shimmydisk.

Playing the Bass with 3 Left Hands is great.

Will Carruthers. All about his time in Spacemen 3.

Great book.

I’ve got that! It is and I love spacemen 3!
I see that the thread has got a few more replies since my last log in.
Thanks for the recommendations, it’ll keep me going while my bust leg heals having broken it in several places after a fall. 👍🏼🤕

Spacemen 3 and the birth of Spiritualized - Erik Morse

Acid for the Children - Flea

Sonic Life - Thurston Moore

Meet Me In The Bathroom - Lizzy Goodman

All good music stuff.

And you will have read A Very Irregular Head - Rob Chapman. About Syd.

Definitive. In my opinion the canon version of the events surrounding him. Everything else is just heresay compared to it. Even the Floyd’s own accounts. They never really knew him.

Got that Syd one, I’ve got half a dozen Syd books including the one he signed not long before he passed. Love Syd as you can tell from my avatar 👍🏼
Those others look tasty though…

Ohhh I’m going to get this love a music bio!! Can highly recommend

Dear boy - keith moon
Doctor ozzy- ozzy osbourne
Thanks a lot mr kibblewhite - Roger Daltery
Inside out - nick mason
Set the night on fire - Robbie Krieger

Got the Moon one, great book. Need to check those others. Ducking love the Doors!

A Bit Of A Blur. Alex James 😂

Bad Vibes - Luke Haines

Looks like I need Polly’s help with my images….

I can highly recommend Cormac McCarthy’s (No Country For Old Men, The Road) Blood Meridian. Read with caution, this book put images in my head, that I cannot erase. However, it’s beautifully written and is considered, one of the greatest novels to come out of America.

Good luck, it took me 3 attempts.

I’ve read it and I found it hard going. It’s a dark book, and like you I had a few nightmares after reading it. Not a book I’d ever re read.

Lanark. Alasdair Gray
Espedair St / The Bridge. Ian Banks
Food of The Gods: Terence McKenna

On the go at the moment.

Anything by Jeff Noon. Especially Vurt and Pollen. Falling out of Cars is also great.

The Neuromancer Trilogy - William Gibson.

DIY- Dreaming in yellow

I love a bit of Raymond Feist. Well, all of his books anyway. Lots of trilogies.

Neal Stephenson has a free similar books. Listened to a few of his recently. I prefer him to Gibson.

Snow Crash is totally seminal

Jeff Noon kicks both Gibson and Stephenson’s arses though

Can you suggest any of his books? I listened to vurt and It wasn’t for me, just didn’t like it

I'll check him out. Thank you.

Warlord chronicles - Bernard Cornwell.

I fucking love the mist born series!

I’m reading the “Night Angel Trilogy” at the moment, if you like mist born, this is something you’ll enjoy 👍

Thank you for the suggestion I will check it out 👍

Cloud Atlas. David Mitchell.

The movie was decent too. If you like the Wachowskis.

Night angel Trilogy

Half way through book 2 in this series, well worth a read👍

Some random reads I’ve enjoyed

Mad world my masters - John Simpson (the news reader bloke)
All of Dom Jolly’s books are good
All james Herriots are Nice easy funny reads are all

Trying to get back into reading a bit more , about to finish dead souls by Gogol then onto Bury my heart at wounded knee by Dee Brown

Really liked this older stuff, I think the last one I read was new... maybe lost symbol or something along those lines... not as impressed.

If you want a real good read, The Girl with the dragon tattoo books are very good 👍

I know it's not finished yet, and I'm still convinced that there's no way he'll ever complete the story in one more book, and if he just released the originally announced trilogy in 4 parts we'd all be happier and he'd make more money. Anyway:

The Kingkiller Chronicle - Patrick Rothfuss

Really love his writing and the rich fantasy world that he creates for Kvothe to inhabit gripped me from the start of the 1st book, The Name Of The Wind. 12 years now since he released book 2. Every time he posts anything on social media he's trolled as hard as George R.R. is, but I gave up on Game Of Thrones years ago, both the books and the TV adaptation, which is a shame as all of his writing is brilliant. It also means that I'll never finish my leather bound collection of A Song Of Ice And Fire...

Ooof another vote for Patrick Rothfuss. The current lady tomato is a big fan and I’ve found fantasy wasn’t my bag……until she made me agree to read name of the wind.

Great stuff!

Have you read The Slow Regard of Silent Things? That was a nice, if short, story focussing on Auri. The writing style seemed quite different too, but an enjoyable expansion. Looking forward to him telling Bast's story in The Narrow Road Between Desires in November. He's expanding the world, and he's interested in telling the stories, so just give us 2 more Kvothe books and give the story the quality of ending that it deserves!

I’ve got to work through the rest, my partner is evangelical about Rothfuss and basically buys the books for anybody’s birthday and 9.5/10 people love it!

Is the latest one due in November? It’s been a long wait!

12 years since the last book in the trilogy! But unfortunately its not book 3 in November, it's another novella like The Slow Regard of Silent Things. As you can imagine people online aren't happy that he isn't spending all of his spare time writing the last book, but I'd imagine he's spent quite a bit of time not writing that book since the last was released.

I never tried the GOT books, I loved the tv series, but felt like reading the books after 8 seasons of tv would be a lot of time to invest.
I’m nearing the end (so far) of Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight trilogy and have “Name of the wind” loaded in my Kindle to start next. 👍

I don't think it's worth reading now. He's made his money with the TV rights and whatever so at his stage in life he's set, so he's never finishing that story. A shame though as the books were (obviously) much richer and with more characters than the TV series, and the plotlines were different nearer the end too.

Have you read any Dragonlance books? The War Of The Lance trilogy is superb (packaged in one book as Chronicles), as is the follow-up trilogy, Legends. The Tales collection is good, if a bit hit or miss, but they kinda lost me after that.

Excellent recommendation, MR 👍. I read the Dragonlance books around 30 years ago (?). Hadn't read in a while and my friend got me back into it with the Legends books. Had a brief fling with D&D when very young and didn't think I'd enjoy the books/world but absolutely loved the character Raistlin. Went back and read the others after (not the best order!) Very enjoyable and I've recently thought about rereading them. Other things I enjoyed back then were Raymond E Feist's 'Riftwar' books (starting with Magician), and Stephen R Donaldson's 'The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant' books. Desperately need to get back into my reading again 👍

Raistlin was definitely my favourite too as there was so much nuance to the character, and the development of the consequences of their search for power. Apparently they're potentially doing something with the Dragonlance IP again, after some legal wrangling with Weiss and Hickman a couple of years ago. Considering how well it could be adapted into a pretty long fantasy series I'm surprised no-one's ever bothered to do it.

Love the earlier Julian May stuff. The Golden Torc etc.

Not tried dragonLance books, not even come across them TBH, but will definitely look into them 👍

They were released in the mid/late '80s and it's all TSR/D&D linked and they're looking at introducing a Dragonlance campaign world for D&D 5e. It's been a rights nightmare for years, and there were issues with the original authors and what was being done with their work. I definitely hope it happens as they created a really rich world in those 6 books in particular, and really make you care for characters with strong storylines. Easily adapted to D&D with a decent DM.

Just finished “The Name Of The Wind” 👍👍 Starting book 2 tonight

That's awesome! You can take your time reading it...

Finished book 2… gutted to discover book 3 after 10 years+ is still not finished.
Excellent read, looking for something new now.👍

I've just reading the short novel he recently released that focuses on Bast, 'The Narrow Road Between Desires'. If he ever releases the 3rd book I'll be amazed. Glad you enjoyed what he has written though, it's well worth anyone's time.

Just started “The Powder Mage” trilogy, it gets good reviews, so here’s hoping 🤞

I'll have to Google that. I also currently have in my 'to read' pile The Dying Earth by Jack Vance, and it's supposed to be what inspired the idea of spell slots and levels for D&D magic users. Had it for years, and have still not read it.

The powder mage didn’t tweak my initial interest so I’ve parked it for now… Started on “ The Lies of Locke Lamora” Gentlemen Bastards series, liking it so far

I’ve just started “The Liveship Traders” trilogy by Robin Hobb, slow to start but gets great reviews, so I’ll stick with it.

Nearing the end of “The Liveship Traders” trilogy…. Well worth a read.
Looking for a new series / trilogy

Into book 3 of “Robin Hobb Tawny man” trilogy which follows on from the “Live ship traders” trilogy…. Probably my least favourite out of the 9 book series.

Nearing the end of book one of “Red Rising” really enjoying it

Hello everyone,
I made a topic with up-to-date, non-KYC, anonymous options to purchase Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Hopefully this can help a few people purchase crypto with less hassle.

SOTL

Seems I can only buy £100 at a time now on coin base….wtf ! If there is more of a crackdown , whats the alternative…..if we can’t use BTC?…what is LB going to do to deal with these changing times

Try to make a purchase and ur limit willl increase (just don’t fully put the payment threw)

Seems to not be the case anymore. Coin base is working for me for the time being

I use revolut as my only bank account. no need for a physical bank account,because i have a mastercard with them,all my earnings are paid into revolut,and did not need any photo id.I buy my bitcoins from them and then transfer them to my exodus wallet.fees are really low also :)

Is Exodus an Apple only product? Not seeing it in Play Store.

Possibly just blind

Do I need to send to a wallet with Revolut? I've just opened an acc just to buy btc 🙃. Can I send straight to vendor?

I’ve done same w/ Coinbase - bought bc & sent straight to vendor. I do have a Coinomi wallet but haven’t used in ages. Only concern is I haven’t submitted a wallet address in case of dispute/refund. Don’t know where to do that, I’m little new to LB/Transaxe & unfamiliar w/ the proper process. Any advice from others would be appreciated

never send straight to vendor, get a bitcoin wallet

Why? Does anyone official actually care about 2dbp? Unless it large selling qualities

yeah your bank!

Why should I not send straight to the vendor

I have a wallet with coinbase can I us this to send bitcoin to vendors on lb

I use coinbase with no issues whatsoever

Yes I normally use coinbase to send to sellers

I use it ... it works but transactions are traceable back to me ... so not anonymous.

Anything other than blockchain, right bunch of pisstakers they are

They've stopped allowing BTC purchases from the UK

Does anyone use Paxful? theres sellers who want paypal as payment method and i'm wondering if its legit? the exchange rate is 99% on some offers that would save me a lot of money as i have no ID and being using coincoupon at £15 fees for each buy!

Yeah paxful is good to buy from just buy from sellers with lots of good reviews as some want more money than you sent nd agreed upon but it is overall good

It's a danger zone for sure but a very strong rep helps, take it slow

Btw. Ive been using the plain blockchain wallet for two years without any issues. Least hassle wallet Ive seen! And since I wont upgrade my OS on my mac its one of the few I can actually use. Just sayin, cause Ive seen how it is hated upon on the net. Guess its the competition that spread this lie.

When I try pay from my wallet its asking for a fee ,not letting me .tried all options. Any help appreciated

How much do you have in your wallet?….if it’s less than the total with fees it could throw up an error🤔

I didn't have enough in the wallet. Sorted it .thanks

Cool😎….hope you enjoy your order👍

Which bitcoin site to use

Exchanges still cant beat the price of btc I get on localbitcoinsdotcom. The only hassle is I need to order btc and go to my local national financial agency and pay a money transfer slip with cash. Thats not a prob tho, cause the teller is a very nice looking woman :P And btc is in my wallet in 3-6 hours after I pay.

Can I ask, does 'local national financial agency' roughly translate to the Union in the West or something similar?

It will depend on which country you are in. Look for the bank that is managing the most business in your region...

Seen this on one of the other platforms not sure if 100% correct but I would be wary of coinbase they are very intrusive closed my account a few months ago. They give details to HRMC depending on whether you’ve spent over the threshold limit.

Bustards charged me 35 dollars fee for sending. Was under pressure so had to accept. Good shout though

Closed my account last week too.

What do you use now? Cos this is ruining it for me right jow

Allrite I use bitpanda now so far so good no problems.

Does anyone use the app Bitcoin.com ?

Can someone help me. I’m struggling like mad, iv had my ID rejected at two different exchanges now. All I’m trying to do is order

I have the exact same problem, I open an account and send ID for verification but after days of waiting I get rejected. Really need to buy of LB but can not get around the BTC issue

Finally just got message from.coinbase that I am now verified, will try first top up in morning as I think fees should be less. Then Will make my first purchase of a Oz of hash from lb

Just gone to pay for an order and Bittylicious will only let me buy a MINIMUM of £100 worth of BTC. Anyone else experiencing this? I'm fully registered and have purchased before!

Yes it’s for everyone, it’s because Bitcoin fees are through the roof at the mo and they are trying to negate the effects. They peaked Tues and seem to be dropping but not yet close to what everyone is used to - I expect it will be several days at least until they remove the restrictions

Can you use binance to pay sellers?

You can, however the network fee for BTC is currently £21.... 😔

Given BTC has gone stratospheric then how might this woman go about buying goodies for Xmas?

Ok so I want to buy Bitcoin I’m in the uk cex.io seems to say I still can and there’s money in my wallet but it won’t allow me to make payment with any method… is this because I’m in the uk? And is Paybis going to be any better if I open an account and does anyone have any idea if I can move what I have in the vex account over? Sorry but doing it the first time was hard and now I just don’t really understand the problem!

It’s not really a case of “putting up with it”. Many Biggas will be using other methods and the rates of sales on here must have plummeted. Transaxe.com is clearly a btc only payment processor and is required for the functionality of this site. Until/unless LB Admin contract a new service provider then nothing can or will change….

I feel you. I wanted to order a 3.5 to test a different strain from my usual vendor as the strain I've been smoking has run out. Due to the high fees I can't! Your right this is ridiculous BTC is the only crypto you can use

I think it will delete after a certain amount of time.

The non kyc exchanges are looking for 130usd or thereabouts for a fee.
The worst is the 3rd party payment handlers elsewhere accept other crytpo etc. Just LB stuck in the past. If fee's stay abnormally high this will push vendors elsewhere to operate.

Select BTC and press the three dots at the top then "Withdraw" I transfer from Kraken to Exodus then to LB from Exodus.

I wish I could remember to help you out but I’ve been banned (don’t send straight to the address given :p)

Thanks still. What do you with not sending straight to the address tho?

If you send straight from Kraken/Coinbase and others direct to the wallet on your order page you can be banned from the app if that wallet was flagged.

You can avoid this by sending the funds to your own wallet first, and then to the order wallet. Look for a withdraw or transfer option in Kraken - it should then ask you for the address to transfer to, you'll find this in your new wallet app usually by clicking "deposit".

I've had no issues sending from Luno or Exodus wallets, and had no issues sending funds direct from Paybis.

How do I have my own wallet tho?

You can get apps for wallets on your phone like Exodus or Luno. There's many options though if you google aroun, not had any issues with these two myself

Thanks man

Agreed send it to your own wallet first.
