I'm thrilled that there are more Joe Rogan Experience listeners than I realized.

My favorite parts are the Insider MMA and Comedy talk. You hear stories about these guys that you'd never hear any other way. Some of the guests are truly interesting too. Aubrey Marcus' whole shamanic experience was awesome to hear about...and I ordered Alpha brain after listening.

I ordered alphabrain too. Im a little skeptical but figured it was worth a try. But at the end of the day, we are buying pills that change our brain's chemistry, from the guy who helped design the fleshlight. :D

I'd be very interested to hear how those AlphaBrain pills work out. I would normally think 100% scam, but since it has Rogan's endorsement it makes me really hesitant to call total scam. I have that much respect for the guy. If it's doing good stuff for him, than it's at least a placebo.

The podcasts with Duncan Trussell are a must see for anyone interested in this thread.

I'll definitely let you know how it goes. Listening to Marcus discuss his shaman training and then break down the stuff he's putting into each capsule and how they act/counteract each other really sold me. Trussell is hands down the best guest on the show. He and Rogan work well together and he's always got interesting stories.

Definitely let me know. My plan is to do one in the morning and a second in the afternoon to start. I may go 2 in the morning 1 in the afternoon depending on how it all goes.

I have energy, but I don't feel much different than yesterday. It certainly doesn't jack you up like caffiene. It is 2pm and normally that's the point in the day you get sluggish. Ill have to go a week to give you an accurate review. So far so good, but no drastic effects

I'm not sure how much I believe in HAARP, but I do wonder how many infrastructure projects will get passed now after the earthquake and hurricane.

My alphabrain should have shipped by now. Pretty sure I'll be taking it by the end of next week. I've read some reviews that say the major impact isn't felt until after a few days of beginning taking it but I'm eager to hear from throwback about his experiences so far.

I didnt take any alphabrain over the weekend, but i took 3 pills yesterday morning. didnt really feel much during the day. BUT the dreaming part is definitely true! I already have ridiculous movie like dreams, but this stuff took it to another level! I just woke up from a dream where I was fighting three guys from a mexican drug cartel in some kind of mexican mall. The only weapon I had was a red fire axe. I've never had a more detailed dream than this before. I wont go in all the details but I pretty much killed all three guys with the axe and the weird part was at the end because I could actually taste the blood on my face. I know this all sounds crazy but i think I had this dream because I watched the lastest episode of Breaking Bad, and they are at war with a cartel. In the last season there was a cartel dude that would carry a fire axe around as well. So that explains my creepy dream, lol.

but yes these pills definitely effect your dreams, im still waiting to see if it effects my every day life...

Umm ok? We're talking about a mental focus supplement. And people have been having crazy lucid dreams. Just sharing mine.

Check out The Holmesburg Experiment which involved Philadelphia County inmates who were illegally subjected to medical experiments at the Univ. of Pennsylvania under a Dr. Albert Klingman. Dr. Klingman developed Retin A, a skin enhancing medication. Interestingly, I treated with his son, a dermatologist.

Have the powers that be on this thread discussed and resolved and/or polled the consensus on "global climate change" (i.e. that it's largely man made)? (Or maybe you guys found no need for such a debate/poll b/c we all know that it is.)

I'm pretty sure there have been some discussions that involved it, but not a strict debate or anything. Just pieces of evidence tossed in with majority cosigning that obviously something's going on with it.
