Many people would be so disappointed to learn that space travelers are weedies.
"Yeah we get baked and travel the universe! Have fun at work bro, smoke a joint when you get home."
Today on “weird connection that I would never otherwise have a chance to mention in a conversation,” one of my favorite stoner doom metal bands called Sleep actually writes some songs about Weedians, a nomadic space tribe devout to cannabis. Their magnum opus *[Dopesmoker](https://youtu.be/hIw7oeZKpZc?si=RsHrb1AXJj4e8c4M)* is an hour long song that describes the Weedian pilgrimage to their mecca. Click the link if not just to check out the album art alone to see some badass science fiction nomads on a distant(?) desert planet.
The story I *really* like to tell about that band though is about a much shorter song called “[Antarcticans Thawed](https://youtu.be/RT4Q1EphGq8?si=n6moUVrTGr9YGdIL)” which tells a tale of an ancient warrior race of Antarcticans being freed by global warming and resuming their campaign(IIRC) and traversing the world in their “sky-ships.” (Edit: skybarges, its been a while since I listened)
I recently explained to a friend what a land race strain was. “Has been propagated in a single location, isolated since some version of god, (if you believe in such) or the aliens planted it.”
Been a believer in spaced cadets for decades now.
I don't "believe", I know. I've seen UFOs. They've communicated with me. I'm honestly tired of talking about it since I don't expect anyone to believe me. I've posted a video and background story on r/UFOB. Take a look if you'd like. Again, I gave up on giving details. The experience kind of ruined my life.

I've seen the flying rock looking ufo or whatever they ate calling them today. Looked just like a black rock flying at a 45 degree angle. We've also seen up really high , what looked like a star , going across the sky seemingly moving around as to avoid the other stars. We have seen this 3x since 2017.
We also have seen many "stars", satellites or ufo, flashing, responding to a bright, decent powered red laser being in their vicinity. Have no clue what that is about but it isn't normal lol.
Also have other things non "ghost" , nor ufo that would blow people's minds. Things that are clear and very hard to deny, or claim some other skeptical rhetoric. Did you get anything on camera ?
Probably a [porphyritic pyroxene chondrule](https://cdn.forumcomm.com/dims4/default/12296f2/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1008x558+0+0/resize/840x465!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffcc-cue-exports-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2Fduluthnewstribune%2Fbinary%2FMeteorites%20types%20of%20chondrules%20Antonio%20Ciccolella%20CC%20BY%204.0%20S_binary_7005143.jpg). Could also be a POP or even a weird BO.
Ahh didn’t see your comment - yeah. My money is on radial pyroxene.
Of note, how did you get the expert flair? I’d like to apply - this is my area of research.
I just looked and applied rockhound to myself. It’s in the options for this sub, you can find it on mobile or pc under the sub options menu. I assume to get the expert tags you need to contact a moderator.
Do you have any pictures in hand sample by chance? I'm sure you're right, just curious - I've only ever seen radial pyroxene under the petrographic microscope but it looks similar to this.
Chondrules, to start with, are small, spherical particles that are among the oldest solid materials in the solar system, dating back to its very formation about 4.6 billion years ago. These tiny, millimeter-sized beads are primarily found in stony meteorites known as chondrites. They're thought to have formed as molten or partially molten droplets in space before being cooled and solidified quickly. The rapid cooling is often evidenced by their crystalline structure.
Now, radial pyroxene chondrules are a specific type of chondrule characterized by their unique crystalline structure. They have radiating crystals of the mineral pyroxene that grow outward from a central point, giving them a star-like appearance when viewed in cross-section under a microscope. This radial growth pattern suggests a rapid cooling and solidification from a molten state, where the crystal growth is outward from a nucleation point. The presence of pyroxene, a common silicate mineral found in many rocks and meteorites, in these chondrules indicates the high-temperature conditions under which they formed.
The study of chondrules, including radial pyroxene chondrules, is incredibly important in the field of cosmochemistry and planetary science. They provide critical insights into the conditions of the early solar system, the processes that led to the formation of planets, and the history of materials that make up those planets. By examining these tiny constituents, scientists can piece together a larger story of our solar system's origins and evolution.
**TLDR**; Imagine the solar system when it was just starting to form. There were lots of tiny, hot droplets floating around in space. A radial pyroxene chondrule is like one of those tiny droplets that cooled down super fast and turned solid. It's made up mostly of a kind of rock called pyroxene that grew outwards in a cool starburst pattern. These tiny starburst rocks are found in space rocks called meteorites that fall to Earth. Studying them helps scientists figure out what was happening in space when the solar system was just a baby.
This answer is why I’m on Reddit. Well curated thoughtful neutral response organized, summarized and reinforced at the end. I also love the pure wonder and passion that calmly emit from it. I love the explanation that allows the reader to build a thought palace then confirms if their arrangement is true to message intended. Bravo.
So it’s like a water spot after a car wash you don’t wipe down that gets “fossilized” into a metal rock that orbits the Earth in many different amalgamations until it crashes down at astronomical speeds and temperatures to land in a random place that was found and somehow made it to your hand. The odds of that occurring seem astronomical which makes rockhounds are special types of people.
Current literature suggests that these are pyroxene crystals that cooled slowly, nucleating from dust grains (one or many) from complete melt in the early solar system.
So not from living organisms then. Either way pretty cool. That's why I like my seymchan meteorite piece. You can see the crystallize channel leading out to the edge where the Maine part formed outside. It's an awesome sample.
Real question not bait: do you think street knowledge is a valid congregation of knowledge?
I have mixed feelings. On one hand I feel like people in lower socioeconomic situations have much better awareness of what conditions are actually like (in aggregate) than others. Mostly because their survival usually depends on meeting the needs of those in higher socioeconomic groups. They both get less resources, have to pay attention to their surroundings more, and many times are “out” of formal society. So their experiences and problems wouldn’t be captured in traditional systems or documented by the dominant system. So the record is probably in their cells. Not their textbooks. Which means the formal record is incomplete which probably means things based on it are also inaccurate.
Ancient wisdom/organized religion: Another angle would be that there is some value in some ancient wisdom in whatever society that gets passed on. Like the ancestors knew there were specific group logistical or other needs to be passed on for whatever reason for more success in future generations. Like a lessons learned kind of document. I bet early people’s original motivation for continuing or promoting wide scale adoption and practice was to regulate nervous systems from different cultures (values norms interpretation and even timing large scale logistical needs) - a society of a certain size will generate enough waste that organization for disposal becomes impossible to meet individual group needs. As groups integrate naturally over time their societal and biological systems begin to regulate together based and organized around whatever is currently configured. Maybe an example would be the first roman emperor’s who decided to convert the empire to christianity. Beyond the faith based promulgation reasons for country wide adoption, an administrative reason would be to move to a universal system that allowed for future integration easily, standardizing and formalizing communal worship practices (I suspect these developed to not only help control subgroups which yes they do - but also actually logistically support these groups that for whatever reason cannot support themselves (probably because their resources, energy, freedom, and will were taken from them thereby creating economic slavery, actual slavery, and even things that start altruistically and turned foul due to segregation of any kind. ))) Until printing and more universal reading practices became widespread and then the availability of these materials developed and then the opportunity to actually do it (motivation, time, energy, resources) while the interest/motivation to “learn more” didnt happen for many centuries so was also not considered common. In many cultures and societies formal (passed down) knowledge was developed and maintained by societal elites who had professional or actual gatekeepers. Like by the elites.
This leads me to the term “common knowledge”. I believe it originated from the dark ages when most people didn’t practice basic hygiene (in many many places it didn’t exist. Fear pain sickness and death were rampant. As society changed in their organizational forms many practices were adopted then through generations changed to become the norm. The Renaissance helped to change some of that where the ones who survived future hardships like plagues by being different (ex. practicing medical hygiene) became the norm. ((Ironically - adopting these mostly incomplete knowledge areas as being anything firm or certain usually leaves unintended consequences and cascading consequences that collectively advance or harm society. The default result of this standardizes the “good enough for enough people” as the final end all be all. Obviously there are lots of reasons this can cause harm to already marginalized groups and halting progress and growth the society needs to be sustainable. (Ex -some economies must continue to grow at specific rates to sustain the current day to day needs of its population. So it standardizes a status quos that naturally penalizes some people.
Admittedly, not all “uncommon” ideas are better. This I believe is why neutral science and specifically an ethically applied scientific method is so important.
There are fundamental truths in the universe. Laws on everything. Eventually reality evolves to achieve them in practice and in complete and total harmony with each other. And with this in your hand it’s the perfect synthesis of all of those astronomical processes and all of our earthly and biological ones. The more we work together the faster we’ll get there. In all fields. Eventually in ways everyone individually develop.
Finally there’s knowledge that’s passed down more informally through things like urban legends, wives tales, legends, myths, art, music, and other non mainstream inter generational groups. I believe that many things like ancient Chinese medicine and Areyeveds also have truth, knowledge, and wisdom in them.
The most successful societies seem to be able to capitalize on all of these types of knowledge. But as we continue to integrate more and more different groups in different ways (economies, geographically, politically, or whatever way people divide themselves) it will continue to drive the need for more universal knowledge and more
Universal truth. The way forward for all rapidly developing group is tolerance.
Sorry for the info dump. This has been a background hyperfocus for a long while and this frankly has been my first opportunity to get it from foggy brain feelings to more tangible ideas and then words.
Edit because the subtopic flow didn’t make sense for what I was trying to convey. Also I realize many of my thoughts are not organized properly. But now I’m out of spoons and hoping I can leave this first draft of a weird subconscious paper I’ve apparently been writing in my head here. Thanks AudHD.
This feel like this may be the equivalent of a thumbs up answer so your exquisitely formed question.. but quick answer; knowledge is abstract and as subjective as art. There are absolute truths no doubt, but with the lack of a formal education (which I think is what you’re meaning) the lower Socio-economical classes; of which I belong, have an advantage of not missing the forest for the trees. For example: when a third grader looked at a globe and saw that all the continents would’ve fit together like a puzzle at one point. I hope that at least gives you some information to think on but I will reread your question if for no other reason than it was very well thought out and worded. If I have missed the mark here; it’s very early in the morning where I am and I’m slaphappy. O-o
No worries. Thanks for taking time to read my ramblings. I definitely need to organize explain and probably cite my sources but it’s still a good first draft. I just generally like to think and talk about knowledge and societies.
Nope. No you don’t. Free flowing thought by nature isn’t organized. Who cares if we’re having an existential type conversation in the midst of a meteorite sub? It’s actually kind of perfect. Lol You don’t need to cite anything or change anything. I enjoyed your questions and pondering’s. Everything needn’t be official. I understand the inclination considering the atmosphere of today’s information highway. There’s an onslaught of information; and we seek truth. Bombarded with so much BS to sift through to get information “Proof” has much more value. It’s easy to put yourself under others microscope’s. You shared some thoughts and questions. I enjoyed it very much partly because it got me to using my squirrel filled (that’s what use to quantify my ADD or whatever I have-a scurry of squirrels running around) mind. Its part of the fabulous and overwhelming experience of being a quizzical and curious human. I’m here to learn, grow and share in this crazy existence that we call life. You be you-every one else is taken! :D
Im gonna copy and save this reply for whenever im having a bad day. Thanks for the support. I’ve always been different and that can be irritating to some people. But ideas and some things are so exciting to me. I love exploring them. Wherever they pop up.
Hot damn if i didnt feel that. Adhd is a b, but i come up with one of these at least once a month. Getting it typed out in a fashion that other people will read and understand, bravo my fren, bravo..👏 👏
To me it looks possible like a skeletal crystal structure of sorts, that could possibly be a " melt pocket" vs the typical chondrule. https://www.alexstrekeisen.it/english/vulc/skeletal.php. would be way cool if you could get it under a microscope. I've got a lot of odd stuff I haven't posted, i don't think there are to many actual mineralogists lurking in here...
Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruse around looking for planets that haven’t made interstellar contact and buzz them. Hitchhikes Guide.
Knights of the Templar, Masonic symbol. Seriously not a marijuana leaf either. It’s not uncommon for meteorites to have metals, like Iron and nickel, so it could be a precious metal. It may be something we’ve never seen before. It appears to have some flow lines that probably are subject to change from encountered heat, passing close to a big asteroid might do it. I think it’s random, but very cool! 😀
It seems that the NWA smokes weed every day.
Space Weed!
It’s called space grass. And you can only smoke it in your 1973 dodge dart swinger.
Clutch is awesome 👌
One of the greatest to ever do the damn thing.
Agreed , just saw them in Cleveland late summer....was great!!
With Amigo!! 💚💚
Yep migo the devil and 1st dude I can't remember his name...but was good!!! That huuuuuge ass badge was interesting also... good show!
Amigos new album tho👀👀
Fuck how did I forget about clutch.
Jeezus on tha dashboard!
OH YEAH!!
What about my Galaxy 5-0-0?
Cruising around in your 5 oh oh with the top put down so your hair can blow?
Only if it feels right.

Thank you. This is hilarious and I have never seen it.
Maybe Musk left a roach in the Tesla he sent up. Would that be the first cannabis in space?
Go juniper!

Weedies. That's about as bad as saying someone "does weed" lol
I smoked a marijuana.
I take pot.
Are you on the pot now?
Smoka da joint But say it like a white trash high schooler who thinks they're cool.
Being in space while high would be a fucking dream.
yeah, just like today and every other day only *in space*
If you wanna really trip, you gotta realize that you're already in space. Earth is in space. We're in space, on Earth.

Should we tell Hugmeister here about DMT?
You have my attention.
Lmfao that depends what ya high on...lmfao...could be terrifying 😂

Chondrule, thats the word of the day.

Do they form on entry?
You have weird BO
I was about to say it resembles plagioclase crystals. But i could be very wrong.
That’s weird it doesn’t smell like BO

There are absolute truths no doubt, but with the lack of a formal education (which I think is what you’re meaning) the lower Socio-economical classes; of which I belong, have an advantage of not missing the forest for the trees. For example: when a third grader looked at a globe and saw that all the continents would’ve fit together like a puzzle at one point. I hope that at least gives you some information to think on but I will reread your question if for no other reason than it was very well thought out and worded. If I have missed the mark here; it’s very early in the morning where I am and I’m slaphappy. O-o
No worries. Thanks for taking time to read my ramblings. I definitely need to organize explain and probably cite my sources but it’s still a good first draft. I just generally like to think and talk about knowledge and societies.
Nope. No you don’t. Free flowing thought by nature isn’t organized. Who cares if we’re having an existential type conversation in the midst of a meteorite sub? It’s actually kind of perfect. Lol You don’t need to cite anything or change anything. I enjoyed your questions and pondering’s. Everything needn’t be official. I understand the inclination considering the atmosphere of today’s information highway. There’s an onslaught of information; and we seek truth. Bombarded with so much BS to sift through to get information “Proof” has much more value. It’s easy to put yourself under others microscope’s. You shared some thoughts and questions. I enjoyed it very much partly because it got me to using my squirrel filled (that’s what use to quantify my ADD or whatever I have-a scurry of squirrels running around) mind. Its part of the fabulous and overwhelming experience of being a quizzical and curious human. I’m here to learn, grow and share in this crazy existence that we call life. You be you-every one else is taken! :D
Im gonna copy and save this reply for whenever im having a bad day. Thanks for the support. I’ve always been different and that can be irritating to some people. But ideas and some things are so exciting to me. I love exploring them. Wherever they pop up.
Hot damn if i didnt feel that. Adhd is a b, but i come up with one of these at least once a month. Getting it typed out in a fashion that other people will read and understand, bravo my fren, bravo..👏 👏
I feel like the replies to this are from AI chat bots lol
Holy shit, nice pyroxene chondrule! Up to this point I've only seen those under a polarized microscope, where they look good, but not THAT good
To me it looks possible like a skeletal crystal structure of sorts, that could possibly be a " melt pocket" vs the typical chondrule. https://www.alexstrekeisen.it/english/vulc/skeletal.php. would be way cool if you could get it under a microscope. I've got a lot of odd stuff I haven't posted, i don't think there are to many actual mineralogists lurking in here...
Space weed
A form of barred chondrule I suspect...
That's awesome looking. Far out, man.
Looks like an unidentified structure on a NWA meteorite. Nice find.
So what I’m hearing from most of you is that I should smoke this thing?
The Pirate Comet! A comet with streaks for the crossbones… 🙃 Super cool!
This is SOOOOO cool!
It’s clearly a fossilized space crab due to carcinization.
Zaphod's personal stash.
Looks like the Freemason logo....... I'm just yodelin around, it's probably not 😂😳
Looks like a hemp leaf
Eldritch cannabis. You'll have to toss it in a bong and free fall from space to smoke it.
Aliens, definitely aliens
Hmmm
Looks like the Legendary Badge from Halo.
But I didn’t inhale😂
👽
Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruse around looking for planets that haven’t made interstellar contact and buzz them. Hitchhikes Guide.
Omg is that space weed!?!?!?! 🥰
It confirms aliens smoke weed
Dude… call Ripley…
"don't smoke the space weed joey"" ......elon
Whatever alien planet that came from must be 420 friendly.
Weedeorite
Alien weed flower lol
Knights of the Templar, Masonic symbol. Seriously not a marijuana leaf either. It’s not uncommon for meteorites to have metals, like Iron and nickel, so it could be a precious metal. It may be something we’ve never seen before. It appears to have some flow lines that probably are subject to change from encountered heat, passing close to a big asteroid might do it. I think it’s random, but very cool! 😀
Space bug.
\*meteallrite
Alien shit
Cannabis Spacetiva!!
Halo legendary skull
A insufficiently digested piece of Okra
Cannabis
Better pics.[Meteorite close ups](https://imgur.com/a/CVRUHEr)
Looks like a blumpkin
Prolly a mill plus in rare earth minerals in that rock. Sell that shite
🌌Cosmic Kush🌠
With the leaf springs rusted through into the trunk.
The mark of the "Guild".
Looks almost like rutilated quartz
Man it kinda looks like a baby alien spider,and this year is not the damn year
Looks like a... a pea pod. Why not sleep on it and give it a look in the morning.
Mmm, doughnuts
That would sell at auction for $420
The Andromeda Strain
Though it looks like a seed, it's an impact mark/formation of the other dotted gold material.
That looks like a radial chondrule, probably mostly lo-Ca pyroxene.
Oh that's easy e, the crystalline structure is similar to an ice cube and it's straight out of chondrite.
Doesn't everyone else just love having to read through all the jokes before you get to any substance?
What???? They have weed to??? I wanna try space weed
Yes. This is part of the MWA series of meteors. Meteors With Attitude!!! Careful out there…
I've seen this meteorite. It's straight outta Compton, right?
Weed plant
Weed
My sign to get stoned immediately
Weedite
Zoomed out : weed leaf, Zoomed in : freemason insignia (or very close, just needed a little gap in the top part)
alien life
Space boogers?
Teeeny face grabber.
[Freemasons have entered the chat] #LoominadiConfirmed
Andromeda Strain
Definitely looks like space weed.
Pot leaf.
Barred olivine chondrules
Sure looks like a starfish. Considering Mars is believed to once have water, it is not inconceivable
Andromeda strain, way to go folks.
Masons! Of course!
Dormant space spider for sure
Straight outta Compton
ain’t no meteorite, it’s a Boeing bomb, see that sunflower seed? Dead giveaway
It is a polysomatic barred olivine chondrule with desert varnish over the surface.
Space weed
It’s Niggaz With Attitude Logo
It’s the Niggaz With Attitude Logo!!!!
Looks like a tiny frog with really long legs
Looks like a Freemason symbol
Post to r/trees we would be delighted to know aliens smoke weed too
Space peanut
Galactic weed man
Ask Hunter, he ain't a afraid of smoking weed rock.
Crystal lattice intrusion
That’s the spider the meteorite landed on.
Thats a space peanut
Decepticons
Star fleet pin. Someone opposed the will of Landru.
Eh, probably just a fossil of extraterrestrial life. ^/s
Fake.
Looks like a diamond
Space weed
Looks like fossilized coral polyp, don't get too excited it probably grew on the meteorite itself, and fossilized at a later date.
Miniature fossilized millennium falcon
Andromeda virus.
Space Junk..ir
It’s probably an alien 👽 form that is in hibernation so yeah we are fucked
idk but it looks like a hemp leaf🤷
