...rule, the partyers don't pursue the new drugs; they tend to find a potion and stick with it, sometimes until it kills them. Today's popular party drugs are derived from ancient medicinal herbs: marijuana from hemp, cocaine from coca leaf, prescription painkillers from poppies. It's the shamans who aggressively seek out new substances. Recent additions to the U.S. market include ayahuasco, a plant long used in religious ceremonies in Brazil for its mind-manipulating qualities, and Salvia divinorum, a soft-leaved plant native to Mexico that is chewed or smoked for hallucinogenic effects...

Instead, the kettle is put on, some large amount of time passes before it begins to whistle (enough to read at least one good article from the New York Times Magazine), and the pot is filled with real (loose-leaf) tea.

Both? - and the policy-minded starting to think seriously about the election, every earnings report is a tea leaf and every tumble a bargain hunt. The tentative consensus from the CNBC crowd is that with trading volume running higher on the sell-off than on the recovery, this thing may indeed be a bottom, but it's a bottom to be tested and retested in the next days...
