Its not about advertising its about research into actions and possible applications etc.
All those things you listed are so much more than what you have stated, so very much more, one very basic eg is opiates and its ability and application to provide pain relief.
I doubt prohibition has very much to do with a substances appeal, look at alcohol and tobacco, both are legal but also widely used.
Are you saying those things you listed are boring without prohibition ? surely not

Very nice : )
Is that first one an echinopsis tricho hybrid or a terscheckii type plant ?

That is if you have created no harm or loss to others etc.

The thing is that you are not your name, your name is fictitious made up entity for legal purpose , I think the controllers don't won't people to be entertaining thoughts or thinking the way your thinking, if you go to court and they call your name I wonder if you can just ignore it or just approach with the birth certificate and say there you go lol, I am not that name that is something my parents made up without my permission, I am not that name or paper and don't belong to the crown, I am of the earth, I am an earth dweller and claim right to my own spiritual and physical experience

It has flowered once before, has a beautiful purple/reddish colour, will post a pic when it blooms : )
Would like to cross it with a trich one day when the flower timing works out, last season had a couple of trichos flower but ruby skipped that year no signs of flowers so far on any of the trichos

That's a beauty of a list, been wanting to get into mycology for a while but haven't the time to properly engage in it as of yet.
Anyhow that is a great selection indeed : )

17 hours ago, TheMooseZeus said:The wikipedia page on hopwoodii claims it would stun animals when laced in a watering hole... Seems interesting but im sceptical about the potency
I don't know but i wouldn't be surprised if it works for at least a short time, especially if you make a bit of a rock pool or in still water, they are strong alkaloids and as far as i know it has goodly amounts in it, D. Myoporoides x D. Leichhardtii has up to 7%
I think a good sized bunch crushed a bit and added to the water as fish poison or to stun animals seems fairly plausible

From what i have read myoporoides leaves where used as fish poison

17 hours ago, TheMooseZeus said:Does anyone have any book suggestions for ID'ing native plans as edibles or medicinal?
The main book i go to is Wild food plants of australia by Tim Low, some others i have Bush tucker field guide by Les Hiddins,
The weed forager's handbook by Adam Grubb & Annie Raser-Rowland, Plants of central queensland by Eric Anderson, Australian medicinal plants by E.V Lassak & T. McCarthy and of course the internet is very handy : )

Native plantain
edible leaves, the seeds when wet turn into a jelly/mucilage and used as a traditional herbal cure for constipation.
Apparently when eating the dry seeds they swell in the stomach and add bulk to faeces.
Colonists in NSW made "sago" puddings by adding boiling water and sugar to the seeds

Man that is a cool looking plant, would be great for the garden just to look at : )
Found this info - The plant has been cultivated as a cover crop and soil improver, This species has a symbiotic relationship with certain soil bacteria; these bacteria form nodules on the roots and fix atmospheric nitrogen. Some of this nitrogen is utilized by the growing plant but some can also be used by other plants growing nearby.
Good luck finding it, it is a real stunner. If you find seeds available somewhere let us know : )

I believe this is Cunjevoi - Alocasia macrorrhizos
Wild food plants by Tim Low states The cunjevoi is one of the most dangerously poisonous of australian plants, and children have died from nibbling the leaves and stems.
The rhizomes, though poisonous, are very starchy, and aborigines soaked and baked them to remove the toxin.
Settler Tom Petrie noted that rhizomes were soaked lengthily, pounded, made into cakes and roasted.
According to another report bulbs were scraped, baked, pounded and baked again, the process being repeated 8 or 10 times.
Aborigines no longer harvest this dangerous plant.
Sounds like a pain in the ass for a bit of tucker.
