    Frost tolerant Trichocereus?

    It regularly gets below freezing where I live, and it's not an issue at all for trichocereus. They're tough.

    It's been to long advice on spores

    Prints get traded/sold within Australia. My key bit of advice is to never have spores sent from overseas.

    Youtube vids

    I like the violin backing track: Rows of houses, all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out This machine will, will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again Cracked eggs, dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death, can see its beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole Fade out again Fade out again Immerse your soul in love Immerse your soul in love

    Townsville man facing court for growing cacti

    https://outline.com/2j7TbB CONFUSION levels were high as to the legality of cactus plants when a Townsville man was brought before the courts for possessing dangerous drugs. Robert Michael Nakovics faces drug charges relating to cactuses police discovered at his Cranbrook home during a raid on July 2, 2016. Nakovics allegedly had 20 cactus plants growing at the rear of his property, including San Pedro, Peruvian Torch and Bolivian Torch varieties. All three forms of Cactus contain mescaline, a dangerous drug that causes hallucinogenic effects that have been compared to those created by LSD or magic mushroom consumption. Appearing in Townsville Magistrates Court on Friday defence lawyer Brandon Wood of Gun Lawyers said his client would be proceeding by pleading guilty. However, when Mr Wood said the guilty plea would be referring strictly to the possession of the actual cactus plants, with the prosecution not being able to prove Nakovics extracted the mescaline the cactuses, Magistrate Cathy Wadley sought clarification. “There are many varieties (of cactus) that are shown here and they look like common garden varieties,” Mrs Wadley said. “Yes, your honour … there are probably many homes across Townsville … well Australia (with the same plants),” Mr Wood said. Police prosecutor Mark Fenlon said the Drug Misuse Act was somewhat ambiguous when it came to mescaline while Mr Wood said his client was ready to plead guilty on the understanding that possessing any part of the plant that contained mescaline was illegal. Mr Wood referenced section 4 of the Drug Misuse Act which states a dangerous drug means “any part of a plant that is a thing stated in the Drugs Misuse Regulation 1987” (which mescaline is). But Mrs Wadley, who said she had never encountered such a situation before, remained unconvinced. “I can’t imagine that section (of the legislation) applies to possessing mescaline because you are growing a cactus,” Mrs Wadley said. “It’s a very curious topic … is it the prosecution’s position that anyone who owns a cactus including in parks and gardens (is possessing a dangerous drug)? “It’s a very curious matter that probably needs more exploration.” The prosecution and defence have been given extra time to seek clarification through case conferencing. The matter is next due before the courts in March. The Bulletin attempted to get a clear answer off the State Government as to whether or not it was illegal to own certain varieties of cactus. The inquiry was passed through the Department of Justice, Department of Environment and the Queensland Police Service with no one being able to provide a straight forward answer. A QPS spokesman said “the marks on the plant are what’s important … it can be presented as evidence that someone is in possession of the cactus for the mescaline”, but they would not comment further.

Don't try and obscure what's going on. Beguile the judge with the language of Shakespeare.

    Doesn't matter anyway, my little joke won't help you to find it. I'm guessing it's not in Australia at all, or at least not readily available (even here). To get it, you may have to become an expert in identifying, cultivating (smuggling?) liverworts. Apparently Radula perrottetii is fairly similar to r. marginata so there may be a cluster of species with similar properties/profiles.

    Is it ethical to shoot someone in the face with a crossbow to prevent/parry a breach of the peace?

    No. Even if you believe they deserve it, it's not ethical for you to do something that will result in you going to gaol and hurting your loved ones. Work within the law even if that's totally unsatisfying, because the consequences of shooting an arrow into someone's face are much much worse.

    Agara & Ereriba

    This is the first I've herd of it. My only comment is that tbe relvant plants need to be distributed widely outside PNG before any concrete evi of their affe are known :-)
  22. I can't believe I missed this thread as I've been here for many years and look out for these sort of posts. Unfortunately I can't provide any practical advice, but I will suggest you look into the hydroelectric option that someone already mentioned. I've seen hydroelectric generation work on a small scale, and fuck burning fuel for electricity.

    Paul Stamets and the stoned ape theory

    Not a fan of portobello, but I very much like enoki and wood ear mushrooms. Does anyone have advice on the agaratine content/cooking times for enoki in particular? I tend to just dump them raw into hot soups etc before serving, but if a bit of extra cooking is needed to remove harmful compounds I guess I can lie with that....
