  1. Mine drops leaves every year and I give it a prune, then it starts again. But I'm in Sydney which is probably the southern limit it will grow in. 

    If you're west of Brisbane you might be getting weather cool enough to trigger the same?

  2. Mystique our majesty, Goddess unwind

    Mystique of mind reveal, Mystique of mind

    Mystique our majesty, Goddess unwind

    Mystique my reveal

     

    Match the eyes of the dragon

    Catch the flames of breath

    Hypnotize reality

    And join in with the rest

    Chase the hunted magic

    And pray to its commands

    You think youre winning?

    flight control to OD land

    Bite the heart of the arrow

    Forget the purpose life

    Breaking the vein

    Injecting the knife

    Eagle eyes the challenge

    Regurgitating feast

    Yourself alive in mind

    And she'll joins the deceased

     

    You can take all

    Reach your hand right out and sin

    Don't mistake it

     

    Kick the womb of the serpent

    Announce the arctic fowl

    No mans dog

    but when he's gone you feel him growl

    Heat the the bowl of the chalice

    Release the virgins soul

    Every scent of innocence forever growing old

     

    Who awaits all

    Crawls through the pores of your skin

    Don't debate it

     

    Mystique to those unknown

    While all the mists arise

    Death deals in danger

    Take a look at your surprise

    Mystique our majesty collected in my mind

    Hell bent for mystery

    Goddess reveal unwind

    It's curious that the ABC made no effort to disguise the car licence plate number, standard journalistic practice as far as I'm aware (a professional courtesy in the interests of personal privacy). That didn't bode well, in terms of journalistic intent. 

    Not sure why they would need to, seeing as Julian is, and has always been out in the open, so there is no need to disguise his identity. It's not like they blurred his face either...

    I sowed a bunch of chilli seeds (3 types: birds-eye, flying saucers, habanero) + carrots + lettuce and painted mountain corn. 

     

    Also repaired the edge of the front lawn the postman has been driving over (to save himself from taking a single step out of his buggy :rolleyes:) and also the nature strip where the council pickup guys figured it was ok to back up their 4.5 tonne truck after weeks of rain. 

     

    Planted a small fat (unnamed - ahem @Glaukus) peru in a spot that got smashed by two big pachs that toppled over recently.

    Very good to see predatory behaviour exposed imo. That couple who abused that woman should be drawn and quartered, to do that to someone who is in pain and trusted them is atrocious.

    I think that Julian does push the boundaries, setting up a cactus session specifically for tv and charging $170/head for it, not sure what that was meant to achieve? A lot of commentary on Facebook about it today, seems his interview was chopped up to show the side the journo wanted to show to suit her theme of “drugs are bad” 

    Perhaps he has misbehaved, but her “evidence” was based on one Facebook post, by him, 5 years ago. GTFO, tabloid trash journalism. 

    WWA say they’re not in it for the Ching Ching. I call bullshit.

     

    Sad that Wile. E felt the need to leave. I really dig that dude

     

     

    Wile-e's still around if you know where to look.

    If I knew JP was taking people on cactus walks in the bush literally 5 minutes from my house I could have shown them much better spots!

  6. Rifat is the one that was cloned and spread around a while back. There are a lot of others coming out and about now but they seem to be much less cold hardy. 

    It might be due to growing conditions and cooler climate, but Rifat seems to need at least double the amount of leaf compared to powder sourced from SE Asia. Maybe grown in the tropics it might be comparable?


  7. I did feel a bit sorry for Vic being character assassinated like that.

    Julian has always been out and proud about his activities, and seems to thrive on controversy. I have no information about the claims made about him. Love him or not, he's been a staunch supporter of the DIY approach and it would be a shame if his legacy is one of bad behaviour. Even once is too many times if true, which it might not be, although he seemed to admit there might be some truth in it.

    The problem is not the drug use the problem is their mental health - they use drugs to cope with their mental health - however, as far as the department is concerned both are "problems" - hey a few years ago the department wanted to institute a heterosexuality test. But could not get it past the discrimination laws.

    What the actual fuck?  Heterosexual test?

    I feel like I've slipped into an alternative 1950s red peril paranoia timeline somewhere along this thread!

    I can see why you have anxiety if that's the kind of workplace you're in!

    Holy shit, I used to work at a company where it was an exception to be hetero and nobody batted an eyelid when someone turned up to work in full drag regalia! And that was 25 years ago!


  9. The funny thing is a 1/4 of the staff are drug/alcohol dependent and we have had two suicides in the last 4 years. Several staff members use cannabis/MDMA/LSD/heroin regularly. But they hide their problems well so fly under the department’s radar.

     

    Interesting to hear the sort of rhetoric I hear from the "drugs are bad" lobby...

    Does using drugs like cannabis/MDMA/LSD regularly mean you have a "problem"? I agree that regular Heroin use is likely to lead to problems, yet I do know people who have managed their use for 30+ years and led productive lives but that's probably an exception to the rule. However, I myself have used the other substances mentioned for 30+ years and I certainly don't consider it to be a problem.

    Language is a trap, words can form realities. Be careful of the language you use...

    High stress lifestyle. I love my kava and like to get well soothed once I get got the chores out the way.

     

    But yeah 25g is a god starting point for good Vanuatu kava. For anti-anxiety fx. Have consumed 150g (having prepared some for a friend who did not make it so drank there's too) without nausea or other side effects. Where with lower grade commercial Fiji kava, a mild nausea begins at doses over 50g, especially until a meal is consumed. The last Tongan kava I tried was bad with strong nausea at 50g. Smelt very stale. Have had good Tongan a decade or so back though. Some Fiji can be cut with flour so that could have been a factor there. Be good to have a test for this. I am yet to try Fiji kava that is as clean as the Vanuatu but there kava should in theory be good if you can get it fresh enough / early enough in the supply chain. Good Fiji waka can drink 100g without side effects.

    You can do an acetone test to check that your kava is a noble variety not a tudei, mix about 10g of powder with 30ml of acetone. Good noble will make the solution turn yellow, whereas tudei will be a much redder colour. Not sure how you'd test for other adulterants though.

    I've been noticing even at 40g I feel aftereffects the next day, I'm a bit sluggish. You must have a stronger stomach than me, I'd be feeling ill if I had 100g!

    Mulungu (Erythruna mulungu) can turn off anxiety almost instantly. Start low 1-2g to test strength of brew as potency varies exceptionally. Have had batches where up to 25g used for nothing more than an anti-anxiety effect, while have had batch where 10g brew resulted in tunnel vision and weird dissociative effect, so intense the day had to be surrendered to the experiment. Happened to 2 of us so not just me. Felt like a cross between DXM and a migraine headache without the pain.  Very strange and unexpected effect.

     

    Vanuatu kava is my daily relaxer. 100g mix of Palarasul and Bir kar strains @ 4pm on empty stomach. Use a stick blender to thrash it in luke warm water and strain through tea towel and nylon cloth. For those prone to paranoia or anxiety from weed this is the time to blaze it if ya got it. The kava will eliminate that issue for you.

     

    Remember anxiety is anticipating the future while depression is reminiscing the past, so connect with the present can help. Kava is great here. Mix your brew and then drink it in a nice spot as close to nature as you can get and try to stay in the moment and connect with the now.

    100g of kava is quite a lot, especially if that's your daily routine!

    I've been getting nicely relaxed on 25-40g of the borogu Waka, but it feels like it's lacking some of the euphoric qualities of the old stuff I used to buy, so I'm hunting for a good heady variety now. 

    I add a little coconut milk to the water as the kavalactones are oil soluble, and the added benefit is the taste is greatly improved.
