  1. How would you say the choc habanero varies from your more standard habs? Also where can I find seeds of this Trinidad yellow 7 pot? That sounds awesome!

    Hard to put into words, but probably about par with standard habs heat wise. They just have such a lovely tropical aroma, real scotch bonnet kinda smell if you know it.

    Send me your address and I'll post you some yella 7 seeds gtarman.

  2. It's a toss up between the chocolate habanero and the Trinidad yellow 7 pot for me.

    Chocos have such a nice flavour, they are quite hot, but not too hot.

    Yellow 7s are insanely hot, they hit hard and fast in the front of the mouth, but oh, my, gosh. That tropical passionfruit flavour and aroma. Exquisite.

  3. I think a corner has been turned maybe. It was a huge step forward yesterday, and it's much smaller progressions now.

    The first step should be to lobby for expansion of the medical conditions that are allowed to be prescribed for, rather than only terminal illnesses.

  4. Having been supplied with leaves from 4 different psychotria varieties by the generous member Bardo, I set about trying to propagate them.

    I haven't done leaf propagation before so use the search engine I did.

    Rather than put all my eggs in one basket I tried a few methods to mitigate the risk of failure.

    Approximately half the leaves were "cracked", the other half were left whole. Half of each were planted directly into moist potting medium, the other half were kept in wet paper towel in plastic bags. All were kept in a humidity dome and left in a shady spot outdoors, fate was left to take care of everything else, other than an occasional misting.

    Around 6 weeks later (I didn't note the date, I'm terrible at record keeping!) I can say that the paper towel method wins hands down for speed of rooting.

    100% of the leaves in paper towel have produced roots, barely 10% of the leaves planted directly have roots. The roots look much more vigorous on the towel method leaves too.

    The cracked leaves in paper towel have all shot roots from each crack, none of the cracked leaves which were planted directly have.

    All the paper towel leaves still appear fresh, crisp and green whereas the others have browned and curled around the margins.

    I repotted all the paper towel leaves and switched the others to the superior method.

    If you haven't tried the paper towel propagation method, I recommend you try it and I think you will be impressed.

    The varieties were: viridis, carthagenensis, nexus and shipibo. All varieties responded similarly, there were no significant differences between them.

  5. I think that due to the cost of the tests themselves, and the time taken to perform them, the swab tests are usually more specifically targeted than regular traffic rbts. I would say traffic leaving some of the summertime festivals, for example, would be much more likely to be subjected to such scrutiny rather than the Friday night homeward bound work traffic.

    P's Dog, please pass on my regards to master Pat Uri (pituri?), it is we who are in his debt for sharing his unsurpassed knowledge is such an entertaining way.

  6. Entheogens present a conundrum in this respect. For example, on one of the other forums dedicated to dmt, there is a very strong sentiment that the extracted substance should never be bought or sold. Yet the base materials that it is extracted from are happily bought and sold by the same people that espouse this rule. Where does the distinction really lie?
