    I know people can be slow. But July 2nd and multiple misleading conversations makes you concerned that he ripping people off.

     

    i only lost 25 dollars but when you start trying to get hundreds of dollars ( as I imagine this loph went for- not sure is $100 is serious) then you should probably be concerned that others are being ripped.

     

    Glad you got what you wanted my man.

    Hey everyone! 

    I hope I get some leniency- as I am bringing up an old thread. 

     

    I had a Pretty big collection that I left to develop ( read as: ignored due to life) that didn’t make it through the floods in Townsville.  That being said, restarting my collection has ignited new vigour! 

     

    Only one loph made it through. But I have some new astrophytums!

    Finally nearly 15 years in the making I have a an Astro caput medusae!

     

     

    more to come!

    For me grafting trichs is to edged.

    They do gorw bigger faster but than stall after they rocket along. I grafted icaro dna's whcih when grafted rocketd but some of the ones i had just in styro boxes are probably taking over now. I would graft a few and get them going (afterall you probably loose as many seedlings to natrual slection as you do from fuialed grafts, and a small say 5 cm peres is all thats needed to get em to kick off. i say graft as many as youc an wiat till they stop and eisther bury the stock (the scion probably has roots of its own buy now.) or degraft cllaoous and seal.

    1. Restrictions need to be placed on plants to prevent peoples stupid actions

    2. Society must foot the bill for others weaknesses ,

    evolution is survival of the fittest in my opinion and those that can not break their own weakness in order to be a productive part society should simply perish and not burden the rest of us with their problems this probably sounds harsh but society would be far more productive and have far less problems if this was the case

    I saee your point but still disagree slightly with your opinoin for the following reasons.

    1) I strongly agree with seat belts as they do save lives. Its a law designed to prveent people form doing stupid things that really only efefct them. Weel i sued to think. It would be nice to live a egocentric kinda world. But we don't our actions hurt others looking at gambling again it estimated that for every problem gambler 10 people are affected. If we look drug addicts not only do they hurt themslevs but tehy hurt others like family spouses and children. they cause crime to pay for fixes etc. its rather simple game theory (or group theory or something>?) for society to function as whole individulas must do whats best for the themsleevs and for the group. Now i nor i guess you would be comfratble with saying your dad is coke addict so you can't get help becuase he punched your teeth in during a argument over his drug money. the rippling effect hurt society as a whole. And they through no fault of there own get hurt and thus society should help.

    I am saying taht these restrictions help society even if they dis empower ceratin individuals (mainly those that would use responsibly) but many people (llok at alschoclics) have certain addictive behaviours that will in almost ceratinty result in a even stronger addiction to what will most likely still be exuberatntly expensive drug (after all its still illegal)

    these laws do go to far, for instance i think cannabis is realtvily safe and non addictive (phsyiologically) so is kava and peyote. But for more instances drugs such cocaine (were lethality of overdose is real possibilty) and super addictivness are things that make it unvaibale.

    sure tahts quite not the argument but i am sure you will see an almost instant spike in cocaine if coke plants are legal. Its a shame that a plant is illegal because of the almost certain deterimental effects of its sequla.

    2/ i think your kinda fence sitting. Society shouldn't pay for drug fucked people becuase its there own fault. what about if a someone went on boat in stromy weather does he not deserve to be rescued freely? after all he went out and its his fault. Sure i don't agree that we should eb forking out for people who smoke themsleves to lung cancer but i do agree that if my mate drinks to mcuh and needs his stomach pumped society should pay for it.

    Its kinda the beuty of socialism you take the good with bad, and help your brother out. because i would like to think that if i stack my motorcycle doing a dnagerous trun in wet weather too fast that i would not expect to pay have my feet stcihed back on or pay to have the drughs even though it was my own fault. i see your point society shouldn't have to pay for people stupid actions but than we kinda live in third world country were if you don't have money youc an rot on the sterrets.

    Also a darwinian apporach to life is good for population dynamics but socialistically its quirte poor. i don't look at cancer pateint with a brca1 mutation and go "mate you should die, your genes are un fit to procreate". yet again its socialism at its finest. I am sure if you or a loved one got sick say with gene mutation to predisopse you to cnacer, you wouldn't say sorry hun, darwinina evolution. your time is up.

    I do and I don't agree with you mark , I think initially we would see some spike in use there's always a part of society that likes to dive head first in to new fashionable trends however I have a pretty darwinistic view of these circumstance those who have a lack of self control and will power fall victim to drug abuse well so what how beneficial were they in the first place if this is the degree of will for self perservation that they show

    Its a matter of making the perscuror of an illegal drug --> legal. I am sure if people could go out and by pure ephedrine, red p and I2 than meth would be a much bigger tyhing than it is. the problem with also is that it is physiolo9gically addictive. So the teenage years spent experiemnting with alchocl will be replaced with an addiction. alchcol is addictive but is not nearly as addictive as cocaine.

    those that are stupid enough to take more cocaine simply cause more is avaialable diserve every ill health effect that comes with personally i would never have any more interest then making the occasional quid I once saw a documerntary about how cocaine was manufactured and its a very nasty process that involves chemnicals I would certainly think twice about b4 putting trace elements of into my body i mean i feel this way about most chemicals but i think knowing several people who have had there sinus passages eaten by the stuff is a major decision factor

    Your right those that abuse drugs deserve every ill helath but the problem wityh that is you and i have to pay for it and feel the ill efefcts. Such longer waiting times for surgery, higher tax's etc. The thing about chemicals is that many people would give a shit about after all they put drugs like xtc in there bodys. or meth. which are made with rather nasty chemcials. The cocaine itself is rather nasty as well as thsoe chemcials don't the sinuses the cocaine it slef does as coaine is a potent vasoconstractor and after porlonged use cuases necrsis of the nasal cavity. Thats why it used in nose surgery to prvent excessive bleeding.

    Basically what it comes down to is i'm sick of suffering stupid laws made to protect stupid fucking people from themselves honestly make the penalties so fucking servere for manufacturer or possession that people are scared shitless to do and at least decriminalise small quanities like 1 or two plants 1 or two plants is certainly not enough to make ones own coke lab n i can't see anyone who grows 1 or 2 plants going out and wasting the time to make small personal amounts of coke especially from what i've seen of the process cocaine cooks have a rather short life expectancy i hear due to the way its made

    Sometimes you need to prtect people from themsleves.

    cociane is easily amde its pretty kcuh a smiple acid base extarction with an oxdiation step (iirc). Its not hard to at least produce crude cocaine. Sure decriminialsition may work like it did with cannabis (which i think is still a decent system). the thing is many people won't stop at one or two and will produce mass amounts. this is ebcause the cocoaine plants will be mcuh more easily availbe becuas ethey are decrimnlaised. Still perhaps a viable idea but one that i doubt will ever happen. I think the resbonsible use of quids is a great idea but one that is out wieghe dby the potentail addictive sequlea of coaine abuse.

    You REALLY think if they made it legal people would try to farm it and extract the... "Pepsi"?!

    I mean come on... that seems like a huge project! An Australian Pepsi farm? :lol:

    I personally think ALL plants should be legal for cultivation in landscaping!

    YES YES I do. Its really not that huge. considering the large scale cannabis farms and seeing as though pepsi fetches a much higher price and grows much shiter soils its probably a viable crop.

    Caus ei take it your arugument is make the plant legal amke the pepsi illegal osrta thing right?

    look at this way. people who don't have aceess to a poke machine are less likily to abuse it. becuas the biggest factor in gambling is availbility. now if there is poke machines everywhere some people will use it responsbily but others won't.

    I would say it would be amtter of fact if the plant is legal than abuse of these drugs will sky rocket. simple supply and demand.

    it will becmae cheaper more people will try it and the addiction begins.

    yes even the native variety thats grows in northern nsw,pfffft fuckin stupid government n ridiculous laws that waste tax payers funds all plants should be legal for personal use what the fuck do they think we are going to grow a plant or two n try n take on the mafias supply chain , the whole concept is fucking ridiculous instead of having a plant in my back yard i can pick a few leaves n make a quid from these wankers that run our country would much prefer i go and fork out a few hundred n fund the activities of some vile underworld fckwit that provides zero benefit to society :BANGHEAD2:

    End rant LMAO

    the only problem with that is if you made it legal those farms would in fact pop up and i am sur eyou would see a dramtic increase in pepsi (man thats fuinny) availabity.

    Not sure if austrlian pepsi has ever come form austrlian sources?
