Kratom for Methadone withdrawal
Flux replied to kindness's topic in Pharmacology, Chemistry & Medicine
Hi Kindness, Having had decades of experience with opiates, including these substitution programs...and being a fan of Kratom, I would say Kratom is going to have a hard time staving off the full withdrawal effect fo methadone at 40mg (depends how long you've been on too..if only a few months you'll have it easy). Kratom will only fill the Mu Opiate receptor (same one that Suboxone works on) but leave the primary Delta opiate receptor still empty and thirsty. I think if you moved to Suboxone (but keep tapering down after stabilising) and then to Kratom the transition would be easier. You'll want Red strains and probably need to dose every hour or two. happy to chat further if that helps,' cheers, Flux -
After a visit to Doorigan on Sunday, I am deeply saddened to report to members here that some ignorant fool has been chopping down trees and stripping bark from this most magnificent species in this sacred place !!! As we all know, this is needless destruction (for so many reasons) - and some of these trees were perhaps only cut down only a week ago (as they still had full flowers on the tips) This is serious damage and angers me to the core !!! I am not sure how to proceed from here, but feel perhaps a post to the DMT NEXUS-Australia page and some other DMT facebook groups might at least educate some people or even better target the ones who did this (or might consider doing it in the future) as we do not want them returning--ever ! It seems they had enough 'information' to be aware this location and species but NOT the fact that bark is not just unnecessary but actually less 'productive' I can only hope the DMT/Courtii spirit taught them a brutally harsh lesson and they will not return ...ever !!!

Come join the Australian Psychedelic Society-Sydney for an afternoon of expert talks on LSD and a screening of the film, The Sunshine Makers as we celebrate 'Bicycle Day' 2019. WHAT IS BICYCLE DAY? Bicycle Day celebrates the first day in which LSD was purposefully ingested - April 19th, 1943. On this day, the chemist, Albert Hoffman ingested what he thought to be a small dose, before riding his bicycle home. Since this day, LSD has forged an influential place in the history of Western culture. SPEAKERS Dr Tom Roberts (via Skype): A veteran of the psychedelic world, Tom is a founding member of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, a cofounder of the Council on Spiritual Practices and the International Transpersonal Association, originated the Rising Researcher conference sessions, and launched the celebration of Bicycle Day. Tom promotes the legal adaptation of psychedelics for multidisciplinary cultural uses, primarily their academic and spiritual implications. He formulated Multistate Theory (2013) coined Singlestate Fallacy, Mindapps, Neurosingularity, Metaintelligence, and Ideagen, and he named and characterised the Entheogen Reformation (2016). Dr Vince Polito: A post doctoral research fellow at Macquarie University, Sydney. Vince will be talking about his recently published study on the effects of microdosing psychedelics. Dr Dean Wright: Cofounder of the APS with a background in Neuroscience and psychology. Dean will be talking about the neuroscientific underpinnings of how LSD alters consciousness. FILM SCREENING: THE SUNSHINE MAKERS is a documentary film following underground chemists Nicholas Sand and Tim Scully who manufactured a massive amount of LSD in the 1960s while staying one step ahead of the law.

☽Footsteps along the Acacial avenue..⚡The Amazing AustralAcacian highway path to WattleB Grove☾
Flux replied to ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ's topic in Australian Native Plants
Loving the pics ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Those Courtii look like Middle brother to me... which seem to have longer narrower phyllodes compared to North brother Also the Floribunda has the thin phyllode form of the domestic species (which are a lot shorter) but also the length of the wild type though (generally longer and broader)...when it flowers the difference is more discernible too- with domestic having shorter yellower flowers and the wild type having longer, whiter and denser flowers. Keep up the spreading of that acacia magic -

hmmmm...ICERS state this: "Iboga thrives naturally in environments with warm temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius, high ambient humidity and partial shade. The plant will survive for at least a few months in low humidity, but it may slow down and stop growing."

Hi Folks, Wondering who our local Sydney mycologists are (amateur, professional or otherwise). The Sydney chapter of Australian Psychedelic Society are looking for someone to speak at an upcoming event to celebrate 920 – Global Magic Mushroom Day. Just a general overview of the Psilocybe species that can be found in NSW, their habitat, identification tips, ecological significance, etc. Please message us directly at the Australian psychedelic Society-Sydney Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/219138845245639/ cheers, Flux

Great little gift from my friend Peter at Shelfrespect Booksellers . It has an extensive listing of many species that I was hitherto unaware of that appear to have similar morphology to those in the 'Longifolia family' that so frequently attract our attention such as; A. Aulacarpa, A. Blakeii, A. Cheelii, A. Dallachiana A. Doratoxylon, A. Glaucescens, A. Orites A. Subtilinervis It may well be the case also, that these names are no longer taxonomically accurate but can anyone tell me more about their tryptamine content?

Flux replied to Flux's topic in Australian Native Plants
Not much info about Acacia Orites which is often referred to as being 'closely related to Acacia Courtii'...and also micro-endemic to NNSW/QLD. Very keen to find out more about this one for obvious reasons -
