    Melatonin increases non-REM sleep and makes it easier for you

    to fall asleep. But it has also an interesting rebound effect that gives more frequent and

    vivid dreams. The vividness might even give you a lucid dream.

    The Kava Kava root, a traditional drug from the Polynesian islands, is little known but highly

    recommendable. It is said to take away stress and tension, very mildly tranquilizing while clearing

    and sharpening thoughts. Also told to help dreaming, especially for lucid dreaming exercises.

    From my own experience, it causes a deeper but shorter sleep with more intense dreams.

    The amino acid Tryptophan can be metabolized into Serotonin and Niacin (B-3). Vitamin B-6

    promotes this conversion. Taking Niacin or Nicotine patches will increase the Serotonin

    production. The more Niacin you take, the more Serotonin is produced and more Melatonin is

    metabolized. Calcium and Magnesium promotes Serotonin production as well. Zinc is in every cell

    of the body and is a part of over 200 enzymes, so Zinc supplements may increase REM-sleep, too.

    DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) is a very important B-vitamin. It flows easily through the brain's

    blood barrier, where it is converted into Choline. During REM, Choline is added the coenzyme A

    (Vitamin B-5), and we have Acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter in use during REM.

    5-HTP (5-Hydroxy-TryptoPhan) is a Serotonin precursor that also flows quite easy through the

    brain's blood barrier. It is a good alternative to Melatonin.

    Vitamin C helps metabolizing several amino acids and hormones. It is also important to have

    adequate levels of amino acids. A few important ones are Phenylalanine, Tyrosine, Methionine,

    Cysteine, Serine and Tryptophan.

    Using Tobacco, Alcohol or Coffee prohibits the absorption of necessary vitamins and amino

    acids. Depressants suppress REM sleep, one is Alcohol, but taken in right doses can create a

    rebound effect so that you wake up remembering many vivid dreams. And anti-depressants may

    increase dream recall. Caffeine will make you sleep lighter, will increase your dream recall

    and maybe even give you a lucid dream. Herbs like Valerian, Mugwort, Mullein, Kava Kava,

    Dittany of Crete, St. Johns Wort, Calea Zacatechichi, Salvia Divinorum, Scutellaria Indica,

    Licorice Root, Vervain, Jasmine, Honeysuckle, Datura, Bee Pollen, Catnip, Hops, Scullcap,

    Mimosa, Lavender, Damiana, Withania Somnifera, Passionflower, Chamomile, Cardamom, Gotu Kola,

    Ginkgo Biloba, Ibogaine, Verbena, Rose, Cinnamon, Marigold, Nutmeg, Peppermint, Holly, Yarrow

    and Anise may help you dream more, recall more or even have a Lucid Dream. Make sure you know

    more about these herbs before you use them: some are to be used in pillows, some are to be

    smoked, some are to be used in tea, etc. And finally we have psychedelic drugs like DXM that

    may induce Lucid Dreams. Some of the drugs and herbs can be addictive, and be poisonous if

    taken in too large doses. Crystals and Magnets may also affect your dreams.

     

    Thanks for explaining that to me. I'd like to add that Niacin didn't help my dreams and cause really annoying flushing, however niacinamide caused about a 30/40% increase in REM. Its also being used by harvard geneticist david sinclair to slow down aging. It is a precursor for co-factors NAD(H)and NADP(H) that are important in a variety of cellular pathways that affect skin physiology. NADH and NADPH decrease with age giving rise to the notion that supplementing skin with niacinamide can provide anti-aging benefits. In their reduced forms, NADH and NADPH act as antioxidants that can mitigate oxidative stress associated with intrinsic aging and photoaging. Additionally, niacinamide stimulates keratinocyte differentiation, believed to be a result of increased intracellular NADPH. Niacinamide has broad anti-inflammatory activity. It inhibits nuclear factor kappa B (Nf-kB), reduces production of a variety of inflammatory cytokines, like IL-1 and IL-12, prevents degranulation of mast cells and inhibits leukocyte migration into the skin

    If you're on facebook there's a guy David Styles whom I bought literally hundreds of pereskiopsis from and would highly recommend him to anyone.

     

    I also recommend, friendly guy. I bought peres from him, pere isn't cheap but it grows fast!

    Well, this result is a bit confusing...

     

    https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-25/act-first-jurisdiction-to-legalise-personal-cannabis-use/11530104

     

    The Territory has legalised personal use, but it's still considered a federal offence. All police in Canberra seem to be AFP (Australian Federal Police) who presumably uphold federal law, meaning they'd just as likely arrest and prosecute any users as they would have before the new Territory law was passed.

     

    What's the deal? :unsure:

    Well, from what I read ACT Policing has indicated it understands the position of the ACT Government, and intends to respect it as best as it can. The Chief Police Officer said they would continue to focus less on consumers of cannabis, and more on organised crime pushing large volumes of the drug. He said that the cops arent going to start a campaign of going out and charging everyone with Commonwealth offences... It was also advised that the ACT's laws would provide a defence to anyone charged under Commonwealth law (legal aid im assuming) supposing that even would happen which i bet wouldn't, so long as the officers are well informed.

    Correct me if I am wrong but the way i understand this is that ordering to Canberra would be an offense because the border patrol enforces federal laws and not state laws (even though it is legal to possess seeds as well as 50g within the ACT)

    Looks like it was all thanks to this man (28 year old labour politician Michael Petterson):

    His argument is that it will take the monopoly off big game crims like bikies etc because people can acquire it themselves.

     

    He is unofficially known on the streets as "the sickest white boi in the game":

    Well with the Australian Capital Territory legalizing cannabis recently i don't think it would be an issue if you lived there. Aside from that, its funny how no one has even mentioned australian seed vendors who sell CBD strains of weed (ruderalis crosses that contain usually 15% cbd <1% thc), they are autoflower and finish in ten weeks and can be grown throughout summer (no lighting schedule necessary). A quick google search will reveal them, be aware of sites that claim they ship from australia and then take you to an international (non .com.au) website.

     just a couple weeks back, those two went for over $400 each, interested to hear more about that though 

     

    Why is this so rare? Surely people prefer to propagate long variety?

    Looking at posts on here as well as trichocereus auctions and SAB on facebook it seems like they are as rare as unicorns.

     

    I find short version TBM really ugly. I just want a nice, long, smooth one ;) Why is there none around?

     

    Look how beautiful they are:

     

     

    edit: nvm found my answer "Its a slow grower and they throw very few aeroles (for new pups)... Grafted they throw even less... I've had mine for a few years and i've only managed to propagate it couple of times... " http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46516-wtb-tbm-long-form/&tab=comments#comment-569897

    It is advisable to cure the ends by leaving your cutting lying on its side in a dry, shady (but well lit) place for 2-3 weeks at least. Planting of the cutting is best done when they are actively growing - ie. not in winter. The most professional method is too root your cutting in perlite. This has the added advantage, that the cutting can be placed onto the dry perlite bed as soon as it is cut and can undergo the drying process there. Once the ends are well cured, the cutting can be partly submerged into the perlite in the position desired. Whether you choose to place your cutting sideways or upright is a matter of choice, but I have found that placing it sideways will generally produce a greater number of new shoots. A tip cutting if placed sideways will bend upwards at the tip and may also produce side-shoots. The reason why side rooting is preferable is the fact that more root fibres develop and the plant receives more nutrients in a shorter period of development, which in turn increases the amount of new growth. The cutting and the surrounding perlite should then be watered. Once watering is started the tray or pot should be placed in a full sun position.

     

    My understanding is that in order to send forth roots the plant needs energy for apical cell multiplication. Their energy source is obviously photons, however I think they may be using stored energy for rooting? Someone please correct me on that.

     

    I also recently read on here that keeping harvested columns in darkness for a matter of months can increase alkaloid content within the cactus by nearly double.
