my shoulder hurts, nearly got there haha good point auxin.

I couldn't imagine police coming around just to take a few plants, it's ridiculous that it's scheduled, but even more if they started hassling innocent people.

when i heard if you pick up pieces of the craft, you may get quite sick because of a substance that it is coated in...didn't have a problem with that, but then they went on to say, anyone doing so or taking bits will be proscecuted to the full extent of the law. So the people become ill because of fallen pieces, and they are then charged?, fair enough to an extent if people try to cash in on it, but otherwise its pathetic Yes the government really cares about the health of the society... :confused:

hey auxin, thanks for that, was exactly what i was after. "I'm the lunatic that made pure capsaicin as a spice- dont try that at home." chilli buzz or burn ... now that would give a fair buzz :D [ 01. February 2003, 13:11: Message edited by: gerbil ]

Hi, Does anyone here make their own chilli oil, as dressings etc. Is there a prefered oil to be used, and a certain way to prepare it?, some oils need to be placed in the sun, then filtered, others just stored and filtered. So whats the go with using fresh or dried chilli. Any thoughts on the topic would be great Auxin, you've got some experience here i bet. thanks all, gerbil

erowid.org also has alot of good information, hours and hours of reading

planthelper, thats a pretty good idea, althought knowing me i would burn the house down :D I've been saving for a good heatpad for a while, should have it within the month. Ed, I'm in Melb aswell, weather can be quite a pain in the arse hey, how are the plants doing? CD, nice looking setup whats the temp. sitting around? take care gerbil

thanks for that info planthelper and fractal. Fractal, if all fails, i'll give your method a go, sounds like a good one will let you know what happens gerbil

waterdragon, link worked thanks for that, love those colours.

waterdragon, could you possibly post a picture? would love to see it! take care gerbil

Am interested, i'll email you

hey reville, thanks for the info

thanks alot Torsten was very helpfull! -gerbil

yep all about the US, hope its interesting

Torsten, you've said that the scheduling of substances is not democratic, it may sound ignorant, but yes i am in this part, or else i wouldn't ask the question, how could this be changed? if a move for this is done, maybe less substances will be scheduled? just a thought

gomaos i'm sorry about bringing the topic up again, i feel bad about it, sorry mate. i dont feel you have anything to apologise for though, boredom is more powerful than people realise. but also, you're homebrewing, which is great in a way, at least its thought out and constructive once again, sorry about bringing up the topic gomaos take care man gerbil [This message has been edited by gerbil (edited 09 January 2003).]

Do Anadenanthera colubrina seeds keep well if stored properly? or is there a decrease in alkaloids over time? [This message has been edited by gerbil (edited 08 January 2003).]

hi gomaos, hi everyone well i just read this entire thread, can't believe i missed this one, feel bad about it. well, wow, there are so many things i wish to comment on, but i forgot alot of them, wrote a few down... since it was such a long thread, not sure who the comments came from, but ill just wing it keep in mind this is just me, and my opinions, so, yeah, will be quite different from all others about different thoughts, alchohol has its good feelings at the time, then rapidly declines, even the good feelings are bad and depressing feelins if that makes sense, i've attempted to quit alcohol at the age of 18, and have done so for a while, yet social things make me drink, i really cant have friends unless i drink, pot is frowned upon, and anything else, well...thats another story but now, if i have 2 beers, i feel sick in the stomach, i can't handle it, which i am glad, it makes me stay away from it, kind of like an automatic repel but pot, with the effects side of things, i can control myself, which with alcohol i generally could not, and it makes me feel oh so much better, much better thoughts, alot of creativity, and a better outlook on life, but it has to be respected, and i view that with everything but alcohol i cant seem to have respect, it just doenst work, thats why i hate it. People who live in programmed conciousness are in the way of evolution of freedom, and we, the ones who want to develop ourselves and want the best for humanity, nature and the planet, have to suffer, i.e. anti-drug-laws, being denied work because you live in a hippie-commune etc etc etc. thats always played with my mind, the people that want to make society better are the ones that are outlawed, and are the "freaks, weirdos, junkies", i gave up a few years back, i guess its part of the reason i found a community like SAB, and EB-A, etc part keep in mind! gomaos, how is the book coming along, not that they will really recognise it, but have you considered sendning a copy of it to various government and political parties? i know alcohol will NEVER! be outlawed , but maybe it could shed some light on other subtances? well the last thing i wish to mention, as i've probably made a fool of myself already, is "Funny, i never miss the actual effects of alcohol" YES!, not for one second have i missed the feelings of alcohol, its always been something else, i dont know what it is exactly, maybe an escape? but in no way is it the feeling! take care everyone gerbil [This message has been edited by gerbil (edited 07 January 2003).]

Maybe its US gov. sneaky way of brainwashing, saying "if you do drugs, this will definately happen to you", the effects, not the stardom hehe hmm, im always one for a conspiricy. sad isnt it

Auxin, i think Torsten was referring to forums based internationally, not international forums so to speak take care gerbil

ah yes gwydion you are right, i read it and understood it incorrectly

Now when people hear about salvia, the first thoughts will be of pills, and people generally associate bad things with pills. oh, and salvia was never smoked by the natives to my understanding "Also outlawed was the plant salvia divinorum (salivia divinorum) – a Mexican native chewed or smoked by users for an effect similar to that caused by hallucinogen LSD" similar to LSD? Salvia is a designer drug? hmmm...

The Australian section focus is on duboisia hopwoodii (pituri), stated as probably the longest use of a psychoactive substance in the history of humanity. It talks about the Australian Aborigines, although the section is quite brief, but still great none the less there certainly is a section Is there anyone that has seen, or owns both copies?, could you point out the major updates possibly??

"The main active ingredient, salvinorin A..." , yes, it was updated I havent seen the '92 version, so not sure how much was actually updated, but i'd say there would be a fair bit here and there. have a good one gerbil [This message has been edited by gerbil (edited 19 December 2002).]

Not sure if Mike posts here, hopefully he does, anyway, Mike at the Ethnobotany conference yesterday I remember you saying that Plants Of The Gods doesn't have an australian section which you are interested in. In the revised and expanded edition, there is a section called "Gateway To Dreamtime" Pg 182 Duboisia hopwoodii is talked about here, aswell as various types of ash which was used with it. It's only a little section, but thought you'd be interested anyway. have a good one gerbil
