  1. Wow.  Didn't expect to support much of anything Hanson says, but im with her on this one.  I still think we would all be bettor off as a nation if the just legalised it, or at the very least decrimininalised it.  Average doctor being able to write a script would be a step in the right direction.

    I really do hate listening to politicians tho. The self promotion and the constant blaming the other party gets tired.   Imagine the progress we could make if they put all the bullshit aside and just debated an idea on its merits.

  2. The use of DMT for religious purposes sounds promising, and a step in the right direction...

    But am i the only one worried by the idea of a new schedule (10).

    I mean its an explosive that causes weightloss and lots if nasty side effets, like death and cataracts, so sure, dont sell it over the counter.  But does it really need a new schedule. Isnt s9 already just  plain banned?  What on earth is s10 gojng to be?


  3. PST is really quite dangerous.

    Dont get me wrong, it works in a pinch, but it should be noted that a dosage that works a hundred times might kill you on the hundred and first. You just cant tell how much actives will be on the seeds.

    Its especially bad if someone is trying to use it recreationally.

    A friend almost died doing this. I dare say his dose was a lot more than 500g but he did it a lot before ODing.

    IMO your safer growing the poppies and using them (where legal of course). Sure people die doing that too, but 1) it takes a bit more patience to grow and harvest the poppies, 2) there are more ways to standardize the doseage when you start with the whole lot and 3) if your going to use unrefined opiates may as well get a good dose, rather than a generally mild, but wildly varying dose.

  4. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/mo-flow-moflow-momar-sulfuric-acid-liquid-drain-solvent-acid-x-1L-/191253218475?hash=item2c879484ab:m:mIhCN-UTbtP3MKD_GaI4qdA

    Thats the product i mentioned. Pick up only in sydney, but clearly not that hard to find.

    Like i said its been at most every mitre 10 store ive walked through the plumbing section of.

    You can buy battery acid from auto stores, but they usually want you to buy a battery too.

    You could make it yourself with a bit of effort if you are really worried about buying it, but as far as im aware its not illegal.


  5. Sulfuric can be had easily enough. Mitre 10 carries it as drain cleaner (at least all the ones ive seen do). MO flo. From memory its pretty concerntrated wouldnt be regent grade, but should do the trick.

    As for the question as to whether HCL would work, i have no idea, but if H2SO4 dosent kill the seeds id be tempted to try.... mind you ive seen a vid where germination was increased by almost as much by just taking the seed from a ripe fruit and washing/rubbing off the pulp then drying it out prior to sowing, so i might be tempted to just try that and avoid the chems.

    Im currently having some success taking clones from cuttings of my passionfruit vines... they are just starting to form roots after a couple of weeks. The mint i put in next to it 3 days ago already has nice roots. But if you can find a vine you like i reckon clones are the way to go!

    Edit: had a quick skim of the paper. Shows 86% by soaking in 10% sugar water for a couple of weeks and 76% if you just chuck it in water for 7 days. I like the idea if sugar water, but 5 minutes sure is quicker with the sulfuric.

    I wonder if soaking in diluted seaweed sokution for a while days might work well and promote healthier plants.

  6. Ill take number 8.

    ive prolly been around long enough to have qualified, but i dont post often enough to have felt right about that, seems like Bigred was wanting to reward contributers.

    Ill enter for random newbie prizes tho... daresay im the oldest newbie you'll find.

    cheers!


  7. I recieved the package from stonewolf today. Many thanks!

    Apologies for the innaccuracy of my report, but i couldnt find accurate scales to measure with.

    I used kitchen scales, and weighed 2 teaspoons into a shot glass which barley holds a single shot. Scales showed 3 grams, but I wouldnt have much faith in that being accurate. Volume was about 2/3rds of the shotglass.

    Id eaten about 2 hours prior. No coffee or any other medicines or drugs in my system.

    I transferred the powder to a larger glass and half filled with water, swirled with a spoon and downed it as quickly as possible and repeated till all the powder had been swallowedIts not the wrost taste, but its not one id sip on for pleasure by a long way. Didnt hang around in the mouth as some flavours do tho, and didnt cause any queesiness or anything.

    Effects were mild, at this dose i found it slightly relaxing but not sedating.

    it did show some pain relieving properties. Took about 45 minutes to notice but it was a gradual thing.

    I get back pain from time to time, and I have a cold/flue. Had a headache and muscle pains and the back was fairly stiff and sore (well uncomfortable might be a better description, back pain can be crippling... this was more like Id done a days hard physical work then slept in the wrong position)

    since taking the extract the back pain has pretty well gone. Headache lessened slightly, but id say its more to do with sinus congestion than anything else.

    its now about 5 hours post ingestion. Still feel crappy from the cold but the pain is still much better than it was earlier.

    Looking foward to further tests, shows some potential so far.

    Thanks again to stonewolf.


  8. Respect is key.

    Start by telling em you want to collect edibles. Offer them something for the privilege. Judge the convo from there, but due to liability issues as mentioned probably avoid mentioning anything illegal. Even offer to collect some for them too. Some farmers would be happy to eat some field mushrooms, but don't have the time to go picking themselves.

    I grew up mushroom picking on the neighbors property with my nanna. We grew crops, so the paddocks got ploughed every year, hence no mushrooms on our place. Neighbor up the way ran cattle on pasture and lots of big mushies popped up after the rain. Neighbor was happy for us to go picking, especially when we picked a bucket for him too.

    It was many years before i learned other reasons people might want to pick mushrooms.

    I still hate the smell of cooked mushrooms, but my grandad loved em, so i loved picking them for him. Its a great way to spend a day in the sun. (And if you happen across some special mushies in the process then it'd be a bonus and no one need know any different.)

    Another way might be to ask if you could collect manure for your garden...

    Id say a note in the mailbox would be a better option than driving up to the house. You can get a few dodgy bastards scoping out properties to burgle out on the land, so people can be instantly defensive when stranger appears out of the blue with 'weird' requests... especially if the house is well off the road.

    Even better would be to get introduced first.

    Either way with permission in the daylight is a much safer way to pick. Less likely to get chased (if your lucky) off with high velocity lead or by a pack of dogs.

  9. Not that it will help weigh stuff...

    but wiki says an average flower produces 7mg dry weight of saffron stigmas. 3 stigmas per flower. So 6 should get you close to 14mg dry saffron, maybe just have six and a half.

    Not the answer your after, but maybe help in the short term.

    I remember a thread her years ago about the effects of saffron, i think it was called 'psychoactive saffron' from memory and Torsten put up some intersting info. Let us know how you go, hope it helps :)


  10. Pretty sure small businesses (grossing under 50k a year) dont have to register for or pay GST.

    Another unprofessional opinion tho.

    Ive always preferred to deal in cash so as to avoid any headaches with government.

    Id say it depends on the scale. A market stall could well be the cheapest setup, but depending on the plants your average punter might not pay what they are worth to an enthusiast.

    Setting up a simple webpage is pretty easy. Paypal has some payment solutions that look simple. But then there are records of everything so your back to declaring income.

    I dont use facebook, so can't comment on that. But ive heard it works.

    Could try just listing the plants on gumtree, assuming the trade section here and ebay arent the way you want to go. Gumtree is free to list, so you've got nothing to loose by snapping a pic and sticking a price on it.

  11. Thanks guys.

    A.Leiocalyx looks good for the first lot of pics. I think the subspecies would be .leiocalyx basdd on worldwide wattels page. Sure there is likley the herveyensis subspecies not too far away tho.

    http://www.worldwidewattle.com/speciesgallery/leiocalyx.php

    A.Disparrima looks right for the second pic. Especially when you add i the seedpods as seen in wwwattle. Have a pic it just wou,dnt upload the other day, its now attached below.

    http://www.worldwidewattle.com/speciesgallery/disparrima.php

    The description an pics look bang on to me.

    Thanks alot for everyones help!

  12. Glad your all sorted Incog, but i daresay you are underestimating yourself

    but i managed the nail/shoe and baloon fiasco many years ago while partying with Lucy! ... didnt want to leave my room so i had to make do.

    not saying it was my best plan ever, but it worked... where there is a will there's a way!

    no fun at all if you need more than one buld, but right then thats1 all i needed ;)

    oh to be that young again... fun times!


  13. Love to help Incog, been there, its frustrating....

    a super baloon and an automatic center punch have worked for me. (Hell, so has a baloon a nail and a shoe...but thats another story)

    Improvising is all well and good, but its nothing like having the right tool for the job!

    best of luck with the search.

  14. The listings all say its sourced from Hawaii where its a weed species and gets logged for timber and firewood. There are a lot of vendors selling this, and trunk bark... seems to be an industry; personally i think people buying this would be bettrr than our natives getting harvested, legalitits aside.


  15. Lol all good.

    This acacia ID thing is a lot harder than i thought. Going for a bit of a walk along the roadside that my block back onto there are defintalt two types... if not three.

    The ones the pics all have flowers and no seeds.

    Type 2 has smoother bark, has just about finished flowering, and had seed pods that are all open, different leaves too, same shape and size, but different textutre... lots of secondary veins maybe, still not sure exactly what im looking at. But 100% different trees.

    Possible 3rd type looked much like the first, but had heaps more flowers and the cylinders had a tendency to curl up.

    These pics are of type 2. Im thinking these might be madenii??

    edit: edited the wrong post and lost the pics. Now i getting internal server errors when i try and upload, so we will have to stick with this pic for now

  16. Thanks people :) dont think its melanoxyon, as all the pics i saw of those have the little round pompom flowers, where as these are definitely more the long cylinders? (Not sure of the technical terms) Guess them go to about 5cm long.

    Bark on the mature trees is rough, can see it in the background of second pic, but it seems smooth o the young trees.

    I was thinking longfolia, but others have said no. The floweres dont seem as yellow as pics ive seen tho, generally paler.

    What should I be looking for? To my untrained eye, they look like pics ive seen of longfolia, floribunda, even obtusfolia and others...

    There have been flowers around for a few weeks at least,longer i think some of the flowers look to be finishng to me, some look to be in full swing. But the photos were taken yesterday.

    i noticed what I assumed to be pollen (bright yellow dust) on a patch of my ute tonneua around where a spot of water had pooled and dried yesterday, so the flowers are definitely doing their thing.

    Ill have a hunt around and see if i can see anything else i think might help id them.

  17. There is plenty of trees around here Thunder, when some set seed ill collect you a handful. Havent been here long enough to know when that will be, but with the vast amount of mature trees within a short walk of my back door it wont be a problem :)

    Ill check out floribunda, could well be it.

    Anyone got any ideas on what they might be?

    As said i can take better pictures if it would help, just tell me what you want pics if specifically.

  18. As far as I knew Australia dosent have laws against entrapment. Thats just the states... my thoughts have always been that if you come to the attention of the police and they decide they want to find somethjng to get you with, they will eventually, so if it was a sting type operation, even if you got off on a technicaliy,they would find something eventually.

    Best off avoiding attention :D

  19. I thought you nailed it with cleaver. Itll do most things a knife will, and double as a machete without ruining the blade like it would most kitchen knives, near perfect choice in my mind... glimpses 'utensil' did make me reconsider my priorities for a minute... :D


  20. Are there any other acacias you can use for dye? Reading up on the red dye from a. Confusa got me interested, but i thought it was questionable when i first saw the ebay listings.

    seems to be more than one vendor in aus, and heaps more from OS. Getting the package from withjn australia should be fine unless it is a sting and they catch your dojng something silly.

    Hypoteticlly, lets say it was a sting operation, and when they rocked up you had a big pot or reddish watery muck and a bunch of funky naturally tie dyed tshirts... would you be in a better position form a legal standpoint?

    or would there still be actives in the mush?... which would then bet wet and no doubt weigh more increasing the severity of charges... or even upping the to production as you were engaged in an 'extraction'...

    Or, to out it another way, purely hypothetically, could you do a hot water wash to extract the tannis or whatever it is that dye stuff red, then go ahead with whatever the chemical process is that isolates the alkaloids.


  21. Hi all, attached are some pics of the acacias I have growing all round my block at my new place in Qld. Looking to confirm id. I was thjnking longfolia, maybe obtuse, but i really dont know, they all loom the smae jn the pictures ive seen, and im no expert at plant ids

    im on the Fraser coast, between Harvey bay and Maryborough.

    These all appear to be the same to me, there are a couple of different trees shown. One younger specimen, and one old one that looks sick, and an olde one that still looks to be thriving.

    These are all around the area, and to me look the same as those growing on the side of the bruce highway in this area.

    Any help greatly appreciated. Let me know if better pics, or additional info is needed.
