    well the property i grew up on and the 15 or so seedlings that had taken off there all went up in smoke recently... but the fire didnt reach the mountain (which is a good thing i guess although there is no fireload up there from what i can tell)

    have heard that it is being harvested mre and more now that it is thriving and i urge ppl to go for more sustainable plants and also if they are visiting the mountain to limit their impact.

    wow... they are some big ass figures ur using there T.

    very interesting and enlightening to see it put in such a way.

    totally agree re 'risk money' and 'luck running out'.. its the whole sustainability thing, those who risked a lot and charged very little do really well in the long run despite doing it tough short term, and those whom have put opther people in the risky seat and sat back to be fat cats always end up getting the bullet in the end. (heheh im going from some of my organised crime/mafia research/interest b.t.w)

    which is why boutique vineyards have always been my favourite .

    always seems the people whom have a passion for quality and are doing it as a labour of love make the best wine, and jam, e.t.c.... (i've always had a bit of a taste for the finer things not to sound too pompous, so have always put energy into quality not quantity... just come have a look at my wine cellar, its pretty minimal but without floating my boat ive cracked some bloody good bottles the past few special occasions) a 1972 hunter river penfolds dry red for the anniversary of a friends passing just recently for instance!

    just curious how u calculated the cost of producing one kg at 30k? (is that including man hours e.t.c?)

    i have heard that the actual cost of production doesnt fall anywhere below 90$ per g... perhaps a little less if using really high yielding plant sources and working on a bulk level... (which is a third of your quote, and i wasnt including pay per hour or 'risk factor') but u know uve probably got a better ear to the ground then me.

    b.t.w. my comment regarding coke and md is that there seems to be a much higher profit margin from supplier to dealer (wldnt know about manufacturing e.t.c)... sure seems most of the money and large scale ops would be in md and coke, and that lsd would be boutique but quite lucrative in comparison (but far more demanding)????

    i was more suggesting the 'entheogenic potential' of dmt over md or coke was a lot more 'valuable'. if ya get me.

    ordeal, egodeath/nde, purge, refreshed/cleansed....

    seems like the usual high dose entheogen experience but condensed time wise and without the visionary aspect.

    great write up twix.... lolz at screwdriver.... "a sapo screwdriver a day... its the ozzy way" heheheh

    i would think in the this instance the guy that got busted would have been carrying 1.4lb of dmt containing plant material, not xtal.

    it is very rare, and as mentioned would require a massive syndicate and a lot of MHRB, not the sort of thing that would be uncovered due to reckless driving/random car search.

    possible the guys had some mhrb and was high on other botanicals or whatever and told them it was dmt???

    there is no mention of what state the 'drug' appeared in. and a quick browse through the nexus reveals that such things def arent the 'norm' in the u.s

    that is pretty much the largest amount of dmt ive ever head of, and unless theres some huge underground dmt revolution going on over there that we havent heard of, (which would be awesome in theory given the social manifestations of widespread lsd use in the 60's)....

    it just seems totally unplausible for that much xtal to be floating around a dudes car. and fo rit to be found without any prior police 'intelligence'. uhemm.

    "Son of a bitch... the stupid fucker was selling extracted DMT."

    thats a quote that deserves a thread of its own... why shouldnt someone re-cover the costs incurred in providing society with a service?? even in doing so (most) people make enough to give away some, sell some at a low cost that covers the base cost, and all the time and energy and risk is basically a 'service'...

    i think i remembered someone somewhere along the lines saying if u were to factor in the time spent from go to woe and the costs involved it would have to be sold straight from the tree at 250$ per g, with the person collecting it from the tree charging a base rate of 10$ an hour for physical labour. this is not the case.

    people do this work most often to their own detriment, despite what is projected...... but i guess profiteeering comes into play when it hits bulk amounts and also when it hits the hands of the dealers who may well be charging 250-300 a g.... i wouldnt know.

    i jsut remember someone coming up to me outraged at a party that someone was selling it for 250$ a g, and i said "sure that sounds expensive, but if thats what he is asking and people are having life changing experiences then hey, whats a g of coke or md sell for these days :rolleyes: "

    personally if ever friends have more then sample bags for me, i.e upwards of 300mgxtal or 1/2g mix then im more then happy to give them 100-150 to have a g sitting in my stash for when the time and people presents itself! (and this is in australia so i would imagine overseas it is a lot rarer and a lot more expensive.... but still jsut as valuable if it is for free or if it is for 250eu)

    watched 'full metal jacket' last night whilst in a very vulnerable psychological state... was quite full on, to consider just how much the 'terror' and such must have evolved and escalated to date. (and then watched blood diamond for extra measure)

    i remember reading somewhere/hearing someone say that the human race is bound to war and conflict, untill there is only one remaining 'tribe'..... is a very confronting reality, we are such a violent/terretorial species..... when/how will it end?

    there should be a hell of a lot of these seedlings around, my partner and i brought back about 10,000 seeds, and torsten was already stocking the seed (back round end of 2005 i think)

    so there should be some 3+ year old plants out there.. i've been really interested in seeing what has come through, should b some good diversity!

    i remember some ppl doing grafting to speed it all up. pics ppl pics!

    transit police always end up with the last few scraps of stale donuts.

    every single one ive encountered has had a authority complex bigger then their chip on their shoulder.. and a gun to match it.

    of all police i would have to say transit police are the worst.. they are given a low ranking job for a reason.

    even if riot police and tactical response are hardcore and merciless, they are good at ther job and often have reason to act like assholes(i.e they or others are 'percieved; to be in danger)

    word. why are people so eager to believe that the DMT beings are real? in some respects i think that's the narrow-minded assumption.

    (FYI i prefer to remain agnostic on the matter, because there's no evidence either way).

    because of the existance of shared hallucinations (not just on dmt but many entheogens), and also the arising of experiences and visions that had no conscious or subconscious 'seed' prior to the experience... btu which later emerge to be a common theme.

    and

    think claiming DMT-visions show us the existence of demons, angels, faeries, succubi, whatever is only going to hinder your cause given the current "materialistic paradigm". (I am assuming you are meaning angels and demons in a literal sense here, and not as some abstract moralistic totems). I'd be surprised if your efforts to be taken seriously were ever rewarded by claiming the injustices of prohibition trespass on your birth right to interact with mythical beings.

    isnt that what religion/spirituality is all about?? reaching higher planes of consciousness and often meeting with entities or getting communications from entities whilst in this enlightened state?

    just for cause of reference im curious as to how many breakthroughs you guys have had?? or if yuo have ever shared a hallucination?(without prompting of course)

    i think this argumentbest ties in with the argument for anti prohibition for all entheogens, and the use of entheogens being a broad based arguement, not substance specific such as legalise pot or legalise dmt e.t.c isnt (i.m.h.o) the best way to go about it.

    legalise the use of pot and dmt for their healing/therapeautic/medicinal qualities... but add cacti and aya and mushrooms and such to the list whilst we are at it and there will be a lot more support and a lot less bullshit!

    RSF 2008, where you there in 08 or 07?

    all a blur :lol:

    more likely 06 (im still yet to get that photo of u and i taking a piss together)

    but dead set that looks like my arms and fringe and eyebrow, and sophs hand and such.. and w were walking round spraying ppl with massive weedernators full of water and yummy essential oils.

    weird!

    Nice lil bridgie :)

    As for pots, try your local rubbish tip for pots of all shapes and sizes for free. Just give them a clean and they are fine in most cases.

    ive scored ute loads of terracotta pots from the dump just by following the guy from a set of lights to see where he was headed with such beautiful old pots.

    just for reference, a bleach wash is reccomended to get rid of any nasties!

    i wholeheartedly agree with you j.. cept i like to call them 'daemons', thus removing any christian connotations, they have been around a lot longer then christ after all ;-)

    however, this missionary zeal must not lead to blind faith or "totally fucking up without even realising it"

    and whilst i see there as being real possibility in the future of entheogens being utilised legally within western spciety, i feel that it is a progressive movement and a jump to the extreme of LEGALIZE DMT NOW, or ACT LIKE DMT IS LEGAL is almost contradictory to the motive/intent.

    even though acting as though u are ur own law maker has worked well for me thus far, i dont know if i could hold onto it if i let it stretch too far :-)

    I saw this comming. Not Catha but something exactly like this. Just a few days ago Rudd blatantly lied to the country to defend an australian allies campaign of mass murder and ethnic cleansing, now insert a few conveniently timed hype stories to distract people before they realize Rudd lied about the gaza massacre being done in self defence (for those that werent paying attention: israel illegally attacked palestine first, breaking the cease fire, hamas begged them to re-establish the cease fire, israels attack continued, and thats when hamas fired a couple rockets, israels terrorist bombings of palestinian schools, universities, and hospitals ensued). When the palestinian death toll passes 1000 (around wednesday or thursday) expect hyped up stories on pedophiles that were busted last month and pharmaceutical companies asking for financial bailouts, maby throw in a little global warming and a US celebrity dumping her boyfriend.

    awesome post!!

    .street drug with some of the somalian refugees maybe. but is ther really that many people growing/using khat? and isnt it about as potent as a good cup of coffee? WTF

    how about the real street drugs, petrol huffing, aborignal populations living in third world conditions???

    This substance exists in an area of grey. I was not aware that it was easy for anyone to access it. This is the result of it being in an area of grey. If this substance is sold commercially it will cease to exist in the grey. The responsibility of the folk (elite few) who draw this substance out of the grey is to ensure that it is utilised within the right context so that it results in positive experience and change for those with whom they share it.

    I wouldn’t trust the government to ensure this substance is used in the right context as they have mis-interpreted the context of every other psychedelic substance to date. The government should leave this substance in the grey where it belongs. Instead they have made it illegal in a deluded attempt to convince everyone that they have control of something that exists in the grey.

    Not everyone is drawn to this substance and one of the reasons for this is because it is not very convenient (having your whole world dissolve before you). It is also not very convenient to access but those that are drawn to it will seek and find.

    seriously, a multi milliondollar film crew couldnt ewven hope to re-create how magick that day was... it was sooo surreal like i was actually still dreaming and had jsut woken up into a dream of immense faerytale beauty.....

    some pixies i know managed to walk around picking mushrooms every second day for a month or two druing peak season, finding around 2kg (dry) over the season with very little efforst.

    soe other pixies then came along and gave tghe dried mushrooms out for free at various pychedelic events..... (dressed as mushrooms nonetheless)

    bellingen had by far and wide he biggest aubensis population, diversity and distribution i have ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

    i remember walking through paddocks in the ewarly morning mist with two gorgeous young commune girls whom were topless and using their dresses as baskets to carry the harvest. (i bizarrly liek i was in some pre 60s flower power/indigo children/psychedelic wonderland documentary)

    there were so man that they had the practice of only ever picking the mushrooms that were bolbous and had only just broken their veil.... giving them a couple of flicks and then splitting the stem four ways over the top of the cap so when they dried they looked like cute little blue starfish/octopus.

    if u cant find a gorgeous young hippy girl or a trashy rave party or a cubensis packed paddock.. then ur not in bello hehehe

    has anyone else been experiemnting with using different characteristics of individal plants, to blend said characteristics for a specifically desired outcome?

    anyone know if this happens in its traditional setting?

    personally i have found that combining multl dfferent strains in different amounts, or even jsut randomy combining them, can be uite rewarding and enjyable... lk a bunch of sentient beings utilising another sentint bng to have a rare 're-union and eldds council'.

    Are you trying to be the Tryptamine king or do you think that god has chosen you to be the "Timothy Leary" of wattles etc..

    this is what i was hinting at earlier re "my claim to fame", but thats where terrence mckenna steps up.

    beng a global key spokesperson for entheogens may create somekind of infamy in the future....(but personally theres so much going on all over the world who nkows if it will be that important an aspect of our current and future history to warrent too larger a mention)

    btw, I'm not really interested in jail, but I am interested in bringing a court case to the high court, in order transform these laws in this country in particular. Like Peru has with ayahuasca, Australia should have with the wattle - I believe.

    And that's a very strong argument, a very strong case which I feel is entirely legitimate. This is very strong alchemy which should be available to people who want it... jail is just antithetical to what it is about in essence, and so I don't see the association apart from these regressive laws which I will likely challenge at some point and WE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THE VALIDITY OF THESE LAWS!

    agree wholeheartedly

    I remember when i first met you and for a while afterwards i was uite intimidated by you and your sense of self certainty seemed to over-ride my ability crticise you when i saw/felt something i didnt agree with.

    Well, that is not an issue with me, as I see it, if I have a strong will... and if you feel unable to communicate with me some things, this is something to look at within you.

    i agree this was my issue, but as also noticed i said "when i first met you". i was using it as an example of how folks whom dont know you that well may well feel a similiar sence of intimidation/dominated energetics.

    What gets me is the lassitude and resignation... and also the cowardice of just covering one's own arse!

    But there is also a great deal of humour implicit in all this...ChickenShit is said provocatively in order to confront these issues, not in a condemnationary way!

    i disagree with this.... if ur ballsing up and doing somethign you really believe with and intend to do so whenever it you feel the need to break the law inthe name of personal freedom and beliefs, whats cowardice about covering ones ass if u intend to do so in the future.

    i think the issue here is that its not just covering ones own ass, its covering the ass of the collective... and i dont know about you, but i have firm commitments to protecting my friends and family from any threats that may be represented by my own personal beliefs and entheogenic activism.

    IF all i had to worry about was my own safety and well being then im sure i would have done some incredibly drastic things over my life, far beyond my involvement with entheogens.... i dont have a personal fear of death or punishment, i have a fear of how my death or sufferring would effect my friends and loved ones (family particularly).
