Sorry, neither look like acacia whatsoever I'm thinking the yellow one is.... a cassia, possibly cassia fistula. and the white looks like a banksia... you'll get the hang of it soon enough

Frank: From what i have been able to decipher from forgotten sources, https://www.criminology.fsu.edu/journal/hold.html (saliva testing research), http://aunz.siemens.com.au/Healthcare-Detection_DX-Cozart-Drug-Detection-System (the drug testing device), http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/pdfs/legislation/faq_drug_driving.pdf (FAQs) and the one i attached in Post #5, basically the roadside drug tests will specifically pick up the substances THC and Methamphetamines. So MDMA, being a methamphetamine, is picked up, while pseudo, amphetamine and methylphenidate are not. The FAQs link (and in scientific terminology, the research link) above actually answers another commonly asked RDT question: How long after consumed does the drug remain detectable? It is actually a surprising time frame... Tipz: I ran out of time searching for references but i can tell you that chances are, the possession at least would be prohibited. This would be because ... - of the possibility of changing the chemical makeup of the drug when it is extracted (due to impure tech/equipment or unstable drug/additives) - the ph balancers in the pill would have been removed, so it would no longer be an approved medication for ORAL administration (which would directly contradict the prescription). Plus, as a prescription directs the dosage of medication in quantity of units (tablets/capsules), and methods of measurement for milligrams are rarely accurate, one would have a hard time justifying the risk/benefits of extraction to law enforcement. - the extracted drug is no longer visually identifiable as a prescription substance and would arouse major suspicion of intent to sell or misuse a schedule 8 drug (which would not be difficult to prove in court). - as a frequently criticised, heavily guarded schedule 8 drug, there are likely to be specific laws relating to it's preparation and manufacture. Let alone laws for all medications regarding drug alteration, reduction and compounding. If you can find any info or law relating, i would love to read it

I appreciate all the responses so far everyone, These topics are extremely interesting and personal accounts always make for interesting point of views. i just found this in the Australian Guidelines on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) June 2009: 184. People with ADHD should be strongly advised to take their stimulant medication if they are driving. Treatment with MPH improves driving performance for people with ADHD. The use of extended-release stimulants is preferable if the person drives at night. Interesting... 186. The use of a manual transmission over an automatic transmission should be considered for individuals with ADHD. and finally: 14.4 Legal issues regarding driving and medications In most States and Territories in Australia, roadside drug testing has been, or soon will be, introduced. These roadside screening tests are limited to detecting three substances in saliva: tetrahydrocannabinol (TCH), methamphetamine (speed) and MDMA (ecstasy). The potential problem of identifying psychoactive substances that have been prescribed for therapeutic use (including stimulants) has been recognised, and testing will not detect the presence of prescription medications for ADHD.

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8377312 A Darwin man has been given $100,000 compensation after he was wrongly accused of bringing drugs into Australia in shampoo and conditioner bottles. Neil Parry was arrested in June last year at Darwin Airport and charged with trafficking 1.6 kilograms of liquid ecstasy in two bottles of Pantene. After spending three days in jail last year, and having friends' homes searched, Mr Parry was granted bail. Customs later admitted the toiletries contained no illegal drugs andall charges against Mr Parry were dropped. On Monday Mr Parry told ABC Radio he had been given $100,000 in compensation for his ordeal and an apology. "It is not worth it, no," Mr Parry said. "I would rather it never happened," he said. He said most of the money would go towards his legal expenses. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8377312

Here is the actual amendment bill http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/Search/isysquery/191142af-7d08-428f-beae-4832e728ad40/1/doc/CriminalOLAB11Exp.pdf#xml=http://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/Search/isysquery/191142af-7d08-428f-beae-4832e728ad40/1/hilite/ Clause 44 provides that Part 6 amends the Drugs Misuse Act 1986. Clause 45 amends section 4 (Definitions) to insert a new definition of ‘Australian Crime Commission’ and to amend the definition of ‘dangerous drug’ by replacing the phrase at paragraph ©: ‘and that has a substantially similar pharmacological effect’ with the phrase: ‘and that - (i) has a substantially similar pharmacological effect; or (ii) is intended, or apparently intended, to have a substantially similar pharmacological effect’.

Hahaha I am the MASTER of cannulation! Sucks when that happens, did they end up getting an anaesthetist? or Ultrasound? Loooksss mega gnarly! Hope theyve hooked you up with good stuff - oxy and the works. Hope the infection fails and it starts healing up nicely - if it doesnt start healing or if people start coming up to you in gown/gloves without doing a procedure, expect you have a hospital aquired infection. Let me know if you need anything explained, i work in healthcare so i can give you a low down

I havent had my meds today so i spent most of time with my garden just stroking and admiring the new growth on my cacti One pup in particular It has grown quite a bit since then butyou get the gist Apart from that, A bit of weeding and propagating succulents but im putting off this weeks fert until after it rains tonight/tomorrow. Plant wise i did heaps of planting out, fert, repotting and stuff. Got some acacia and bamboo in the ground

Sounds like you went/were about to go septic man! Keep up the abs and you'll be fine, hopefully you didnt/wont get any systemic symptoms. All they best make! Fingers crossed they dont skimp on your pain meds

Obtus has cyanide deriv's in it. I know you mean in general Mycot but for reiteration sake in this topic...

I REEEEALLY wish i was going to EGA. My freeaaking goodness, this literature is wonderfully put together and it just makes me yearn the symposium even more Thank you so much RonnySim

It's pretty interesting that Customs would apply for a civil matter against the party importing. As Customs are part of the Federal Government, it would be understandable to bring criminal charges against the party as they have the immediate means of arrest/prosecution etc. and they can make the case fit their means of attack to attain a conviction based on the party being guilty 'Beyond reasonable doubt." Although with the tightly sealed Criminal Code above, theyve really got 95% of cases in the bag. Civil law however involves a personal action, based on the "Balance of probabilities" for the 'compensation' for wrongs. (Disclaimer - a question, not a statement) So really... If you are found trying to import something and it doesnt have your name on it/you deny it is yours (there is reasonable doubt you may not have requested it). Customs with the funding/assistance of the Fed Gov could still bust in the PARTY's door, take said party's computer/reciepts/credit card statements/family/pets/etc and use that to tilt the 'balance of probabilites' in their favour, throw the party infront of a court (also funded/assisted by the fed gov), and ensure they were properly compensated BY THE PARTY? This then opening the matter of further criminal charges to ensue for their new evidence? Maybe my small knowledge is a bad thing, and should be stopped. Good-luck Alive, and maybe it's not a good idea to tell us if you get it through, for the children.

Thanks mate, our temps have been sitting on around 28-30 too and i just ensured that around a week after sprouting i put them slowly into full sun. Started with them in about 5am-10am sun and over the course of around 2 weeks have moved them up to 5am-4pm full sun. They reaallly shoot off in the full sun Keep up the good work!

Photos Taken Today: My obtusies Planted: Sept '11 Macradenia Planted: Oct '11 Acuminata Planted: July '11

Incredible, awesome, amazing. Imagine the awe of that happening around you. Thanks dosileflynn

Awesome work mate, good to see interest in the old Acacias. Not a popular grow for most due to their old man's grow pace and time taken until mature. Ive got around 10 obtus seedlings coming along nicely, planted in september this year. Have not pushed out mature phyllodes yet though. I have acuminata's that size though. Suprisingly, acacia macrodenia (zig-zag) which was planted last of all my spring acacias has just gone off and in only a month has reached the size of the seedling youve posted above Jonstn. Once again good work with you babies I'll up load a pic of mine over the weekend for comparison.
