• I disagree that cannabis is good for nausea, whilst tripping. Many people I have talked to have only bad things to say about combining cannabis and psychedelics. It is certainly not something that would be advisable for a newcomer who is put off by nausea. If you are habituated to cannabis - then that's 99% alright, but if you are as new to the psychedelic as to cannabis - then I do not recommend it, and instead recommend to lie down and ride out the nausea, or just plain have a spew. Your stomach doesn't usually lie. • Vaginal Administration (Females Only) - lol • And lastly, I notice you haven't written much about having "seemingly negative" experiences. This guide seems to have more of the "abstinence and avoidance" approach to this type of experience. In my experience, I usually achieve transcendence (the full-on spiritual rebirth) with an extremely difficult period prior (although the reverse is not always true). I find that it's best not to run from these difficult experiences, but to instead figure out why you are having them in the first place. It's not very responsible for me to write a quick and nasty guide to these experiences - so I won't. But I strongly believe that they are by far the most beneficial trips that you can experience, and that they are not to be feared. Edit: And great guide otherwise.

here it is i just saw it in the "why's they ban me at the nook" thread post #118 "probably jealous my whole life is ethnobotany. I have enough money to go on expeditions and buy plants all the time and basically do what I love 24/7. Mwahahahaha!" -teotz in regards to teotz's sex, the female charade is pretty weak.. in an earlier post (#114) in that same thread he said in response to mutant "You think I give a rat's ass about what you post, what you think of me or w/e, go ahead, I don't give a shit, oh and fuck you. Is that a threat? fuck me up the ass? or are you just a homo? Prove I've change? Why the fuck would I care or want to prove anything to you? FUCK YOU, got it?" if a male person fucks him in the arse they are a homo? pretty self explanitory.. like i said, none of my business really but i couldn't help myself.. http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=26608&st=100

Are you a female, as your avatar caption states ? Your mannerisms are very male. Do the right thing mate, and either show evidence of shipping, or cough up the cash and refund it.

Teotz, why don't you just refund the money? If you've sent two packages already and they aren't getting through, seems little point in sending a third. Just give them a refund.

to start with there's different types of neat people and messy people. i try to be organised and i think about the best way to do things according to the outcomes that matter to me, eg i try not to touch dirty things on clean things, but part of all that is being efficient not wasteful and one of the outcomes i'm going for is eco friendly, i hate plastics whereas some neat freaks might put everything in a plastic bag. so i try to be organised and part of that is keeping things neat and clean if i have enough energy for it, but that doesn't make me anything like the neat freak described in the quote. i'd say i try to be systematic not neat. i was going to mention the myers-briggs personality system which has four dualities (eg introvert and extrovert) and supposedly everybody has a mild or extreme preference to utilise one of the extremes out of each four dualities eg naturally users introversion instead of extroversion, thinking instead of feeling, perceiving instead of judging and intuition instead of sensing. i'm not sure which, but one of those dualities describes neat vs messy... although maybe it actually describes systematic vs she'll be right bruce

~~~The Shaman's Guide to being a Trip-Sitter~~~ *"Freak-outs", panic attacks, intense anxiety, etc. - Calm them and be reassuring; Explain that the feelings will pass; Steer them clear of crowds, noisy music and bright lights; Put them in a quiet, dim but not completely dark area. If they're hyperventilating (over-breathing) encourage them to relax, and take long, slow, deep breaths. *It is common for many people to experience- Ego-death ??? *Some words of Advice- Always research the substance you plan on ingesting and know all the possible dangers and take the necessary precautions to stay safe. Never mix various types of drugs. This includes mixing psychoactives with medicinal drugs such as pharmaceutical medications, etc. When using a new substance which you have never before used, or a new batch, try a small dose first to see how your body will react, then proceed SLOWLY! NEVER attempt to drive, operate machinery or perform other hazardous acts while under the influence of ANY psychoactive and/or drug. Make your experience as positive as possible by choosing where, when and with who you trip with, this is especially important. Do not trip during times of stress, depression or anger, wait until the time is right for you. Women should NEVER use ANY substances when pregnant and/or lactating or breast feeding. Couples (both the male and the female) should not use any substances while trying to conceive a child. Blatant public intoxication is unacceptable. Drugs are NOT for children (people under 17 years of age). Dosing another human with a drug, chemical or psychoactive without their knowledge and consent is considered a form of assault. Habitual use of ANY substance is considered negative and unhealthy, all psychoactives should be used in moderation. "This will be over very soon, you don't have very long to explore this state of mind." "Anything that arises let it pass, be it euphoria or sorrow, contemplate your existence in this exact moment." “Expect everything, expect nothing. Accept anything.” *Precautions- ??? Take a tester "micro-dose" a few days before doing a true dose with any substance which you have never before ingested in your life to make sure they are no allergic or otherwise adverse effects. Drink plenty of water during the experience. *The Entheogenic Experience- )Intro- Trip-sitter should act as driver and a guide, change the music etc. projecting a soothing presence. Set and setting. )Prepare the area- Whether you go camping or stay home, sit out on a beach or next to the fireplace in your living room, you need to prepare the area. Remove things that bind your to your normal, everyday scope of reality. Clean up your area, remove any clutter or much of anything to get distracted with and caught up in everyday reality. Get some pens, pencils, papers and such so you can draw, or your could ever paint. Have some relaxed enjoyable music. I think one of the best things to do while trippin' is to watch natural, if that's a campfire, or a sunset, some deer of in the distance, clouds, birds, whatever... I always find that very enlightening and comforting. have some food, ready losing all sense of time is very important., so cover all clocks Turn off telephones Burn sense incense, cleanse the area and make it into a holy space )Prepare yourself- Fasting- don't eat 3-7 hours before ingestion, empty stomach Take off your clothes and put this lion cloth on Dunk you in cold water Massage Steam bath Mud bath Clean you up and soap you Shave head Clip finger nails and toenails Tuning Forks Meditation Yoga and stretching Burn Incense Write down a question, have a clear intent Pray- say i am all yours, please don't hurt me, etc. Follow the nessicery diet and fasting period required by the entheogen of your choosing. read plant med. )Ingestion- Methods of Ingestion- Sublingual/Buccal Administration- Absorbed through the mouth. Sublingual literally means "under the tongue". Buccal administration means that the actives are absorbed through the cheek or gums. Oral Administration-Taken by mouth, ingested and absorbed by the stomach and intestines. Rectal Administration- Absorbed through the anus Transmucosal Administration or Insufflation- snorted or Transdermal Administration- Topically applied to the skin or Inhalational or Inspiration- Smoking absorbed by the lungs Drop it in ya eye- This is dangerous and not recommended.

Feel free to post your own pictures here, I will start things off with a few from my garden. Enjoy. Trichocereus pups Trichocereus Peruvianus Monstrose X SS02 TPM X SS02 Lophocereus Schotii Monstrose Trichocereus Bridgesii Trichocereus Cordobensis ?

not that this is any of my business but in the last 6 months or so i remember there being a thread in which teotz was repeatedly boasting about how wealthy he was so he was able to buy so many plants & how great it was being rich... does anyone else remember this?

Ive never seen an obituary or tombstone or reference to anyone famous in history that said 'they were neat and tidy'. That said when I do occassionally get around to doing a big clean, I do feel very satisfied and content afterwards. You need some balance.

Placebo.

binaural recording, soul warming

It's a good idea to never spend the money you were paid for the trade before the trade is complete. Especially if you do lot's of trading and easily lose track of things, that way you are always in a position to refund if all else fails, preserving your reputation. That's the system I use. I'd feel terrible if my customer didn't get what they paid me for and then they had to wait even longer until I was in a position to give them their money back In future this mght be a system you should implement if you're planning on being a long term trader.

I would also like my warn status reduced once Teotz comes good on this trade. REDUCTIONS FOR ALL ! * * May not happen

Yeah this one is in that group too. Big enough to nearly be legit. These guys have also just announced that theyre bringing DubFX to sydney for another party around febuary. That will be hella cool. for those that aint familure with the guy, check out this link

I am sorry to hear this Incognito My opinion is that any one in WA that has plants of any type sent from the east coast does so at their own risk. The person that sends cuttings or plants should not be held responsible for the loss. If you are a West Aussie and are buying or trading with the east coast you must accept the fact you could lose out. All of the risk must be yours and yours only. I always make sure the other party understands that if the package is lost for whatever reason it is my problem. If this is not done there will soon be no one left to trade with other than people in our own state. Cheers Got

the thing i find most surprising is... Teotz is a girl?

u guys love razzing him up!! meh i reckon hes cool. never caused any harm here that ive experienced, asided attracting some attention from some desperate egos. I fuken loved the pics of his tobacco garden. Those plants where literally glowing with health. One thing u cant take from him is that hes an individual, and has an obvious interest and passion for plants and ethnobotany. Hes the type of guy that i could garden with all day. edit- i could also say that he always has a kind word to say as well to newbs and everyone else, and really only lashes out when people stir him up then stand back and mock him. i.e like real cunts.

WOW, All of those plants for free,somebody take those plants!

If you manage NOT to send it to Peru this time, I'll award you with a smiley.

See what trades gone bad can do to a community ?

Yea, that incognito. "She" called Teotz "He"

With you there GoT. Not had one go missing yet, touch wood. If it did though, I'd take it on the chin. You shouldnt feel responsible incog...

condelences to his family firstly my mother said if you dont have anything nice to say you shouldnt say anything at all so i wont
