I think most people who use cannabis habitually are essentially self medicating themselves. ESP adolescents. Society needs to address the cause of this not the symptoms.

My question is, which is worse - Fluoride or cannabis? http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33006&pid=383549&st=0entry383549

Nice area man...

I think this Sucks balls, this is a PrInT for print for edible and microscopy related spore prints only. Maybee try a fertilizer thread?

if i was the judge, naked boobies would win everyday. So i better go for quantity over quality and hope for the win

SOME PROBLEM SOLVERS AND ADVICE REGARDING GROWING POPPIES 　 The biggest problem people encounter trying to grow poppy begins with watering. Most people, as with most seeds plant them and then get out the trusty old watering can. This is a fail to begin with as poppy seeds need a combination of sunlight, water, with a loose growing medium and if either of these three conditions not being met re not being met or other water dispenser pushes the seed deep into the ground. Surface sowing or broadcasting is the way to go. The seeds need light, you should spray with a spray bottle, this is the most succesful method of germinating poppy seeds. Also, planting at about 5 o'clock in the evening can help. Ants absolutely love seeds, especially poppy! I have watched ants taking my seeds as I am planting! Once they come up overwatering is bad. Fast draining soil is important, giving them a decent water to encourage healthy root growth. I use numerous watering cans and spray bottles including a big two and a half litre mister that works by pumping it, building up the pressure sending a lovely mist over a fresh patch of soil or a bunch of pots. Once the seedlings germinate It is best to use a small watering can with a long thin spout allowing one to direct the water exactly where it needs to go . In this way soil is soaked round the seedling encouraging the tap root to move lower. The third watering the soil is soakedsoil is soaked companion in my system is a regular plastic watering can. In this way I conserve water as it is distributed exactly as desired without any wastage at a very low cost, I must add. Transplanting poppies has never been all that successful in my journey but I have heard of a method that sounds like it may have merit. The method that I am talking of is that of planting a bunch of seeds in a pot, container, peat pot, something that can be placed directly into the ground with minimum interference. Keep the medium moist. As poppy likes a well draining, ph. neutral soil nearing acidic there are alot of options. For seedlings soaking the medium in a combination of something like Seasol always scores me healthier looking seedlings. It is worth experimenting as there are an increasing amount of beneficial products coming out all of the time. I have a worm farm so I like to use a very light combination of diluted (very diluted, like 5 times as much as one would normally dilute it for use 10 parts water to one part worm juice so that would be 50 parts water to 1 part worm juice.) Experiment with these amounts but don't go too hard, seeds are packed with a fair amount of proteins to get them started so they don't actually require any help to sprout bar water and light so the nutrients are for the seedling. Seeds are amazing little packages of life! It never ceases to amaze me how the tiniest seeds can grow into the most beautiful, complex expressions of life. Peat pot are possible to us but I find that I nust "loosen" the peat inside or else the peat is too compact and will not let the roots pass through. Loosened, this is entirely different working well, planting numerous seeds so that the seedlings on the oustside will always protect the ones on the inside. My advice, as far as soil mix would be to use chook manure (cow manure is good also,poppies love a soil that is highin phosphorus, any type of manure is good, maybe not mushroom manure because one thing you definitely don't wantis any fungi problems. Fast draining soil is probably the most important factor. You do not want to see water sitting on top of your soil. I found a type of seeds they sell in Bunnings. If you have any soil you are not entirely happy with buy a few packs of soil conditioning seeds. They contain barley, legumes, and a few other types of plants that convert nitrogen from the air intonitrogen for the soil ! This conditions it, creating really good aeration. I am an eco-warrior so I will grow lettuce, let it grow outand then the soil is ready for a plant that needs phosphorus (such as poppy!). When the poppies have grown out their life cyclethe soil is ideal for lettuce, basil, any leaf bearing plants you can think of, virtually! MY GOLDEN RULE : Plant the seeds on top of the gound. If you have to sprinkle some soil across it then it will not harm anything but is not necessary. Poppy seeds need light to germinate. Use a mister, I use a 2 and a half litre super mister that puts out a huge thin mist. You can use a spray bottle, I like themister because I can mist over a large area. Mist the soil until seedlings appear. Once seedlings appearwater them, keeping the soil dampish but not too damp. Water, making sure that the watergoes at leastas deep as taproots and deeper to encourage the taproot to grow. Plant more than you need, that way you can thin out the bigger ones, keeping the more uniform plants.That way you end up being able to grow more. One per foor is the generlally given rule.

Is it far to crass to offer a 30cm rooted Bridgesii "Kai" rooted tip cut for best boobies? That bat flower has me trawling the net for a plant. You have my vote for best plant photo and best boobie photo for sure. Can we have a best boobie comp? Hell y not a best Wang comp? I could put in a healthy large penis cactus for that field.

It's presence is noted in the article I linked. As for oxy being the strongest opioid, I can't help you there. *edit typo

uninstall Google chrome completely (save bookmarks if you like). Download latest version from their website. Re-install. If you still have dramas, download something like Adaware and run a scan and remove your spyware cookies and shit. Maybe try removing your internet cache files from chrome.. Not sure if this site uses java script, but maybe try updating that too. If you don't have a virus scanner, download one (I suggest AVG) for Windows and run a full system scan. If all else fails, use Firefox for a few months lol.

I've had that from since before the crash, so maybe more to do with browser versions or something like that. Too trivial for me to investigate much though as these things come and go with various updates.

well i overheard lots of talk about sharing sausages after dinner at the sydney meet. unhygienic AND gluttonous.

I am going to make it the 21st of October as I am going to Bali for a few weeks and will be back around the 19th if thats sweet with everyone. I have the travel bug atm and got cheap flights to Bali

I'm kinda with everybody on this (I'm not Swiss if you're wondering haha). I think that yeah, there's a chance (although not proven) that it's bad for us. But even if it isn't, it still shouldn't be there. My main gripe is the ethics of it - how the government is applying what is essentially a medical treatment to an entire population without expressed and individual consent. Even if it is for something as benign and boring as "dental health and hygiene", it sets a dangerous and scary precedent.

I recently discovered that the New South Wales Parks and Wildlife Service produced this cool online map. You can hunt for particular species of plants or animals, and you view a map of your chosen area with markers showing where various sightings of the things you are looking for are located. It even shows the exact GPS co-ordinates and the date spotted. I just did a search for Duboisia myoperoides in the Blue Mountains National Park, and there were six sightings. I thought it was a coastal species but it seems to extend inland further than I thought. I reckon it's pretty interesting idea to go and check out plants in the wild - perhaps as a control to see if it matches up to plants we already have in our collection, or just because we would love to see it growing naturally. But, I am a bit concerned that some people might abuse this cool tool. Please do not go out there and cause damage. Just because corporations behave like that, doesn't mean we have to follow in their footsteps. Our ecosystems are fragile and under enough threat as it is without us taking great care of what we have left. I think it might be nice to act a bit pro-actively with this stuff too, perhaps there is information we have on species that could be fed back to the Parks to help them come up with management plans for protecting endangered species.

Yes, absolutely, 100%! I eat meat, but there is certainly a level of cognitive dissonance that I feel because of my ethical beliefs. Test-tube meat would solve this. I think it's unfortunate that there is such political resistance to certain forms of technology, and this sort of thing falls into that category. This is a cause that vegetarians/vegans who choose to be so because of their ethics should promote, but there is often resistance from exactly these people. The number of people who will be convinced to stop eating meat is a very small minority, but the number of people who could be convinced to eat test-tube meat in the long run is an overwhelming majority. There would be people who would not eat it for religious reasons, and there would also be people who choose the 'natural' alternative because they believe it to be superior. But the fact is that, after the initial sense of repulsion that many people will have, most people couldn't care less. Test-tube meat will ultimately be cheaper, so fast food joints will choose it over farmed animals. This will make an enormous difference to our impact on animal lives and climate change. There will be options at the supermarkets, and most of us will choose the cheaper alternative which would be the test-tube meat. At first a lot of people will be suspicious of it, but once we have a generation that has grown up in a world where a lot of meat doesn't come from animals, the resistance to it will gradually disappear. There is a concern that the meat produced will cater to the lowest common denominator, and the quality will therefore be low, but we will have so much more control over the properties of the meat and its nutritional content, that it's possible that we will actually see meat of the highest quality.
