People should (in my opinion) consider contacting their Federal MP's and Senators to voice support for this. It isn't perfect, but it's an important step. Edit: maybe hold off on getting too enthusiastic (as I did, sorry) until we see some details.

I'm getting confused with all the different types of "synthetic" cannabis out there

moved a 15w led from the rfb to the cacterie

.tried to upload a picture of my balls but got...Error THIS FILE WAS TOO BIG TO UPLOAD.

Another nice plump one, Bogan x master b scop. Cheers master for the pollen! Pollenated 27/12/15

Lacquerhead knows but one desire; Lacquerhead sets his skull on fire! I used to have this taped off the radio, played it so much even my mum knew the lyrics and sang along a bit (she's a big dag).

So I wrote his long ass topic but my machine froze before I pressed "post", so I'll retype this way shorter. I grafted 4 clones twice, once to a "big" rootstock (~40-50 cm) and the other to a shorter stock (~10-20 cm). The three clones are: eileen, a peruvianus, an open-pollinated huanucoensis, and Eulychnia castanea. The rootstock is Stenocereus (I might have 2 different species, I don't know). Open-pollinated huanucoensis seedling: On a short stock (the scion was a midpiece of the seedling) On a big stock (the tip of the seedling) eileen (both grafts were tips) On a short stock On a big stock Peruvianus (this one http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41662) On a short stock (tip graft) On a big stock (midpiece cut in half) Eulychnia castanea On a short stock On a big stock As seen in the pics, scions of the same clone on bigger rootstock display more mature characteristics, in rib and areol formation, spine thickness and density than those that are grafted on shorter rootstock. With minor changes this could've been a scientific experiment, but it all happened by pure chance. That's why there are a lot of variables that I didn't stabilize. Anyway, this could be preliminary evidence that rootstock size does really matter.

That's the million dollar question. This is the root behind so much of the unnecessary bullshit in our society. Feeling good is often frowned upon unless society has deemed the chosen method productive or in their interest (They make a profit). It's OK fo people to take antidepressants (enough for them to return to work as a good silent citizen), but not have a quiet smoko or a cuddly mung. Alcohol's apparently fine because it's not like alcohol is likely to make the average person think about the status quo and wonder if maybe the bullshit work they're doing to pay off the mortgage/big TV isn't worth dying stressed and broke? If I want to while away my time mushing on in a forest, what's the big friggin' deal? Why must a person be "productive" in order to be a satisfactory human being?

Recreational use IS medicinal use. If I use a drug to reduce my stress, bolster my immune response and lift my mood is that medicinal? Or do I need to take a downer, some vit c and SSRI's before it is? Fuck shit bullshit, but it's a start. @ Yeti, yeah I reckon it is an implicit green light, so the race is on, and again watch em fold. I reckon either ACT or SA, who both have been a bit TOO quiet on the topic given their state laws, will be the first to go for the gold... I mean green.

Sounds like a good idea to me, Pills mean the dosage is regulated, and the medicinal compounds are pure. Medicine needs to be dosed at specific concentrations to be effective, When one inhales smoke from burning plant material it becomes impossible to be certain, which compounds are being ingested and which compound are being destroyed by the flame, aswell as what concentrations are being absorbed. While smoking might be an effective way to get high, its never going to be an effective way to dose medicine. Lets consider aspirin, would you prefer to pop a pill, with a standardize dose or do you want to smoke some willow bark and hope it helps your headache. I dont think its fair or accurate to claim Big Phara is stealing anything here, Huge investments go into funding clinical trials, and large proportions of these trials never make it past the 3rd phase, which results in a massive loss to pharmaceutical companies. A study published in 2006 estimates that costs vary from around $500 million to $2 billion depending on the therapy or the developing firm.[4] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16522582 Its also worth considering that these medicines will be used to treat children with epilepsy or other seizure inducing disorders, Do we really want children smoking ? Do we really want them ingesting psychoactive substances while their brains are developing? when in most cases that im aware of the compounds in Cannabis that help with seizures are not psychoactive. I really hope Australia doesn't go down the road Canada has, where anyone can go to a doctor to get a Medical Cannabis Card which the majority are clearly using for recreational purposes. Using medicine as an excuse to justify a safe recreational drug is absurd.

I would refer everyone to my previous crystal ball predictions, because I know everything about everything Dodginess, private interests, and ridiculous bureaucracy as they try to steer it all into the hands of a few... I've heard that fucking smoking comment quite a few times now, and it displays an absolute ignorance of the various mechanisms by which cannabis can work. Some people NEED to smoke it to get the individual effect that works best for them and their condition. FUCKNNN!!!!!!!

My understanding of this is it's not the sampling/ sequencing which is the expensive part any more ( providing you have a competent person and suitable facility to provide a quality sample- even these are readily available these days ) The exxy bit is getting the sequence data analysed by someone who knows what they're doing. I know a few such people socially and once they started to explain the process to me my head assploded. Mind you last time I checked was like 2011 Once the day comes when you send in your plant sample and a machine spits the data back at you in a form you can understand ( Echinopsis- yes! ) then we'll be able to get all these tricky taxonomic questions sorted. Til then just let the taxonomists flog it out in the carpark, they're a tetchy bunch, it can be hard to keep two of them in a room together ;)

Waking up to this is sensational.

Just received pics of this monster, thanks mum

And some I forgot. Gawler Peru pollinated with Norma (x2) - Scopulicola and Fields Pachanoi Grandi flowers open today, might try to pollinate them for fun. and plenty of pachanoi flowers left to mature. More of these types around the garden too....

ill take a 30cm cut for $10! i dont think the maths adds up ;) Im actually good for a cut as im broke but id consider the above offer! haha

Potting up some of the early birthday present I gave to my self :-)

Herbalistics clones Hb02 - super pedro x psycho0 Hb03 - psycho0 x super pedro

Short spined "SuperPerdroxPsycho0" Long spined "SuperPerdroxPsycho0"

Here are two of my current favorites. Both are seed grown hybrids. This is a T. scopulicola X T. puquiensis cross, lovely green colour and ridged ribs, looks like it will be getting pretty fat! It's a fast grower too! This one I nicknamed Trichocereus sp. 'Adriatic'. It is a Psycho0 X SuperPedro cross, with a lovely set of genetics, beautiful blue colour and rib formation of Psycho0, with spination and fatness of Superpedro. Another fast grower.

Why not your right testicle? Of course lophophora is one of my favorites

I was originally told spuper pedro was a scop x pach and going by its skin it looks like it has scop in its make up to me. I have yet to score a true scop so I am only going by photos at the moment. This is slightly off topic but along the same lines Scop x bridgesii I really like the look of this plant. I think it needs to be re-potted as it didn't plump up this year. Scop x bridg at the front super pedro at the back Cheers Got
