Hi all, I am about to start a course of daily doses of caapi to assist with treating anxiety and depression. I brewed up 50g of vine today, and plan to space this over a week, taking the equivalent of around 7g of vine daily in a tea. My brew was a simple water brew with only a tiny squeeze of lemon added at the start, and it was made with love and attention, I sang a few songs to it while cooking and also blew some palo santo smoke over it at the end. My hope is that it helps me break free from some bad mental patterns that are plaguing me lately, and I'll assess progress after a week. If things are going well, I will extend my course. Does anyone else have any experience with this? I'd be interested to hear your thoughts, and I'm happy to receive PMs or you can post them here. I also have Rue, but I am starting this experiment with Mama Caapi as I wish to develop a close working relationship with her, and have heard some good results. I'll try to post daily here as to how I am feeling and I hope this may eventually serve as a resource for others who may wish to try this path. I have taken SSRI's in the past, but they leave me feeling hollow and mediocre, like the feeling I used to have days after heavy Raving. I plan to make other changes in my life to complement this path, but one step at a time. Let's do this. I have a good feeling about it. Lots of love, G.

Hey folks, my parter jess is being part of a local art exhibition here in northern rivers at lennox head on Thursday. Any support would be most welcome. This is the event: https://www.rawartists.org/northernrivers/radiant This is Jess: http://www.rawartists.org/jesssaunders If you would like a cheap ticket just let me know we can sort it out

You got it all wrong man, it's the word 'Dick' that sends 'em mad.

Pan sp growing out of decomposing elephant dung, banks of the Nam Khan river, Laos Couple of diff sp growing in bamboo debris, Pha Tad Ke botanic garden, Laos end of the wet season so not many fungi about

I'm thinking a Tesla coil would be much safer and better suited to the task.

^Hmmm is that what it is? I might put my 'Sausage' up for a quarter grand then and see how it goes. Cheers for the tip HD!

All I need is a kite and some string then i should be sweet guys http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/04/100409-lightning-mushrooms-japan-harvest/

so i hear weinsteins company was set up for 1billion and is now worth only 1 million. pretty interesting how a certain group of people will tolerate basically anything but as soon as you start losing them money, whoo-boy watch out

Tie a key to the kite

Try to get photos of flowering and seed if you can .. from motherplants if poss.. see if tests on the material you have are runnable .. maybe diplop has different forms - and maybe some equally sexy sisters .. try to see if folk you can ask know anything about tetrapterys methistica if poss? MG I contacted a supplier of the leaf in Canada about that a few years ago, wondering just the same, and they said they didn't know and weren't able to get live plants or cuttings or seeds or info .. damn it took nrly 4 hours to get this to allow me to reply.. anyhoo :3

I'm growing with a view to making a tincture. I found this recipe when I was searching: Wild Lettuce; Lactuca Virosa Preparation Here is a recipe for making a strong Lactuca, Wild Lettuce, tincture. It is prepared differently than a more traditional way to increase the effects of it’s sedative anodyne qualities. This plant is also known as Lettuce Opium or Wild Opium. With preparing this form of Lactuca; Wild Lettuce tincture, it is important to have all aspects and equipment prepared beforehand such as knowing where there is a stand of Lactuca growing, having your equipment ready, and knowing that you have enough time during the days it takes to make it, which aren’t much, less than 2 hours per day for about 5 days. Read on. Basically, I use this form of preparation to condense the latex in the plant which I assume contains most of its nervine qualities. Otherwise one ends up with a weak medicine due to all the ‘roughage’ that is a part of these stately plants. The goal is to maximize the concentration of latex. This is a bit of a challenge with Wild Lettuce, Lactuca, as there is a lot of plant matter to work around to get the latex without the mainly inert cellulose and other plant matter. Always you make sure you identify the plant correctly before picking. Picture shows a botanical of Wild Lettuce Tools needed for making Wild Lettuce Tincture 1.Pruners-to cut plants 2.Tincture press 3.Ethanol-95% 4.Blender- a good sturdy one 5.Stove 6.Stainless steel pot with a lid Preparation of Wild Lettuce Tincture 1.Find a stand of Wild Lettuce plants. I have used a number of species and they all seem useful, though some more careful observations of species may help figure this out. I have not used any close relatives that also yield latex, such as Sonchus. 2.The best time to make this tincture is when the plant is at its maximum latex yield, which seems to be around when it is just going to flower. It is easy to see the amount of latex, remove a leaf and the white milky latex should flow freely. 3.While all parts of Wild Lettuce contain this latex, I just make the medicine from the above ground parts, as it is just easier to not have to wash and cut up the roots, though I may be missing something here, as the roots do exude a fair bit of the latex. 4.Cut a few Wild Lettuce stalks 5.Bring them right away to where you will be processing them into tincture. 6.Cut them up into blender-size pieces Picture shows the latex from the Wild Lettuce plant 7.Put them in the blender, and cover with ethanol 8.Blend 9.Add as much ethanol and material as you can to get a big wad of blenderized Wild Lettuce stem, saturated in ethanol 10.Let sit overnight (or longer) 11.Press tincture in tincture press 12.Cut more Wild Lettuce 13.Cut into blender-size pieces 14.Put in blender, add the menstruum that you recently pressed 15.Add this into the blender, along with enough 95% ethanol to cover and blend. 16.Let sit overnight. 17.Follow this process for a few days, cut, add menstruum from previously pressed tincture, blend, and add enough ethanol to get the juice out. And then press this for the next batch. 18.After a few days of this you should have a fair bit of fluid (menstruum) 19.Put this in a stainless steel pot with a lid on it 20.Bring to a high simmer 21.Evaporate and reduce the fluid so it gets more black and ‘tar-like’ 22.This is your medicine 23.Be aware, that as you simmer, ethanol evaporates at a lower temperature than water, so make sure there is enough ethanol in your final product to keep it stable 24.Enjoy and let me know the results.

Added more cactuce

Me thinks cause its got the words 'Shaman' and 'Chemical' in its name. Let us never forget that sheep are retarded. Hell, you can even arse fuck them with the right pair of gumboots, no questions asked...

The weird thing to me is that there seems to be a steady supply of dried leaf to many smartshops of supposed D. cab which does seem to contain DMT in good amounts judging from the reports of bioassays and extractions on some forums. Anyone knows if the foliage that is sold as chaliponga is actual D. cab, and/or who supplies those shops? If it's not diplopterys then what is it? From what I've read it does look different from chacruna and seems more potent. Surely if the supplier is harvesting kilos they might be able to provide cuttings.

Yeah, at 3000 posts you can no longer change your user name. You become a trusted member.

Edit

Usually we have some like minded conversation swap, trade or give away plants or seeds. Sometimes some of us will bring food I can make this meet at 12pm now. I'm looking forward to it

Holymoly!

Lol, there is a fine line between hobby and obsession. I have decided to mainly focus on growing hardy things cause things can quickly get out of hand especially during a persistent heat wave, it can be a burden growing things that don't go well in the climate, a burden that made me revaluate what i do or do not choose to grow, for example i have largely opted out off psychotria plants for acacias, going to go for more candle nut trees and not macadamia etc It can be exhausting trying to keep picky plants alive that don't mesh with the climate, only very special plants get my primo out of climate care services these days.

I found the label still attached to the grafting stock beneath the earth. Its a Psyho0 x Lumberjack. For that cross the spines are extremly short. Has anybody pics of that cross to compare? Thanks in advance.

I take it youve never played with gibberellin A3? That stuff can turn virtually anything into a fast growing vine. Most biology books will have a pic of a regular cabbage that was turned into a 5 meter long vine with it.
