    So basically they are saying Aussie stuff is mostly synthetic? By synthetic do they mean people used chemicals to isolate it or it's completely synthetic as most of us understand synthetic? Doesn't sounds right that people would do a proper synth on something that is apparently so freely available in nature (like the story says!)

     

    Typical journalism I guess. Now I'm confused... What's a dmt drug? 

     

    I am guessing that  DMT  and possibly 5 MEO DMT are naturally occurring tryptamines , harvested and isolated for sale on the DNMs .  The  4 - subs , etc , are probably synthetic , originating in Chinese , etc , labs for sale in the west on the DNMs .

    I remember seeing the first half hour of that doco, and as I recall it was only due to community prompting that the cops did anything. From what I remember the foragers were parking on private land, or accessing forests via private land, in decent numbers apparently, and conservative land owners got pissed. Could be wrong though... 

     

    Either way, absolutely fucking crazy waste of public money, not to mention the police man hours which should've been by rights focused on violent crime, etc.

     

    I think most of the people caught and busted for possession just copped a fine and had their subs confiscated.

     

    "Most expensive mushrooms I ever had!" I believe one of them said. 

     

    *edit - From the story:

    Police said not only were the mushrooms toxic and dangerous, it was also illegal to collect them. 

     

    WHADAFUK? :huh: Spot on coppers. Way to educate the population, ya fuckwits.:angry:

     

     

    AFIK psilocybin , LSD , psilocin , etc ,  have NEVER killed anybody , despite some huge doses being taken , and in fact are noted for their lack of toxicity ....

    Not sure how I feel about shooting pelicans ,,,,,

     

    Really cool looking birds , but I can understand how they might de - stock a dam quickly .  Did they ever return , and how did the venture wind up ?

    Psychedelic research should never have been stopped and the substances banned way back in the 1960s , mainly because of the offensive [ to governments and the majority population ] and ludicrous activities of folk such as Leary and Kesey , etc ,.  The   " acid tests  "  , and  1000s of kids  who  " turned on , tuned in , and dropped out "  ensured prohibition and brought about the end of legitimate scientific research , despite a great deal of positive and very beneficial results from the legit study and treatments .... [ for example , Leary"s  research on criminal recidivism , before he lost the plot ; or Osmond"s  treatment of alcoholics with psychedelics that produced very positive results .  These are but two examples of a huge amount of documented positive  research data .] 

     

    Fortunately , MAPS and other organizations seem to be making some gains in one day again being able to conduct legitimate psychedelic research . With the benefit of hindsight and genuine researchers , the mistakes of the past are unlikely to be repeated . Hopefully these amazing and beneficial substances will be treated with more respect and dignity than previously instead of sensational inebriants  , and perhaps indeed really prove to be a benefit for humanity after all ...

    When I was young [ many , many years ago ] dropping a trip or having a smoke was NEVER lethal ....

    but nowadays with all the analogues available that are masquerading as the genuine article things are becoming pretty scarey . I suspect all the " synthetic " drugs such as the NBxx type and cannabinoids , and other RCs are merely produced and marketed as a means to circumvent drug laws for LSD , cannabis , etc , ....

    Tragically , this clearly demonstrates the futility and stupidity of the current drug war .... after all , neither LSD or cannabis , unlike the legal RCs that mimic them , have never killed anyone .

    Chickens - they love them, and you can eat their eggs, and if they stop eating/laying - eat the chicken :)

    A good suggestion .....

    Chooks are the only animals I have seen to eat cockroaches also ; as with the millipedes , they love roaches too !

    Wish I could find something to control Indonesian house geckos !

    Change of the current ludicrous policies is inevitable , but sadly will probably take a long time in Australia with our ignorant negative attitudes and timid politicians and governments .

    Countries such as Portugal seem to have got it right ; and after all an individual taking a drug is a victimless crime .....

    All that our current drug laws have achieved is to have created a situation that is a God-send to criminals involved in illicit trafficking , motivated only by the enormous profits and attainable wealth that is only possible by prohibition .

    Clearly prohibition is a dismal failure that only benefits criminals .....

    I suspect ANZ has received more complaints regarding this " phishing " scam , as now on-line correspondence from the bank [ statements , etc ] have a warning stating that the bank does not send such SMS messages and that one should report them to the bank and not to respond to them .

    Don't know how they do it , but these people must have accessed all of my phone and and banking details except the bank PIN numbers .

    Yesterday I read a letter in the Qld Sunday Mail of someone calling for a cashless society as a solution to drug trafficking and other organized crime , as there would be data records of all financial transactions ......

    but I doubt it would be feasible or work because of the electronic scammers who seem to a step ahead of the financial institutions .

    BEWARE ....

    Last week I received a SMS advising that my ANZ is blocked because I need to " verify " some of the account details . Contact reply details were provided to a http address .

    My bank is nearby , and I was really pissed that my account should by blocked , I went to the bank branch to complain and sort it .

    As is transpired , the account was not blocked and the message did not come from the bank .

    I was advised that it is a " phishing " scam that would try to access my account once I had replied to the scammer .

    The bank told me to never reply to such SMSs , as they never send them . Must admit it looked legit , and I was fooled by it - just lucky it was easier to visit the bank instead of replying to the SMS .

    Be careful folks - so many crooks out there trying to rip us ....

    I am intrigued as to how the scammer got my phone number , or knew that I was an ANZ customer ......

    Been growing some psych0 seedlings and going well but recently they have all turned a browny reddish color. Is this a cause for concern?

    This usually indicates too much light , ime ....

    Suggest partial filtering of the light source . I use the sun , and find fly wire quite good for cacti seedling growth once they're established . maybe a shade cloth when very young and tender . You need to harden them up gradually .

    Sorry if this is off topic - I usually add a sprinkle of trace element " micro mix " nutrients to any potting mixes that I use ... available cheaply at nurseries , etc ,...

    Since doing so have not noticed any deficiencies attributable to lack of minerals . Maybe once a year sprinkle a little boost , but with extreme care - a little goes a really long way ; like , a $ 5 pkt will last maybe a lifetime if you're using pots .

    yeah my target oils are through steam extraction. Ideally i'd like to be able to recover at least 100ml of oil per process, which at 3% oil (for example) would require 3kg initial product to fit in there...

    You're going to need a huge still to recover yields in the 100 ml range - it is not as easy as you may think to produce large amounts .....

    I once played around with a set up using an old beer keg as the boiling vessel , and my yields were but a fraction of what you are anticipating . Furthermore , you are going to require massive quantities of plant material to produce in the 100s of mls .....

    Nevertheless , it is being done by savvy folk - best of luck ; and it is satisfying and fun to do as well .

    Yes , nothing is without risk , however I suspect that psychedelics will some day prove to be most helpful therapeutic psychological medications . I believe such a study is recently being done in Switzerland .

    I think it is time for a big re - think , and a return for psychedelics to be legally accessible without all the hype and stupidity of the '60s that led the them being indiscriminately outlawed .

    Hi mate . I think you will find that your collection of plant species will increase in number before long , and continue to do indefinitely while you pursue this wonderful hobby and your knowledge increases .

    I would start by taking notes of possible species of interest , reading as much as possible , and browsing sites that sell these species , esp Shaman Australis , Herbalistics , and others .

    You will soon begin to get things sussed out , and before long you will be enjoying abundance ....

    There are definitely more reports of attacks in Australia over the past 5 years or so . Once it was quite a rare event , although I don't know where to find such statistics .

    I am guessing possibly a combo of factors : more sharks due to their protection , and more people in the water , and as Dead Star above notes more bait fish , etc .....

    Certainly an utterly appalling tragedy , and my heart goes out to the victims and their families
