85! Very generous offer!

what happens when you apply it to plants? I've recently become interested in messing with pgrs to change growth habits. Looking for some oryzalin to introduce polyploidism

Anyone got any freaky results from these experiments?

I have prescribed pharmaceuticals (lots lol) but I dont like to take them unless I really have to. I was eating oxycodone by the handful for the first few months, its not a good habit to get into. Weed was an amazing painkiller but it makes me anxious and braindead, so not really an option for me.

If anyone has seeds or plants of painkilling plants I'm very interested in them! Happy to pay cash or trade

I have become very interested in pain killing plants in the last 2 years after being hit by a car and suffering chronic back pain and sciatica as a result. A really interesting way to find pain killing (specifically opioid) plants is to use the search terms "reversed by naloxone extract" in google scholar. The "reversed by naloxone" gives an indication that its an opioid and the "extract" brings up heaps of plants. Once you find a plant that has its pain killing effect reversed by naloxone you google "Species name diarrhea". If it has its pain killing effect reversed by naloxone and has traditional use as an antidiarrheal agent there's a chance that the plants pain killing effect comes from hitting an opioid receptor. Here's some plants I've been looking at today.

Hey Missmeander, I sent you a pm but not sure if you got it. My wife and I are wanting to do a big garden weekend this weekend to get ready for the new year. Would love to buy some plants from you, we're in bris too. Also my little sister is chasing some cacti cuttings if you have those. cheers

looks like MHRB powder.

from my window it looks like a pretty nice day out, so im guessing its on.

@Infinity, do you live near the park? Is it possible for you to put up whether it's raining or not a bit before?

Has anyone put this up on the SAB facebook page? Seems more active than here so might get a big crowd

Sounds cool! I used to be a member here but I had my collection die on me a few years back while i was on holiday and lost enthusiasm. But I'm back now My collection is pretty small, mainly nicotiana species. So ill bring that along in case someone wants some seed. see you soon

Should be able to make it it What normally happens on these meets?

Any word on the next Brisbane meet?

You can make an essential oil still cheaply from an open top 44 gallon drum. Buy an open top 44 gallon drum, should cost about $10-$30. Fit a tap to the bottom so you can fill it with water. Put the drum on top of some bricks so you can heat it either with fire or a big gas burner. Get a piece of rebar and cut it into a circle. Cover that with chicken wire. Throw a besa block into the bottom of your 44 gallon drum and put you chicken wire covered rebar on top. Fill with water (record the amount). Dump all your herbs on top. Make up some flour dough to the consistency of wet pizza dough. Put this all around the rim of the 44 gallon drum (this will act as a seal). Attach the lid making sure the dough gets squished (the dough heats up and cooks into bread acting as a seal). Attach you condenser (google copper liebig for plans or search pot still on ebay and get one of the still makers to make one for you) Fire up your still and let it run till most of the water has come out. (thats why you record how much water you put in) When its empty fill it with more water in the tap and then start again. If you want to make the process quick have another pot full of boiling water so you dont have to wait for it to heat up. Some oils take a long time to come out so collect some product into a 2L glass jar every couple hours, once the oil coming out is not worth it for you refill with herbs and start again. To make it more efficient you can wrap the whole thing in fireproof roof insulation, saves you a bit on gas.

Not sure why it hasnt been brought up but kratom is an amazing medicine for greatly reducing withdrawal. I've seen quite a few people use it to quit an opiate habit with little to no withdrawal. You dont have to suffer whilst quitting, in fact it makes it easier to quit because you know its not going to be that bad. It makes it easier to slip back into a habit but the slips are less long in duration because you know you can stop at any time with the kratom. Kratom is also great as a maintenance tool.

I guess lucky number 13

Are second guesses allowed?

Where do you get your molasses from Big Red? If you're still running the comp I guess 17

I wish i could buy police pepper spray so i could spray it on anything that needed a little spicing up. I've got a heap of butch ts x carolina reaper, trinidad scorpians and a couple carolina reapers growing. HAvent had a lot of fruit tis year because i planted a bit late but next year I should get heaps. I plan to use them to make a fermented chilli sauce like tobasco but actually hot. My favourite tasting one is probably the bhut jolokias.

In the book snowblind they mention the donkey custom. Its meant to be a true story and i think it was written before the internet.
