    a friend brought me some stuff from Gabon (small mask, banknote and Iboga-root) and kandea- smoke resin (from Okoumé- tree, Gabon) and I built this from it:

    Thanks Khala ;-)

    @colhawk: *gg* yes, the shipibo-textile is very psychedelic, they make it as plan of psychedelic landscapes for ayahuasca and I heard they even can sing the patterns

    @toast: you have also a great collection! what fascinated me most is the african shaman's box, ...like pandora's box ;-) was there something inside?

    @ phyllode: no problem, the conversation got very emotional and I understand your viewpoint

    Most widely distributed is the closely related Acacia burkittii (throughout Oz), the acuminata typical- and narrow phyllode variants are about equal distributed (in corners of WA), the acuminata/burkittii- and the small seed variant have the smallest distribution:

    whitewind, I absolutely agree with you. In the Amazon for example the indians never see the rainforest as their own and most of them move on before their location gets too much exploited, what they leave back is a very fertile ground (Terra Preta). The white "land owners" in contrast see their part of the Amazon as money source and most retrieve as much as they can, until the area is completely dead, although there is also the possibility to make a national park from the owned land, to retrain the loggers to rangers in the national park, and with sustainablew tourism there even the possibility to cover the costs.

    My pipe-collection:

    from left to right: Nosepipe (selfmade from clay, like the ones from the early americans), Indian pipe from Peruvian Indians with anaconda-skin, root-pipe (selfmade), ironwood-chillum, chillum from Ladakhi- monk, shipibo-pipe, old indian pipe (clay), South American pipe with fur and Rhynchosia pyramidalis- seed in clay, two selfmade sepiolithe-pipes, cobra-chillum, small pure-pipe (selfmade from hemp-wood), small spanish pipe

    on the top: a selfmade bong out of a bottle Agwa-Coca- liqueur, glass-kawumm, revolver-pipe, sepiolithe-flask (selfmade)

    downside: telescope-pipe, the chinese O-pipe, acrylic kawumm

    Thanks, DreamTimeBliss for returning to the acuminata ;-)

    I live in an apartment and it IS possible to grow many plants like Banisteriopsis,... in front of the window

    Lespedeza can be grown on the balcony

    Chacruná and Acacia simplex grows in a small greenhouse (aquarium)

    and acuminata and jurema grow under a energy saving- console

    interesting, especially the adenosine- effects:

    Beneficial at opiate withdrawal: A1-Agonists (the A1- receptors are also activated during opiate action and adenosine is released) and A2A-Antagonists.

    A2A- receptors weaken the activity of dopamine D2- receptors! There is a close correlation between mu- and delta- opioid- and adenosine-receptors. The Serotonin- release is also stimulated.

    A1 and A2A- receptors regulate the dopamine- and glutamate release and mediate a sedative effect!

    A1- receptors stabilize magnesium on the NMDA- receptor.

    Adenosine- Receptors: A1, A2A, A2B, A3

    Endogene Ligandes: Adenosine

    Psychoactive used Substances:

    Agonisten: Valepotriates, Paeoniflorin (special activation of the receptor), Tubotaiwine, Apparicine, Polygala tenuifolia- constituents

    (A2A-agonistic), Incarvillateine (Receptor- subtype unknown.), Leonurine, Lactucin, 4'-O-ß-D-Glucosyl-9-O- (6"-

    desoxysaccharosyl)-olivil (A1-agonist from valerian), Cordycepin (A3-selektive), Galangin (in the mM-area on all three receptors,

    a Flavonol in Alpinia galanga & officinalis), Genisteine (A1-agonistic), N-(4-hydroxybenzyl)adenosine (A2A- R., from Gastrodia elata

    and sedative),

    Agonist- binding amplifier: Adenoregulin (in Phyllomedusa bicolor- and P. sauvagii- skinsecretion),

    Partial Agonists: 1-Hydroxypinoresinol,

    Antagonists: Caffeine (competitive on A2A-R.), Theobromine, Cannabidiol (A2A-R.), Hispidol (A1, Ki 350 nM), Luteolin (A1),

    Inverse Agonists: Isovaltrate (am A1-R., from valerian),

    Adenosine- (bzw.Equilibrative nucleoside-)transporter: ENT1-4

    (Adenosine reuptake)

    Endogene Ligands: Adenosine

    Psychoactive used substances:

    Inhibitors: Benzodiazepines, Ethanol, Inosine (like also Adenosine in Cordyceps sin.), Papaverine,

    Progesterone, tricyclic antidepressants, Cannabidiol, N-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-adenosine

    (A2A- R., from Gastrodia elata and sedative),

    If you want to find it in the outback, have a look on this distribution map:

    http://www.anbg.gov....nummularia.html

    The flowering season is mainly spring to early summer, after heavy rains.

    Do not grow the seeds in very salty sand, the plant adapts to salty conditions, but the seed only germinates when rain washes the salt out of the soil for a short time.

    Most important, also in my germination experiments, is to remove the seed hull, because it contains germination inhibiting substances.

    With the hulls no seed germinated, but with the hulls removed the germination rate was much better.

    Soak the seeds for 24 hours in water and then put them in sandy and loamy soil and keep it damp-dry.

    My seedlings already have this silvery shine:

    thnX thed00dabidies,

    yeah, ethno- research never ends,

    the more we know, we know that we know nothing

    most interesting are the limits of science and the border to the unknown, where it goes spiritual
