  1. Does look like bridgesii/lageniformis, but I can see why people think there is Myrtillocactus in it... maybe it is a hybrid, it does look a bit unusual. Will be interesting to see what it looks like as it grows out at your place.

    I got a little lageniformis from Bunnings a couple of weeks ago, in one of those 3-in-1 things.. I saw one at Waldeck's recntly too... it was a regular little one from a cutting, maybe 25cm high max, cheap plastic pot... $59 lol


  2. What's the rosie clone again? Bridge? Pach?

     

    Trichocereus roseii :)

    Today I washed some pots, and am going to pot up some cuts...

    I am also facing the old dilemma of whether I should cut up favorite cacti for propagation, or just leave them to look pretty but grow slowly.......

  3. I knew a guy in high school who would drop acid then run through the houses of people he didn't like, smashing anything and anyone that got in his way. He would be like 'oh that guy is a loser, imma drop LSD and do a run through on his house'

    Luckily, evolution kicked in and after briefly dating my sister he killed himself a few years later.


  4. ^^ Don't blame the sydney crew I'd be there most days if he was here. He's in melbourne! If he does it again perhaps we should all put in together for an iphone for the melbourne crew so they can do some footage. Then they can send it to me and I'll upload it for them.

     

    LOL oops I edited it to indict Melbournians instead :):P

    I thought it was Melbs initially, but for some reason got Sydney into my head, because I thought the Parliament being mentioned was in Canberra... and I was like wow, so has Greg been driving or flying to Parliament house?

    Haha god how vague can I get? so it is Victorian Parliament, fuck I give up I'm obviously on another planet! :)

    Look, all I want for Christmas is to watch Greg doing heaps of stuff on youtube, is that too much too ask, Satan?

  5. I have changed my mind about Greg, and I now see him as the postmodern equivalent of an ancient Israelite prophet.

    have the media actually been contacted Greg? i missed that part..

    you could greatly improve chances by creating a buzz yourself, crucially you would need as much footage as you can get, which will increases the chances of getting some short sections of suitable material

    we need lots of stuff of greg skinny but lucid, smacking down puppets of the status quo with his radical theories, doing the acid at parliament, and saying lot's of stuff about freedom and then getting dragged awy by 1984-esque cops in black uniforms

    also there is a good chance your actions on the 12th will be taken more seriously this time, and i think you can expect to see some LEO, which is even more reason to have people quietly filming in the background.

    nearly everyone has cameras on their phones now, there is no reason all your discussions and actions should not be recorded , it seems like such a waste

    I am amazed you haven't had more practical support given all the fuss some people made about how important it was that everyone unquestioningly support you... where are all these people now?

    I honestly can't believe it, even if I hated Greg if I lived there I would be popping in there and recording this stuff every couple of days.

  6. On Monday evening, I had sent an email to all of the Victorian Members of Parliament informing them of my intentions and the reasons why I was taking them. I have no idea of how many of them actually bothered to read what I sent, but a friend who is a backbencher said that the MPs he spoke to aware of what I am doing, but had decided to ignore me.

    This is really good news for this stage of the campaign. It shows that they are not committed to being confrontational and have no desire to turn me into a martyr for my cause and are perhaps uncertain as to whether my legal arguments hold up (www.kasarik.com/The-Legal-Argument.php). From here I intend to issue an invitation to all MPs to begin a conversation and to work together in order to arrive at a win-win solution that meets our needs to be able to use these compounds, while also meeting there need to be seen to protect the public health and safety.

    The most interesting “conversation” for the day, was when I approached Ted Baillieu, the Premier of Victoria. He was engaged in a photo op on the steps of parliament. I approached him and gave him a brochure, asking that he “have one of his people get in touch with me, so that I don’t have to starve myself”. His response was a quite contemptuous “whatever” and his disdain for people like me was abundantly clear. Needless to say, nobody from his office, or government contacted me, just as they have failed to do so for the last 18 months.

     

    what? ...that sounds like the opposite of good news for the campaign to me! it sounded more like you were being held in contempt and ignored, and will continue to be. It certainly is the easiest approach for them.

    if I existed as someone in your position, after finishing my fast I would retreat, reflect and rethink my strategy

    I don't expect you to listen to that. if anything, saying it will probably cause you to resist even more

    it's funny, human communication, isn't it? You can do anything but tell the truth, it seems, oh well I guess... it's all just a game... we just want to be loved.

    but yeah my tie-died friend, by all means keep up the 'good' work! it's likely eventually some action like your Leary-esque public acid stunt might get you arrested and you will get your 15 minutes as an unhinged, disenfranchised, tripped out version of Michael Douglas in Falling Down.

    don't misunderstand, that would be cool. love to bits all the stuff you are doing from a certain perspective, it's just that you are tripping if you expect to ever be taken seriously!

    but loving the way you are bringing the surreal, Happening, post-society, be-in, futury, buying acid OTC at the chemist and putting LSD in the communion wine vibe.

    also admire you greatly for the fasting, could never make it past 5 days... presuming you are not cheating, of course! hahaha lol ;) :)

    can't believe no one has ever done the LSD in the communion wine thing, it would be so easy

  7. All talk no action. As usual.

     

    TALKING IS AN ACTION

    taking action without thought and planning and consultation is idiotic

    the oppressive laws and system we currently have, and indeed much of the oppression in the world generally can be blamed on this much believed but obviously stupidly sinister slogan:

    JUST DO IT.

    fucking grow up and stop grandstanding, you supported Greg when he was talking about doing something? Opposed and refused to speak to anyone who even questioned him? now look at you...

    pffffffffffffft

    I don't know what all this PhD shit is, lobbying and activist groups come in all shapes and sizes, nothing wrong with homegrown grass roots stuff at all, in fact it can often effect more change than a bunch of stiffs in suits sitting around having a big beauracratic wankfest and achieving nothing.

  9. back yard acuminata, grown from tube-stock, 2 yrs in the ground, 2 m high so far :lol:

     

    Very nice! Encouraged me as I have been scoping out where to put some of my seedlings in the ground and yours seems to be doing well even right by the fence (I guess the long roots help? maybe I should see what your fence looks like in 10 years actually lol :). Also I wasn't sure how quickly they grew and that looks pretty satisfactory to me. I have some floribunda going too, and yeah it grows much faster.

    Can you tell me if the hooks on the tips of the leaves on yours die back if it is dehydrated? I bought an Acacia sapling I am sure is acuminata, except compared to my smaller seedlings it is lacking the hooks on the leaves, but the person I got it from said they had been away for a few weeks and no water so I wondered if that was why. Some of your leaves look similar but difficult to tell for certain, so if you could tell me that would be great. :)

    What age do people reckon is best to get them in the ground?
