IN SA, my dealing with the plant patrol....
2 plants outside will be less of a probem. 1-2 plants inside(hyrdo) now in SA and they can/will charge you with production/manufacture of a drug, and they do. Outside you will only get a TIN notice(100 bucks), for 1 plant, but im sure if the cops arnt assholes you should get away with 2. Thats here tho, WA is much stricter tho isnt it?
When i was visited, the sargent said i could grow one outdoors for my med use, and its only a TIN fine, no record. He actually suggested that i do that next year(maybe hees keen to rip me off since he saw the quality of my indoors
) and i replied that i have kids in both nieghbouring yards, and they dont need to be exposed to that or risk someone jumping the fence. He said these were all good points and basically said the laws are crap and dont help med users at all.
The other point is, its not up to the cops to pass your punishment, its the judges job. If you treat the judge as a normal person, and just tell your story(other than you were growing for sales) small (1-3) plots will be delt with pretty lightly, providing you assist the cops when they get to your house. Notes from the DPP are helpful in building the scenario, dont piss em off or they will make it harder later...There are so many factors involved in the actual hearing, it really depends on how you handle the police and in turn how they view the bust...
If you search around you will find a 800 or 1000w proposition i have put out there, if this was seriously looked at, it could draw quite a nice neat line in the sand between smalltime/ med users and those wanting to cash in on our lovely lady.
-- were plants found on both properties?
-- If its not your house and they come a knockin, you have to say that the owner has NO IDEA that you are growing, or they will be charged also. even if you live wit the owner, dont implicate them at all.

Thanks everyone.
Im wondering on the stability of subs in this area. At least 2 disitinct types were noticed at this location if not more.
Heres and old shroom, turning a beautiful buff colour, looking good for her age, sharing a similar shape to "unsual suspect" photo, far different from the typical sub at maturity....
Ahhh, gotta love em!

Canna coco is great stuff, no dust and the best "feel" ive yet used, expensive tho. Andy hit the nail on the head, cheaper stuff is degraded in brackish water, stripped then processed. Canna(and other brands) are degraded and washed in fresh water ponds, then treated with magnesium salts(damn cant remember) to prevent nutrient lockup and skewing nutrient levels/micro/macro availablity.
I think there is a little movie on the Canna website about the process i think...
If your mixing with soil, i would think a good flush with water will do fine

Not sure if this link is in those other ones, but its an interesting look at the strain differences and thc variants in a crop of industrial hemp, it can actually get to useable levels in hemp, depending on conditions,

Hi again Simon, I know and have been effected by the leg pain you are talking about, i was going to ask you if heavy stimulant use has been an issue. I (and many others as i have found out) can attribute that to the use of strong stimulants for considerable time. As i mentioned before, my ice problem had alot ot do with the leg pains. I think it may be from dopamine depletion in the muscle, and thats why the pot helps so much, it acts as a dopamine agent and its working as a muscle relaxant. Remember the legs house the biggest mucsles in the body, and they will also show signs of problems earlier. I think you have actually been medicating your dopamine depletion with pot as i was. My leg aches have droppped dramatically after 5+yrs off the ice and any stimulants at all other than green tea and the occasional thai or indo red bull. I only get the aches and sudden cramps maybe once every two weeks or so now, not multiple times daily as when on stimulants.
Hope this helps somewhat... If your wanting to try the simple gaba treatment i have used before to fully "reset" the canibinoid sites in around 5-7 days... lay off the weed or reduce over two days while taking 200+mg(everyones dose is different, up to 700mg+ thats all i needed) GABA about 10 minutes before bed, placed under the tounge and disolved with saliva, only use about 1/4 glass of water to rinse and swallow. Dont use water if you dont need. Go straight to bed. Now you may have some funky real personal dreams for the first few nights, thats all ok, and you will wake up earler and fresher(fresher if your dose wasnt too high). I woke up around 2 hours eailer than normal, and im an early riser. You tend not to be able to go back to sleep that well if at all on the right dose. Eat breaky and enjoy your busy day. Stay busy. Stay busy all day till dinner. Eat well and large(dopamine again)a few hours after gaba and bed again. Try this for 5 days if you can.
My pot consumption dropped from 1-2g a day to 100-200mg a day. Thats a tenfold decrease.
My first 200mg of prime grapey Hindu Kush after clean 14 days was truely unique. Full amazing and colourfull closed eyed visuals that lasted for around 2 hours and the almighty sense of space distortion akind to lsd. I have never felt such strong effects ever in my life, not even when i first started smoking. All i could do was smile and float around. When i whent to bed the CEV's were absolutely beautiful in colour and texture. It was a treat i was allowed to view that only my brain could show me. My tolerance maintained that low lever for around 2+weeks, i couldnt finish halfa spliff without trippin. I have now cut down to a managable ammount, around 200-600mg/day. Now i am disussing the effects of an pure indica here, not sativas, thats another story altogether.
I think addiction blockers are also a good idea, just there is plenty of other substances that cause more immediate and disasterous problems in my view.
Note: My partner doesnt like to dose at night, as she hates the early starts, I dont mind at all and think it helps the whole days rythym. Anyone else have any experience??

Fair enough Simon, I made the assumption that your statement of its usefulness to cut down was a bit off. With weed i would think using a chem to cut down is a bit of a quick cop out. Im interested in if you have tried using GABA to help with things when your trying to quit? How long have you lasted off the weed? and moreso, what does this craving feel like? physical pain or just an ich to have a smoke? Torsten recently reminded me of pots ability to mask or confuse blood sugar levels, are you sure you havent been regulating your insulin/sugars with pot? It may explain why i like a smoke after eating sometimes.... I also kicked a major ice habit many years ago, with no help either. Maybe im just lucky. Very lucky compared to some.
You may also be dependant on specific cannibinoids for their medical action, perhaps pot "heals"(very loose wording)/stimulates certain areas that you are not "healing" or satisfying with nicotine. Perhaps there is an underlying problem that you may not be aware of that you are actually self medicating with pot?
Im not trying to be a doctor here, just interested in how your addicition is taking form and what its effects are.

True, wasnt modernism 50's? Geez i cant remeber my art history anymore..

Over a period of three weeks the rats learned to enjoy the effects of synthetic THC and frequently self-administered the drug. By comparison, rats that received saline solution did not press the lever often.Frequently isnt an addiction, its just the rats curiosity
70% reduction in thc consumption, how high were the doses? not enough info for my liking... more like a pre-introduction to a sales plan.
They arnt searching for a cure for physical addiction, because non exisits, physical addiction that is. I find this all to hard to believe... if you push the point to the outreaches of the envelope, of course you will have unwanted effects with any substance. I think this drug (MLA) be more applicable to blocking the massive dopamine release of meth, weed pales in comparison re dopamine release. I guess its just another analogue away.. geez dont want to release all our dopamine blocking related products as one would we?? That wouldnt make our profits soo huge, and wouldnt allow more expendature for the next analogue.
This scares me a bit, from the source....
"About 10% of the people who experiment with it go on to heavy use and have trouble voluntarily giving it up. I think there is a proportion of the population who need ways to make them stop."
"Need ways to MAKE them stop!!" what the fuck? are these guys gods?? who wrote this crap.. tellin people what they need... sound like marketing to me...
Its not about helping people, its about the dollar, and telling people they cant stop. Ive been a hard smoker for 15 yrs now, and stopped cold turkey the other week for 14days. No hangups, no shakes, no physical symptoms at all, maybe a few weird dreams but thats it. From 1-2g a day of the best and strongest weed this side of the kush mountains(blunts and pipes only) to nothing at all, and i was supprised how easy it was. Only one little craving just after dinner once, that passed in about 30 seconds.
Why waste all that money on cannabis addiciton, when there is bigger and worse things to worry about...oh, but if there is a pill that will stop you smoking weed anymore, well thats just great isnt it? Easier, faster and the chem/pharma companies grab a large profit margin at the same time. They tell you that you cant give up, convieniently they supply you with a drug that will help.
"Each patient is different and what works in one might not work in another."
That just about sums it all up.

Hey Kenny,
Im possibly the worst "hanger-on-er" that i know, i just love the nostalgia (sp) and history that goes with it. That with everything tho, sometimes i feel like a bloody 70yr old, talking about these "whipper snappers" that just dont know what its all bout. Everything is quick and easy these days... its just a pet hate of mine, I dont mind embracing technology, i just dont think that technology replaces good ol hard work and balls.
Speaking of name dropping, my best bud (Dj Reflux- Funkoars dj) has just gone on tour with the hoods, to england and beyond. Its amazing to see the doors open up for the boys, the industry has always shunned hip hop, it was a big joke to them all at the start, glad to see all the hard work getting acknowledgement finally. Great to see them on Obese records too, independant all the way!! Fuck the big record companies!!
embrace the post-modernism you old-skool farts -
Did Warhol claim his art to be graffiti? or just pop art? If you infereing that stencil art is pop art your correct, pop art, not graf. I dont think warhol was into doing wildstyle fullcars, how can you compare the two?
Warhol was ok(i dont really think its that great, but it is ingenious and different) but i can see why some people dislike him. traditionalists see reworking old ideas as just that, thats i draw my conclusions to as why stencil art is called stencil art, its not called graffiti is it.
I don't like the oldstyle pieces that are like a nightmare from the 80's Beat Street and shit rap films and the whole American thing.Well theres no choice. It where it all began, its a part of history and from those old styles progressed more and more stylez... crazy and free styles. Ignoring the history is not knowing the whole story. Many modern artist still draw insiration form those US shit rap films...
Its ok, i dont mind defending graf, my whole life i have run on the fringe of society and have to explain it to the uninformed, i took soo much shit about rap/hip hop/ graff and skating when i was young....even got bashed by bogans for it... now look at them all, hip hop has been pimped by the media for all its worth, as has skating and Dj'ing. Graff is one on the only elements left that hasnt been to whored out. Except, if you look at recent advertisments aimed at youth, then its ok to have spray and paint dribbles on a faded out throw up in the backgraound... its ok isnt it, cause it was printed on paper in a fashion magazine.... not sprayed on the walls.
Ah... ive used up my time on the soapbox tonight,
Thanks for listening all

Ah the sweet sweet smell of tuxans.. nothing beats it.... and the coverage... oh dont get me started on how well they fill with such outstanding colour!!
No caps or cans around anymore(although there is a satin black, fluro orange and candy pink out there in the shed:) ) I think Kab still sells fatcaps and fineliners, and da clinik and a few others still sell em too, no doubt there is plenty of nibs online too. Prob heaps in Germany. Im just trying to think of the cap combos i used back then it was such a long time ago... male/female cans etc...
Keep bombin, even if its only on paper, keep the flames alive!!
Nah, i dont see myself filling up my bomber jacket with a dozen cans nowdays either ;)

I find stencil art to be a cheap immitation of graff. Its almost like the new "cool" thing to do, how can it be more expressive than a full colour piece??
I LOVE the stencil art though. Absolutely love the creativity,freshness and cerebralness of it all.Serious? It another modern abomination of an old art for, lets get it out there as quick as possible as easily as possible. Some of them are even as blatently obvious as the old"Meat is murder" theme, not much different. You really need to check out some real pieces HG, some are out of this world.
Where is the time and effort put into a decent wall or even a freehand stencil(ill get some pics soon, theres been a bit sprouting up around my 'ol don barber). Stencils were frowned upon in my days, its the easy way out...wheres the canwork? just like lots of things these days tho...easier and quicker... more of a political statment than an artpiece, dont get me wrong, they are clever,and it is are, but i wouldnt call it graff.
PD you from down south? The Mount?

The following is my viewpoint on the issue, being a former oldscool bomber
Ok, now it is art. The skill level is undeniable. Anyone thats sprayed a pressurepak at home knows it aint rocket science, but doing it with great finnesse, colour co-ordination and fine lines is a skill not many share.
Most of the artists would be great graphic designers(but who need more of them??) conceptual artists, free hand painters and comc book doodlers, but in reality the ammount of writers that actualy secure a job in a position where their skillz are put to use is minimal, under 2% of exceptional artists i would say. They do find their way in socitey, normally as bedroom artists(nowdays whe have the internet, we didnt back then) or they grow out of it and follow another past time. Funnily enough they make their way to signwriting companies
A few highly skilled fellows have started their own business/design and street art shops, only a few tho. Check out Kab's effort, he was slighlty older than me, was a bit of my hero AREA101
How can you compare ones skills or medium to the blatent advertisment bombardment thats taking place today? Just because its "sanctioned space" i cant be used by anyone else than advertisment companies?? So if you pay its ok to plaster up crap ??
Im actually fond full colour pieces around Australia's cities, its a great splash of colour in what would be an otherwise dismal grey and drab toned society. Much like drugs what drugs do to the mind, graff does to the tone of industrial boredom. I shouldnt have to draw the similarites between them, as they walk hand in hand anyways, most graffers are acid or weed inspired anyways.
Asking a graffer thats used to vibrant pieces to stop and do legals is like asking a singer to sing in the shower and not on a public stage, its just not the same. The environment(scape your putting paint to), conditions(weather, rain hail or shine) and pressure(laws, security guards etc) all atribute to your work, style and end product.
"Tagging" is merely a rite-of-passage. Its the way for the young graffer to get his name up, so people know he is around. These days, I can tell whats going on around here, who the new writers are and how their style has developed over the years just from a stroll around the shopping malls or driving through town. Other writers tend to do the same. Its not for any real reason that your keeping an eye out, but being a signwriter also you tend to look at everything twice anyways.
Now and then you see and oldscooler thats decided to bomb for the night, probly the first time in 10 years. It makes you smile and reminise about the old times, and you wonder what they are up to now... Its weird. Its like a little note in the walls of history, you know they are still active in the community or arts, and you can see how they have matured, and sometimes, how pissed they were!!
Generally tagging is the first skill that writers learn, as they learn more about letter shapes and designs, it takes them to the point of going all out on a full colour car(train cart) or wall. Then it builds from there, one or two crappy efforts, you want to get bigger and better, better location, more visability etc etc...
Graffiti is not just the tags you see around the place, its in all forms of advertisment, billborads, neon lights, for sale signs, web banners everything. Advertisers are constantly ripping into graffers at the same time using their exact same means to put their point across. I guess its whos paying the dollars right??
PS; I never trashed or destroyed any property i ever sprayed on, removal of my work was the only cost to society, when they deemed it unacceptable.. Ive plastered more signs up for corporates than i ever have my own work.
Hope that helps in giving a bit of insight into the world of graffers, and remeber, all graffers are different and all have differeng reasons for their work.

A criminal organization isn't going be in business if thats type of ripoff occurs.Ha, that a funny one!! You dont think so?? geez if the world was such a nice place.....

The question "who" doesnt matter, and we all know "why". Its just another heartless cash grab. Thats all. Its always been the way, even in the old days of frankincense resin trading, they worked out how to cut it with other cheaper resins. Sometimes people are simply heartless.
DQD, its a horrible sight isnt it? makes some of the more "deadly" diseases look tame compared to the horror of lung disease. I personally stoped seeing my grandpa because it was hurting me to know how much he was going through, and i wanted to remember him for the man he was, tall strapping and mega fit 120kg burley german. By the end, only 3-4 months from fit to passed away and he had only been retired for one month before hospitialisation, he was 40kg of bones and sinue like you said. Ive never seen anything like it.

Prohibition again rears its ugly head, sad state of affairs for med and rec users...
I assume if the glass particles are small enough, which it sounds like they are, you would actually inhale some particles, resulting in a condition similar to aspestosis, from glass fibers or grindings, when even small ammounts are present in lungs tissue, they agitate and litteraly grind and cut the lung aeola and cause internal belleding along with deterioration of the lung, eventually you drown in your own blood. Fucking horrible, my grandpa died from it, its not pretty at all. I would hate to see this practise happening here.
From what i can deduce, they would be using a type of sandblasting grit or something similar. It comes in a range of sizes and textures.
Good to see the medicos picking up on it and at least posting a warning about it.
There was an article a few issues ago in Softsecrets about pot contaminants and crap people are putting into weed. Check it out, one of the best bi-monthly mags ive seen in ages.

You can always just pot em up and keep them under the eves of the house, and move them out on good days and bring them under cover when needed. Just watch watering and allow a rain or two over the winter. Shouldnt be a problem, root formation will be slow, but it will happen.

Yep, I believe that C#1 and C#2 were seed grown t.bridgesii individuals from the same seedlot when i purschased them. They show differing traits tho. C#2 isnt that spike free, but it pups ever so freely!! Ill introduce them later on, keep posted

heres the snippet from the other cannabis legality thread...

"Ive been thinking of a postive way to tackle some of the problems with the weed laws here in SA. Ive come up with a tangeable guidelines for personal outdoor and personal indoor cultivation.
Ok, here in SA, you can have: 1 plant outside no worries, $150 on the spot fine, if you pay it no problems.
You cannot have: ANY Indoors. Now if you get caught, with only 1 plant inside, its a court appearance, consequences and record.
Thats not fair, its the same one plant on your property, just a different location. Wheather it be inside or out, its still the same plant.
Now bear with me here, I can hear some saying.. but yeah, indoors hydro grows quicker, makes more money quicker... ra ra rah. It should be illegal. No it shouldnt. Not at all, infact, pot isnt the problem, cash and other drug swaps are the problem. I know that the cops are worried about huge ammounts of cash made from indoor growrooms here in SA, and thats why they made indoor growing illegal here now. No other reason.
If they are really after the big guys, fair enough, thats fine by me. I have a way to seperate us indoor "med/personal smokers/cultivators" from the average cash joe trying to make another 30k a year off pot he doesnt even smoke, let alone respect.
Ok, now onto governing indoor growing. Wattage is the ultimate governing factor regarding yeild, therefore potential yeilds can easily be controlled. Now weed is illegal cash for some, or heaven sent medication for others. By governing the allowance of wattage in the grow area, you can therefore govern the ammount of cannabis grown in that area.
I propose a 800-1200watt limit for personal indoor use/cultivation, anything over that and by all means take them to the cleaners. Comercial cultivation or whatever.
Indoor, 800-1200watts will yeild between 3/4 to 1 1/2 pound, every 12 week cycle. Depending on conditions, genetics etc. If you can squeeze more out the good on you! You will find there will be a threshold that will be reached, genetics will be the only governing factor then, and at around a pound every 12 weeks, thats about 1 and a bit ounces a week, more than enough for most med/personal users.
For some outdoor cultivation is not possible, but cultivation of natures gift indoors is. Why should these people be singled out as criminals? it just doesnt make sense. Thats what happens when people that make laws just dont fully understand the actual workings behind those laws. Ive seen SA go through all the major weed law changes, and this last change is just a joke.
I know my wattage governing idea will work, it has to, there is no other limiting factor. Ill cop a $150 on the spotter for under 1200 watts no worries, cop a criminal record, no thanks!! "
