    Hey all.

     

    Am getting rid of lots of stuff but two things I'm trying to sell I'm struggling to find a place that accepts them because they are tobacco related. One's a shisha/hookah, and the other an Arizer vaporizer. What, if any, would be an appropriate section to advertise them on here? Seed sales just doesn't sound right. Is it even allowed? I looked around and on here and just got more confused.

     

    Anyway, if anyone knows if I can post em, and where can you let me know please. So far the only logical place seems to be here in Chill Space but I just don't know. And I'm sure T doesn't need me pissing him off and causing more work for him either by sticking up ads in stupid places!

     

    Cheers for any help.

    Just out of curiosity WC, are you talking about SBS in general, or the Viceland channel?

     

    And fyzygy, I totally sympathise with your reference towards Israel (and Palestine implicitly I guess?). Its something very close to my heart. For the sake of keeping things peaceful and diplomatic, I'll only say two things. 

     

    It's amazing the amount of clickbait trash on SBS these days generally speaking. 

     

    It's amazing that fascism can be inherited by the very victims themselves of fascism. 

     

    Time to shut up now :)

    Daytura or something? what could the mystery weed  be

    Apparently it's causing blurred vision, tachycardia, delirium and hallucinations. Sounds like anticholinergic toxicity. assuming a weed is the culprit, it sounds like tropane alkaloid poisoning.  datura or another nightshade are a good guess

     

    anyone for spinach and poppyseed salad?

     

     

     

     

    Yeah I was trying to think what the mystery weed is too. Didn't even think of some sort of tropane. Reckon it's a pretty good guess though.

    I don't have anything about legal stuff etc to add but from just learning about entheo stuff generally is pretty much what Alchemica said.

     

    I think it's illegal but is one of those laws that are only enforced in a discretionary way by police. So if it's a grandma's garden or you have a few to decorate your garden, you should get a slap on the wrist at worst. Like Alchemica said, lance them and you risk trouble, same with growing lots of them. 

     

    I remember reading about that guy in Melbourne. He had grown pretty much a whole garden full, including in his front garden for everyone to see. So he basically grew a crop at home.

     

    If you grow some in your backyard, unless you have a complete and utter nosy asshole of a neighbour, there's not much to worry about. 

     

    I think it is somewhat similar with trichos isn't it? It's more of a discretionary thing again, so long as it's decorating your garden and not in a pot in your kitchen. Also, that law about 10kg of Pedro being treated as 10kg of mescaline by the law seems completely fucking nuts, until you realise it was probably some dick of a politician got it passed through the govt.

    I would've happily given you some but I gave my whole (pretty big after 10+ years) collection to a mate last year.

     

    I wouldn't worry about Australia Post delays too much. The ones over ten years old still worked well, under a microscope of course.

     

    So long as you keep them in a fridge in an airtight container they seem to last for ages. There were three or four different genuses (genii???), some sent from the UK too. Even the wild ones were good with a bit of extra work, not just the sterile ones. But he did the most obvious ones first no probs, which were some of the oldest.

     

    I can appreciate your concern for sure, but a few extra days in the post shouldn't make any real difference if they're properly packed dry. Saying that, if you can get some from WA if definitely wouldn't hurt.

     

    Happy microscoping mate!!!

    "the NCAI opposes efforts by states and local governments to legalize, decriminalize, or otherwise authorize any and all uses of Peyote and its byproducts by non-American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/ANs) Peoples as it endangers AI/AN religious, cultural, and ceremonial practices"

     

    I guess they don't like our gardens very much :(

     

    That's a bit confusing? Perhaps they mean well minded people trying to reintroduce privately grown plants to the wild to boost populations? I don't know really. Obviously reintroduction could be a bad idea but private gardeners having them in their collection seems a bit extreme? Poachers aside of course.

     

    Or is it a more religious thing of respect for the plant, their ceremonies and their religion? As it is sacred to them and their rituals and should only be used for that by them rather than growers having them in collections? If they're anti people just getting high for fun I can fully understand that. It's a pretty broad picture to paint though if you consider lots of people on here and how for them it's a journey, not like tripping balls at a doof or something? I dunno, I'm quite confused.

     

    Also, how do the Alaskans get it? Through their southern brothers/sisters? Must be impossible for it to grow up there right? Unless it is grown in a greenhouse or something? Which just takes you back full circle doesn't it?

     

    I don't know.....I know almost nothing about American Indians and absolutely zero about Alaskan Indians.

     

    Interesting article in any case.

    Thanks fyzygy.

     

    Hard to disagree with any of that. I really appreciate your input.

     

    Sort of hoping micromegas and Mr Trout spot this and have time for some input. That would be awesome because I'm sure there's others but those two dudes have knowledge way beyond all of us.

     

    Fingers crossed!

     

    But once again, thanks slot Fyz. Cheers.

    Grammar and spelling - still can't type properly

    This came through on my google scholar alerts just now. Sounds potentially like a good read, and I thought it might be of interest to some of our members here who are clued up on all this, but also for the rest of us less scholarly in this stuff. I haven't had a chance to read the whole thing yet but skimming through, it looks quite interesting.

     

    The full copy is on researchgate for anyone interested, but I've also tried to upload it, so hopefully that works and makes things a bit easier.

     

    The researchgate downloadlink link is -

    Not too sure if this is the right place to post it but hopefully it's a good read for at least some of us here.

     

    I'm certainly keen to read any thoughts by any of the awesome folk on here.

    Culturing cubes from his blood is pretty bloody scary!!!

     

    Despite him being in a pretty bad place to begin with, I wonder if he was thinking along the lines of how researchers like Carhartt-Harris and co inject their participants. Problem is, there's is pure, synthesised in a lab, quality assured and costs something like US$1000 per gram. 

     

    Either way, culturing cubes from blood is scary enough, hate to imagine where else in his body mycelium was growing.

     

    Interesting for a case report, but I hope he makes a full recovery physically, and gets some excellent help mentally. Bipolar 1 is hard enough when medicated, unmedicated it's orders of magnitudes worse.
