I have 3 growing from seed, from 2 different sources. All are in my green house and one has a vine now almost 6 foot tall - just about at the top the roof on my mini-GH.

I see sounds, and some words as colour wave forms and patterns, but not all the time. I always have. My mum does too.

Yep - I'm a lucky dyslexic; was home-schooled and learnt a way around the reading side of things. I read the shape of words, and even whole sentences at a go rather than decoding the letters and blends that make a word up. Perversely, I can skim read pages much faster than your average joe! I'm also gifted with great visual-spatial conceptual abiltity and memory, and can knack things fast. (My own use of the word to describe my odd ability to watch someone do something, handle the tools and then pick it up with the greatest of ease ) Dyslexics of the world, Untie!

Yes and no. I know it's spelt dumb, I'm also dyslexic and can't be asked 1/2 the time. Glad to here I've got a good shot of getting some more flowers out of them

Just a note to those Kiwi's that PM'd me, the cuttings are just about ready, so with any luck you will see something in around the next week; keep them warm, wet and well drained when you receive them.

I was in my greenhouse after work today and saw some of my Salvia cuttings drooping from water loss, so I pruned them and took the branches inside to take the leaves off to dry and the stems to sprout. Sorting them out I found I had unwittingly picked what I think may have been an immature flower head Anyone seen one and can confirm or deny weather I was unbelievably silly?

I.E. Never

This is pretty much it. Scrubbing your mouth, cheeks and tongue with a toothbrush to exfoliate dead cells and rinsing with an alcohol based mouthwash beforehand are said to make it more effective. You can either spit it or swallow it afterwards - it has next to no effect if just eaten though; it is absorbed trans-dermaly through the mucus membranes of the mouth

google 'soapwort' - its a species of herb that can be used the same way

Just a note folks, chances of getting cuttings to survive a trip to Auz, AND their insane border control (it's my understanding that S.D. is #notallowed in auzzie no?) is close to zip. In the incredibly rare event my plants ever set seed, then they will be flying to auzzie so fast their little seedy heads will spin

Fresh leaf is the only way i have gotten results, tincture, smoke and dry quid did nothing - i suspect i'm a bit of a hard head. Hopefully i will develop some of the much vaunted 'reverse tolerance' from now on! This said, I remember reading that traditionaly it was only used fresh, and that when the ethnographer brought up smoking it the shaman was appalled and said words to the effect that 'this is why people have bad experiences with it- they displease the spirit of the plant by burning it, then wonder why the experience is so scary' Rightly or wrongly it works!

If they don't make it let me know. I've got bulk red (standard) and purple (semi-ruffled?) ones and a very little of some rarer ones that i'll grow out this coming summer

Hey Guys and Girls, Time for me to give a little back If you are after a salvia divinorum plant, and dont want to have to pay a mad price on trademe for one hit me up! First 3-4 people to PM me can have a plant in a pot IF they can come collect it 1/2 hour NW of Auckland. If you are faaaaar away and desparate to give this a go then i'll do 1-2 lots of (2) rooted cuttings sent out in the post [they can be a bit hit and miss this way though]. You will need to be in a tropical paradise or else have a warm spot indoors/a green house if you want them to thrive this time of year though. All my plants in pots are greenhouse grown so will need hardening off next spring before you take them out - most are big enough you might be able to get a few cuttings off them over winter to root and plant [depending on how much they grow in the cold] Fresh leaf is the most effective quid IMHO, but please dont ask for them if you are only going to eat them rather than grow them and propagate them

Bought a kilo of the herbage (for $20 - a steal compared to what i've seen it advertised for elsewhere - but definitely the real deal) gone through maybe 50-100gms of it so far and have a couple of dozen seeds to try that look decent, and more that look a bit immature. I'll keep you posted if i have any success at germination :-)

Damiana Tea has been indicated as reducing MJ cravings

I'm just starting down this path at the moment - made oregano oil in the past on ghetto style equipment, but now have a proper separator and i'm waiting on my tax refund so i can buy a decent sized alembic still designed especially for oil production.

I would give the person a remote. When they asked what it was for i would tell them; 'a shock collar'. They would say 'what shock collar?' I would say 'guess where it is!' and then wiggle my eyebrows at them. BOOM Instant trust

Yeah but i get conflicting google results: Silene capensis also shows something that looks very much like this: Which is what i had down as Silene Capensis.This said, it is listed as silene unulata by Wikki . . .

Awesome cheers! my P. Alba seedling is almost big enough i might be able to start stealing the odd leaf for this kind of thing from it !
