Unintentional drug-induced deaths
Slocombe replied to fyzygy's topic in Pharmacology, Chemistry & Medicine
Cocaine is clearly the only responsible choice... -
First lesson was that DMT occurs in the bark of many acacias. This would have been around 1998 or 1999 and the forum looked very different back then (pretty sure it was still SAB).

I've just been reading about this (in fact, it's my reason for checking SAB today). In both cases it is clear the organisers decided not to bring in medical assistance when they clearly should have (and were probably hoping these people would just pull through so they could avoid outside scrutiny and some difficult conversations). This Guardian report on Jarrad Antonovich is saying that after his death, one of the people involved told his partner that he died "beautifully" and that “the koalas were making a special sound known to the Elders when the land accepts a spirit”. Dickheads.

Cheers, but hoping for domestic.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for S Recognita seeds. Good for a seed swap, or $.

Hey, here's a picture Suggest you caption it "Portobello Mafia". If you get sick of people asking what it means, set up a QR code pointed at this link and have it tattooed somewhere else on your body.

Options For Potent Anti-Anxiety Botanical
Slocombe replied to Ishmael Fleishman's topic in Pharmacology, Chemistry & Medicine
SAB did sell a product called 'Zonk' that worked amazingly. It hasn't been available for some time (or so I believe), but you might find something of interest in its ingredient list (pasted below). "Contains extracts of Scullcap, Blue Lotus, Hops and Celandine." -
Yep, I got the 404s, so it's not just you. Can't claim any insight into what the issue was.

Today, Scott Morrison said that the jobseeker rate (formerly known as Newstart) was $46 per-week. He's cooked, time to put him in a nursing home. https://www.news.com.au/national/federal-election/prime-minister-scott-morrison-wont-rule-out-election-deal/news-story/234ac33d95b393185e9c7e4490d21343

Possible use of insects and plants by Chimpanzees as medicine
Slocombe posted a topic in Pharmacology, Chemistry & Medicine
Came across this, thought it was interesting. Not sure where to put it, but it doesn't seem to belong in the chill space. Google podcast link. -
Got a 404 error on that link, but I think I tracked down the same article. Interested stuff.... https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20190701-why-plants-survived-chernobyls-deadly-radiation

Chinese medicinal mushrooms - FSANZ ban?
Slocombe replied to fyzygy's topic in Pharmacology, Chemistry & Medicine
It seems like an interesting decision by the FSANZ to describe foods with thousands of years of use as a ''novel" food that "doesn't have a significant history of consumption". Surely they could employ some Chinese speaking scientists to trawl through the relevant literature, rather than blanket banning things and waiting until someone is motivated and cashed up enough to ask for an assessment. -
The Fiji Kava website has powdered root powder for pre-order. My guess it's similar to the 'instant kava' stuff that was going around just before (and immediately after) the Kava ban. No personal importation by individuals allowed, but I consider this a win. If it starts getting popular in Australia, that's certainly a win for Fiji provided there isn't another moral panic.
