well, since Teotz' choose SEVEN plants instead of five ... i want to add Psilocybe mexicana and Salvia apiana on my "dream list"...but it is still way too short for a favorite plants list !

-Banisteriopsis caapi -Psychotria viridis -E. coca -Camelia sinensis M.speciosa

Noooo ! Stooop !!! don't use Roundup !!! It is VERY dangerous for your health, even in weak dosage ! Seriously, there have been talks and polemic about roundup recently, do a little search i think it was on the news. This "solution" would be far worse than the problem ! You would polute the whole garden for years. Well i don't know what to suggest...fire, boiling water ? spread cardboards on the lantana ? Is there a natural product that kills plants ?

^^^lol

My suggestion would be Acerola ! (malpighia glabra) I have a love affair with those cherries, it taste like candies, really. The problem is that you must eat it on the spot because the fruit loose it's flavour in a matter of hours (the acerola juice you can buy outside of the producing countries taste like vomit eeeek).I am planing to have a tree right by the kitchen window in my future home. And it is very healthy, one of the biggest vitamin C content in the world. On top of that it is a parent of Banisteriopsis caapi...it has the same pink flowers !

Inyan, i understand what you mean ! I just wanted to say that in Peru it is the custom to keep the leaves in the mouth without chewing. In fact this is like a quid, the actives are extrated via the mucosa, if one really chew the leaves it will go in the stomach in two or three gulps and Coca is less active this way (but it is still good for diahrea and altitude sickness).

i honestly don't know for the fresh leaves, but when i was in Peru i found dried leaves very tasty ! In fact, you don't chew, you let the mass of leaves imbibate slowly in saliva and let the taste and actives invade your mouth, so the dryness is not an issue at all. It is really delicious but i admit being an avid green tea drinker so i already like those kind of green leaves flavour.

^^^lol

to chew is way more "enjoyable"...

Wow ! This "mystik fire" is incredible, i think i'm in love ! Would the Vulcanicola be realy impossible to grow in subtropical climate like the sanguinea ?

wow, i've read on the Aya forum that this combo (B.Caapi and Psilocybes) is "too long, too weird" It must be something, indeed ! I guess that the hypothetical drinker would use twice less mushrooms than usual with this combo, given how strongly the Ayahuasca vine enhances the tryptamines.

by THH, you mean Tetrahydroharmine ? A fine pair with Bufotenine... Planthelper, i didn't know that Kratom was sufficiently active with the smoking route...wouldn't it be "too good" ? i'm afraid of that lol !

Cocoa+vanilla+chilli sometimes i snack on chillies that i'm keeping in a bag with bits of Tahitian vanilla (vanilla tahitensis) for the taste...instant endorphins delivering system !

Could you explain a little bit more ? thanks

there was an old tale in France that if you were dying by eating Belladonna berries you'll go straight to Hell while i do not believe in Hell and all that i still feel that there is an element of truth in this

wonderful garden ! I am in awe ... It's always reconforting to watch such pictures, knowing that those seeds and cuttings find good homes. Inyan, for identifying P.Viridis, i found that the base of the leaf is a good indicator and the undulated margins of Carthaginensis and Alba too, here is a link about that: http://www.southamericanspecials.com/produ...;products_id=89 Psychotria Viridis is slooowww indeed but what a character ! It is true that the majority of the sellers are selling Alba for Viridis, especialy on ebay.

ergot lotus farm in Thailand serious work: and then the Ayahuasca clown...

:lol:

Brugmansia lol

Looks like something deep is going on there good work and amazing story....and a warm welcome to the Ghost Bark in the 21th century lol...!

I never saw any proof about this. As for the nausea and bad effects, it seems to depend from the batch of seeds you are (hypotheticallly of course) using: i experimented (where legal) different batches of Colubrina and some seeds caused marked pain and headaches, some seeds caused only bliss. And it didn't looked like DMT at all. Some trees have a very desirable alkaloidal profile and there is a seasonal variability too: some trees producing dmt only seeds were found to produce only Bufotenine and 5-meo dmt some years later. I would not rely on the alkaloidal profile for botanical identification ! The potency is doubled when one consume a little bit of B.Caapi before (even just munching on a twig), it becomes more visual, deep and more guidance. Caapi is used in the preparation of Yopo by some indigenous tribes. Torsten, the Yopo you had was it already prepared or was it just the seeds ?

the flowering plant depicted in #3 looks more like Rivea corymbosa to me... from my actual experience of growing the plant.

Nardostachis jatamansi...it is endengered and the perfume is very very mystical ! I had Valeriana jatamansi once but it was a different plant from N.jatamansi, the smell was wonderful and weird too.

punica granatum

i trip because it is healthy.
