    love your posts in this thread mescalito!

    Teljkon... For somebody so enthusiastic about the scientific method, you don't seem to adhere to the traditional understandings and definitions with your use of words like 'automs' -maybe symbolic of your automatic thinking to reject alternatives not endorsed by 'the man'

    ...explain to me how something, ANYTHING can have "no science in its make up".. how can any physically real thing that we can observe with the scientific method... not have a corresponding scientific explanation or hypothesis?

    Spice, are you a troll? In a few posts now I've seen disbelief and ridicule of alternative theories without much to back up your doubts. There might be a Nobel prize for you in the furthering of establishment profits via rejection of novel discoveries.

     

    You're calling me a troll because I support the scientific method and reproducable results, ie tested facts? Oh come on this is getting more ridiculous by the day. There is a serious anti-science bias here for a bunch of people in 2010 sitting on computers and enjoying all the fruits of the modern world.

    If you want to believe in this thats fine, but realise its a belief, none of this is backed in any way shape or form by science its a case of a man using big words to sell snake oil. Its just a form of religion.

    I know ...you're thinking "Lye solution" to drop the precipitate=Danger!!!,thus the need to do any PH work safely....hmmm funny how many people make plant extractions using dangerous chemicals based on what they have read on the internet,yep right in the Corroboree under "Chemistry"

    They are acid/base extractions, one of the simpler chemical processes performed thousands of times a day and no mystery to man =p
    Strike 2 notes on a guitar and you should only be able to register the 2 notes...if one is harmonically different you will get a third note!.......where did that come from?
    Thats not magic.
    What does the spirit weigh on digital scales?
    I think people who believe in souls like myself use the non-physical loophole so we don't have to face the facts haha.

    How do you measure the energy transfer at the point of flashing from liquid to vapour?

    Any year 11 physics textbook can answer that.
    Millions of people take Anti-D's,Benzo's,Anti-psych's etc. and there is STILL not enough understanding how these chemicals work...but we take'em blindly because the doc said it would work......well there's a lot of pissed off people out there that did and wished they hadn't.I am but only one of them.
    We know exactly how these SSRI's etc work, thats because clever people spent a lot of time researching them and publishing their research for other clever people to check. Their effectiveness is a completely different issue. They are extremely overprescribed and can be dangerous. I would probably recomend them for 1/5th of the people that use them.

    No I haven't tried it, I don't make a habit out of following recipes off the internet and putting the final result in my mouth, especially when it comes to magical metals. When looking into it phrases like "ORMEs are said to have extraordinary powers of levitation, transmutation, and teleportation." pop up on google and set off my bullshit meter I don't need to eat it. I love the idea of the philosophers stone but this isn't it by a long shot.

    An average dose for SWIM is 3g dried material. So doing the math from the weight of extract gained this makes the dose about 500mg, not taking into account the loss during extraction.

    SWIM placed 500mg of the extract in a cap and bombed it. 10 to 15 min later the usual effects are felt (prolly would of been quicker on an empty stomach), breathing walls, euphoria, excitement, drunken movement etc. SWIM can't comment on visuals as the trip was interrupted and the "alone time" SWIM needs for visuals was not avalible. Duration was 3 1/2 to 4 hours with a smooth bow out that lasted about an hour.

    All in all going by SWIM's experience the extract sounds to be well worth the effort and beats material dosage any day of the week.

    Hmmm I wonder what else is in the 500mg extract besides the 15-20mg goodies :scratchhead:

    Powder them in a coffee grinder then mix with juice.

    The juice seems to hide the gritty texture of the shrooms and makes the dosing much smoother... so I've been told that is.

    Stir and gulp, stir and gulp. I don't think anyone finds this part pleasant but stir and gulp and it will only take 10-15 seconds. Fill a schooner glass with juice and stir the powder into that. Don't try and mix it with a mouth full of juce as half of it will be left in your throat on the way down. Full schooner mixed in glides down!

    Wash down anything left in your glass as well as in your throat with a lil water, then take your place and wait for the show to get under way!

    Yeap, works very well. Might want a toothpick for some of the grit depending on how fine the powder is :shroomer:

    The whole idea is pretty cruel imo. I remember seeing an episode of kenny vs spenny on fox where one slipped the other 3 hits of lsd and then spent the night messing with his head, dressing up as rabbits and demons and that kinda thing. Then he just wandered off out the front door and they panicked :slap:

    yeah...bloody Japs!!!

    Hitler is smoke screen to cover up what the Japs did eh? And what I/We have done? And who were Slobodan Milosevic, Pinochet, Nicolae Ceausescu, Pol Pot and Idi Amin covering for?

    Beware the yellow peril!

    A knee jerk reaction. Nice :P. When is the last time you heard about Slobodan Milosevic/Pinochet/Nicolae/Ceausescu/Pol Pot/Idi Amin? Have you ever heard about unit 731 or Dresden? I guarantee you'll probably hear about hitler or nazis (mostly comparasons) at least once a week if you have any interest in current events.

    He did some good things, made some mistakes, lost a war and has been slapped with alot of unfounded propaganda. Interesting how we never speak of the alied firebombing of dresden, starvation of post-war POWs, or the japanese unit 731 testing grenades, flamethrowers, biological weapons and surgical techniques on fully consious POWs. We NEVER hear about that, its always nazis did this and nazis did that, its a smoke screen designed to distract you from our own actions, and those of the japanese.

    Is this stuff available here in Australia if one was to look for it? I've never heard of it in my circles. Just wondering how common it is? I've looked around and its "scientific-name" is bromo-mescaline. Is this a close relative of mescaline derived from peyote or are they astranged "distant" cousins. Do they have similar psychedelic/empathogenic effects. Sounds interesting and wouldn't mind planning a meeting for this stuff and I.

    Look forward to your replies :)

    2C-B is 4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine. Its the phenethylamine analogue of DOB.

    'the wisdom of the elders' , or 'the sacred balance' ?

    I havent read these but can it be really accepted that tribal cultures in the past lived sustainably because of their inate understandings of the environment or more because there were so few of them that their 'footprint' was negliable??

    They lacked the technological capacity to do any real damage, and they were small in numbers. I think we are still so hooked to the romantic 'noble savage' idea.
