    I wouldn't advise anybody to use drugs - certainly not the hard drugs; drugs are medicine. But opium and hash and pot - now, those things aren't drugs; they just bend your mind a little. I think everybody's mind should be bent once in a while. Not by LSD, though. LSD is medicine - a different kind of medicine. It makes you aware of the universe, so to speak; you realize how foolish objects are. But LSD is not for groovy people; it's for mad, hateful people who want revenge. It's for people who usually have heart attacks.

    Check out my wayward peres lol

    That sound pretty good man, got any pics? 

     

    @G-Rant mate is Brazil different to udv? Udv is a Brazilian church right? I've got this pretty big OP kai that grows really fast, I could chop the main column if you want to trade for some viridis I don't have?

    Hey mate,

    any ideas on what you're after? 

    Hey G rant, I'm not too sure huh.. I haven't been wanting for much lately.. Maybe a small grafted crest would be nice, and might equate in value with postage etc. I'm not much help hehe.

    I've got a few different P. viridis variants, such as UDV, brazil, and maybe some others, if your interested Pedro? 

    Hey katu, my biggest viridis is udv and I have a couple others, probably not in need really. 

     

    If you guys want to offer something else that would be cool but at this point, with it not being a particularly sought after clone I'd be happy to chop it in half and send you each a piece. Maybe just PayPal me the postage.. Let me know :)

    divinity let my finger slip

    Don't concentrate on the finger

    Or you'll miss all that heavenly glory :wink:

    Sounds dirty, I like it B)

     

    In whatever way a person approaches me, I return like for like. If they treat me as father or mother, I treat them as my children. If they serve me as master, I accept their services as their lord. If they worship me as a child, I approach them as a child. Those who pine for me, I pine for. To those who see me as friend I am friend. Even for those who perceive me as enemy I approach as an enemy.

    Wrong words

    This has likely been posted before, I hadn't seen it and couldn't believe someone was able to realise this experience through media so well. I think it's at least a 10year old movie it's from too.

    I need to read more about her but thought I'd ask here first cos I'd love to hear some of your thoughts. So for the past few years I've seen depictions of the Hindu goddess Kali pop up, you know,.on TV, or maybe in online articles. I'm always struck by how familiar her face seems and particularly the face she is pulling.   

    Kali_by_Raja_Ravi_Varma.thumb.jpg.922f9b508aca435d7a3a683609548886.jpg

     

    If I Google Image search "Kali" it's like I'm looking at posters that I've always had up on my walls except maybe they've only been 15percent visible. Or say, you can only see them at certain angles. Not literally of course, it just how damn familiar she is.. Her face is much much more familiar to me than my own mothers. 

     

    Is it just the face shes so often pulling evokes a memory of a common human emotion? Does anyone who's reading this think she looks, like, way too familiar?  

     

    Seeing the pictures also makes me feel uneasy, like subtle fear, but more like I want to fight her back with my own machete/sword for pulling her stupid mocking face. It almost sounds like I'm locked in a fight of anger...  Dude I don't know, I don't really get into these kinds of things, I'm mostly a rationalist with mystic curiosities but I'm just so struck by her image and what it could mean. 

     

    I asked elsewhere about this and it was suggested that I attempt to communicate with this "Kali" and kill something to appease her. Lol uhh yeh, I don't think I'll be doing that just yet - maybe if she's way hotter than the photos she's been putting up. 

     

    Edit: in certain altered states I'm sure I've encountered a similar presence. 

    This guy:

    also pops up on a kali image search, but I don't know him, I'm sure he's cool though..

    "Mugwort’s strong camphorlike oils, when inhaled, open up chambers of ancient memory within the brain ..."

    Never tried it myself. 

    Headaches etc. could be an allergic reaction: https://www.verywellhealth.com/mugwort-benefits-side-effects-dosage-and-interactions-4767226

     

    Very interesting fyzygy, that quote really hits it on the head. My mind wandered to old memories that I never really think about, pretty run of the mill stuff but I was definitely taken on a journey to my past. I was reliving when I was staying with my nan in a small country town and used to spend ages at the video shop choosing 10 for 10$, not that interesting but a very lonely time for me and it felt like I was in the present dealing with those past emotions which were stronger than I had realised.

    A lot of folk magic recommend putting fresh mugwort under your pillow for lucid dreaming and recalling dreams.

    I'd heard that too, and hadn't taken the plant too seriously tbh. There's a reason this plant and many others were so revered for such a long time.

    I had a similar experience when I put some bay leaves in an essential oil warmer.

    From a quick search it seems both plants have a pretty high eucalyptol content. I wonder if that's part of it?

     

    "Eucalyptol comprises up to 90 percent of the essential oil of some species of the generic product Eucalyptus oil, hence the common name of the compound. It is also found in camphor laurel, bay leaves, tea tree, mugwort, sweet basil, wormwood, rosemary, sage and other aromatic plant foliage."

     

    Also found in cannabis, but I guess if true people would be tripping from their eucalyptus oil..

    I trimmed up one of my mugwort plants last night with the intention of using it as a tobacco substitute to get off those dirty darts. I put the leaves in my dehydrator inside at about 50c. 

     

    I also took a half tab of "zyban" aka welbutrin, an anti depressant med that helps a lot with cravings. I've used it in the past successfully to quit smoking. 

     

    After about 15 minutes I began feeling a little queasy and light headed (feelings I had never experienced from the zyban).

    This progressed into a mild maybe psychedelic state mostly with closed eyes, but some paintings on the walls were slightly swimming. There was a definite shift in consciousness.

     

    I turned the dehydrator off as the feeling was pretty uncomfortable and I was developing a headache. The vibe was a kind of witchy one, somewhat dark and taunting but still mild. 

     

    I've drank mugwort in tea before with no noticeable effects. Was I tripping from the pharma or the herbs? Anyone experienced something like this?

    A bubbling brew suggesting shapes

    Of objects unable to be tracked or traced

    The wind is howling through the trees

    I prepare the best I can - to rise up from my knees

    The time has come I'm here and now 

    The past retreats to shadows

    I pledge my loving vow 

    Control is lost, an illusion, it's dust 

    In the stars the moon and sky I place my shaking trust.

    formatting from dramatic effect :\

    So many creative people here! I've hit a bit of a rough patch and find that writing is very therapeutic. Pretty basic compared to all y'alls but here's something from me. 

     

      Why don't you like me
    cried the sorrowful moon
      are the songs that I sing
    a little dull and out of tune

     

      Is my light a little bright
    my face a little cracked
      do you not like the way
    that when I'm gone
        I come back

     

      Is it my eyes or my nose  

    the way that I frown
      my manner of speaking

    that is letting me down

     

      I don't often get visitors 
    up here in the sky
     well at least I have eternity

    to ask myself why

     

    thanks for reading.

    The last couple years I've collected way too many cacti and they won't stop multiplying no matter how much I pee on them. :wink:

     

    This kk339 is one of maybe five white whales I'm still chasing though so if you'd like to trade or preferably I could pay as my collection is rather basic and y'all probably got everything I have - let me know and hopefully we can work something out. 

     

    Much love to all in this community. :wub:
