I made a post shortly after (re)joining making a reference and questions to whether kratom would be theoretically effective for pain relief for my specific issues, but since browsing after joining i have noticed a flood of "oh no, i got a splinter, please send me kratom seeds/cuttings). Imo this site since i have returned seems to be suffering from a big deficiency in moderation and admining. Simply utilizing delayed bilk admission will help weed out some problamitic users but no moderation of blatant illegal request along with many technical issues of site left unresolved really doesn't bode well.

Probably would be right as is likely the reason it is still grown commercially that way. I was just thinking that if the content of useful things was comparable then it could possibly allow it to be grown in trays on racks stacked many high instead of just 1 layer planted in a field. and also seasonal time(not sure if poppies even require that) and light would not really matter and could allow for perpetual replanting at any time.

Looking for some rooted cuttings or seeds, was gonna order from sab shop but they have been out of stock for as long as i've been looking. (am in Vic)

Missed this reply... Someone has already sent me a pm and offered me some, but hanks for the offer in reply. Hopefully they all go well and am able to sprout them, i have read they can be tricky at times.

Any one here have or breed guinea fowl? I was recently given 11 of them and may end up incubating eggs and raising chicks in the future but the 11(no idea on male/female count) are all siblings, i also have no idea about their parents but am wondering if inbreeding issues will arise if i just let them do their thing or if i should be making some effort to try and trade either all the males or all females to mix up the gene pool a bit.

I'm new to them but from what i understand.. The female call = damn, that's annoying... The male call = screw this, where's my gun... but as mine are all young it's just a generic annoying squeak for both male and female. I think once the are full frown you can tell the male and female by their appearance and facial features and sounds but when young it's more complicated(invasive).

I have noticed the store tab/button just directs to some blank template? I'm guessing this was intended to be a link or connection to the https://www.shaman-australis.com shop? If so ideally this would have a full inventory listing of that shop available via forum, but this can be a lot of work and if this is currently an issue then it could be best to just direct this link/tab strait to the main site/shop. I am taking a guess here but a lot of guests visitors may be finding this forum via google search results and be completely unaware that the main site and shop even exist. In an ideal world and where possible the forum/site may also benefit from a small iframe(or the like) somewhere up the top that cycles through shops new/sales/restocked/limited/etc that links to the inventory item in the shop.

Yea i was thinking about some geese before i got offered these guinea but i don't yet have any water bodies(am gonna put some dam/ponds in eventually) but there are a few dams near by and was pretty certain the geese would just leave here for there once they got bigger. had heard the would prefer pair bonding but if the ratio was off as in 1 male to 5 females they will just make do and from what i cant tell there is no easy way to sex them when young so not really sure what i'm dealing with in terms of ratio.

I'm hoping they will act as a bit of a snake deterrent, I'm on about 3 acres here and nothing but paddocks on all sides so I'm hoping they spend most of their time here, will prob have to remind the neighbor to not shoot them if they do stray over there though. I don;t really wanna do that here, there is a chance the odd fox might turn up and i don;t wanna limit their ability to run and hide if one does.

Don't itch(pick) your nose after repotting pereskiopsis.....

I have been doing some research(just for curiosity reasons) around the licence requirements for sale of herbal blend(non tobacco/nicotine material) smokes or smoking material. Is it just me and the research i have done but most regulation around sale of smoking products seems entirely based on tobacco/nicotine(aside from unit per pack/split pack/advertising and a few other things) regulations? Most actual written laws i can find only refer to tobacco and "used for tobacco items" but then i come across a bunch of council/bureaucrat/government workers that extend that beyond tobacco/nicotine with "eg" expansions. In the practical world we live in what actually holds more weight when proficient legal representation is applied? the written law or an interpretation of the law via a bureaucrat or some government bodies/persons interpretation or extension of it?

That's the thing i was thinking though, legal of not their gonna find a way to fuck you if you're selling cigs with some any noticeable "high" effect(because nanny knows best and all). But my thinking around this was simple as alternatives to tobacco cigs(quitting assistance basically) that contain no noticeable "high" effects but still have a pleasant smoking taste/experience. As in lets say I scrape up some grass from my yard, dry it out(happens to taste nice when smoked but has no other effect) ,sell it as a smoking mix, what is the actual legal requirements to make this a legal act in regards to licensing ? Any actual law or regulation i come across seems to oddly conflate tobacco/nicotine with "herbal" as only some interpretation of the law as is but doesn't actually math with the law as written witch is written as if tobacco/nicotine products where then only smoking materials that exist.

Several years ago i was at a mates place and he was smoking some plant that he said he got of a neighbor who he said smoked it regularly, he said it was not like a drug to get high off but just an alternative to tobacco, i had a couple drags off his smoke and didn't really notice ant effect that i could distinguish apart from the alcohol i had already consumed but it did taste quick smooth and nice compered to tobacco. I ended up getting a cutting of this plant some times after that and had in with a bunch of random plants i gave to my mom. I recently visited my mom and she mention that she had planted those pots and one of them had started spreading like a weed. I went out and had a look and the one spreading was this one he was smoking, now upon looking at it i can tell it's some type of salvia(not the good one) but then i thought i would have another try of it for some reason. After semi quick drying over that day and the next i then had some dry leaf that i rolled a cigarette out of, again it had very smooth smooth taste but not quick as nice as i remember(possibly quick drying?) i also did notice some very mild effect it was having but was hard to put my finger one. So to my question. Does anyone know what type of salvia this may be? all i know of the neighbor that my mate got it off was that he was Greek, so not if if they would help. and if not, Is there any place to test a sample of a material to find out whats in it chemical wise that wont break the bank. If if turned out that this plant was not harmful or no more harmful that tobacco long term then i would consider switching to it, but atm i no idea whats actually in it or what type of plant excactly it is so i don;t think its a smart idea to smoke it regularly(prob wasn't that smart even on the 2 sole occasions tbh)

Anyone know what there are, i went round my garden of a place i recently moved to and found a bunch of these all half eaten and mangled in pots. I was thinking the first two could be Hylocereus but no idea on on the 2 in last pic, the one on the left in last pic looks like 2 different types but it's all connected so unless some graft or something i think it's all one plant.

Thanks, yea when looking up images of Epiphyllum varieties the buds actually seem to match up pretty much, i will go out and get some better pics to compare tomorrow. thanks again. (i also came across some vids of common viruses they have that are now making me think they may be infected with something and not been being eaten)

Can anyone help me out to ID this grass? These are not the best pics as started to rain and was windy out there. I am pretty sure this is a Phalaris but not fully sure on the species, if these are not clear enough or lack the identifying parts i will upload better ones tomorrow.

But apparently nanny knows best... Yea have realized after looking into grow time that it would take a while before you can get a sustainable amount to use as needed but i think "again hypothetically" that it would be better to prepare now as it's been long enough that i know this injury and the pain isn't just going to go away on it's own. I also think with any form of pain relief substance there is also a double whammy potential for habit forming, even if the substance on its own has no addiction properties the sheer fact that it relieves pain can itself cause a habit to form. As in even if fairy floss was to limit or remove a chronic pain you would still have to be careful with a habit forming around it, so both them factors really need to be recognized especially if you don't have a hard limit of prescriptions given applied.
