Mycot

Short term ?

The media and law enforcement being totally clueless when it comes recreational drugs is more often the case than not. What matters to them is to create hysteria using bad arguements and creating fear. Banning all research compounds is against the human spirit of exploration and of Science and Medicine and supports the drug war. The action here is akin to outlawing cannabis and many other substances because of comparing and classifying them in the same catergory as heroin. Guilty without evidence!

:puke:

Perhaps the Japanese board game "GO" may be a much better option for a growing mind.

The grey gills and the strange annulus (ring about the stem) of stropharia species are enough to kill any thoughts of edibility for me.

The vast majority of plants are often valuable, rare and threatened botanical specimens of high interest. Drug plants are those with high starch or sugar contents that can be used to create ethanol.

These are certainly a gymnopilus species although what species is hard to say without closer and even possibly microscopic examination. Many Australian gymnopilus species are psilocybin-containing and these appear as though they may well fall within the active clades though further examination would be required to elucidate this.

Found a few Coplandia cyanescens just some days ago. Find this quite funny. It's much like I treated Panaeolus subbalteatus untill I figured out how good they were.

Such heavy head-tripping. Damn, you'll positively scare off any potential partner as someone who is just stuck in their heads. I think I'll go and eat my lawn now.

Shrooms are the way to go. We need to stop the war against life and nature. And shrooms are fun guys.

I don't think that abuse is a clever way to use "drugs". And teens would do their best in an atmosphere like portugal where better life choices may be made.because not everything is banned. Not by some know-nothing know-it-all who wants to run your life and make your choices for you but by the intellegence and wisdom accumulated by individual and collective sovreigns. If we wait for the results of endless safety testing then nothing but ignorance and stupidity will reighn for another generation.

Andy's probably got a constitution thats just perculiar to himself. Like this ban mentality. Lets ramp up the pseudo-drug war.

Sounds to me like they haven't a clue what he took. Maybe he was just huffing petrol,... therefore we'll ban almost everything.

Read the shocking title. This looks like the work of anti-life people. The same type of people that want to ban a good number of Australian and other plants and any compund they don't know much about.

Banning things because you don't know anything about them isn't smart. Plastic on the lungs is as much urban myth as anything else. There have been little if any real studies ever really done on this linking particular compounds with particular effects. And which niods supposedly has this effect. Is it he CP series, or the HU compounds, or is it the flouridated compounds that are creating plastic. Perhaps compounds that have basic structures that don't occur in nature are the problem. What about the indole series, are they good ? What about structurally simple compounds based on the structure of anandamide. Not all things ought to be swept under the same carpet or be talked about in the same breath any more than narcotics and cannabis ought to be. And precision in naming exactly the precise chemical compound one is making claims of toxicity for would be a nice start.. This legislation is way premature, being based on the principle that these things are not sold at the bottle-o..

GMO's :- the dirty toxic secret hidden in your food.

Great pics and it's (still going) a good year for G.purps finds. What I'm interested in at the moment is G.allantopus. Ha Ha. you heard right. Recent phylogenetic research shows that this species may well be active being closely related to the Validipes clade. If this species is active then several additional closely related Australian species will also be active so if we can confirm activity it'll be a major step in Aust mycology. Results may be posted here or PM me.

Amazing photo's. Anybody want to do some id's on some of these?

Find a good size screen with good surround sound speakers and try "Ninja Scroll". I like good manga because as a medium what can be represented is only limited by the imagination.

Some cultures have used entheogens on frequent basis and as part of the culture their use may be by most adults. Our culture not only has little framework for their use but is largely also positively against their use.

No

A. More than one can describe.

Most ? There has been extremly little research done on noids. Next to none whatsoever. Toxicity studies have not been done and little other research is being done or will be done in our current climate. So we really know little about what does what because a certain amount of the time we don't even know exactly what compound we have. Many peeps are casting a really broad net of toxicity on compounds some of which there has been done no reseach on whatsoever. Many may be totally safe if we are to go by assumptions. Not only safe but also new areas for research and exploration.

This also apllies to the use of entheogens.

Akira is asolutely wild. When it came out it was streets ahead of anything else at the time. Many of the best manga are at their best as a front row thing at a theater and under these conditions this manga's particularly good with a few mates and Hoffman's potion.
