I've not heard of any alkaloids in the leaf. However green plum - Buchanania obovata is said to have analgesic properties in the leaf petiol and midvein. It is traditionally use to treat toothache with the petiol used to plug the hole in the tooth, providing pain relief. I've heard the active alkaloid is a type of opioid but have not looked any further into it. If you are interested it might be worth your time to investigate further. This tree is very common in top end woodlands and fruits at the beginning of the wet as apposed to billy goat plum which fruits toward the end. I actually like green plum better then billygoat plum as it has a nice tutyfruity flavor. It is in the same family as mangoes and cashew nuts, Anacardiaceae. Good luck with your search.

New measures limiting the use of cannabis have come into effect as the Netherlands tries to crack down on crime and drug tourism. The regulations are meant to limit access to coffee shops - places that sell cannabis - to just Dutch citizens. Around a third of tourists who come to Amsterdam visit a cannabis cafe. The new regulations state that only Dutch residents should be allowed inside, but the government says it is up to individual councils to decide whether to enforce the law. The mayor of Amsterdam has made it clear that tourists there would still be granted access. Cannabis cafe owners, though, believe the changes will increase illegal street dealing and make it harder for authorities to control the lucrative industry. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-01-01/measures-to-restrict-cannabis-tourism-take-effect/4449666

Yep, etiolated from lack of light. Cut it off let it heal and put it in a sunnier spot. The pups should then grow as per normal. Remember to safely dispose of the flesh as it is evil and can get you imprisoned.

Stumbled upon this doco on youtube. This is the freakiest doco I have exposed myself to yet. The Cannibal warlords of Liberia. Warning: Quite disturbing. This place is hell on earth and its only the wreckage of when the real terror was taking place.

Thanks for posting this is the youtube thread qualia. Very enjoyable watching.

Beware of desperate trustifarians trying to swap you a faux skull made of wax and rubbed with orange oil or some other shit. It's desperate times and someone's gotta do the hard work for them. Don't let it be you. Note: you have been warned.

Sounds like the end for active Acacia spp. in NNSW. Hippies and trustifarians rip you heart out, there's no where for those trees to hide........... It's the end of the world, so all is lost......bar tickets to hyperspace. Do not waste time extracting your own, just make up a faux batch and trade it for some suckers hard work....... Morality is nie, tis the end of the world I say.

Wtf we're all still here. And to think I just spent all our money last night on gambling and prostitution. My wife is going to kill me! There might be some truth in it after all.

Here is some info on growing peyotes in the tropics - http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=25780&hl=%2Btropical+%2Bpeyote+%2Bhouse&fromsearch=1 Columular cacti tend to flop in the monsoon as the cells burst from overwatering and loose structure. Would be good to shelter them too. Rot isn't too much of a problem as they grow so quickly in the heat. Are you moving to Darwin or just your cacti?

The only thing that is going to stop the Scorpio gene is people not rooting in march. Earth hours in march so I don't think it's likely. Looks like us scorpions are here to stay. Thanks global warming.

There is a new push on to increase the use of naltrexone implants, drugs used to treat opiate addiction, but critics say the technology is costly and has been linked to several deaths. Naltrexone implants have not been approved by medical authorities and some experts condemn their use. But Perth-based proponent George O'Neil, who has been using the technology for more than 10 years, visited Sydney last week to try and convince the NSW Government to fund an expansion of their programs. "They're going to doctors who are saying, 'sorry we can't give you any medication to take you out of opiate addiction'," he said. "We can give you another free opiate from the Federal Government...but we can't give you any medication to take you off of opiates. That's a tragedy." Another of the drug's most enthusiastic advocates is Brisbane psychologist Dr Stuart Reece. Dr Reece says the mainstream treatment for addicts - methadone - does more damage than good. "In the brain, in the craving centre, there's like an accelerator pedal - one goes fast, the other one goes slow - and methadone rips the brakes out," he said. "Now how many of you would get in a car with no brakes?" Dr Reece and Dr O'Neil already have the support of one MP, radical Christian politician Fred Nile. Reverend Nile has prepared a bill that would make the implants part of a program of compulsory rehabilitation for drug addicts. 'Reprehensible road' But the proposed legislation has been slammed by Alex Wodak, the director of the Alcohol and Drug Service - St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney. "We know they're risky because I've seen with my own eyes patients who have had life-threatening complications soon after having a naltrexone implant," he said. "We also know that a number of deaths have been reported in Australia and around the world soon after naltrexone implants." Dr Wodak, who helped establish needle exchange programs and injecting centres in New South Wales, says the idea of a compulsory plan is outrageous. "Who's responsible if things go wrong, as they did in three cases that came before the coroner in August this year?" he said. "Can the patient's family sue the judge if this mandatory treatment kills the patient? I think this is an outrageous, reprehensible road to go down." Tony Trimingham understands the search for a magic bullet. He has been advocating for the families of drug users since his son Damien died of a heroin overdose 16 years ago. But he says people should be cautious about naltrexone use. "I've observed people who are doing naltrexone, either by rapid detox or by the implants - they fall into two categories; they're either evangelists, and they almost have a religious zeal into wanting to promote their treatment," he said. "Or they're very greedy, which is the other side of the coin. I know a lot of people who've been ripped off for sums of tens of thousands of dollars by people who really shouldn't be contemplating this sort of treatment." Commercial motivation His view is echoed by addiction expert Professor John Saunders. Professor Saunders gave expert evidence to a coronial inquest into the deaths of three patients of a Sydney naltrexone clinic, Psych and Soul. Grace Yates, 24, stopped breathing after rapid detoxification and naltrexone implant treatment and never regained consciousness, while James Unicomb died of a drug overdose three months after an implant was inserted, at around the time the naltrexone wore off. Professor Saunders says James and Grace were not suited to naltrexone implants. He says some medical practitioners are ignoring safety risks in the face of vast profits. "There are some practitioners who are motivated primarily by money, and some of the treatments offered over the years have cost $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000. It's a substantial amount of money. A lot of profit is possible," he said. "My experience is that those doctors and healthcare professionals who've used naltrexone actively have ranged from the very committed and very professional, to people on the other hand who I can only describe as absolute shockers. "People who've subsequently been deregistered, who've had conditions placed on them, who display an absolute unfettered enthusiasm for the treatment." Dr O'Neil admits there have been about 250 deaths among the 6,000 patients he has treated over the past decade, but he says the number is lower than what it would have been without treatment. "You're talking about six years later, seven years later, we've got records for 15 years. So when I talk about 250, we're talking about death rates that are lower than expected for that population," he said. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-10-22/push-on-to-increase-naltrexone-usage/4327532
