Yes well done indeed! Your post got me looking around the old internet, and I've never come across 'Ask Dr Shulgin' before. There's some great reading in there - here's the URL for anyone interested. http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/shulgin/blg/index.html

Amazing stuff, can't wait to see what else they can find out there. They were saying today that they found drainage like ravines. Whether they are due to once flowing liquid or geological malformations they aren't sure. I'm not hopeful to be living on a martian colony in my lifetime, a trip into space perhaps...

haha, I've got a CD with music like that 'Porn Beats', worth checking out if you're into the genre.

I've read of gnomes running around with 700g and not really experiencing hugely profound effects. How much is a large amount of material?

I saw similar 'witchcraft markets' in La Paz, Bolivia. I was a bit less aware of all things ethno back then, and didn't really see anything that stood out, as much as I looked. I did notice things such as dried llama foetuses to put under your house for good luck though! I'll see if I can dig out the photos and scan them.

Amazon is a great place to start, especially for hard to get titles. Works out reasonably cheap if you're ordering a few at a time. Otherwise your larger local bookshop (Borders, Dymocks etc) can often order what you're after.

A mate of mine has two of these and loves them.http://www.cheapvaporizer.com/

Yep, second that entirely, it doesn't contain a single equation. Also worth reading the first parts to brush up on relativity, or to have it explained if you're unfamiliar with it in the first instance. Great book.

From memory, no, but I'm not going to try and do a mathematical proof on why it is so! (This is a straight out maths question yeah?)

Generally speaking, tricking you into sending them money in the promise of receiving a lot more. Nowadays, there are people fighting back and baiting the scammers, with often amusing results. See http://www.419eater.com/html/419faq.htm for a general description of the scam and http://www.419eater.com/html/letters.htm for some baits.

Slightly off-topic, but I was given a mint flavoured licorice root lolly the other day (think natural tic-tac) and I can safely say it was one of the worst things I've had the pleasure of tasting. I love licorice, but this was bad!

I couldn't find an easy way, though there may be one. I think I got lucky cos I intially substituted 5 for 'e' and the rest came out after a bit of cursing and swearing. Bascially, all you're doing is substituting a letter for a number value.

Pretty shocking and sad stuff. 'Walk' was one of my favourite songs about 10 years ago.. RIP.

I think it's a great idea. Something interesting, but not overly out there like the erowid shirts. Shame I'm not a visually creative type..

I'm assuming you're talking about psilocybin/psilocin containing mushrooms. A big no to all of the above, in Australia at least. Quite illegal.

I dont think that superconscious death necessarily equates to the physical death that a human goes through. Suicide in a physical stae is final. Death in the superconscious dream state is made with the assumption that you will return to a lower state of awareness after dying and waking up. This shouldn't change if you translate the superconscious state to reality..

This may well be an old wives tale, but I've always been of the opinion that Commonwealth land falls under the jurisdiction of the Federal police. I'd say if the Feds made the effort to nab you for whatever you were doing 'wrong' then the punishment would be somewhat more severe. I dunno, this is just hearsay from when I used to go to parties in disused army bunkers (on army/commonwealth land)

nice

I think the lucid dreaming state works the most effectively.

Nice work, good stuff!

Would you _really_ want to take it every day? Surely that could lead into a pattern of dependence which could be ultimately undesirable? But it makes work easier..It's an interesting question and one I ask after witnessing coca use in Bolivia. The use of coca leaves in Bolivia has a long long history which doesn't need to be explained here. When I was travelling through the poorer mining towns, some people there are practically incapable of working without coca, the women would chew the leaves all day, adding a leaf to the quid in ther mouth is as natural an action as taking a breath of air, and is done just about as frequenty. The men would refuse to enter the mines without coca leaves. Within the cultural context, there is perhaps nothing wrong with this per se. The situation for these people is vastly different to our own, and coca is part of their way of life and helps them get through their day. However, there is a psychological and probably physical dependence on the coca alcaloids. On one hand I easily came to terms with the dependent coca use and am completely sympathetic to the people - why not use what you can to make your day more enjoyable, painless and so on? That's what we all want, right? I'd want to be doing the same...One the other hand I saw people probably disfunctional without the leaves. Where is the balance drawn? Now I'm not actually trying to debate the worth of coca, it is a special plant and has many, many benefits across a very wide spectrum. The same applies to Kratom. I guess the question is more dependent use vs. benefits. I think.

Yeah, it's quite sad. He has done so much for music as we know it, it'll be hard for anyone to exert the same influences again I think.

So the plants are uprooted and the roots exposed throughout winter? They cope OK with that?

Oh wow, that would be great! PM sent. That puzzle took me a while and quite a bit of paper to work out. I'm sure there was an easier way though, once I started I couldn't stop, hehe.
