I think this is my first login in about 4 years. Good to see some old familiar faces are still around. Hope everyone has been keeping well!

How's it been up there? Heading up there shortly..

Another thumbs up here.

Ayahuasca ceremonies are pretty easy to come by in Ecuador. To a lesser extent in Peru and Bolivia. You will find San Pedro in Peru and Bolivia too. Mexico is well known for its tourist mushroom culture, around Palaneque and other ruins. Cocaine is rampant in South America if that's your thing.

Interesting. So is there any evidence to suggest that variegation increases or decreases alkaloid content of cactii?

Bhang/pot/hashish/whatever. When I was there, I saw what looked to be HBWR growing inland (Hampi, Karnataka) and Daturas of some type growing coastally (Varkala, Kerala). Collected some samples, but didn't 'sample'. Can anyone confirm (photos below!)

3-4kg is a hell of a lot. Do try and consider others and more importantly the sustainability of that patch.

Agreed. Though as someone else mentioned, it's good entertainment.

Bridgesii's tend to do that moreso than others I've found. Often the result of too much moisture. Nothing bad will happen, just look a bit unsightly. Try and keep it dry tho.

The study makes no note of anything quantitative. Generally speaking, women are smaller, and thus have a higher dosage per kg of body weight. Maybe people who take more get higher, and come down harder?

I feel your pain. Three tips eaten out, and one down the middle causing a 2 foot pach to fall in half. Unhappy with the catterpillars!

Beautiful photos!

I read that book 'Lysergic' and it was shocking. Poorly written, indulgent and not all that informative. Oh well.

I've seen everything from a few mm up to 7-8cm, on the same and on different plants. The older/lower pups tend to have the longer/fatter spines

I've bought a load of t-shirts over the years and I find that most American places sell a size larger than what you'd expect here. I'm roughly 5'10", average build and a medium shirt is the go..

Do a google search on: lightbulb vapourizer

White flowers only? I was under the impression that SD flowers were purple initially with a white fuzzy 'thing' that develops as the flower matures? ie http://www.erowid.org/plants/show_image.ph...rum_flower2.jpg

Great idea, go for it!

Heh, I had one of them too. I think VS&L put them out. Green plastic with yellow antennas.

When I was in Peru, I only found them at pretty expensive tourist prices, even in the local markets. Hmmm. Friends and fellow travellers had better luck and found them at local prices and say "they're certainly not the nicest thing in the world, you need two to fill you up and make sure their hair has been removed"

I like techno, and used to love the old techno bush (Junglepunks) and warehouse (old Vibe Tribe crew, tribot etc..) parties put on in and around Sydney (primarily). Great times, great parties. Good techno parties are few and far between these days.. I love the idea of doofs, but I'm not a huge psy trance head though I do appreciate the dark and light sides of the music. I find 8/16 or whatever hours of trance a bit much, just as I'd 8/16 hours of techno too much. There needs to be more variation! At at the irregular doofs I have gone to, there always tends to be an amount of aggro or stand-offish people, or people that act rather thoughtlessly around others, whatever substances they may have taken. As a result, I can often feel uncomfortable and certainly don't achieve the psychedelic utopia I'm looking for should I head down that path... That said, I've met quite a few cool people and in hindsight have had a good time at most parties over the past few years..

For the fans. (Hi Creach http://afxlive.watmm.com/autechre/audio/

I wonder if this is in lemon juice also, just thinking of that lemon juice + psilocybin mushroom thread that was bouncing around a week or two?

Nitrous Oxide - a ringing sound, with everything else either drenched in reverb or sounding like you're in an echo chamber, sometimes pulsating. Marijuana - a tinnitus like noise in the ear, often accompanied by some sharp pain in the ear/glands behind the ear, possibly attributed to a rise in blood pressure? LSD - more than once, chanting, whist coming down. Sounds like the infamous section on The Beatles' "I am the Walrus" that forwards says: "I have to admit it's getting better. A little better all the time." Backwards (the chant): "After all, Paul is dead. He lost his hair, head." A bit odd... Has also made 4/4 techno sound like drum&bass at times

After reading this thread and not wanting to hijack it: http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/inde...view=getnewpost I'm curious as to any reports of people using B.Caapi leaves rather than vine sections as an MAOI. The little information I've dug up indicates that yes it can be used, but there's precious little on quantities used, as well as qualitative experiences (especially in comparison to P.Harmala and B.Caapi vine sections) Anyone got anything on this?
