  1. Thanks Torsten.

    I am glad to have such a respected member assist in my inquiry.

    I got the Idea it is a Nervosa or "wild coffee" from a picture in Christian Ratsch's "encyclopedia of psychoactive plants".

    Like you say pics can be deceptive.

    This thorough resource does mention "carthaginensis" in the same wild coffee/Psychotria species section as an ayahuasca additive and goes on to say the Columbian Makuna Indians say eating the fruit will induce perceptual alterations that can persist for days,nausea,weakness and fever........don't think I will try to find out the truth in that personally.

    There is no mention of the Alba species though it does say there are between 1200-1400 species.

    Are these proven as being usable?

    Cheers.


  2. Hi guys,

    I have some doubts over my Psychotria.

    Now it is fruiting I am wondering if it is a Nervosa.

    I grew it from fresh seed,and lots of TLC.One seed out of ten sprouting.

    I dont want to waste my Cappi on a brew if it is not Viridis, as I was lead to believe,from the supplier whom I have no reason to trust.

    Here are some pics taken over the last months, I would be so thankful if one of this forums experts can help.

    If it is how long do I wait till the new seeds are ready?

    Cheers.

  3. Hi all,

    Just rented a new release DVD and was expecting a run of the mill western,I was quite surprised when I realised the thing was a tripout western.

    It was not at all anthropoligicaly correct but with the movies you must always expect comprimises eh?

    I realised where the show was going early on when the Indians had Shipbo design handicrafts and were blowing into thier cactus juice like Ayahuascaros. Turns out the whole plot is based on ethnogens.

    The end of the movie is a complete 20minute trip out like 2001 space odessey except it is all snakes and Alex Grey style transfigurations.

    The hero and the baddie actually have thier showdown in the DMT dimensions!

    Has anybody seen the DVD supplied with the box set from Coil with the russian ANS synthesiser,anyhow some of the visuals seemed to be a rip off of that pulsing mandala.

    They were supposed to be drinking peyote but it came on alot quicker and lasted shorter,it was actually more like some bloody good Ayahuasca.The other factual inconsistancy was they purged at the end of the visuals.Still not to worry it is a better then average DVD.

    It is called Renegade and stars Julliette Lewis(natural born killers)

    and Michael Madson(resevior dogs)

    I am sure the heads on this forum will enjoy it.

    Hey peace! dont flame me for my spelling!


  4. Thanks for your replies guys,

    They dont seem to want to hassle me,they just want $42.50 for the process.Then they will send the stuff on to me.They do strongly suggest I read thier enclosed brochure.I think my days of ordering from Deva in England are over.

    Ok,so from all reports I should be right to fly.

    Id hate to go thru all that fasting/psyching/brewing/drinking possible purge all for naught!I'll report back the results.I've had thier stock before so I can do a fair comparison.

    Cheers!


  5. Ive just had a mailing of Ayahuasca stuff confiscated by Quarantine.They want to treat my Black Cappi and Purple Jurema with 85 degrees celcius for 8 hrs.Can anybody tell me if this is going to totally ruin the "magic".The supplier was not totally sure but suggested that the alkaloids should be safe up to 140C. It will take me a month to get the goods returned ,can anybody inform me in the meantime?


  6. Thanks again for your enthusiastic advise Strangebrew.

    Ok I'll sit back and watch the show.

    The only explaination for the healthy development

    is total TLC.I pop off the bottom fronds as soon as they wilt and......the odd dump of hydro chemicals does marvels around the whole garden.

    Waste not want not.


  7. Yeah, back to my origional dilema.

    I was wondering if cutting the seed spike off might promote the branching.

    Cause the tree seems to have stalled since flowering,I mean more leaves are wilted and tatty than usual.

    My little card that come with the plant says slow growing tree .It does also say it has bright orange berries and mine have been green for months so I will wait and see what nature does. Cheers Strangebrew!


  8. Thanks for the advise,I will let it run it,s course.

    I first admired the tree over Rookwood cemetery where they have a couple of very old specimens.

    There are a few beauties in that park in the Newcastle CBD.

    Mine was about 18 inches when i bought it and after 5 yrs nurturing in a sunny spot it is 6ft tall and the seed stem sticks up another 18 inches from that.It is still yet to branch out .

    And still looks like a big Yucca.

    It is the sort of plant you need to put in early in you life and if you are lucky,and never move house, you might see it fairly well established one day.

    In a Central Coast nursury latley I seen some babies for sale for $25 each, I've got a 100 seeds so I'll have a go at propogating them.

    Thanks again for your replies.


  9. My Dragon tree,which Ive had in the ground for about 5 yrs now is doing great.At the start of Summer it thru up a flower spike,like overnight.

    The spike is still there with heaps of green seeds attached .Note; this tree has not started to branch out,I thought this could be the start of that process,but now i dont.

    Cause it looks crap,my compulsion is to prune it off,so I was wondering if a wise soul from this group could tell me what the proper course of action should be with a view to propagating the seed.

    Thanks.


  10. Yes Gerbil.Those are the sorts of things i've been pondering. Are trance visuals in the mind's eye,like a dream? So,do blind people "see" stuff

    in dreams?Or is all sight eyeball based.

    People prefer to trance out in a dark environment so light does effect the visuals.

    People who have lost their sight would have the visual memory to construct their hallucinations.

    Wouldn't it be a big treat if a blind from birth person was able to see wonderful mandalas and stuff.

    We know how hallucinations are generated,by changing brain chemistry and patterns.But what are the mechanics of how we percieve them.

    And what physical atributes do we need.

    Is the brain sending this psychedelic information to the eyes which is sending it into the brain as normal.

    Or is there like a hallucination filter or generator going which can inform the brain without the assistance of a set of retinas?

    The only blind people i meet are up the club on a Friday night.


  11. Having "heard about" some very lurid closed eye visuals I was curious to know what blind people experience if for instance they smoked some V.good DMT. Do they "see" stuff?

    I would imagine if they did "see" anything they would be the biggest users of psychedelics just for the oportunity to see anything even if it is "Mckenna's Elves".

    What do they experience?

    I have not seen any report/study on this topic.

    Thanks Guys.
