Some absolute classics, like "Tyrant in the house? Thorazine can help control the agitated belligerent senile!" Ads for injectable opium, methadone for pain relief, novocain, ether, etc. Check them out here.

I've been experimenting with a few different methods of curing and the best I've found yet is pressing the leaves much like you'd press flowers. Wait until the leaves start to turn yellow, pick a few and put them in a phone book with a heavy weight on it. Maybe put some brown paper either side if you're worried about the ink. Leave it for 3-4 weeks and you should get some nice brown (and very flat!) leaves that taste ok to smoke. I'm no expert, and I'm still trying out some other teks, but this is the easiest and quickest way I've found to produce something that tastes ok and still has a good kick to it. Also, in case you're not doing this already, pick off the flower buds as they start to form so your plants put their energy into growing larger leaves instead of flowers/seeds. If you let 1 plant flower it'll make more than enough seeds for the next season. Or if you only have 1 plant, just leave a few flowers and pick off the rest so you get bigger leaves. [ 24.

Root your cuttings to make them piss? :confused:

Hmm... I get the feeling we're being primed to accept stricter laws regulating the supply of herbs and vitamin supplements (as mentioned in this thread).

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies ( MAPS ) are having an auction to raise money. Items up for grabs include books signed by Jonathan Ott, LSD blotter art signed by Timothy Leary and Dr. Hofmann, equipment from Sasha Shulgin's lab, a guitar signed by The Cure and much more! God I wish I could afford just one of these things. Check out the listing here. [ 18. March 2005, 10:19: Message edited by: psybernaut ]

Why not try your hand at scamming the scammers? Scam baiting is quite a fun sport, here's a site to get you started -> 419 Eater. Some people even claim to have made money from the scammers

So that'll be 9.30am on Wednesday the 23rd for Adelaide people (according to this site). Please let me know if I got that wrong! Would hate to miss it.

BugMeNot is a great little extension that let's you bypass the login on sites that have compulsory registration or collect personal info (eg. Sydney Morning Herald recently went this way). Just right-click, say BugMeNot, and it logs you in - provided someone has submitted a login/password to the database for everyone to share. Works with most major sites.

Hey Jack, is this the article you're talking about? (The Intoxication Instinct, or Getting High Is Only Human)

Thanks guys, it's refreshing to see people being so helpful I'll pick out a few things from the SAB catalog and send an order soon.

I'm looking for Richadella dulcifica or Synsepalum dulcificum, commonly called the 'miracle berry'. Can anyone help?

Thanks for the lead planthelper. I've contacted Daley's Fruit Tree Nursery (they have a website at http://www.daleysfruit.com.au) and they only ship orders over $100. They don't have a retailer in Adelaide either, but it's a start... I'll keep an eye out at markets and nurseries, I'm sure one will find me eventually

So does using an alkali such as ash aid in the absorbtion of other things, or is this specific to alkaloids? A certain diterpene springs to mind I'm guessing it probably wouldn't help, but it could be worth an experiment.

Can't make it either Taking my daughter to the xmas pageant from 10-11. Might drop through afterwards and see if we run into anyone.

Lots of churches and hydro shops, an interesting combination... The Kava Hut would be a good place to visit, it's on the west end of Hindley St and open after 5pm.

A FOAF once made hash oil using a butane extraction. Buds in a tube, pass butane through it, evaporate off and you get a nice golden oil. A side effect of this is you end up with buds that have very little potency. They look the same, smell the same, taste the same, but just don't get you stoned. A bit like the MJ equivalent of light beer Anyway... if you did this you could discard the oil (oh the humanity!) and smoke the buds, satisfying the ritual part of the addiction without getting wasted all the time.

2 years could have been better spent obtaining the necessary equipment and learning how to make it...

Are you discarding the liquid and returning the solids to the pan, or the other way around?

I have a Nepeta Faassenii that was sold as 'catmint', apparently it's a hybrid of Mussinii and Nepetella.

I've been wondering about this as well. After a bit of digging around on the net, it seems most people say that catnip is Nepeta Cataria (which has white flowers), while catmint is a common name for all varieties of Nepeta, such as Nepeta Mussini (which is not as 'interesting').Please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I have heaps of audio recordings, pm if you want some cds.

Reminds me of the story about how it got it's name.Hieracium means "hawkweed," and the herb is so called because the ancients fancied that hawks would tear open the plant and wet their eyes with its juice to improve their vision. Maybe the sap is of interest, like poppies.
