The world is truly a strange place Taken from LJWorld.com It’s not yet illegal, but federal officials and local law enforcement have pulled the popular, marijuana-like substance known as K2 off the shelves at the Lawrence store Sacred Journey, 1103 Mass. The Food and Drug Administration, along with area police, raided the store and a major distributor of the herbal mixture Thursday, leading to drug charges against a Lawrence man in Jefferson County. Jonathan Sloan, 29, owner of Bouncing Bears Botanicals, was charged in Jefferson County District Court on Friday with eight felony drug offenses, including the unlawful manufacturing and distribution of controlled substances. Jefferson County Attorney Caleb Stegall said Sloan was arrested after an investigation of a warehouse facility he owns in Oskaloosa, north of Lawrence. Bouncing Bears Botanicals, 14501 S. U.S. Highway 59, had supplied Sacred Journey with K2, along with other herbal products. Federal, state and local authorities seized more than $700,000 in cash from Sloan’s business and bank accounts. Numerous items, including thousands of cactus plants and 20 toads, were removed from the warehouse, according to warehouse employees and Sloan’s attorney. The charges come one day after law enforcement seized Sacred Journey’s entire K2 supply, other “ethnobotanicals” and certain cactus plants. Authorities on scene said the FDA was in charge of the investigation, but an FDA spokesman said the agency does not publicly comment on active investigations. The raid and seizure at the store came as a “shock” to Melissa Hart, who resigned as Sacred Journey store manager on Friday. She said the store was very careful in ensuring that the products it sold complied with state and federal laws. “We had no knowledge of anything that was illegal,” she said. The store reopened Friday. The FDA has yet to release further details about the investigation. Sloan’s attorney, Scott Gyllenborg, said his client was operating a legitimate botanical plant business, which he said was “one of the country’s, if not the world’s, biggest distributors of these botanicals.” “These are remedies. These are items used in religious ceremonies that are legal, that can be put to illegal purposes,” Gyllenborg said. Sloan is scheduled to return April 13 to Jefferson County District Court for a preliminary hearing. Prosecutors said more charges could be filed against him. Bond was set at $150,000. Johnson County officials raised public awareness about K2 in November, warning that the substance is a synthetic version of marijuana, though it’s marketed as an incense. Kansas House legislators this week passed a bill that would make illegal the sale or possession of the substances found in K2, but that legislation has yet to become law. Gov. Mark Parkinson has spoken in favor of the bill, which is expected to hit his desk this session. Sacred Journey has been at the center of the debate about K2, as store employees and customers have begun speaking out against a ban on the substance. The charges against Sloan • Unlawful manufacturing of controlled substances: Dimethlyltryptamine (DMT) • Unlawful manufacturing of controlled substances: Mescaline • Unlawful manufacturing of controlled substances: Lysergic Acid Amide • Unlawful cultivation or distribution of controlled substances: Mescaline • Unlawful cultivation or distribution of controlled substances: Dimethlyltryptamine; Chacruna; Illinois Bundleflower; Epena; Cebil Seeds. • Unlawful cultivation or distribution of controlled substances: Bufotenine, Epena, Chaliponga, Cebil Seeds, Colorado River Toads. • Unlawful cultivation or distribution of controlled substances: Lysergic Acid Amide, Morning Glory Seeds, Rivea Corymbosa. • Unlawful possession of certain drug precursors and drug paraphernalia: Plastic jugs and filters used or intended for unlawful use to manufacture, cultivate, plant propagate, harvest, test, analyze or distribute a controlled substance

If there is any skinny left can you put my name on one thanks Marsha Cheers Got

Hey BT You edited you post with pics I thought I was losing the plot Great pic of one of the mother plants is that the one further down the back of Mikes place? Hey marsha Michael is a fantastic old boy I loved talking to him when I visited his garden I have no doubt your Mike is Mike it just looked a bit different. All of mine are quite small and have 5/6 ribs so i get so used to seeing that form. Can you post a pic of your largest Mike? Cheers Got

Ok this all of the pics i could find I think what is throwing me is the number of ribs on marsha's if i can count right there are 7 where i think on the other plants there are 5/6 Mother Plant Pic Bush_Turkey Fenris Pics Gilligans And mine Marsha's What we need are good pics of the mother plants Cheers Got

I know what you mean PD when I saw Marsha's tip it didn't look the same From what I remember the mother plant showed the same form as my plant I’m not saying that marsha's plant is wrong it’s just interesting May be its just growing conditions I will try and pull all of the pics and post them all together Got

This is the largest one that i have at the moment There are a number of other photos that have been posted before by Bush turkey and Fenris I think they both posted pics of the mother plants as well I will try and find them later today Cheers Got

From what I have seen most super pedro or scop crosses that are made with bridgesii seem to have the fatness and shape of a scop and don’t seem to have the bridgesii spines or the narrower body shape. Is this true most of the time? If not can someone point me in the right direction? Is Eileen a hybrid or just a freak ether way she’s great clone (she has thrown more pups than anything else I have) She reminds me of the Monty python skit with the catholic woman popping out babies one after another Cheers Got

Ok the big blue Peruvianus is known as the big blue sucker The cutting was from a Perth member who I haven’t seen on here for a while This is a quote from one of his posts about this plant which he believes came from the SAB store At this stage I am going to continue to propagate this plant so I should have some pieces available next year I will try and contact the original grower and see if he can make any more cuts available Cheers Got

Thanks for all your kind words I have put some names up in the first post I will try and do the rest shortly I love the fact I can see changes in my cacti all the time pups popping out and some of the growth rates are amazing The retic for me is a must have it’s not the neatest around but it was free and it works really well The drippers are a commercial product that I acquired second hand (got to love family in the horticultural biss) I normally run 2 - 4 drippers per pot to get a good coverage The retic runs 2 - 3 times a week plus one day hand watered with ferts I’m going to sow a heap of different seeds over the winter and im building up grafting stocks so I think my addiction is well in check Cheers Got

FREE Cereus mid cut No this is not a San Pedro and it doesn’t have any "magic” other than growing into a beautiful plant in your garden I didnt hack up this old girl it was out for kerbside rubbish collection This is a big fat sucker so pickup only Welshpool WA Cheers Got

Just to give you guys the heads up There has been some talk about this on the Shroomery Good luck Got

Thanks Toby Seeds arrived today safe and sound Cheers Got

If you place your bid whith a snipe program at 5 to 10 seconds to go ( i like 7 seconds) and your bid is the max you are willing to pay the only way you will get beaten is by anouther snipe program or a bidder with a higher max if they manage to get it in in time If an item is at $50 at 12 seconds to go you may think you have it won until a sniper with a max of $55 bids whith 7 seconds to go and wins as there is no time left to place another bid This is my understanding of these programs I lost many auctions on ebay by being sniped in the dying seconds I now use quicksnipe and have i lot higher win rate at lower prices No I dont work for quicksnipe Cheers Got

quicksnipe.com This is the only way I bid on ebay One bid no pushing up the price pick your max bid set and forget Cheers Got

Inspirational If my other half could only understand my need to expand my small collection The members of this forum inspire me every day with amazing photos and knowledge and now a video walk around in this incredible garden. Thanks not only to the owner of the garden but all members of this great forum. Cheers Got

I think you need to look at the way their products promoted on a number of forums and their association with forums with the attitude of by three cacti cuts off BBB and get fucked up The constant talk of using their products to get wasted and naming the store had to be pulling the noose tighter all the time One would hope that Australian sites and businesses take note and promote and discuss their products in a way (as most do) not to attract attention from the man But then that’s just my opinion Cheers Got

Hi All A couple of pics of my new additions from boot sale and other members My initial thoughts were to plant the cuts as they are but after many hours of reading I decided to cut them into approximately 300 mm cuttings I think I have caught the cactus bug is there any help for me or am I done for. Any thoughts on IDs Third photo identified as Eileen the one in the pot as super pedro Should I cut this out or see what happens as it calluses ? Cheers Got

Hi Geezer Im trying to strike some red at the moment i have one that has taken by layering i dont now haw long it took to root as i just scraped the stem a bit pulled it down into the soil and put a rock on top I didnt check until months later and it had plenty of roots. To be safe it then went under lights in a propigation box and is going great I have also had a number of cuttings in the box as well for a few weeks now and have lost about half the rest are still hanging in there but no new growth as yet The cuttings that were a bit more woody seem to be the best All a planted in seed raising mix after a dunk in clonex I am going to keep trying differant ways as i have an old plant that has to be trimed so material isnt a problem for me Best of luck Got
