Tool Tool Tool. The Melvins/Fantomas was incredible. Get the DVD. Some Porcupine Tree. Mars Volta.

^^^ Perhaps if intercourse is the sole activity planned it might be a hindrance to males, but that's also why I keep choosing to use the word "sensual" instead of "sexual". It's more of an all-round erotic feel in the right environment, not like yohimbe in that the symptoms of increased blood flow to genital region so you almost don't have a choice to get horny. Because of the vasoconstriction and your top layer of skin loses feeling and becomes numb which translates - well to me anyway - to everything feeling furry and soft. Skin on skin (no matter where on the body) starts to feel like your skin is melding into the other person's skin. If your mind is that way inclined it's easy to feel the vibrations and energy flow of the other person as you seem to become the one entity, body and soul. That sort of thing doesn't really work when only one person has ingested, and I imagine it wouldn't work with someone you don't care about. By yourself is awesome too. But when you DO care and you've BOTH ingested... End orgasm may well be a bonus, but it sure as shit isn't the main attraction. In fact a bit unwanted as that would likely end all the fun. Fluffy blanket, dark room, mood lighting, great trippy/flowing music. Great times I'm telling you. GREAT times.

Surely somebody else has noticed the sensual side of the LSA's? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Worked great for Ms. Brimble. Just stay away from fake tans, wifebeater singlets, and muscle men. All aboard the Fairstar Fuckship!

Are the alkaloids in iboga leaf water soluble? Would a volume-reduced brew be absorbed rectally? Great that it apparently tastes nice as a tea, because almost everything else I'm interested in lately tastes like shit. Pun not intended...

Perhaps your mind's Door of Perception just swings a lot easier on well-greased hinges? Or it's replaced with door beads, hippy style...

They've been around for so long and have such a huge body of work. I think I have about 10 albums. Voyage 34. Made on acid, for acid.

LOL I was just thinking that I mustn't have any superstitions... until I realised I always put socks and shoes on my right foot first, because doing the left side first is bad luck. Totally BS I know. Something to do with ancient superstitions that right side = good, left side = bad. There's biblical references and middle age stuff but I can't be arsed linking.

From most reports I see or hear about people going crazy from tropanes, it seems that it is mostly young males who tend to gravitate towards it. Perhaps young males with a tendency of reckless behaviour? So I guess it wouldn't be so far fetched to imagine that that demographic would be more likely to try any substance to get trashed, and also highly likely to not properly research the substance beforehand. Two situations which shouldn't ever be mixed with tropanes. Why should the innocent plant be blamed for a human's irresponsibility and ignorance? Those kids might have chosen instead to smoke some MJ had it not been illegal. Teotz, how can you quantify an exact amount of dosage between medicinal effects and "brain death"? A lifetime of sensible doses is going to far better for you than a single day of over dose. That said, my only experience with tropanes is a few times with up to a 1/4 cone of mandrake (after leading up to that dose from the original match-head sized piece). I just figure there's enough info out there that NOBODY has any excuse to still be having too-large doses. Have internet, DO RESEARCH BEFORE INGESTING SUBSTANCES. I don't get why that's so hard for some people to get.

Got mine in the mail on tuesday I think. Planted her in the ground today Look at those big bits at the base of the leaves - I think they're called te petioles?

My friend in Argentina usually scrapes off as much brown coating off until the creamy-tan under colour is revealed. Older the seeds, harder to peel she says. They're also a pain in the arse, difficult shape to scrape. Lofty86, that's interesting! But wouldn't that have to imply the same for all purgatives? Might be just a plant's defence mechanism. Of course slowing down your gastrointestinal tract too much too often can't be good, like chronic opiate use. Also there are plenty of people who use Buscopan for other things like kidney stones (as it stops/slows the ureteric contractions) so they shouldn't not use it for that reason. Hmm if you told the chemist you'd had mushies they may have simply been trying to scare you off them. Does anyone else know anything about a possible contraindication? Also Mary helps the abdominal pains a bit, when you can stay awake

Is there any danger in eating the fungus itself?

Great post, Pelinster. I've on occassion noticed that some circumcised men seem to get offended at the suggestion of child abuse because they can't bear to equate their loving mother/parents labelled abusive. It shouldn't really be taken that way as they were different times and many mothers thought they were doing the right thing. We know better nowadays and the hygiene issue is even more moot, so there's no excuse now - except the medical one.

One Day As A Lion - self titled EP Pearl Jam - No Code. I never got pocket money as a teen so I could never afford cassettes or CDs, taping off JJJ was the best I could do. So a lot of the classic albums I would have been into, passed me by until new friends introduced me to them. I never heard Ten the whole way through until last year! Coda - Callin Mission Mu Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum Essential Trip - Trip To Inner Self. A beautiful ebay find, perfect for the solo voyage. Oysterhead - The Grand Pecking Order Melvins - Houdini Moloko - Things To Make And Do Jerrico - Jerrico EP Shpongle - Nothing Lasts But Nothing Is Lost Radiohead - In Rainbows James Wild/Chris Cullen - Healing Drums Tran Manh Tuan - Ru Rung (Jungle Lullaby). Got a friend spinning out while under the influence? Put them in a dark quiet comfortable room and put this on. Most of my time is spent either on the computer or driving somewhere it seems. Thus I listen to a LOT of music. Poor old Ween never gets any love but they're really underestimated musicians. Such a huge range of styles, very prolific, and absolutely amazing live! The Quebec album is pretty sweet for a social trip setting.

Sorry about the TMI, Apo I blame my touch-typing skills that I tend to just type whatever I'm thinking... Anyway, I had a sick dream last night in which 3 Argys were chopped finely and covered in about 20ml VSOP brandy with a pinch of yohimbe, stirred gently, covered with foil and put into fridge for 1hr. Despite eating dinner not too long beforehand - even in dreams I can't stop munging - effects were felt within about 20mins with some slight nausea. After 1hr effects were lighter than argys normally feel, closer to Cid. Beautiful potentiation, highly sensual, not too drowsy (guessing from the yohimbe), lasted well into 5 full hours trailing off at last 3 hours. Pleasant drowsiness, and my minute hand-shaking stilled. RLS symptoms nowhere to be felt. Effin' great dream all told.

Yeah me too! Leaf sounds a lot more psychoactive to me. I guess there's a different alkaloid profile? Would hardly be surprising.

I'm so terribly sorry you have to go through this with a loved one I can't believe they hand out antibiotics so willy-nilly, and WTF Tramadol plus other painkillers? So much WTF. It doesn't surprise me though, I walked into hospital at 17 for potentially life-threatening liver surgery and rolled out in a wheelchair and now-healthy liver. Another time I had a minor routine procedure done and ended up with septicaemia from clumsy/careless methods and they released me from day surgery with a fever. You could take it up with the Health Care Complaints Commission (HCCC) but the results of those sorts of investigations are kept internal and you're not told of what happens. I hope your partner and yourself are able to recover both physically and emotionally after such an horrible thing

Hornsby's a pretty nice suburb for Sydney as others have said. I live only about 20mins from there down Pennant Hills Rd. Going there tomorrow in fact to visit a friend who lives in Berowra, also nice and quiet and so leafy. Sometime in the nearish future I might be after a new flatmate as it's only me and one pretty permanant full-time guest living in my 4bed house. You couldn't really have asked for a nicer and more bushy suburb to move to in Sydney metropolitan area

Bolded I don't agree with. The rest I tend to agree; that speeding tickets are a voluntary payment because a person chose to speed. BUT. Apologies in advance for the swearing, but I've honestly kept to as minimal as my anger and frustration will allow: This year I have had nothing but hassles with my licence mostly because my old flatmate who is currently paying off buying my old car, had run a SPEED CAMERA THREE FUCKING TIMES. The car is still in my name and thus the fines came to me. It says on the penalty notice that as soon as you pay the fine the demerits will be put on your licence. As was my understanding. Nowhere does it say that if you do not pay the fine, and you receive a late fee notice, the demerits will be assigned anyway. My flatmate had since moved to country NSW and wasn't in a fixed address so it was hard to send him the fine and statutory declaration for him to fill out. Let it be said I wasn't really angry with him the first time because I've had my own speeding tickets so I won't be a hypocrite. Also my mail is delivered downstairs in the garage where I can't get in to get the mail so I have to ask someone else to do it - cos I'm in a wheelchair. Out of sight, out of mind for my mail... Added to that, it's not just any old chemist who can sign stat decs now so you have to go to the courthouse or luck out in finding a Justice of the Peace. Many solicitors have offices up huge flights of stairs, in my area anyway. So while trying to work all that out, the late fees come in and the 3 demerits each from the first two times are added to my licence. My licence was suspended this year Jan, because nearly 3 years ago I had got a ticket while driving north up the pacific highway. Fair enough I won't ever bitch about an offence I caused... I'll break this up for easier reading... Then last year as well some fuckwit pulled straight out into traffic in front of the car ahead of me so we all slammed on brakes and I ended up hitting the poor lady in front of me. I was going less than 50kph in a 60 zone and not tailgating at all - as the lady I hit even said to the coppers. The fuckwit got off scot free because he sped off. My car was crumpled up front and I couldn't even shut the front doors or take the car out of Drive. The poor woman had had shoulder surgery 3 weeks before and the seatbelt slam had made it hurt so much she could hardly move at first. I was petrified I'd killed her. I was alright, just a bit of an aching shoulder from slamming on the hand-controls. Later I learned my tyres were pretty worn (but not illegal at that point) so that's probably why I ended up not brakin in time despite reacting immediately. She was OK though and ended up giving me a lift home because my car had to be towed - over $8K damage insurance paid. But because I had hit the car in front, I got the 3 demerits for traffic infringement. Even the nice cop said it happens all the time and there were other witnesses who vouched for what happened. At the time I didn't even care about that because I was just glad we were both OK, and at that point the other licence shit hadn't gotten bad yet. So that's all 12 demerits within 3 years and bye bye licence. Even in Sydney it's pretty shitty to catch public transport in a 'chair, especially in my area where it's crap anyway. I need my licence and car. I had to get a good behaviour form from RTA. So I started trying to get it sorted by appealing the fine which takes 8-10 weeks. My auntie told me she'd work it out pretty quickly and easily so I left it to her. She forgot about it. Then ex flatmate got the third speed camera fine, straight to me again while I packed shit thinking if that's counted now while on a good behaviour form I'm fucked for 1 year no licence nothing to do about it. Around 2 months ago I finally got the stat decs and appeal papers signed (again by JP or some other douchebag hiding under a rock) and sent off plus $50 admin fees for both. Two weeks after that I got letters from SDRO (state debt recovery) saying my appeals were denied because I didn't write some BS to answer a question which may as well have been written in Hungarian (the SDRO chick I spoke to agreed with me and says it always catches every up - WELL WHY DON'T THEY FUCKING MAKE IT CLEARER???). So I redo them both, send them back off, and a week after that I FINALLY get the all-clear that they were suspending the penalty and sending it to exflatmate. Yippee kay YAY. IN the meantime, the third stat dec has been sent off to hopefully clear that one too, but I have yet to hear about that one. 8-10 weeks my crippled fanny. Alls well that ends well? Not fucking likely. Sometime around early May when talking to SDRO about some damn thing they informed me that my licence was still suspended because of the initial unpaid late fee fines!!! The ones I didn't want to pay because that's admitting liability. So SDRO bleats about not getting $130 or whatever the hell it was from SOMEBODY and puts the suspension on my licence which meant the good behaviour form was null anyway and I'd been driving since January on NO licence. I had been SO good while on that form (still am obviously) because you essentially have no points - like a learner licence. I cried on the phone out of sheer frustration. She told me since all the other stuff was being sorted I may as well pay the fine money to lift that. There is actually more after that point but I've got a headache now and I just dont' feel like whingeing anymore. In any case, in some circumstances it can be extremely easy to lose your licence so that's what I'm getting at.

Without having to start another thread... I have a ~9yr old loph (multiple heads) in the same pot with another wee little 2yr old, so when I put the pot into a shallow dish with some water in the bottom the 2yr old will still get sufficient amounts even though the older ones' root is obviously deeper? The pot comes inside when it gets dark as I usually have central heating on around 17-18C and it gets sunlight (mostly diffused but about 2 hours direct in the morning). The poor older one has been dropped TWICE out of the pot, both times I swear my heart lept into my throat. The cat has even had a tentative bite on two of the heads. Guess she didn't like the taste and the small wounds are closing over. After all that and still looking pretty good I'd hate to overwater it, but don't want to underwater the youner one.

I ordered from them last wednesday, got a personal email for a couple of quick questions thursday, and the reassurance on friday that my order was ready but that he didn't want to ship them over the weekend - for obvious good reasons - and I received the package yesterday midday. Very fast service and from the looks of it, everything included Highly recommended.

A lot of people think that the circumcision debate shouldn't be a woman's right to participate in but fuck that. It's a lot of mothers who make the decision to cut their baby boy so how can it not be? I personally am disgusted that it's still a reasonably common practice for non-medical reasons. Some men say they don't remember it being done and that it doesn't impinge on them later in life so how could it be abuse? Well, a baby that has had cigarettes stubbed out into his skin won't remember it being done either as apparently we don't really remember pre-4 years old. Would you still do it? There are female genital mutilation (FGM) types that are equally intrusive and comparable to male circumcision, such as clitoral hood removal. Yet usually the comparison to male circ'ing and FGM is pooh-poohed as exageration. Of course the sewing up of the vulva is far worse than the removal of foreskin, but like I said there are many different ways of FGM. It makes me IRATE when some women will bitch and moan about uncut knobs being "yucky, smelly, or ugly" WTF??? I'd love it if an uncut au natural dude told them their cooch looked like a bulldog barfing after eating porridge. Wouldn't they complain if a MAN said they should have some of the woman's less-sightly bits were hacked off near birth so that they didn't have to gaze upon such filth? As for the hygiene issue, well in this day and age that shouldn't really BE an issue. Every little boy (and girl!) should be taught appropriate hygiene behaviours anyway. For little boys who may have an increased risk of some medical disorders such as I think it's called Phimosis? then of course circumcision should be a consideration on purely medical basis by medical professionals. Disorders causing the restriction of the foreskin usually require a circ'ing later in life where it is more painful to suffer through than the more elastic skin of a newborn bub. But that could be comparable to removing breast tissue in developing girls who may have a risk of developing breast cancer later in life. The religion aspect is a loathsome reason to do this to unwilling babies. At least initiation rites in most tribal cultures happen when the boy is old enough to potentially refuse or at least run away. That Judaism might be a more common religion with more acceptable practices over the world is just a total bullshit I don't give a flying copulation the atrocities the Jewish people suffered during WW2 or at any other point in history. The fact they can still do this to unpermissive babies is abhorrant in my eyes. It is nothing about anti-any religion, just about being totally dead against that one particular aspect of their religion. If a circumcised man is happy with his lot and isn't traumatised by it or anything well fine, that's great it's not getting in the way of living his life. But that doesn't mean it will be ok for every other little boy. The very fact that such a procedure is done without the explicit consent of the patient is also abhorrant. This is not a life-saving procedure a parent has to make on behalf of the child in order for them to survive. This is nothing but the parent forcing their religion and wishes upon their child. I know this is an emotive post in which I probably could have worded a lot better or at least spent more time on it, but I'm running late and it's a subject that fires me up anyway. I have nothing against cut or uncut, both are beautiful because either are a part of a man who I care about. There's a couple of things you can do with a natural uncut peen that you can't do without a foreskin but I'm not going to go into that.

Sorry about the late response, haven't been on the computer much since that last yohimbe post. ROFL not because I was too busy from the effects of it, that would be an exhaustive weekend... Used about a good solid pinch (~1/3 cone, therefore pyrolised) which is a bit less than I'd normally wrap into a small bit of tissue to parachute. Some kanna+mj earlier, but not much. Nothing else. Effects similar to a bit of kanna straight away (bit high in the head), the typical yohimbe effects like the increased blood-flow were felt not long after around 5mins. I'd misjudged the time my partner was supposed to come home so it wasn't put to "traditional practical" use. Enjoyed the effects solo in any case Didn't notice any "trippiness" from it so I guess I didn't have enough for that hallucinogenic breakthrough that yohimbe is supposed to have after a dose point. Which is good because that's not what I wanted. I wouldn't have driven for about 2-3hrs after ingestion but it would have been possible, I'm just wary about driving on substances. As for the effects we all want to know about... I have a fairly high libido for a girl anyway but the oral contr. pill tends to lower it somewhat. Libido increase was pretty much straight away once I laid down and started thinking sexy thoughts*. The blood flow to genital region is very intense. Doesn't take much to orgasm, touch anywhere else on the body is highly erotic, orgasm is more pervasive throughout the body not just confined to genital region. Many orgasms possible throughout the duration of effects (2-3hrs) though I started getting the shits that He wasn't coming home just yet (He was actually pretty crook at the time but I was somewhat selfish at that point, heh) so I lost the inclination and stubbornly refused to give in to the urges until He got here. I was also wide awake until well into the night as usual with the yohimbe - again, not from the practical application as He was still too sick. Can't WAIT to try this with hbwr or rivea. The intensity of the yohimbe combined with the pure indulgent sensuality of the ergoline vasoconstriction should be pretty far-out, especially considering how effective they both are separately. Plus the drowsiness of the ergs should be lessened with the yohimbe. Will use less of both for the first trial. Any other questions feel free to PM (lol within reason) because obviously there's only going to be so much I'll say publicly. *not stupid, sexy Flanders

^^^ Yeah I was going to mention the thursday night shopping aspect. One thing with the legal products at least is that the ingredients are regulated unlike street anything you didn't make yourself. Unfortunately I can't give a proper answer because there were too many other variables that day to pinpoint effects to the Kaktus. What I noticed at about the assumed period of come-up were slight headiness, increase in brightness - assumedly from pupil dilation though I couldn't see for myself without a mirror obviously LOL, moderate increase in energy. I want to give it another go without the varying factors which were unavoidable at the time. Not sure if I'm necessarily allowed to say the ingredients, but I will because if they're allowed to sell it, surely I'm allowed to say? I kept the vial for reference so here it is anyway: "A blend of cactus flesh (Selenicereus and Opuntia sp.), coffee and chocolate. Does NOT contain mescaline." So there's the assumption of hordenine, tyramine, caffeine, and theobromine I guess. There were no MAOI action drugs in my system.

I'll personally vouch that the Kaktus product works. As for people mistreating these legal products, I think that's as much the fault of the government's ridiculous War On Drugs shit that the majority of the population believes that legal = safe; illegal = dangerous. What an incredibly stupid and irresponsible stance. People assume Panadol is safe even in over recommended-dose or legal herbs must be legal because they're weak so they think nothing of ingesting far too much.

This ethno-wise girl would like to ask for this recipe brb: smoking some yohimbe... Edit: Not as harsh as I expected, thankfully.
