    I'll chip in!  But NFI where to get it...


    I searched a bit on the net and eBay but it’s hard to work out who’s legit and who’s full of shit and just wants to sell their junk saffron.

     

    Yesterday I found a bottle of saffron extract I’d bought at a fancy grocer a few years ago. It was pretty nice in a black tea with cardamom (and milk) drink! I’ll use that bottle to do my saffron alcohol

    Hey Alchemica, do you reckon a small misting spray with Calamus and lavender might be something to carry around for someone with acute anxiety to spray under their tongue at onset?

     

    I’ve been making some gummies lately, and have some fresh orange syrup left to use. If I make a saffron alcohol tincture can I mix that with the syrup to make orange saffron gummies? I’m pretty sure I have Calamus oil from years ago, would that be effective? The gelatine has to be heated up enough to mix with the material, so would have to be heat stable to I’m guessing nearly 100C. 
     

    Mint Geranium… I have a couple of small plants initially bought to line the bottom of chocolate cakes with the leaves (like my grandma used to), it’s intense enough to impart the minty smell and mild flavour to the chocolate. How would I go about utilising this? I imagine leaving the leaves in alcohol would just degrade the leaves. Maybe just leave the leaves in some grain alcohol and swish around for a couple days but no more?

    Bump! A pinch definitely helps breathing. Gives warm glow. I might be a medium hard head so I’ve NFI how many threads I had. Going to alcohol tincture some. Was thinking to mix with kr at tincture and maybe mace tincture. 
     

    im happy to do another buy-in round if someone knows where to get bull good stuff!

    If anyone is "trying" to engage with me about anything else, they are not doing a very good job. I haven't heard anything about anything else, not a whisper of any other communication.

    If you would like to communicate to me something else or whatever the present communication/rumour is, please do let me know.


    I have been. On FB. You’ve engaged in some - possibly most? - of what I put to you to your credit. But my lines of questioning were less about the “#metoo” comments and associated subject matter, and more about other things which you seemed to gloss over. Things like your responsibility to participants, the image of the underground scene as shown to media, and a couple of other things which I honestly can’t be bothered trying to remember right now. I don’t know whether your deflection was even conscious let alone deliberate. 
     

    But it’s *my* opinion that if you’re going to be a proponent of plant medicine and utilise the title of “inventor of Changa” (any variation thereof) then I believe that should come with some responsibilities.

    That’s why there are fairly rigorous codes of ethics and legal obligations. It’s an inherantly tricky subject to navigate. Where there are humans there are human frailties. And in a setting of therapy/healing of ANY kind, there’s going to be a level of imbalance and therefore trust and responsibility. That’s to protect both parties as well. I’d guarantee that there would be plenty of cases throughout the ages where a tribe’s Shaman/Medicine Person/Healer/etc took their position for granted and abused that power - as I said human frailty. I’ve no doubt that in the vast majority of cases it would be terrible consequences for the victim. 
     

    I’ve always thought the way to aiming for perfection (even if not actually achievable) is to build on the mistakes of the past with current knowledge. That is to say neither ignore or glorify the past. Use ALL tools available.

    Obviously, I was ambushed. They even imply that very strongly in the piece. my fb post from 5 years ago is me ruminating on metoo and some unfair accusations and me explaining that. I didn't need to do that. The producer hadn't even read that post, I doubt the reporter did either. The whole thing is truly embarrasing for this country, I felt really ashamed such ignorance was being pushed out of the national broadcaster and I think a lot of sensible and intelligent people agree.

    I'm not sure people are buying this at all, as it just comes through as a hatchet job, even my enemies are unsure it seems to me. I haven't gotten so much clear hate, because what is being levelled against me is so murky and unclear and in an unfair manner.

     

    It is not cool when you are accused of being a "bad guy" on national television. The really bad people are the moreons who went and cried wolf four corners. I know who they are, and they are not even people who believe in the power of psychedelic medicine, and grinding their ax against me is the most important thing for them.

    I'm making a response video which I'll post here when it is done.

    What do they say? any publicity is good publicity, that appears to be true in this it appears to me.


     

    has it occurred to you that there might be factors other than the #metoo “conversation” and whatever happened between you and the three women (AFAIK), which some people are trying to engage in discourse with you?

    Years ago I confirmed there was 100% activity in extract from colubrina root, I’m dragging up a very old and vague memory, but I seem to remember that there was a layer of hard pale material within the root at some layer that I’m almost certain I didn’t use. I do remember 100% that I used the pale musky pink layer which had the unmistakeable smell of peanuts. The whole root had swollen up which is what precipitated me to want to use it, since I’d thought I’d killed the plant. 
     

    anyway I remember there was one fundamental difference between extracting NN and 5meo which IIRC is 5meo doesn’t need non-polar solvent?? I never got around to doing NN extract because of a privacy/safety issue with the basification step and I couldn’t get a non-polar. So I figured there was something in the roots and guessed 5meo since it was somewhere else, and while I would’ve written down what I did I have NFI where that is, I DO remember using acetone because that’s what I had available. I’m guessing prob sodium carbonate since that would’ve been the strongest alkali I’d have had. 
     

    the result was a very tiny amount of crystal scraped up. Pretty sure I remember sandwiching it with very noticeable effects from such a tiny amount. It wasn’t half a cone of changa noticeable, or freebasing crystal NN noticeable, and I wish I could remember what the actual effects were. It’s possible it could’ve been NN and I just burnt off most of it, or… it was 5meo. I’m not even sure I’d even had NN in any form when I did that. It was only around a year after I’d had any illicit for the first time, less than a year since I’d had acid the first time, and I was doing it all by myself and the wonderful info online. 
     

    Problem with this as a source of 5meo? Not particularly sustainable! I’m looking up a bunch of shit now because I want to see what’s possible with peregrina twigs/phyllodes

    I'll see your awesome Australiana, and raise you two of my favourites:

     

     

    I do love my cheesy vintage pop. 
     

    but there’s some stuff that still makes the hair on the back of my hair stand up…

     

    I lived in Ballina between 91-92 and I still remember driving past as passenger the cane fields during storms and smelling the burnt cane with the song playing on radio. Visceral!

    i think it's very sientific, to know of one principle, and than try to find out if it can be, a factor under different cirumstances.

    some particles are at two locations at the same time, and so far it's believed by the smartest people, that only the action of, observing the particle makes it appear.

     

     

     

     

    I suppose a radio wave or television broadcast isn’t heard or seen until it’s received. A light particle isn’t measured by its wavelength (show colour) until it bounces off an object?

    There is no distinction at a quantum level, you cannot separate the observer from the observed. Modern science makes allowance for what Einstein dismissed as "spooky action at a distance". 

     

    considering how much importance I place on root causes, I find it pretty dense I didn’t even think of that lol. 

     

    i reckon you’re bang-on tho!

    I’d recommend watching the movie A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night before listening to this song, but it digs hooks in,.. the movie is fucking amazing. Black and white, vampires, drugs, a western aesthetic… and entirely in Persian? Farsi?

    Alchemica you are an absolute LEGEND. 

     

    thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that!! It hadn’t occurred to me that the positions were inclusive of the entire indole lol. I had assumed all this time it was just in reference to the left side (the benzene?) not sure why tho. 
     

    very fascinating about fungi having different enzymes compared to animals and plants in that part of the process!

     

    i had a rudimentary understanding of how a molecule binds to a receptor, and how a seeming,y minor difference can have big practical differences (for example how one isomer can be far more potent than the other), but I hadn’t really clicked about the difference in the receptor subtypes either…

     

    ah man I feel satisfied with that answer like you wouldn’t believe lol. 
     

    thank you again :D

    I have a question for anyone who understands this more than I do (which is sadly still very little lol). 
     

    I’m curious at what point and WHY is the hydroxyl group on the 4 position for psilocin 4-HO-DMT, compared to why it’s on the 5 position for Bufotenine 5-HO-DMT?

     

    Also, are there hydroxyls Off 1/4/6? I’m guessing they can’t be off 2/3 position due to the Nitrogen and Carbon atoms respectively? Is it because a hydrogen atom is shunted off more easily? In as minimalistic way I can get my query across lol. 


    I see that according to the map and notes it mentions phosphorylation which IIRC relates also to the Difference between psilocybin and psilocin? But what in the great crippled fuck does that even mean? 
     

    the reason I’ve been curious is the massive difference in effects between for example 5ho, 5meo, and nn; or baecystein(sp?) and aeruginacin to psilocin. 
     

    I don’t even have my copy of TIKHAL atm but I probably wouldn’t understand anyway.
