its quite strange how prevelant this sort of stuff is on our society...I have come into contact with a couple of situations in which people have been 'busted', commonly people just laugh about it and think 'sick fucker'.... But i wonder whether such phenommena is the result of the sexual taboos placed upon us by our society... It's normal for someone growing up to have a whole lot of sexual energy and sexual desires, at least normal when they are directed towards humans. Then comes the repression and internalisation of these feelings in response to the pressures of 'social values' and 'western ideals'... It's funny that a lot of the sexual repression that occurrs is as a direct result of values preached and implemented by the church... Could it be argued that by repressing the sexuality of people, and limiting there ability to express their sexuality, 'taboos' have caused an increase in bestiality? i.e if everyone had the right to be comfortable with their sexual urges and had a means by which to communicate and share them, would so many people look to such an extreme outlet??? but fuck!! a 12yr old girl???? thats just fukn wrong!

is it possible that there is some kind of effect from the dyes used? the only reason i say this is not because of -Ignorance, more so curiousity. I understand that set, setting, and dosage are the main prevailing influences on an lsd experience... What i am trying to understand is why some people describe certain paper as- clean, and -dirty.... I.e there is definately a distinguishing feature of quality involved, sometimes certain batches are very clean with little if any undesirable physical effects, whereas others have definite 'dirty' or 'gritty' characteristics.... And yes when i am refferring to 'liquid' i am refferring to dissolved crystals... commonly 'liquid' is available as a concentrate, i.e sometimes up to 750ug per drop... i also believe the solute is some kind of alcohol although i cant say for sure.

SWIM told me that lots of the microdots that get around are the contams/precipitates resulting from certain processes during either lsa or lsd manufacture. SWIM's friend then told me that the colour of the liquid involved is a good indicator of purity, and that the degrading of lsd to another compound from bad storage/exposure is responsible for the 'gritty' feeling often experienced from paper (i.e dilbert scat). The two of them then went on to tell me that there are various microgram conc. of lsd aroudn at the moment, depending on batch and form. Apparently there is some liquid with a 250ug conc. that is amber or clear in appearance. They also said that the gettafix's are available in 500ug and 240ug conc... Not me would be extremely interested in being able to confirm SWIM's claims, and also in developing a method to scientifically analyse the conc. of lsd i the many forms available.. If anyone knows of a reliable method of testing conc. please share.. peace, and b carefull people, i witnessed some scary scary shit on the weekend due to an individuals apparent realisation of schizophrenia whilst under the influence of the stars of david... ***E***

for anyone in the newcastle region theres a great opportunity to see some aussie talent next friday night at the cambridge.... Dogboy lover supporting Blue Juice... Should be an awesome gig and a new look at some awesome new local talent (dogboy lover)

i was tlkign with friends about the sumatra fault line a couple of days ago and was wondering whether what we are seeing here is a case study that will continue.. Im not too up to date as to how scientifically or contextually correct this idea is but it goes as follows: Sumatra is an oil hot-spot, oil has been mined here in vast quantities for a decent length of time..When tectonic plates move, the disrubtion and friction created is in relation to certin lubricating agents and 'cushions'.. By removing oil from somewhere, especially an active tectonic join, do we decrease the cushioning/lubricating influence of this natural resource and in doing so increase the risk/severity of earthquakes?? It would be interesting to see peoples reactions if they realised that the severity of these disasters was in relation to the severity of our raping and plundering of natural resources. But this all depends on whether the idea has scientific evidence to support it... Also- it is not oil that is at the crux of the sustainability problem, but the ability for human (and especially western) society to consume. Sustainability is a question of stopping consumption, rather then consuming somethign else. i.e we dont need another energy source, natural resources can be sustainably utilised over a long period of time if done effectively and efficiently.... Our problem is the lifestyle/consumerist existence that has been created for us... (and which every single one of us are firmly intrenched in)

ive got to say that the aussie hip hop scene really bakes my noodle myself and a bunch of mates have been catching the herd, good buddha, tzu and the resin dogs whenever they are in town for about 2 years now... Some artists you havent mentioned that definately deserve a good listen are Hermitude..These guys hail from the Blue mountains and are signed to Elephant tracks.. Having caught up with them at one of their hometown gigs and when they have played in newcastle with the herd, ive got to say that not only does their music rock, but they are also very very humble approachable genuine people(that goes for most of the crew from elephant tracks as well).... If u can track it down chase up Hermitudes debut LP for some awesome groove, chill and deep dubby sounds. (most of the album is instrumental but there is appearances by the herd and tzu floating around).. peace all, and support aussie culture and sense of identity! (australia dont become america)

i will be your plumber and preacher for today... i believe there is a blockage in your toilet... here let me fix it for you, (pulls out blockage consisting of bags containg culpious amounts of HARDCORE raver candy, shelf's 3 of them, and proceeds to dribble random shit into cs's ear about christ consciousness, ancestral mathematics, and the virtues of celibacy)(whilst stroking his nipples) now, just remember cs, drugs are bad and religion is good... (but only my religion) oh yeah (my drugs are good because they are safe and make our faith money) p.s, i sincerely hope i havent thwarted your first step towards rehabilitation... p.p.s i think im about to block your toilet up again,

Id still like to know whether either of the seed types was active.. as for the cacti it has already been confirmed. peace ***E*** [ 31. March 2005, 18:42: Message edited by: min(E)rval ]

yeah the whole areole grafting thing was what i was trying to get at before with the whole "plug n hole method".. i was wondering if u could get a bridgessii and graft aeroles of Tbvm into the sides of the Bridgesii so u would have T.bvm growing out of the side of the Bridgesii grow tip??? did that make sense? ***E*** EDIT: p.s JAS- the ones i got all had two fully grown arms, or one fully grown with a 3/4 pup... One even has 2 arms and onenew pup emerging.. p.p.s, nice loph [ 01. April 2005, 10:54: Message edited by: min(E)rval ]

ive set up a large grow room for tropicals and a small grow cupboard for my cacti that were sadly ravaged by disease. In the Grow cupboard i have a 400w son t aggro hps... Just curious whether running them under a 24hr light cycle is beneficial to growth rate and so forth. im sure this has been discussed before although i tried numerous searchs to no avail... could someone assist me with info as to which artificial light cycle and spectrum type is most beneficial.. I have had the cupboard running for around 3 weeks and in that period i have noted around 1mm of growth for the columnar species and probably about half that for the lophs (which i was quite impressed with) cheers n beers (home brew prefferably) peace ***E***

here is what two ethno heads have said about their understanding of dmt.. This was written about an experience shared by the triptamind crew on the sunday night of triptamind 2005...And somehow i feel the return to this space for entheogensis 2005 will bring upon a re-entrance to the chrysalis by many a participant :D njoyhyperspatial chrysalis ***E***

yeah ive got the same thing on all of my collection.. When i left them at my parents place they were all clean and pristine, then when i returned i noticed a small amount on some of them.. then next time i returned all fo them were covered in it and the nasty weeping black rot shit... I have a feeling that the 'scale' and 'black rot' are the same thing just at different stages.. The black rot starts like the scale but due to humidity or excess nutrients or whatever it is it progress's past being mere scale and turns into the rot.. Much of my collection has recovered after i placed them all in a grow room under hps for 24hr/7day light cycle.. i.e ive been running themunder constant light and they are growing out the black rot and all the sores are dryign up and healing just like the scale.. Whilst some of them were severely crippled and bent over with large sections of rot, almost all the blackness has disappeared and is healing over... It would be nice to know of preventative measures, i understand humidity and nutrients excellerate it, i was even told painting white oil onto it would starve it of oxygen and kill it but this def didnt wrk.. peace ***E***

check the bottom right corner of the second pic, enlarge it for a closer view.. theres a decent little selection of lophs there. was just curious, not intending to buy, i dont have enough money to buy any more large specimens... just lookign at germinating as many different varients/genetic sources as possible... peace ***E***

mm hamiltons wrld of cacti looks interesting.... nice and close to us newcastle/sydney peeps... i notice in one of the photos a rather impressive collection of lophs.. r these in the retail area or just for show??? might have to go out there with acamera some time. peace ***E***

due to the proximity of this event to uni exams and a party im involved with up here i will be booking flights as soon as the date is confirmed and scouting around for my old mountain goat friend who carried me safely through the trials and trivulations last time i was in town.... heheh,looks like i need to set my clock to A.S.T...

hey i dont know if everyone already knows it but ive been picking up T.b.vm with 2 arms at bunnings for 5.99, ive found 6 in my two local bunnings over the past 3 weeks i even made an attempt to ask the lady at the counter whether i could ask them to get extras stocked so i could come back and get more in one go.. but u know how helpfull bunnings staff can be btw, could you do an aereole graft with T.b.vm using the plug and hole method used with lophophora?

quite accidentally stumbled across this last night whilst channell flicking, an absolutely amaizing doco featuring trance states from all over the world, including excerpts from melbournes own rainbow-serpent festival, along with some very enlightened wrds from a rather clean looking krusty.... The images of the bushmen travelling through a tunnell together were amaizing, u had the sense that they were in somekind of wormhole and were travellign at quite a speed.... Some very interesting states caught on camera, we were totally blown away by the dervish spinners slow spinning trance state, reminded us both of dropping khat seeds into a germing tray from height...not to mention the parallels with shamanic dance.. hope a lot of people out there caught this one, we came in half way through and would love to know if anyone caught it on vhs. peace ***E*** [ 07.

keep an eye out for brugs in city gardens, i.e in the front of flats/units and even high rises... ive seen plenty of brugs in the centre of sydney and know of one in particular just out of rush cutters bay (potts point i think).. in melbourne they are all through the cities public grdns. peace (not to mention the syd btnc grdns)

yeah sure no problems, although this is a tricky one to grow round these parts, and im not exactly sure what the flowers look like as i missd it flowering.. although i do know they are small... pm me an addy and ill get some off when i can (2-3week period). ***E***

thanx heaps for that Torsten, ill make sure im a little more careful next time lol, and it sure looks a lot better now

my I.muelleri plants seeded quite heavily about 4 weeks ago and i will post some bio-assay reports in the following weeks.... (my gnome isnt up for it but has plenty of keen impish and oafish friends)..

yeah ed i got a couple of 3-4yr old babies that could respond positively to grafting... swap sounds good.. time scale of 2-3weeks. ***E***
