The Kindle edition is now available! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QUBLR14

Thunderideal, Read it first and then you tell me! :-) There is a enormous amount of new insight and information in this book! I share a lot of techniques, my understandings of new cultural forms and practises and settings in which to explore these materials. Thing is, absolute newbies will get as much from this, as even the most experienced people. I've really downloaded all the stuff that I have picked up along the way that is not well known or known at all, and put it in here. It would be a good christmass present for mum or dad who may not see the revelance of this sort of work! The Kindle edition is coming very soon! Julian.

DiscoStu, For one thing, I don't believe in knowledge per se. I believe in understanding and perception, which the book encourages. The act of reading it should be one of connectively understandings oneself and one's own internal experiences. Fixed knowledge is passe. There is groundbreaking stuff on the acacias in there however. You may have heard of a smoking blend called "changa"? Well, I am the pioneer of that. I'll post an excerpt at some point soon! Julian.

Speakers include Graham Hancock, Luis Eduardo Luna and Kilindi Iyi as well as many other South African and international guests. http://www.khanyisaconference.co.za

The 2nd Khanyisa Psychoactive Plant Conference is to be held in Johannesburg on the 29-30th of November. One of the headline speakers is Ede Frecska, and you can see him here give a talk about why plants have DMT. http://youtu.be/ssmYWTakbJs

And this is my 2nd album, Gladiola, which is explorative beat based EDM, available for free download (or pay what you like) on bandcamp. https://happen1.bandcamp.com/album/gladiola

I've just released my first album on bandcamp! http://happen1.bandcamp.com/album/empiric-reflections It is quite challenging and very different sounding music, using very advanced digital synthesis technology! Sure to be very stimulating and about as awakening as a couple of cups of coffee!

Penny, Another one who has left us. I still have some of her super bright artwork. She is also one of the few people I know who has extensively explored amanita. What a kind, passionate and switched on lady. I was never that close to her, but I know that she is dearly missed by many people. A rare being indeed.

I did one test on Alpina phyllodes years ago and it came up negative.

I say just let the terrorists blow shit up and kill a few thousand people every now and then. It is not worth the stress, man hours, security checks, big brother shit, fucking cops everywhere spreading a climate of "something bad is going to happen and we are here to protect you from it!" SUCH BULLSHIT! Security is for pussies. Lets live in danger! In fear of being blown up in every moment! Anyway, that's where my vote goes. Maybe people will appreciate life more and stop pissing it away if they realise they could be blown up at any given moment! But seriously, those of us who do not have shit for brains, know this is all total bullshit and just another excuse to exert authoritarian domination and control. This is so Pathetic.

Polygala is an incredible herb. Try this blend, one of most impressive combination of herbs you'll likely ever take! http://www.dragonherbs.com/prodinfo.asp?number=180

This is Excellent Rape quality from Toast! And I have tried many blends, this is definitely among the best I have tried. The pipe is also excellent! I have wanted to get a good pipe to administer to other people for a long time. In South Africa, Rape is very big there, with everyone doing it all the time, especially ayahuasca people, who take it in cermonies to amplify the brew. Be a bit careful though, this stuff is quite morish, and I know some people who have taken it up in replacement for some of their older addictions!

ok, that is it for now. :-) I will give priority to those who pm'ed first!

The good news is this tree seems to grow pretty much everywhere! I have seen decent specimens around Melbourne thriving! I have come into a few more seeds. I figure I can spare 10 lots of 5 seeds. I might come into more seeds later this year, but do send me a pm if you think you can give this incredible tree a nice place to grow! Btw, these seeds were collected from a very old cultivated specimen ;-)

Hey thanks! It took about a year! The album art is made by a serbian graphic designer Milan Persic. https://www.behance.net/infactable

I have listened to Shpongle, years ago, but never all that much!

>Nor do you have any understanding of chemistry, a molecule's a molecule regardless of whether it's synthesised by man or plant. I've been on about that for a long time and I disagree! Torsten is right about the MAOI thing and so is Dennis McKenna who talked about this at Entheongaia in late 2012.

>But as far as the deaths are concerned I don't think its a mystery at all as I'm sure that someone who is clearly very passionate about Aya as yourself doesn't need a lecture on MAOI and their possible interactions. I think that is all largely hyperbole based upon MAOI interactions that some very rare people will have from synthetic MAOI's. I have only ever heard of two people who have problems with combining red wine with Syriun Rue, but that is it! >I just know with the current state of politics and the attitude towards non pharmaceutical drugs in the general population the powers that be would inform the police to target it "for the sake of the children" once a death does occur. And I'm saying, this is BS and would should not tolerate such attitudes. Point is, no children have died and that plants like Ayahuasca are largely safe when compared to pharmaceutical "medicines". Stats are hard to come by for Australia, but did you know 100,000 people die in the U.S. from synthetic compounds? http://www.alternet.org/story/147318/100,000_americans_die_each_year_from_prescription_drugs,_while_pharma_companies_get_rich For a random to die every blue moon unexplainably, there are many thousands more who have their cancer cured or lives turned completely turned around. People die rock climbing, at least 25 a year in America alone. And yet, rock climbing is not banned! You can't ban rock climbing. Ayahuasca cannot be banned, as it is a medicine that changes people lives. It is like banning music or dancing. That is just dumb and people are not going to obey that. Imagine all these people being dragged to court for possesion of ayahuasca and going to jail for it! That's just not kosher and would not fly in this society, especially when so many people have been positively touched by this plant. That just doesn't make any sense and so we shouldn't buy into these laws whatsover, which are not even clear regarding Ayahuasca anyway.

excellent, good to hear! I'd be interested in getting an administrator pipe, not just a self adminstrator if you can point me in the right direction?

Katu, Sure, someone may die in Australia at some point, but that does not mean that we should bow down and say that this should not be done! or that it is unsafe! I think that Ayahuasca is remarkably safe. It is a mystery that people would even die taking it! AND that does not mean this should be a justification for it to stopped! One Australian dies every nine days in Bali, but it is not that the Australian government is stopping people from visiting Bali, as that is not their godamn right! Just as it is not their godamn right to tell us what we can or cannot consume! http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/how-one-aussie-tourist-dies-every-nine-days-on-paradise-island-of-bali/story-e6freuy9-1226448671303 >And please elaborate on what you mean by utterly defensible Ayahuasca is typically used by people to heal themselves. That impulse, in our extremely sick society, is utterly defensible, it is clearly plain and evident that this is what any sane and reasonable should want to do. Look, I'm just saying the justification is here and it is manifold. We are not talking about "drug abuse" here, we are talking of a plant sacrament which has significantly helped many thousands of people, and they all have testimony. Lets hope some more people in this country can grow a pair and we can change some things in this country, so that making a tea from our national flower emblem is not considered illegal! How ridiculous is that? Zed240>The reality check is this - yes, these things are illegal - yes, your life can be impacted very negatively if you are caught. Yes, you should protect yourself. (and protecting yourself usually means not "hooking" strangers up with illegal substances!) Hooking strangers up with illegal substances is absolutely necessary, such people will then become your friend and experience the benefit you had from them! Being mean and selfish is passe.

Ballzac, Actually, I have contacted him! Katu, Honestly, do you really think the cops are cracking down on Ayahuasca in this country? Do you know anyone who has busted for ayahuasca? I know one. He was let off. I personally think it would be really interesting if they started to crack down, it would weed out all the pussies! It would also push forward the debate in this country! Get a reality check, get out of your fear. These laws are nonsensical, the only reason DMT is illegal is some americanski beurocrat in 1968 decided to put it on a list! AND DMT does not have to be in Ayahuasca brews at all! There is no set amount of DMT which needs to be in there. And even if there is. SO FUCKING WHAT! As if I the LAW is at all relevant to what is best for you and what is best for me? It isn't. It is bullshit. I call bullshit. Do you really think this is worthy of the legal system and going to jail. For Fucks Sake! Get a reality check! Do you really think the gubbmint wants to spend $100,000 a year putting people in jail for drinking a brew Lindsay Lohan, Sting and Ben Lee are drinking too? Do you think the judge is going to get a slap on the back for that decision? I think you all should Get Off It, and get real and stop pretending to be cocksuckers. I don't buy it and nobody else does either. People drinking ayahuasca is about the least of the concerns of law enforcement in this country. It is utterly defensible activity that should not be prosecuted whatsoever and we should not expect it to be prosecuted as far as I am concerned, especially not with cops breaking down doors. Give me a break!

Ayahuasca is good medicine. Whether it is illegal or not is largely irrelevant and should not really be factor, considering the powerful healing it can do for human beings. Someone asking about it on this forum should not be castigated and turned away from information - that is just mean spirited. Stand up for yourselves, you bent overt colonial pussy cats! And have a think about what it would be like to not be perpetuating fear and your contracted interpretation of these "laws".

Illegal is the new legal! FFS someone in Sydney point this guy in the right direction! You overly precious mormons need to pull your heads out of your collective anuts! FFS!

The Anastasia books are interesting enough fiction books with some solid metaphysical information within. I keep meeting people who have been given psychoactive medicine by aboriginal people. I met one the other day, who said he was given a preparation that lasted five days! Normally, they say it lasts 3 days and is stronger than smoked DMT. Thing is, as part of the initiation, you are not supposed to talk about it, it is secret business. However, one aboriginal man told me many years ago what he could, after a recently deceased elder told him after he smoked DMT, to tell these white fellas what he knew.
