Contemplations is now available to watch on Amazon for just a couple of bucks to rent it out. People can watch it also in the UK and the U.S., other countries will come if we get enough views and reviews over the next month. So please do review (although I'm not sure why people cannot leave reviews from Australia atm!) https://www.primevideo.com/region/fe/detail/0RYE81E8VZ21U0W9HJTSAIAR3C/ref=dvm_src_ret_au_xx_s Our first review popped up on the U.S. Amazon site. -- Great job Julian, thank you for creating a movie about psychedelics for psychedelic explorers that does not go through the elementary explanation and uses of each psychedelic before skimming the surface right before rolling credits. Great insights, powerful experiences, and practical knowledge for those looking to go deeper and the ability for these plants and fungi to bring awareness to humans that may just save us all from ourselves. Bravo!

Contemplations recently got a great feature article in Forbes Magazine online edition. https://www.forbes.com/sites/benjaminadams/2023/12/21/contemplations-confronts-the-psychedelic-experience-in-australia/ Contemplations is also now available to watch for FREE on Tubi, which is a free Advertising Video on Demand Platorm. https://tubitv.com/movies/100012943/contemplations-on-the-psychedelic-experience

https://www.contemplations.film Contemplations is a 2 hour documentary distilling the wisdom of experienced psychedelic explorers in the Australian scene. Interspersed with deep “contemplations” about the psychedelic state, are animations depicting some of the deeper and most interesting experiences that people have shared.

A lot of this I think kind of talk is just a kind of variant of tall poppyism, just offhand comments like "nah man, it wasn't him, me and me mates were smoking that shit back in 96" Maybe some people were smoking DMT with an MAO like ayahuasca vine or leaf before 2003. But I never actually heard anybody when presented with changa, say, "oh yeah, I've smoked DMT in a blend of herbs with an MAOI before!" or anything similar to that. It was just so new, that most people just didn't get it or initially just treated it as a curiosity. For floyd and co, the ultimate DMT joint actually did have THC in it aka "the luxury joint" I changed my definition of a luxury joint to contain primarily ayahuasca vine with no THC. Floyd and co got onto the 50/50 vine combo when dreamtime became a "thing". There was one guy in europe, the main guy producing DMT for the scene there, in 2005 he was very skeptical about changa, but eventually came around and that became his thing. Before that, he was already sometimes soaking DMT in parsley. Around that time, my friend showed some changa to the biggest psychedelic drug mafia in the Netherlands, and she said they didn't get it at all! I got the idea for the mullein and mint from a guy who said they were the best herbs to smoke DMT with, but don't think he infused DMT into them. There were people doing stuff like this, you can read some rando internet reports about it, but it was just one off. There wasn't too much DMT going around in the early 2000's anyway, let along people infusing it into herbs or adding MAOI's. Even at Enthnobotany 2 that Torsten organised in early 2002, the only DMT going around was from my friend Daryl who was switching on people. One of the people he turned on was Jeremy, who went on to find DMT in many species (including acuminata) in WA. I remember Jenny from the states trying to buy DMT at intra cortex festival in 2003, and she said she could only find half a gram for some exhorbitant amount. I would go to psy festivals in 1999 and I was the only one with DMT there. The main point is, there was a community of people around at the time who saw Changa emerge and become more popular and become a "thing", and that happened through my efforts all around the world.

Contemplations will be screening over the east coast of Australia over December, with screenings in Byron Bay 11th of December, Brisbane 12th December, Sydney 15th of December and Melbourne 21st of December. “Contemplations: On the Psychedelic Experience” is a documentary based on over 50 interviews, distilling the wisdom of experienced psychedelic explorers in the Australian scene. Interspersed with deep “contemplations” about the psychedelic state, are animations depicting some of the deeper and most interesting experiences that people have shared. Will we will have a 10 minute intermission in the middle, followed by a Q and A with the director and some of the people featured in the documentary. https://www.contemplations.zone

Me too! Let me know. I have paypal and cold hard cash.

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.

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.

I've recently posted the crowdfunding for the "Contemplations" documentary-series on indiegogo. There you can watch the 4 minute video about this project. The result will be a 5 hour exploration, which has distilled much of the wisdom of the Australian community into a kind of a guidebook to these states. Please support this project with a pre-purchase of $20 of the finished result, which will be released in April. I've also recently started a youtube channel into which will be posted sections from the interviews that didn't make it into the final cut, but are nontheless wonderful.

Now I have spare seed packets from the Philipines, 7 pods most have 2 seeds in them. $7 you can send me a paypal. Message me on here!

Some people are saying the arkham botanicals seeds are not phyllodium.

A place to buy pullchellum seeds from the UK and also a guide to growing! https://www.arkhamsbotanical.com/shop/seeds/phyllodium-pulchellum-angels-locks-seeds/ https://www.arkhamsbotanical.com/cultivation/how-to-grow-phyllodium-pulchellum-from-seed/

I was doing a google search on Phyllodium and found that someone is selling the seeds on ETSY of all places, harvested in Thailand. Seems legit! https://www.etsy.com/listing/668953332/phyllodium-pulchellum-from-thailand

Flux, You caught me seeing this topic in the corner of my eye, as I don't come here very much. I don't remember what time of year it was. But I know the bark doesn't taste of much any time of year.

Herbalistics just made a post about germination. "Not a very interesting looking picture but these are germinating Phyllodium pulchellum seeds. A few tests and I’ve discovered that seeds older than a month or so enter a dormancy and hot water treatment helps to break it. Just boil the kettle, then hit the seeds with hot water for a soak for a few hours before planting."

Darren from Herbalistics just posted a picture of a Phyllodium Pullchellum seedling on their instagram and facebook page. Someone asked if plants would be available soon and they said "Just learning from it, working out seed germination and seedling growth. We do have Desmodium gangeticum plants this season too."

This is an extended narrated version of a powerpoint presentation posted on youtube, from a lecture given at Entheogenesis Australis Conference, 10th of December 2017. Entheographical Explorations : Global Research on the most viable 5-MeO-DMT containing plants

Thanks for the props guys! Good News! Seeds will be for sale within Australia soon, I'll give a link when it eventuates! Also, I managed to find a specimen in a greenhouse here in Thailand which was seeding as well :-)

Instead of going out there and trying to find Acacia Obutsifolia and going through all the hard work to get some bark and possibly maim or destroy some native flora, there is a far more common tree and it is called "Acacia Floribunda", which is more common, and has a very friendly, refined tryptamine content. Unlike, Obtusifolia, where you will get a small tryptamine content out of the phyllodes from most strains, you will get 0.3-4% from the Phyllodes that is of killer quality and that you can make brews from. Also, this goes for Acuminata on the west coast, the phyllodes contain up to 1.5%, so I hear. The bark contains more, but at these sorts of yields who is complaining when it is so much easier to take the phyllodes. I guess people are taking the phyllodes of these species because bark has traditionally been taken because Obtusifolia phyllodes are not to be useful in SOME strains - having said that, some strains on the south coast of NSW, contain good quality tryptamines at about 0.5%. KNOW YOUR STRAIN! Julian.

This is a very rare Acacia, which has not been commonly cultivated. A friend collected these ripe seeds and gave them to me for distrbution to the community. So I have quite a few seed pods here, and am willing to give away 30 seed pods - simply send me your address and I will send them off to you! Julian.

Skellium, Sure you can message me about the book.

Skellum, Salvia may be undesirable as it can "take over" a blend of changa, so it becomes more of a salvia journey than a "changa" journey. FWIW, I came up with the word changa and innovated combining DMT with a blend of herbs containing a mixture of herbs and caapi vine. You can read the development of changa in my book Articulations and in Graham St John's book "Mystery School in Hyperspace: A cultural history of DMT"
