  1. yum :shroomer: ... although your gnome may want to brew the manky ones. Also there's a bit of excess myc there so your gnome might get dirt in its mouth. Whenever my gnome gets too much myc on a shroom he snips it off with his gnome fingernails and either chucks it somewhere nearby to spread the myc or puts it in another bag for use in the cardboard tek later.


  2. Yeah now that I look at them again they just look dry, it's just how the tip of the cap is still the caramel colour while the rest had dried that made it look weird.

    [edit] I've never seen them dry like that with a uniform two tone colour thing happening.

    As long as you know they're the goods then it's allgood I suppose.


  3. "Mexican criminals have become more prevalent as principals in the importation and supply of cocaine and associated money laundering," the report says.

    "There is concern that they may also import the violent practices which have been reported overseas."

     

    Mexican criminals, they're the worst! Most criminals of other nationalities practice non violence to ensure a hold of the market.

    "Because of technology, because of the evolving nature of our economy, crime has gone global, increasingly crime is transnational," he said.

    "Criminals are no longer recognising boundaries of states"

     

    ...And don't get me started on them goddamn globalists!


  4. I have got to know sally pretty well

    I don't believe in spirits, but I think it's helpful seeing this 'space' as one ruled by a strict but fair godess of some kind.

    Conclusions or impressions of mine are typically different from believer's ones. But we all share some common phenomena we exeprience, like the binding, cutting, razors, splitting etc...

    ...the afterglow's aftermath were more spiritual and more meaningful and TANGIBLE, not that the experiences themselves weren't of interest or importance.

     

    What do you mean by the words "spirits" and "spiritual"? What does "meaningful" mean exactly? What do you believe to be the meaning of these terms you use to describe your experience? What is a "believer"?

    Never met dimitri so far, sally is legal here... Sally is not liked by shallow-recreational type drug people. Can't tell the same with the classics...

     

    Are you suggesting that people who enjoy the salvia experience are very tuned in enlightened beings? How do we fathom these sorts of depths? Can you measure insight and truth with some kind of objectivitymeter? Can you graph perception versus validity? I guess because you're a long time user of salvia your conclusions are more sound :P

    PS: Sally is a dissociative, so it's quite natural that a psychedelic would typically make more 'sense'.

     

    Makes sense. :)


  5. Sgt Sears said the parties were advertised through social networking websites rather than traditional media in an apparent attempt to keep them secret from police and other authorities.

     

    wtf? :blink:

    OR... OR! Just maybe it's a lot cheaper and easier to use the interwebs?

    ...to evade cops. Cops are usually reading the street mags to see where the advertised parties are at because they don't have access to social networking sites.


  6. Conceptually, the alien must be forever strange and new to us. (or it is not alien). It is never the answer, only more questions. I'm at peace with this being forever unknown. I want to get to know what is alien and I want it to always be just out of reach, or else the chase for novelty will end.


  7. As for what you can do in terms of direct action and making the public aware...

    Heads up, everyone.

    There is an episode of the ABC's Australia Talks scheduled for next Wednesday, 9 March, with the running title of "Banned plants". For those who aren't familiar with the program, it's an hour-long talk-back on Radio National that is broadcast nation-wide. It's on at 6:00 pm in Eastern Australia - other time zones should check their local timetables. It's also broadcast live on the internet.

    Australia Talks samples from the comments that are posted to its site, to read out during the show, and they will have two or three guest interviewees, as well as receiving calls from all around Australia. Their guests are likely to represent both pro and con, and it's quite possible that the con side will try to pull the wool over the listeners' eyes.

    This is a good 11th-hour chance to get the message across, and if there's anyone who is media-savvy and clued-in on the matter, I beseech them to call in and be heard on-air. If possible, tell the producer if you're in any way 'expert', and perhaps ask to be held back a bit in the queue so that you can address any nonsense that is bound to come up. I've spoken on this program in the past, and the producer will try to get a handle on what you want to say before putting you on, so you get the chance to convince them that you're worth putting on the queue at all. People outside of the Eastern time zone can call in "live time" if they call the number 1300 22 55 76 (1300 CALL RN) during the AEST 6:00 - 7:00 pm period.

    If you're not confident with the idea of speaking live to tens of thousands of Australians (and foreigners) at once, it would be better just to listen and leave it to the more eloquent folk to put our case forward. And for anyone who talks, be aware that if you ramble or go off-topic you'll be quickly canned. The idea is to make quick, important, and focussed points, and to do so in a fluent and interesting way. The more expert and relevant you sound, the longer you'll get. Don't labour on any one point - you'll be gonged - but make sure that each point you make is clear and self-evident. Usually they only give people one point or about 30 second's worth, whichever comes first, but with a bit of finesse it's possible to get a few points across.

    A good strategy if you're not familiar with the program is to listen to a few other episodes first, to get an idea of how it runs. If you don't think that you can get everything across in your own effort, coordinate with others and divide up a list of points to make. In this case, best to share the list and tick off points as they are made, because repeating a point is a sure way to be quickly gonged - unless you say something to the effect that before you make your point you just want to agree with what so-an-so said.

    So, the loquatious amongst us should think about calling, and the rest of us should be posting on their comments page (see the web page) as politely as we can and with as much detail as we are able to muster. Do it sooner rather than later, so that the regular ABC listeners and readers of the site can get an idea of the consequences. I'll post, but unfortunately I'll be at a seminar during the live broadcast.

    This is a big chance to be heard across a wide section of Australia, and to get people to make IMMEDIATE submissions to the government - be sure to include http://www.gardenfreedom.com in your posts on the comments page.

     


  8. Ask away. I was just being a smartarse! :P

    Long term? Ummm.. overgrow the government. Non compliance dance. Watch the system collapse as we stop holding it up. All started with a little bit of consciousness expansion.

    I guess the best any person can do is help themselves help everyone else. If you can detach yourself from feeding the system and still survive and be happy, then that would be a great model for people to follow. Of course be sure to not be a tall poppy like Waco or any other alternative community that decided to detach themselves from willful servitude lest you be martyred as a public example of what happens if you leave the fold. (Of course such events are used as a deterrent to living free, so you decide if you choose to buy into the fear mongering)

    The love police are great at demonstrating that the only real shackles are in your mind. If you remove those than you can do anything you put your mind to. In each 'standoff' with pretend authority that I've seen, their self assured knowledge that they are free to do as they wish (within bounds) easily bypassed the usual trap of fear mongering we all buy into.

    Just because a policy enforcer issues orders at you in a menacing tone doesn't mean it is the law and that you need buy into it. So how does common law treat all of this, if all of these new proposals only affect statutes and not common law?

    I am a complete layman in terms of law and legalese but it's well worth investigating.
