Yeah thats true, things do change. I just don't think it will in the foreseeable future (my time). Big Pharma influence$ government a great deal. I remember reading just recently about new trials with psychedelics, this is good news and hopefully it can help a few people. I guess not many (including myself) would have thought that would happen even 2 years ago.

So for Coca Colla, exporting the beverage widely would require the International Narcotics Control Board of the United Nations to take the coca leaf off the list of dangerous drugs, where it has been since 1961.
Yeah, like that's ever going to happen.
I seem to remember another story about South America "Coca Cola". It stayed in business for a while but then collapsed. I can't remember the country or brand though??

What is the relevancy to Safrole with eremophila longifolia? Do you have any info?"Steam distillation of the leaves gave an aromatic oil in 5.8 % yield. Various levels of safrole content between collection groups where recorded via fractional distillation and gas chromatography at (i) 72%, (ii) 90% mean / 93% best, (iii) 37%, and (iv) 0%."
(Australian Journal of Chemistry. 1961;14:663-664)
You will probably find that actual yields will differ depending on time of year, soil, condition of plant, etc.
There are quite a number/variety of Eremophila species, many of which have been used in traditional medicine by aborigines. e longifolia has good antiseptic properties due to safrole of which it is found in good concentrations as apposed to other species of eremophila.

Teotzocotyl told me about larosini,and she seemed to know what she was talking about, or so I thought.They weren't The seeds your thinking of, they should easily get through customs.
If someone is sending stuff through customs there needs to be certain forms attached, I had something on the AQIS OK list but not all procedures where followed so they detained them.
Some of the product that Dirty Sanchez was selling was way undervalued - sounds to good to be true, it probably is. Thanks anyways for the heads up about a dodgy seller, Atlas.

Heh. I mean I intend to contribute where I can, but at the moment there's a bit of a learning curve for me.I understand the feeling Wood, just have a read through old posts to build up knowledge, try and find a niche interest and I guarantee their will be dozens of similar minded people willing to chat.

Atheists like Richard Dawkins are as zealous in their disbelief as any fundamentalist believers IMHO.Very true, Dawkins does not seem to even want to challenge his own beliefs. It is good to hold an opinion, but we all should seek to make sure that what we believe in is still "correct".

What type of cacti do you have?

While I like the concept of a list there are a few issues. Some I can think of are
-Bastards sign up with a new username
-Stuff you order from overseas not getting through customs. You take the chance and you might get sent the red card. Not necessarily the fault of the sender.
-Sometimes things really do get lost.
Best to stick with reliable sources/ people with a few years activity.

I might have berries this year and there's no way I'll ask 20 euro. But I'm based in the same region, no idea if this 'll come trough to OZ ...When would your plants be in berry?
I doubt they would get through, customs is very vigilant here.

Sorry to hear you got ripped off Atlas. I remember a small while ago where Larosini was trying to sell e coca. It seemed a little fishy, plus totally illegal in Aus. Don't lose faith in community and I guess just deal with people who come recommended or who have been here for a fair bit.

There is a difference between killing and murderGovernment sanctioned murder is still murder.
What if those individuals are armed?Raising a gun to women and children is cowardly.
Agreed, come home safely boysOh I forgot the link, and yes for god sakes come home where you belong.Bring back kilo's of syrian rue.That is something we can all agree with

Make sure to use lead free solder. Silver solder costs about $17. You could end up spending more by building. Depends on how valuable you consider your time or if you are treating it like a hobby/learning experience.

Enjoyed the shopping video, those lads are brave. I thought it was funny/sad about the double standard of their filming versus CCTV in shopping centre.

I know someone who got a 419 in snail mail, looked all formal and personalized. Of course it said he had inherited a ridiculous amount from a relative he knows never existed.

The buzz could be a type of placebo effect, you're expecting a buzz so that is what you get. There are other substances in coca leaves that give the body a pick-me-up similar to caffeine, but much less so than cocaine. Ecgonine is another substance that is in coca leaves and you guessed it - banned.
The law is pretty clear when it states that no cocaine is allowed-period - unless you have legal permission to import. Therefore the leaves are decocainised or this dude is going to jail.

First one looks happy enough.

Gold, quality dope and guns will always retain their value (long term).Agreed, but you can't eat gold and quality dope should be periodically disposed of
Apparently Sweden is now a complete shithole or a Multicultural paradise lol?This is a tough one, why I enjoy friends and food from other places, you really need to have a stringent immigration process that weeds out the good from the bad. A classic example is when Cuba emptied their prisons and allowed them to go To US. The Miami area ended up with very serious crime problems. You also can't take your immigrants from one or two countries, this is one way the US has been successful by having a variety.

"Global Swashbuckling" I'm going to try and use that term in a conversation this week.

Rome fell, but it did continue on in other forms - eastern empire/catholic church. I wouldn't say that it will become phased out in every country, but it makes sense that they would want to do away with it. For example: People are buying drugs with cash, therefore if we go cashless so that we can combat it. Solution: Keep selling drugs and take the money through Paypal and register transaction as "books". Government response: We will still bust you for selling drugs, but thanks for the tax money, suckers.
Just look at all the ways cash is being phased out, very soon your mobile will be your wallet.

I think that people give too much credit to these shadowy organizations like Bilderburg / Illuminati, call it what you will. I doubt that some individual who is now long dead thought that he would be able to take over the world in his time. I mean there are nations that will never cooperate with the idea of being taken over. Now granted many former bitter enemies in Europe have essentially handed over control to a centralized authority there is still plenty of bickering and Europeans are fairly like minded.
I do think that there is a coalition, (not a conspiracy) of individuals/countries that do think that they know better and that a global government will solve the worlds problems, but I don't think there is a Illuminati type org pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Eventually cash will be made obsolete by governments, firstly by countries with smaller populations or totalitarian governments, then bigger ones. There may be some disaster or great event that might facilitate this "need". Reason why it will happen - taxes, governments are addicted to your money and they want it.

Can you tell us how tall your plants are and how much surface area they would take up.
