yup nicholas if the cops see you even talking about salvia divinorum you are likely to get a house visit. nobody here breaks the law, in case anyone was wondering. as soon as somebody questions legalities like this, we calmy inform them on australia laws, and what they can and can not do. thank gosh for us ethno responsible people, who know where to responsibly draw the line save the trees.

^ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....

that 'were' black? are these michael jackson hollyhocks? good luck

^ i want whatever he is on.

one day i'm going to be rich, and i won't have this 'trying to save money' thing. what gorgeous plants, man.

that seed grown as pach one... looking very macro did we have a run-in with knize, did we...?

to the first pic, yes it looks a little witches-broomy... awaiting other to clarify. nice cacti man.

i agree with pretty much everything being said here... once again i urge any young crazy men reading this, and thinking 'yeah i've got to try datura...' do what mutant is doing, and smoke it in small amounts.. or go buy kwells, that way at least it's standardised... but first and foremost, ask yourself, 'why'?

i too am interested in what your field of study is VS it's nice to see some fellow academics on here.

ahhh that is so cool. my baby!!! thanks man

okay doods and dudettes, this is Scop x Psycho0 refined all done. 1- stole his best mates' girl. wrong move buddy, wrong move. 2- gone. lost at sea. is now friends with an old soccer ball. 3- too many university assignments. head exploded during a biology lecture. teacher didn't waste the opportunity, and proceeded to point out the medulla, thalamus and cerebellum. 4- ate too many skittles. had a stroke, and the mri scan came up rainbow-coloured. 5- cried himself to sleep. the pain was so bitter, the salt in his caustic tears slowly burned through his skull overnight. 6- spent his entire life chasing a free-spirited woman, only to realise at the end, that he hadn't lived at all. ce la vi, my friends. 7- life in jail... murder... in cold blood, the bastard. 8- number 8 suffocated while on a camping trip. after a hard nights drinking, went to bed with beer on his breath... woke up with a throat full of snails. 9- daydreamed so much, forgot to feed himself. the inevitable happened, like that guy who died playing counter strike non stop. 10- his car broke down, and he was tired of getting it fixed for the umpteenth time. so he sold it for one of those dinky scooters. lost control on the first roundabout he came to, and careened into the grizzly bear pit at the zoo.

Man, that US military... is one of the most prejudiced and fucked up cults, ever... seriously, i remember talking to a us marine, he kept referring to ALL muslims as towel-heads, almost like they were inconsequential. there is so much of america tha't isn't like that, though. alot of them are really, REALLY good righteous people, in contrast to what everyone wants us to believe... but yeah, that soldier was most likely suffering from either PTSD, or some other mental illness. ^ and yup... australia is actually probably the closest country to being communist without actually being communist. to be honest this country generally does not have much culture, emotions are swept under the carpet and replaced with material idealisms, it is a country whose every base ancestor was an english convict - disease ridden, 'genetically inferior' populace genetics, all interbred on one island, filtered with different immigrants throughout the centuries. having said that, this is one of the safest places to live on earth... our kids can walk alone to school without much fear of being held hostage and ransommed by a feuding family, and we can - and this is a big one - walk the streets at night, practically anywhere, and feel safe. there's almost no other country in the world like this, except maybe some very easy going parts of canada. and the reality is, we've achieved all this through seclusion from the rest of the world - we are just so isolated where we are, and australias' western society has been born and sculpted over the last few centuries (remember we are still all almost 'immigrants'), and for that everything is very white bread, basic - but effective and clean(er). it's all just the cost of living here. personally i think westerners have nothing to do with that muslim section of the world, and after 9/11 instead of invading, we should have just said, "sorry osama. we're the better men". and showed the world that we can just move on to other things without being authoritative dickheads. that's why i hate it when people act all bravo around soldiers. i mean they don't even know the reason they're fighting. "for our country"? what do you mean, for our country? we don't NEED this shit. our governments egos just liked to have their dicks sucked, i mean get real. at the end of the day, there's only one thing that rings true; those with power... ...

hahahahaha that's great, i'm making that my main pick-up line.... hey baby... ever had sex with a bearded man? i'll insulate your love, in my fur.. hrm...i'll work on that one...

yah nicholas i was genuinely trying to voice a nice warm welcome (damn internet interpretations), with the 'where you live thing', sorry i was making reference to CLIMATE and LEGALITIES (the 'with certain plants thing') - not whether you're worth trusting or not, although post count would be a reference to reliability, but i mean that wasn't really my point... this is the internet, i have no reason to trust anyone unless i have their address and bank details, heh. i'm seriously not the 'dickhead' type of person, i promise, my good luck was in earnest. there's been a thread in the bitches and gripes recently about how easy it is to misunderstand what someone is saying on the internet, my rule is always assume the best, and if otherwise just ignore... again, good luck matey.

now that is interesting. i personally hate anything superficial, i can't stand plastic women and people who act like any sort of personality neurosis is a contagious medical emergency. so maybe it's good i'm growing this beard then - might filter the organic from the manufactured. i don't care if it's penelope cruz, if she can't accept me for my personality, she just ain't worth my time. thanks for the input ^

when a woman hugs me. and we have to act like, 'aw yeah it's just a hug, we're friends, tee-hee..' but the reality is, every time some girl comes up to me, goes 'hey how are you??' and then hugs me, all i can think about is how nice she smells, and how awesome she feels. that's my piece

well now that is just not fair . i do hear some women hate it though... oh well, too bad ^hahaha i hate shaving, i think that's half the reason i'm doing this..

pff was so going to mention the same thing. this chart wildy misrepresents psychotropic substance use in general, as well - gauranteed sometimes the only time someone in their life will experience acute, salient hallucinations. nevertheless, VERY interesting, and thanks for sharing

Hey guys, completely missed this thread. I used datura (white strammonium) when i was 16, after reading about it on erowid, and was subsequently diagnosed with a thought disorder/speech impediment that took half a decade to slowly resolve itself to a point where i could function as before. Datura is not a fantasia drug, it is (/can be) a poison, that can quite literally take away everything you have - i have since met others who have experimented with datura, yet who were fortunate to walk away unscathed. One fellow even took twice the dose i did, which shocked me quite significantly. Anyhoo, basically, don't fuck with datura, unless you want to risk your life - or your sanity, which my quite real adolescent medical bill can attest to. For those curious, during my recovery years i dosed choline regularly, as i had trouble cognitively processing social situations/emotions/feelings (the choline helped produce acetylcholine i was told... also, consumed a lot of normal tea (caffeine = acetylcholine release) + sage tea, for the acetylcholinesterase-inhibiting properties, i think it really helped in hindsight...). If i had to describe it, It's like datura literally ripped a chunk out of my brain, but my temperature wasn't even that high, not enough for brain damage anyhow. As it stands now, i am in my early twenties, and still haven't completely recovered. I used to be one of those smart nerdy types, but ended up failing high school completely... would just sit there vacantly in maths class, not understanding anything... embarrassing. For those who know brisbane, the plant was growing next to the indooroopilly bridge. All i had to do was pick it while walking home, and wake up three days later a different person. It's through a miracle i have been able to work my way into university, and have built an academic foundation upon which i can be as competitive as the rest.. I truly love my ethnobotanicals these days, however just know people, that there is a real danger associated with these plants... be careful. And in the case of tropane plants, don't touch them at all. Because the reality is, there is just no way of knowing what it is going to do to you. Sorry if i completely just attention-whore-hijacked this thread, i just feel compelled to add my little story here... sort of want to make sure people don't go through what i did... anyhoo... BEAUTIFUL PLANTS THOUGH GUYS. Do your research. Don't kid yourself. Can completely and utterly relate to this, you have no idea... however my own account was from a single large dose, and the resulting disability was, (at least i'm thinking,) much worse, and for much longer. It's like... you'd be staring at a tree, and someone would ask you to describe the tree, and although you can see it in your head... the words just... won't come out... or they come out very jumbled, and instead of 'tree', you say 'foot'... It really is like someone has removed a part of your brain... Like if you delete an important system file on your computer, and everything else screws up... kinda feels like that... ce la vi.

I wonder if it gets as big as tercheckii does?

hahahaha stop it with that thread, it's almost getting cruel now... howdy nicholas, if you got the cash, try the ethno stores, otherwise try trading in the free ethno thread... ...or maybe someone will trust you, and throw some stuff your way... ...yeah... out of curiousity, what part of aus you from N. ? depending which area you lived... might influence others' trust too, with certain plants... anyhoo, good luck.

sounds like you have spider mites? constant watering, especially under the leaves... anyhoo, good luck in your endeavors, don't forget about the SA shop, herbalistics, ebay etc if you have the cash. there should be many happy to trade... btw what sort of plants were you looking for?

Marcel, probably because so many people use the 'entheogen world' to escape reality. ...and when this stuff happens, their personal fantasy land gets blown wide open. And everybody gets defensive... because they thought they were 'gifted', with, 'secret knowledge' - only to realise that, in the real world, it's just a plant or two, with some chemicals, that trigger receptors in our brains. I mean sure, we could welcome this publicity. After all, it's what we want, right? Acceptance of drugs, in mainstream society... correct? ...But that would then mean facing reality, wouldn't it? That scary place, where bad things happen. tsk tsk. In my organic opinion, there are ethno-hobbiests, and ethno-fantasists. The latter are the ones complaining.

'new shoots'? that's a god damned forest, man. set for life!
