    Hey Freakosystem, thanks for sharing your thoughts. You can definitely search for a number of words combined, but without manually reading lots of material it would be difficult to locate the example you have given in search results. Definitely a limitation of this methodology - we will always miss something unless we read all the content manually, which would be a monolithic undertaking :(

    We will be applying this search terms to posts on Shroomery and Nexus where we will also seek participant reflections on the project. Hopefully if we do miss something that could have been valuable another participant will point it out to us.

    Some colleagues and I are investigating how trip sitting is represented on psychedelic forums. I thought you guys might have some suggestions for search terms we haven't considered. At the moment our list is - 

    List of search terms: Trip sit, sitter, care, monitor, guide, therap, hold space, holding space, presen, shaman

    Note search terms only need to include the root term (i.e. the root search term ‘presen’ will return results including ‘presence’, ‘therapeutic presence’, and ‘being present' etc.).

    Yummy terscheckii for attention.

    I was talking to a colleague about the conseracacian project and he brought my attention to a similar project concerning Bufo alvarius that I hadn't heard about. Their messaging strategy was 'save a toad, exploit a chemist', through which they are basically trying to encourage people to preference synthetic 5-MeO-DMT. Apparently there are two related articles on Psychedelics Today and a webinar, none of which I have been able to find. If I do locate them, I'll share them here. If anyone else knows how to access them, please do the same! 

    Also interested to hear opinions on the ethics of smoking toad venom.When do you feel this could or couldn't be justified?

    Grafted up a bunch of Halycon Daze's unlabelled variegated seedlings. Stoked I'm not the only person in Toowoomba who is Tricho serious :D Looking forward to doing more work in his impressive garden! 

    Unrelated but also got some of HD's chilli on my eyes and genitals today. Not so stoked.

    I think cattle are regularly rotated in different paddocks, and dung is hard to spot from the car or Google maps. There are paddocks everywhere around my new home and many are green and damp at the moment, so I'm finding it hard to narrow down my search. I'm hoping there are some other markers like certain equipment, style of fencing, etc.?

    According to the rules provided by EG, if a 'name' isn't published, I think the 'name' would be considered an identifier. I would imagine peer-reviewed publications would be considered more valid, but this is problematic as it restricts naming rights to active researchers. 

    As most growers don't seem to know or abide by these rules, the validity of a name likely boils down to whether or not the name becomes part of the dominant discourse i.e. many growers start commonly using the same name.

    In my understanding, botanists are a lot more strict about naming than horticulturalists. A botanical name requires a plant to be genetically distinct. A horticultural or cultivar name may only be visually distinct. 

    I have many beautiful cuttings that have come to me unlabelled. As they are cuttings we can assume there are more of these plants in circulation, so I would not name these as it would cause confusion if the plant already had another name. Potentially, if I grew these cuts into large stands, and if the community and myself did not consider the plant identical to another, I might name the plant so people could trace it back to my collection. Still, I would prefer not to - the plant would have to be very distinct and I would need to distribute a lot of cuttings to make it personally justifiable. I might be slightly more willing to name a seed grown plant as it could be expected that there wouldn't be other clones of the same plant in circulation. Normally I prefer to avoid naming altogether. An unnamed plant might have a number or nickname in my personal collection but I probably wouldn't encourage people to label the plant as such. 

    I understand naming etiquette to be based on communication. Before naming consider if it will help more people identify the history of your plant. A plant's history likely goes beyond you. Are you naming to increase value, your own reputation or to make it easier for people to understand which plant you are referring to? That's the important point for me.

    Thanks for reaching out guys.  

     

    Insequent – I’m moving to Toowoomba because my partner got into a very competitive course at USQ. It’s a good opportunity for her so we’re moving up for the two year duration of the degree.

     

    Halycon Daze – you’re right, I do like plants! Thanks for all the great suggestions, I’ll spend time tomorrow exploring those :)

     

    Does anyone know of any public cactus-specific gardens around Brisbane or Toowoomba?

    Cheers,

    Liam

    I've heard plants need to be mature for their leaves to produce the psychoactive compounds in sufficient quantity. 5+ years was the amount of time from seed to harvest that was suggested to me. Perhaps you could reduce this time with a mature cutting? I'm not sure though - maybe someone with more experience can chime in on that. 

    Either way, if you were intending to substitute M. speciosa for your current medication, you would likely need a substantial amount of plant material. My guess is most M. speciosa consumed in Australia is cultivated internationally and imported from places nearby where it is more common, like Indonesia.

    I'm moving to Toowoomba in February and am hoping to connect with the ethno/entheo scene in the surrounding area, locals hit me up!

    I'm visiting on Monday to check out rentals and will have time to kill from 12-6pm. I'm driving to and from Brisbane airport and am keen to learn about the area and see new plants/gardens. Happy to bring cactus to share :)

    Sorry to hear about your experience. Have you had seizures before? Do you plan to taper down/off? I’ve often wondered how regularly people dose and in what quantities without experiencing withdrawals or other negative effects.
