Obtrusion v Madness

Thelma,

Sort of based of your comments in the "Alcohol

Alternatives" thread and observations I have made

for my own experience:

1. Abruptly stopping drinking after doing it

fairly hard for a week or more certainly increases

the "head noise" along with vivid black and white

dreams etc. Sort of the mini DTs I guess.

2. B-12 deficiency for whatever reason (N2O;

pernacious(sp?) anemia; less than great diet)

seems to bring along thoughts similar to what

you have mentioned here.

Injectable (IM though SC works well also)

Neo-Cyanocobalamin is available OTC at chemists

at least here in Victoria.

3. Abruptly stopping all sorts of substances

include Caffiene has thrown me into similar states.

Of course the chances are that this is not

applicable to you at all - it might give you

some clues however.

Antismoking tobacco?

Posted February 25, 2003

Sort of on topic:

Listening to the radio last week (Local ABC

station) and they had someone talking about the

hazards of "Chop-Chop" which I understand to be

illegal, under the counter tobacco.

Supposedly this tobacco is sold by weight,

therefore it is often made wet before sale to

increase profit.

This can cause a toxic fungus to grow with-in the

tobacco, which is inhaled in the form of spores by

the unsuspecting smoker. She claimed that there had

been four cases in Sydney due to this fungus - the

people present with fairly vauge but severe lung

problems etc.

She also went onto say that there was evidence

that the chop-chop producers were adding fungacide

to their product to avoid the above problem but

were potentially causing other problems.

For all I know, this is a scare put forward by

either Philip Morris or the Tax Department - can

anyone verify this information?

Anyone got any information if these crops are

diverted from supposedly commerical plantations

or are they specifically grown to become

"chop-chop"?

Chop-chop has increased in price dramatically

due to the drought. Perhaps I should be flogging

off some of gomaos' Virginian I have out the back

to the under-age school kiddies hanging out the

front on the Milk Bar?

On-Lucid, you should very much prefer to purchase

locally rather than import. Also read my above

post where I recommend caution in purchasing

locally

(with out taking the time to look up the act;

reciting from memory...)

The Customs Act has a clause in which it is

essentially stated that they can prosecute for any

Direct Precursor to a scheduled substance as if it

was the scheduled substance itself.

Their interpretation of Direct Precursor would be

'proven' by a written statement by a professional

chemist.

I haven't looked lately, but I do recall some

1,4-BD -> GHB reactions probably via GBL; yep

here we have one:

Also be aware that they will also probably do a

'Controlled Delivery' so that they can attach you

to the import and throw a posession charge at you

also (actually, I don't think they could do that

as 1,4 isn't explicitly scheduled - they'll

probably just be creative and throw something like

a conspiricy to manufacture a scheduled substance?)

So after they have searched through your (parents)

home to see what other mischief you've been up to,

(and in the process uncovered dirty magazines which

you'd hidden one evening many years ago in a burst

of Catholic guilt and had eventually forgotten

existed) you explain to them that you were only

importing the substance to clean your CDs.

"Ah ha," Mr. Law Enforcement Officer says to

himself, making a note that you have admitted to

being the 'sponser' (I think that is the legal

term) of the package. His job is now much easier.

Imagine what else they might uncover in your home.

Shit, in Queensland (mostly due to an anti GHB

media campaign BTW) there is a law which

explicitly prohibits the posession of documents

describing illegal drug synthesis!

You think this is unfair and wish to fight it?

Then be aware that if you fail to win, you will

be up for costs incurred by Custsoms in prosecuting

you (same if you plead guilty, but they would be

significantly less I'd imagine). The rules for

Customs in the court are a little different also,

in that the extent to which they have to prove

that you in fact imported the substance (ie. they

do not have to show to the extent of Beyond

Reasonable Doubt)

The Customs act used to state that you could be

convicted if you "knowingly or recklessly" imported

a prohibited substance, but under the guise of

hardening up our importation laws for the Sydney

Olympics the scope for convictions was broadened

significantly (not sure what the exact wording is

off the top of my head)

So imagine that you've either been found guilty

or pleaded guilty - forget any overseas travel to

the 'states (and various other places) as you have

a conviction for importing what they regard as a

Schedule I substance (remember your ultimate charge

is of Importing GHB, not 1,4-bd).

At least you can tell your friends that you were a

'Mister Big' if you tried to bring in over a litre

(have a look at:

http://scaleplus.law.gov.au/html/pastereg/.../0/PR000080.htm ) :

http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/ongoing/webslinger.html

http://ca.news.yahoo.com/020919/6/p1z5.html ) I

legit suppliers are much harder to come

by.

I am not saying that the above would be your

experience if you decided to import, just that

you should be aware that it is a possible outcome

which you should take steps to avoid.

BTW if you do happen to find yourself in a

situation similar to above, follow this golden

rule: Say nothing about the matter until you have

seen a lawyer. Actually, I'll put it in bold as

it will save you so much grief:

Say nothing about the matter until you have

seen a lawyer.

Oh, and get a lawyer who knows their shit, ie.

not someone who spends most of their time setting

up trusts for rich arseholes.

quote:

One forum member had a real bad experience with cops turning up and turning his place upside down, just because he tried to import GHB precursors.

Wonder if we can get him to post his story?

Poor thing; though I hear he fought the case hard

an managed to mostly get off with no conviction due

to exceptional circumstances - however this was

before the substance had been demonised as being

a Date Rape Drug and having no medical value (I

have a clipping from a Sunday Herald Sun (ie

very conservative paper) from around 1997

where a medical advice column written by Dr. Wright

recommends GHB as a successful treatment for

alcoholism - so true!)

What is interesting is this is seemingly in no

way good for Howard electorally. Anyone who has

followed Howard's maneuvers over the years would

be aware that most anything he does is purely for

electoral reasons - this man is poll driven. For

him to break this in such a drastic way for the

septic yanks just shows the hold they have over us.

The idea of him slinking over next week to get his

next set of instructions off baby Bush is so

humiliating and condescending towards Australians

that I could imagine it being an image that he

never recovered from.

I just hope that the media plays it for everything

it is worth.

Listen to this quote if you want to suck on a bit

of Bush-Howard dualism:

quote:

Mr Owens (US deputy chief of mission in Canberra)

was "expressing the view that because Labor has accused John Howard of deceit in relation to

deployment of the troops, that that is the same

thing as calling President Bush a liar"

...

To the embarrassment of the US, a report yesterday which was traced back to its Canberra embassy suggested that a formal complaint had been lodged about ALP criticism of Mr Bush, amid US charges that the Opposition was damaging the alliance and fanning "anti-Americanism".

This is just so fricking outrageous. To call Howard

a liar is to call Bush a liar? To criticize Howard

for deceitfully sending our troops over to a war

which has nothing to do with us is anti-American?

Again, this is just so fricking outrageous.

Everyone should go out and see 'The Quiet American'

for an insight into the US attitude towards foreign

states.

Queen of The Damned Trip Report (wasn't gonna be long but ended up like that)

Ok im just about all typed out but some might find this a bit interesting.

The sequel to "Interview with the Vampire" is currently being filmed where i

live. They are calling it Queen of The Damned but basing it on the second

book (The Vampire Lestat). Anyways at the moment they're filming the Death

Valley concert scene so I thought i'd sign up as an extra and mosey on down

with some psychedelics

I had a scan through my suitcase (for those that have seen my suitcase it

has since been updated with a HUGE variety of drugs) and decide i would take

some LSD and make some cigarettes (got one of the little machines)

consisting of Pot , Damiana Herb , lionstail , Mugwort and Salvia Divinorum.

The concert was last Friday night and everything was being kept hush-hush.

Basically they were filming at a very secret loction (absoloutley Nobody

knew where it was) and those that signed up were simply given the address of

a warehouse where we could all meet and then would be transported on buses

to the filming location. I got dressed up in black pvc pants put on a tight

tshirt made of stocking material and a black pvc trenchcoat along with boots

makeup jewellery etc so I would look immensely inconspicuous when I got

there (funny that) and jumped on some public transport with a friend. It

took about an hour an a half to get to the warehouse and that was an hour

and a half filled with stares and jeers from the rednecks and yobbos that

populate my area and there are a hell of a lot. When we got there we had to

line up with hundreds of goths and weirdos so we could be frisked by

security and i though it would be a good time to drop the cid. I knew if I

was frisked the cigarettes would be found but there was no possibilty that

anyone would know that they weren't real cigarettes. I didn't have any

troubles once I got to the security guards because I got pulled out of the

line by a reasonably good looking female security guard and she basically

just asked if I had any contraband (recording devices , drugs , alcohol

etc.) and then proceed to pat down my back pockets , then she patted down my

back pockets again and the once more for good measure

I jumped onto the nearest bus , all in all there were about 10 shabby

looking buses and all the bus drivers seemed to be scared out of their minds

that the weirdos they were transporting might suck their blood or something.

I sat at the back with my friend and we left. After about half an hour of

driving it became very clear that this secret location was well out of the

city limits and we were heading to a remote country town somewhere. Heres

where it started to get a little fucked up: The acid had long ago started

working it's magic and I was having a great time talking to complete

strangers on a bus filled with some of the most interesting looking freaks

around when we noticed we had been driving down this desolate country road

for some time. I looked up to the bus driver and he wasn't looking good at

all. Eventually we pulled over to the side of the road and it became

apparent that we were completely lost. All mobile phones had been left at

the warehouse as they could not be used on the set and the bus had no radio.

I went up to the bus driver and said "show me the map" and get ready for

it...........................................HE DIDN'T FUCKEN HAVE ONE! All

he had been given was a bit of paper with stupid directions like : drive

down this road for about 7km.

We were absoloutely in the middle of nowhere , a good hour or so from the

city , no maps , no communication with the outside world , nothing (cept a

head filled with acid). I started panicking , we were lost and we had no

idea where to go , my mind started to freak on me and i stood up and shouted

"YOUR SOULS HAVE ALL BEEN BLACKENED WITH DEATH!!!!!!!! WE NEED TO GET OFF

THIS BUS!!!!! A bus full of confused and frustrated goths all focused there

attention on me everything was turning to shit when my extremely quick

witted and intelligent friend created a diversion by standing up , throwing

his fists in the air and shouting "POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!!!!" This worked

amazingly well and basically just made everyone think we were a couple of

dickheads. He pulled me down and started calming me and trying to soothe me

letting me know that it was going to be ok. Suddenly someone spotted another

bus in the far distance , I shouted "follow that bus!!!" and we took off.

It took a while but eventually we caught up and it turns out the secret

location was in a HUGE quarry in a town called werribee (country town in

Victoria , Australia) even from the gate it was a good couple of miles to

the filming location.

I walked around and scoped out the scene , they had a large number of

catering buses with some delicious looking food so i dived in. I wasn't at

all hungry but the aroma of the food and it's texture were practically

calling out to me. I ate loads of food then walked around and started to

talk to people. It was a crazy environment , it would be weird enough

looking at these people without the LSD but it was working wonders. The

faces of people would morph and swirl as I spoke to them , I would touch

peoples faces but no-one seemed to mind , everything was pleasant ,

everything was positive and felt great. I felt amazing.

As the sun was setting filming started, the cameras filmed us as we walked

to the set where the concert would be.

I was completely blown away. The set was amazing , there were 4 metallic

pillars on both sides of where the audience was to be which shot big balls

of flames randomly , the stage was covered with large jagged silver

triangular ice-berg looking thingies and on both sides of the stage there

was a huge golden egyptian statue , one was a jackal and the other was a

huge eagle-bird-type-thingy. The set looked amazing and was a perfect and

mind blowing setting.

The guy on stage ran us through what he wanted us to do while they filmed

and the guy who was playing Lestat walked out.

This was eerie , he almost looked exactly like Brandon Lee.

His fake band to play fake music while he was fake singing came out also.

Becky Mavis (of the mavis's) was playing fake keyboards and this blew me

away. I have met her a couple of times and consider her to be mind-blowingly

gorgeous. Also on stage was the guitarist from the Mavis's and John Farnhams

son (LOL).

They ran us through a quick rehersal of the song Lestat was too sing and to

my amazement it was actually Jonathan Davis (Korn) singing. Here I was in a

crowd of goths watching Brandon Lee sing with the voice of Jonathan Davis ,

It was fucking cool!

damn im going into a hell of a lot of detail here. sorry guys.

Anyways Lestats band would walk out , followed by Lestat and fake roadies

would run around plugging in fake instruments. the crowd roared as he took

the mic. He would start to sing and the crowd would throw their fists into

the air in time with the music. Everytime the music would hit a peak balls

of flame would shoot from the pillars and caress my face with warmth , the

music was almost rythmic and i was close to being in some sort of trance

"I see hell in your eyes"

"Taking me suprise"

"Kissing you makes me die inside"

or something like that anyway , i can hardly remember.

Stunt crowd surfers would be passed over my head as cameras swept in and out

and over the crowd. Helicopters flew over us filming the crowd from afar.

Lestat was great up on stage he fulfilled the rockstar persona to the

letter.

I turned around and saw a guy dressed as the devil. Now he was really

looking like the devil he had the facial hair and everything. I said to him

"Hello devil" he said "Hi" i told him he was on my real list and that I was

inspired to surf the crowd along with the other stuntmen and stuntwomen. He

gave me a leg up and I was thrown forward. Flames shot out and filled me

with warmth as my entire body was handled by hundreds of strange hands , the

experience was almost orgasmic. Cameras swept over my body less than a

2metres above me and as I was passed forward I could see right into the eyes

of lestat. Suddenly the crowd gave way and I plummented onto the crowd but

managed to stand up and throw my hands into the air. People were applauding

me and complete strangers would come up to me and mutter odd things. I

scanned through the crowd and managed to find my friend. I was starting to

freak out because they were basically shooting the exact scene over and over

and over again only ever making it halfway through the song. I felt like I

was trapped in some sort of bizzarre time loophole and things were getting

extremely fucked up. i told my friend I didn't think we could break out of

this time loop and he dragged me out of the crowd and we sat in the dirt and

chilled for a while. He talked total reason with me , explained everything

and helped me to calm down yet again. Shortly after we were able to return

back to the crowd.

I was in the crowd again this time they were only filming what was on stage

so I was able to have a good social experience with everyone else there. I

would talk to complete strangers and people would gather around and feed off

of me listening intently as psychobabble spat forth from my mouth. I lit a

cigarette (joint) and passed it around. Everyone was extremely grateful for

the smoke , we all chilled out and things were very peaceful. A girl that

was there announced to me that her breasts were a D cup so i held them and

said "Yes! yes they are."

I put my arms around the girl and this is when something extremely fucked up

happened:

I am grossed out EXTREMELY easy , even everyday things that might resemble

something a bit gross like a wart or a cyst or something I have extreme

issues with.

I was rubbing her back up and down when I noticed that my hands were sort of

covered in this warm wet gooey creamy sort of substance. She looked at me

and said simply "Oh , I think you may have burst a blister or

something.........."

FUCK!!!!!!!

I freaked out my brain started to have spasms , my heart was pounding deep

inside my chest , i wanted to run , so I did.

I ran and I ran until I reached the porta-potties , I threw myself inside

and locked the door. I turned on the tap and scrubed and scrubbed and then I

scrubbed some more. Then I scrubbed my face and looked in the mirror , I was

amazed at my reflection , I looked very different. I had mascara running

down my cheeks and my pupils were huge.

I touched the mirror , it felt so smooth.

I must have spent the next half hour or more locked in that porta-pottie

just looking into the mirror , crying (complete happiness) and thinking. The

peak was coming to an end and I knew there was not much left but I thought

it was best to spend the last few moments on my own.

I sat on the toilet and had some amazing reflections on my life. Everything

seemed so beautiful and I was actually filled with hope for the world , for

everything.

When I finally emerged from the porta-pottie there were people waiting there

that must have been waiting for some time. I hugged them and told them it

would all be ok.

On my way back to the set I smoked another joint , I was feeling very

relaxed and very at peace.

They were still shooting the same scene , Lestat was still up on stage

singing with the voice of Johnathan Davis and they were still cutting at

half the song.

I wondered if i would ever hear the whole song or if I would have to wait

until the movie was released.

By this stage so many hours had passed and it was absoloutely freezing cold.

I found 2 girls that I knew and snuggled comfortably between them as they

wrapped their arms around me.

My moments were spent longing for the pillars to shoot more balls of flames

so I could be warmed by them.

Im gonna have to end this real soon and im doubting anybody bothered to even

read this far but basically the shooting went through till about 6am in the

morning. Some highlights were when they hooked lestat up to some stunt

rigging and he flew down from the sky to be on stage and when the actors

were having a break they brought out some real bands that played terrible

cheesy goth music , oh and a big highlight was when they got Johnathan Davis

on the phone and we all sang "I fucking hate you" to him and he said "I

fucking hate you to" (he's a sweet guy). I spent a few hours lying in the

dirt cuddled up to about 5 other people trying to get warm but these were

filled with almost fully awake dreams of an unusual nature.

We all got on buses at about 6:30am and traveled back to the city, it was a

fantastic experience and im looking forward to the release of the movie.

Akasha will be played by Aliyah and the movie will also feature Vincent

Perez and Len Olin.

thats about it for my vampire trip report , sorry it's so fucking long but I

got side tracked and just couldn't stop typing (yes i am indeed on drugs

right now!)

woohoo!
