Hey man, sorry I can't help with a lift but I used to live in Clifton Hill until pretty recently myself! Just behind Queens Pde. I used to walk past a house on the Darling Gardens side of Queens Pde with a pedro in the front yard, was that yours?

Wow, blast from the past! Where's my cutting Andy! <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png

Sorry I missed it guys, have been moving house and all the hassles associated with. Very sad to miss the EGA thing and the meet both on the same weekend <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_sad.png

Woot woot, I felt the forum calling me and thought I better post here to say how sexy you all are

PS: Are you still in Sydney? I am happy to help you get your Cert 4 and then put in a good word for you at a few places to get you an IT job.

Hey man, drop me a PM and I will reply with my email address. I've moved house and don't have internet at the new joint, but can reply to emails while I'm at work. You can ask me any questions you have for help with your assignments, I'm sure you aren't dumb. I have a BSc in Computing.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/09...?section=justin Police in Fiji say they have smashed a drug racket which has been operating out of the country's main international airport. Drug traffickers had been smuggling methamphetamine into New Zealand in bags of powdered kava. Police believe the operation has been operating for many months. The Fiji Times is reporting that three Nadi international airport staff are being questioned and there are suggestions officials from the police airport unit and the immigration department may be involved. Police say the group changed their work rosters so they would be on duty when a particular flight was scheduled to leave. A Fijian citizen was arrested in New Zealand and has been deported to Nadi to face charges.

This year I am bring a giant roll of light mesh and twist ties, I want to make a giant mesh tent around my normal tent, 4we can build an insect proof enclosure <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png

Hey ME, I feel your pain. GABA helps to suppress dreams for me very effectively when it works, but it doesn't seem to work consistently (e.g. I'll take it one night and it'll be great but two weeks later when used again ineffective for suppressing dreams but all other effects are present)... What seems to be effectively consistent is kava (gee I seem to say that a lot <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_tongue.png)...try it out. A strong chamomile tea might make a good substitute.

I brought a whole camping kit down from Syd and then some, no worries. (with Virgin)

Can't wait till the Aliens get here and make us pair off for the forced mating...things will be so much simpler.

\ Where are you studying mycology?

Readers Digest is most likely reprinting something out of/in reference to one of Tim Lows books.

Yes, was most likely this ^^ aka Old Mother Sativa: /applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=http://forum.sensiseeds.com/fdata/uploads/20060929_144216_6lbs_OMS.jpg&key=a9223c68b3b883f5f31612edac137b19dfdceeafe62fa74bcfb46493e4393b2a Talk to Kog...

I want my dignity back!

From above paper... The conclusion says, THC can cause "transient psychosis" in normal people but it's not related to anxiety or "how stoned you are"? Confusing for me...please explain?

I have recently heard from someone on these forums they think in fact it was bush that gave them mental problems, rather than hydro.

What is essentially an identical study was also completed two or three years ago in Sweden or Switzerland or something using orally ingestible THC solution (probably containing some lipids or something). The result was identical. Why am I unsurprised 1. that hospitalising people and giving them large amounts of pure psychoactive compounds can cause psychosis? 2. that some UK scientist felt the urge to replicate this experiment (aka the world is probably out that grant money is readily available for anyone willing to do the dirty on "skunk cannabis")? 3. that what is a blatantly obvious smear campaign against cannabis use (following its initial status downgrade from class B to C in the UK followed by the re-upgrade back to class B before Tony Blairs ass had even hit the door on the way out) by the UK Home Office continues?

I reckon this demonisation of THC and "skunk" in the UK is going to come back and bite them right on the butt. Can't wait.

I challenge you to find even one single post in the last year where a "kid" (who is the crux of your concern no less) posted here with a question, was told to UTSE and then ignored? You are just talking out of your arse. Instead of using your posterior as a mouthpiece, perhaps you could peel it from the proverbial chair and "be the change you want to see". i.e. get off your butt, quit bitching at us, and answer the questions yourself if it actually concerns you. My guess is your concerns lie more along the lines of peoples inability to meet standards you have formulated but don't follow.

Great find! So is it difficult to cultivate and abundant in forest? Appears to be antiviral, antibacterial, antisecretory (i.e. no poopin your pants), some sort of vasoactive research has also been done: Aqueous and methanolic extracts from 26 medicinal plants used in Mexico to treat gastrointestinal disorders were screened to evaluate their antisecretory activity on cholera toxin-induced intestinal secretion in rat jejunal loops model. Extracts were tested at a dose of 300 mg/kg. From 56 samples tested, both extracts from Chiranthodendron pentadactylon, Hippocratea excelsa and Ocimum basilicum were the most potent with inhibition values ranging from 68.0 to 87.6%. On the other hand, the methanolic extract of Geranium mexicanum (aerial parts) and the aqueous extract of Bocconia frutescens showed the highest activity with inhibition values of 93.4 and 86.0%, respectively. The results obtained in this study give some scientific support to the use of the Mexican medicinal plants employed for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea. Dichloromethane and ethanol extracts of 12 plants with a history of use in traditional medicine, were tested for antiviral activity against herpes simplex type I. The most potent inhibition was shown by ethanol extracts of Eugenia jambos, Cistus populifolius, Lippia alba, Chiranthodendron pentadactylon and Tuberaria lignosa. http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal...=1&SRETRY=0 Antibacterial properties of aqueous and methanolic extracts of 26 medicinal plants used in Mexico to treat gastrointestinal disorders were tested against eight different species of enteropathogens: two Escherichia coli species; two Shigella sonnei species; two Shigella flexneri species; and two Salmonella sp. species. The results showed that all crude extracts exhibited antibacterial activity, at least against one of the microorganisms tested, at concentrations of 8 mg/mL or lower. The extracts from Caesalpinia pulcherria, Chiranthodendron pentadactylon, Cocos nucifera, Geranium mexicanum (aerial parts and roots), Hippocratea excelsa, and Punica granatum possessed strong antibacterial activity against most of the pathogens tested. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=A...35681f01d84be16 The present investigation describes the effects of aqueous extracts from Chiranthodendron pentadactylon flowers, Galphimia glauca leaves and flowers, Ipomoea stans roots, Juglans regia leaves and Taxodium mucronatum aerial parts on isolated rat thoracic aorta precontracted by noradrenaline (NA). In all cases, the aqueous extracts (0.5–12 mg/ml) significantly inhibited, in a concentration-dependent manner, the maximal contractile response induced by NA in rat aorta. The most active extract was that of G. glauca flowers. These findings indicate that the active principle(s) present in the crude extracts can exert a vasorelaxant effect http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=A...8df798c4e853829 Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC): Determination of the MIC values of various HSMP indicated different lethality of the extracts against P. aeruginosa. Among all the extracts tested, Anthemis nobilis (AN), Chiranthodendron pentadactylon (CP), Cassia fistula (CF) and Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (AU) had the lowest MIC values which ranged between 7-52 g/ml, suggesting that they had the greatest ability to inhibit the growth of the bacteria (Figure 1) http://healthy-synergies.com/Documents/1-2-9-15.pdf In our search for new antiprotozoal chemotherapy, we collected a selection of 26 plants used in Mexican traditional medicine for the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Methanolic extracts of these species were screened for their antiprotozoal activity against Entamoeba histolytica and Giardia lamblia trophozoites using in vitro tests. Among the tested extracts, the derivates of following species showed selectivity and significant antiprotozoal activity: Chiranthodendron pentadactylon, Annona cherimola and Punica granatum were the most active on Entamoeba histolytica with IC50 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=A...156b787d35f07a3 STERCULIACEAE Chiranthodendron pentadactylon Larr.; flor de manita, manita/little hand flower (Nicholson t077 EIU & Nicholson 1162 EIU): The infusion of the flowers is reported to be a calmative and cardiac tonic and is used to treat high blood pres- sure (Linares, Penariel, and Bye 1988; Martinez 1969; Sfinchez C. 1981; Uphof 1968). http://www.springerlink.com/content/glk27v03240u382h/ (click link for link to full text) Also there is this paper, which I have absolutely no understanding of: http://www.academicjournals.org/jmpr/PDF/P...a%20et%20al.pdf But in the charts it seems to indicate this plant is off the charts in...whatever it is they are testing...inhibition of ABTS radicals or something. Check it out. Couldn't find anything on muscle relaxants/lectin/etc.

Totally forgot about that ph, thanks for linking...kavalactones supposed to have an SNRI effect...mixing SNRI with ephedra is that good or bad I don't know?

The six main P450 enzymes (there are almost 50) are involved in the metabolism of many compounds, and also many compounds (grapefruit juice for example inhibits P450: 3A4, 1A2) can inhibit the P450 cytochrome complex. I am not trying to put your suggestion down or anything, it just seems weird to me to combine naturally potent sedatives and stimulants with the goal of counteracting the effects of the sedative? I mean, food cravings is usual sign of dopamine activity and when I drink kava want the energy levels to slowwww downnnn definitely not needing a "boost"? I guess it has some appeal from the "speedball" perspective if that's your thing?

I would love to see the microscopic differences of sub spores from each of the states they occur in.

Kava can mess with cytochrome P450 and so can ephedrine, probably best to not mix compounds which do that. Why would you want to combine them anyway?
