    Happy Birthday Psycho0

    Big ups to the birthday boy0.
  2. Great memories of crowding around in the dark on the Saturday night at EGA to peer over this tome. Asked Snu at EGA and he confirmed the reason I found it so great, he has actually gone back to all the original sources. No more references of references. If there is a claim the paper that makes it is referenced. Pretty much looks like all the claims are covered too There's dedication to the cause, then there's dedication to the cause!

    EGA- Bear Owsley Headlining - FRI 6-MON 9 NOV - Last Tix

    Big ups to EGA as usual. Nice to see the back of my head in that photo with another loverly forum member Sad to see not many Melb crew were out to support the mini EGA that happened on Sat, because I really enjoyed it! I missed some of the evening EGA talks due to volunteer commitments so it was a great opportunity to catch up on those, especially Robert Jesses talk. Bear was great and all, but it was nice to see real science happening and being reported to the comers. Some in the crowd obviously couldn't take it in, which I was really surprised about. To me it was very strange on numerous occasions to hear people in the crowd expressing narrow minded viewpoints against presented science. As others have mentioned the vibe was vastly different from last year or the year prior, it really seemed that everyone had "grown up" (for want of a better term) so the whole affair was chilled, smiling and happy sort of thing. Perfect, just bloody perfect

    Coleus blumei

    Hello! Time to (re?)drum up some interest in this plant. I've discovered a C. blumei green/purple plant growing in a crack of concrete in some persons driveway near my home. I'm planning a rescue mission. Anyone have any good advice on taking cuttings of this plant? I've never cared for a rainforest plant before. Also, while we're at it...I know some people on this forum have had hallucinogenic experiences with Coleus, like this post from theobromos ...anyone have any positive experiences from this plant? We should make an attempt to settle this once and for all. Possible starting points include finding a "pure bred" plant, or growing this thing to the crap until a psychoactive chemotype is found (if the psychoactivity is only in specific chemotypes).

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.

    Dream suppressors

    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 )...try it out. A strong chamomile tea might make a good substitute.

  20. http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/07...?section=justin Regulators are considering stronger warnings about popular anti-smoking drugs, with statistics revealing 400 psychiatric disturbances linked to the drug Zyban in recent years. A Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) spokeswoman says the agency plans to update information given to consumers about Zyban and another drug, Champix. Last week, US authorities last week ordered the manufacturers to place warnings inside the packets. But public health expert professor Simon Chapman has told 702 ABC Sydney that smokers are more likely to have mental health problems to begin with. "It may be that smoking's something that people with mental health problems ... do more than people who don't smoke," he said. "So that population group is going to have a background of incidents of mental health problems and it could be that some of these reports are reports about mental health episodes that may have happened anyway." There is currently no warning for Champix on the TGA website.

    The Lab

    Hi guys. The new lab is now fully functional. I have recieved PMs from many people asking how to get on, so here is everything. PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS INFORMATION, REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU THINK YOU KNOW. Guide to connecting to the lab using Xchat for Windows: Step 1: Download Xchat: Step 2: Open the zip file, and open the install file within. You can click next all the way until the install finishes, because the default options are fine. Step 3: Xchat will launch. You will see a window like this: Fill in the 'User information' fields. Nickname: Whatever you want your name to be on the chat. Second/Third choice: In case the others are already taken (probably not a problem in our case). Username: Whatever you want Realname: Whatever you want Step 4: In the 'Networks' section, click the 'Add' button on the right hand side. A new entry will appear in the left hand column. Simply type 'The Lab'. Note, this name doesn't actually matter so you can leave it as new network or whatever it is, if you like. Step 5: Immediately after, click the 'Edit...' button. A window like this will appear: PLEASE NOTE THE ABOVE ENTRY WHERE IT SAYS www.herbix.org IS NOW dynup.net You need to change all the options until it looks exactly like the above window, and these settings do matter so don't deviate from the above! You can edit the 'Servers for The Lab' by simply clicking on the server and replacing the text with what you need. Once you're done, click close. Step 6: You'll be back at the menu you saw in Step 3. Select 'The Lab' from the Networks list, and click Connect. The result of clicking connect should look like this: The program will probably stall for a moment or two as it determines your network information. Please do not assume it is broken if this takes a short while, let it go, and it will connect eventually. Step 7: You can talk to the people in the room by typing into the white box at the bottom of the screen, on the right of your nickname, and then hitting enter. PLEASE NOTE: After doing this the first time, you do not need to repeat these steps, from now on when loading Xchat the program will connect and join the room automatically for you. Notes: Changing nickname: type '/nick somenewnickname' (without the commas) into the text box. Joining a different room: '/join #someotherroom' Privat messages: Double click on someones nickname in the right hand column and it will open a private message window to them. That's it! I hope it helps! END OF GUIDE! Other info about the lab: The new chat is using 1024bit SSL (AES cipher) to encrypt all communication. This means that point to point communication is encrypted. No third parties can monitor communications over the network. As always, the public chatroom available to everyone is #lab. Now here are the caveats for using the chat. Any chatting done in the lab is counted as PUBLIC. That means, anyone who is in the channel can see what you are saying and write it down or log it or whatever. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND. Mentioning your most recent illegal escapade in public is not a good idea, and you should treat the public chatroom in the exact same way. Chats conducted in private message windows in the lab ARE completely private between the two parties. So as long as you trust the person you are chatting to, you can assume your communication in this regard is pretty secure. I have also implemented host masking, so nobody can see anyone elses hostname or IP address. The chat server logs absolutely nothing. If you are planning on chatting with the other lab crew, please extend everyone the courtesy of turning logging OFF in your IRC client. (logging is turned off by default in xchat and mirc) There is a bot in the channel I have named "Shivaya" to enforce various rules and such. I may eventually implement private messaging on this bot so people can store whatever information they like there over an encrypted connection. Much love. ~apothecary
