    Hi peeps. Long time, no post. :rolleyes:

    I'm travelling to the south island of New Zealand in a week and a half.

    Being a bit out of touch with ethnobotany these days I'm not sure what is still legal over there.

    I'm looking for people to recommend any ethnobotanical-type products I should try while there, that I can't try here in aus. Aswell as anything cool I can view at the Bot. gardens, or even the location of a good 'head-shop' type place to procure any interesting herbs. Even beautiful hiking spots, or anything cool they don't mention in normal tourist literature.

    Please do not suggest anything illegal. I don't want to rot in a 3rd world, foreign gaol. :lol:

    The Blue Mountains are happening. Went hunting for edibles on the weeked and netted a huge amount of saffron milky's and slippery jacks. We're eating well at my place. :lol:

    Saw heaps of those small golden coloured guys too but they really seem to want some decent rain. They all looked very dry and as someone else said, they were only growing in low points, or under large amounts of leaf litter. Of course I didn't pick any, they're not edible.

    >"Packs containing up to 12 milligrams of codeine will be kept behind the counter and dispensed only by a pharmacist who will record the customer's details. This includes 12-tablet and 24-tablet packs of Nurofen Plus and Panadeine.

    Customers will have to obtain a prescription for a 48-tablet pack or larger, leading many to stock up before so-called Codeine May Day."

    So, what about 'packs' containing more than 12mg, regardless of number of doses? Are they banned, or prescription only?

    I only just discovered this new hybrid today myself. I was checking on my mate Darcy's shop, as I haven't looked at his stock in a while, and discovered this little gem.

    This is such a great idea and could well be a valuable addition to the Ethnobot community. Only time will tell, I guess.

    Would love to hear people's exp. with this plant. Growing/caring and otherwise.

    It's been 2 years without net but I'm back.

    In that time I've been arrested, served a 12 month good behaviour bond, quit visiting shiva daily, moved into an apartment and watched my plants suffer from lack of micro-climates, been tattoo'd 6 times, and even had my license suspended, which I will get back in 7 weeks.

    I've missed everyone, and it's great to see so many new names. :lol:

    Just wanted to say hi to everyone, and apologise for my absence.

    I can't promise daily visits, but I'll be lurking.... :wub:

    That link gives me:

    The error returned was:

    Sorry, but we did not find any matches to display. Try again and broaden your search criteria. If you were searching for new posts since your last visit, it's possible that there are none to show.

    The search engine on this site nets me 1 result for most searches, at best. It didn't use to.

    I just had it happen to me today, for the first time ever!

    I had 0 messages last night, and after being sent a PM today, I have -1.

    After reading the new message, I'm still at -1.

    Oh yeah, the search function still doesn't work properly either, does it?

    Biggest mushroom I've ever seen growing at the farm I work at was a mutant Flat, that weighed about 4.5kg's. That was as big as a dinner plate. But that thing is a monster!

    Wow! :lol:

    And, yeah, there's nothing wrong with picking a mushroom. As long as it's veil has broken, it's done it's job.

    Steamed buns are the best! Kat makes them sometimes, and whenever I go to the city I make sure I get to chinatown for one. :lol:

    But, I find this story more sad than comedic as jasemateau did. I'm glad we don't live in a country so impoverished that someone would sell cardboard as food. I once saw a photo of children in Sao Paulo, Brazil, making soup from cardboard. Water and Cardboard. They just wanted to fill their stomach with something. :(
