Seen this today and thought it was really interesting. For a neuroscientist to be saying things like this it must have really shaken his world view. Source: http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/breaking/15068392/top-neurosurgeon-spent-six-days-in-heaven-during-a-coma/

I would love to see how a meth head reacted if they loaded up a bowl of dmt as opposed meth. I bet the meth head wouldn't think dmt is like meth Syner, I'm not sure how accurately the article was written but if there were a few ounces of finished product (probably in the form of infused leaf) then I wouldn't say it was for personal use. I completely agree that if you make something for personal use that is okay but when your selling ounces of the stuff you can hardly call it personal use. You could be the most enlightened individual in which case smoking it might be alright but if your selling ounces of it chances are you're selling it to people who will not get the same thing from the experience, who have not read about what to expect (so have not adjusted set and setting accordingly) and who could ultimately get quite fucked up from this experience which is at the end of the day is a contributing factor to the illegality of this most powerful transformative tool. On a side note having seen the above picture of those crystals I thought of the fortress of solitude in superman being made entirely of dmt, wonder how that would change the story.

Just reading that interview that you posted Syner and it seems whitewinds suspicion of him having no experience with psychedelics is true: Would like to see what he thought of the above statement having tried ayahuasca or mushrooms.

Yeah you'd think a neuroscientist would have a fairly rigorous definition of proof, apparently not. Also I dunno about you guys but floating around in pink clouds for all eternity isn't really my idea of heaven. What I found most amusing was his descriptions sound so cliche, his subconscious must be pretty boring . He is apparently a professor at Harvard so I wonder how this will effect his research into neuroscience and it's role in consciousness. Even if he's conclusions that it was when his brain wasn't functioning aren't right at least his ideas of consciousness will be somewhat different after the experience and consciousness is I think the least explored thing in this whole universe but it is the whole universe. On a side note it must have been a pretty slow news day, as much as I found this article really interesting I'd hardly call it breaking news..

Bit squashed down with uni at the moment but it'll be worth the extra cram to see you guys so I'll do my best. Anyone know how much tickets are likely to be at the door?

Thank you everyone. PH: I've got a viridis which surprisingly didn't drop any leaves over winter unlike others who live around my area. I think it maybe the microclimate I planted it in. Only problem is it grows really slow which is a shame since I think the viridis is a beautiful looking plant so I was thinking a nexus might go well in my garden and after reading what you guys have said I think I'll go with that. Maybe in another 10 years my viridis may resemble a bush

I got wrongly put on ritalin as a child and I believe it was a major factor in the amount I was getting in trouble at school. I refused to take it at 15 because I could see it was slowly but surely fucking with my life. I'm now at university studying engineering and I think my decision to stop taking ritalin has helped me get there. Moral of the story - Don't feed your kids amphetamines or analogs thereof everyday and expect things to improve </rant>

Happy birthday mate!

Just finished listening then, it certainly was a teaser! Got to agree with you DTB it should have been longer. Good to see these topics getting some attention

For those like me who missed this and cannot find the podcast on the website a little snooping does wonders: http://mpegmedia.abc.net.au/triplej/safran/safran_2012_09_30.mp3 http://mpegmedia.abc...fran_2012_09_30 .mp3 (Space between "2012_09_30" & ".mp3" put it to bypass automatic media tags being placed around the link so remove that space before you goto the link)

Hey mate, I'm pretty sure I'm sorted now. I'll let you know if this changes

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone out there has a small seed packet of Ololuiqui that I could buy/trade for. I don't have heaps of stuff to trade so buying might be a better option but here is what I have for trade; Acacia Obtusifolia Trichocereus Peruvianas (All Seed) PM me if you can help a brother out

PMed

I'm in need of help from a trustworthy american to help me with a small errand. In order to qualify for the task they must be currently in America and not using a proxy. The reward will be the documentary 'The Secret Life of Mushrooms' sent to them. Please PM me for details. Thanks heaps, Shamanistic

Happy birthday mate

Done.

Holy shit, unless they are different Loius Vuitton I've heard some people talking about them. I guess this is what happens when things are demonised.

Happy birthday man!

The most amazing feeling for me in the large spectrum of possible feelings is that feeling of discovery/seeing a higher order, quite humbling indeed. You are one lucky duckling T!

Yes Mr Government man, store all my private browsing information including my credit card details, emails/passwords, etc. SallyD, you bring up a really interesting point regarding how reliable the information gained is to be presented as evidence in court. I'd say if this stuff continues happen the more the public will be against their information being stored. Even MSM is calling police state on that planned legislation; http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/internet-data-tracking-proposal-seen-as-a-police-state-20120828-24yvn.html Although they still jump up and down when groups like anon, lulzsec and antisec do things like this to make the general public fear them and think their evil but why would a hacker whose worked to get your personal information for malevolent purposes then proceed to tell the world and release the whole database (stripped of personal information). I don't know about you guys but if I wanted to hack something to steal money/identity I would want to tell no one so that the least number of people changed certain details and keep law enforcement off my tail, maybe that's just me?

Happy birthday

Cardboard isn't bulk as such. You use cardboard to grow a culture to a nice size (surface area) and then inoculate a more nutritious spawn/bulk with that cardboard. So basically you cannot use it as a brf cake. Maybe if you add nutrients to the cardboard it would work better? I also think that would increase the risk of contams and therefore defeats the purpose of using cardboard in the first place. I could be wrong though. The less nutrients in your mushrooms the less nutrients they give you, oysters taste MUCH better with a high nutrient content.

Received today. Thank you skinny pete..I mean BF. Thank you Heisenberg..I mean PD!

Hmm if you can get the same effect from big electromagnets and meditation I need to find myself one of those machines, probably the same price as a kilo of rocking horse shit though.

Would the ibogaine still be in the persons system? Also theres a world of difference if it was 56 hours after the end of the session or before as I've heard iboga can be a 36 hour trip. I'm sure 56 hours after the session there'd be very little/if any in his system.
