sakura Posted April 12, 2004 http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/faqs/f...australia.shtml Just found this while I was looking for something else... Might be a handy one to bookmark (haven't had a proper look through it yet) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sakura Posted April 12, 2004 "The Australian Dept of Defence developed a technique for producing mescaline from eucalypt sawdust in fairly high yield back in '64. Here it is..." Hmmm Interesting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted April 12, 2004 Not interesting at all. The ingredients used are totally impractical and these days most of them are highly watched. vanilla essence would be just as good a starting material. This recipe never made any sense to me and does not deserve the attention it has been getting over the years. If it wasn't written in the FAQ no one would have ever bothered reading it. It has been discussed here on a few occasions.... as recent as 2-3 months ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sakura Posted April 12, 2004 lol... I'm a 'Natural Man' anyways Torsten What I thought was interesting (more amusing really...) was the Australian Military making mescaline Ever see the old video where the British Army tested LSD on its troops... (Really funny) Maybe theres an Aussie version floating around somewhere still under the Official Secrets Act... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted April 12, 2004 btw, i would like to see that advertising for the army becomes ilegal. another invention of that time was to extract sugar out of "black boys" sore, its a bugger of a latin name i try, xanthorizias. another war invention, this time by the germans, was to turn harwoods into pencil grade cedar using mycohoriza fungi !!

Torsten Posted April 12, 2004 sakura - yes, I agree that the concept is pretty funny. Especially given how crappy the recipe is and how desperate it makes them look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
