Thanks, Tip Top and Zeddd. Good to know. Lots of confiscations going on in the US supposedly.

Please forgive this non sequitur post, but the UK grower's thread seemed like the proper forum to ask. If not, kindly refer me elsewhere, please. I have a friend who will be visiting London very soon, and as a foreigner, he would like to purchase some souvenir seeds to take home. Is anyone...

Thanks for a great post! I know you mentioned in your first entry that you need 2 syringes of "what have you." Does this really mean I can use any variety of psychedelic mushroom at all? Specifically, I have these varieties in mind: a. Psilocybe cyanescens : Wavy Cap b. Panaeolus...

The circles are pretty secretive. Check out ayahuasca.com to see if you can make some in-roads. Otherwise, even ebay sells it, among many other vendors. The preparation is pretty time-consuming--about 8 hours of simmering on a stove, but the groups in the US and Canada charge a lot of money...

Can't wait to ride the burro. Have been waiting for well over 20 years. Canndo, what sativas have you smoked to take you closest to those places? If you can get close smoking, that is.

That was really beautifully put, canndo. So many people use hallucinogens just as a complement to the night's entertainment and alcohol binge, and that's cool, I guess. But you do your homework. I'd never thought of the "being inhabited" sensation on mushrooms, but I'll think about that...

I haven't seen any beings either, but I think it's something that would come with more rituals or at least more partakings. There's some very psychedelic art by long time indigenous ayahuascueros and shaman. It's all very dreamlike but they have remarkable similarities in their depicitions...

I wish I could tell you more about the chemical properties, canndo. I suppose I'm lucky that it didn't make me vomit either time. No one can argue that is ever a pleasant experience; however, if I had to vomit 10 times in a row to experience ayahuasca again, I would. Sounds crazy--well...

Well, I haven't taken it in synthesized form, but that's the exact formula of ayahuasca. I may have this backwards, but the ayahuasca vine itself is the source of the DMT, while the other plant (Psychotria Viridis the most common) completes the formula serving as the MAO inhibitor (again, if I...

This is the video that features the Shimbre retreat center where an 18 year old, Kyle Nolan from the US, died last September during an ayahuasca ritual. It appears by the so far unsubstantiated accounts that I've read, the death was possibly due to his ingestion of an herb that actually...

Sorry to bump the thread, but just saw it and wanted to share that I have tried ayahuasca on two different occasions and have no regrets at all. I do have a cast iron stomach, so not vomiting for me, and yes, it is a very powerful and unforgiving hallucinogen. It's like 10 years of therapy in...

I hope you have a chance to do a smoke report on that, althor. I wish there was anybody close to a Rasta man here!

Right on, guys. Thanks for all the attention and recs. Hope others are learning a lot, too. I'm down with the hybrid thing, but I just really want around half of its parentage to be landrace sativa; and however many crosses were done to create the other parent I'd like to be pure...

Sure thing, Poyo.

Or try leafly.com. You simply plug in the exact effects you are looking for (or symptoms you are trying to alleviate) and the site rounds down everything to your best options. There are also a ton of reviews of each strain once you round it down. Then you can check back on the forum to see...

I grow outdoors on a balcony in the Caribbean where there is little shift in daylight versus night hours. Fortuitously, there's a metal halide street lamp that fires up on the same balcony about 14 feet away. That light alone has been enough to trick my plants into thinking it's still...

Cool info, Pepe, and forgot to thank you, too, Muffy. These ar all great suggestions and anecdotes.

Thanks for the continued elaboration, NG and Jogro. This has been really enlightening for me and I hope for others. I 've used leafly.com and found it immensely helpful--so easy to navigate. I'm just at a point now in my experimentation where I know I do not like the couch-locking...

Right on, Jogro. That was a great answer and great information. Much appreciated.

Okay, well, NG, I do like your footnote quote, but I'm going to have to disagree with you unless I misunderstand you. I'm a grower of very little experience, true, but I did my homework before my first grow and read the two presently most popular books on cultivation (Cervantes and the...
