This looks like a wonderful garden

perfect assortment for my new greenhouse ^_^

Some of this could happen..... :3

Although apparently morning glories are illegal in AZ, not because they're hallucinogenic, but because they're the desert equivalent of kudzu. The more you know...

they will look lovely growing all over the front of my house ^_^

k.. so I googled kudzu and still have no idea why morning glories being like kudzu would make them illegal..??

They're both invasive species. Kudzu grows all over in the south and can't be stopped. Same thing with morning glories and the desert. They originally come from southern Mexico, and take over in the deserts.
However, the law applies only to morning glories, and not it's relatives olloiqui and Hawaiian baby woodrose, as far as I know.

Thanks for the info

THE MORE YOU KNOW!!

You forgot the pods from the Datura plant.
They grow wild around Toronto :P

But they're flowering now. The pods come later. :3

They grow wild around here too.

They're almost like dandelions here, they're weeds.
I've never tried datura and I kindof don't want to

I've done it and I don't recommend it to anyone, unless they want to go completely crazy for three days...

Yeah, I hear it's intense though

Toronto you say?

Gimmie!! D: Do want

Claviceps paspelli directly produces lysergic acid propanolamide. This was almost certainly the basis of the Eleusinian Mysteries. R. Gordon Wasson's book (The Road to Eleusis) on this subject is very convincing:

I have taken lysergic acid propanolamide, and it is more dreamy, gentle, and introspective than LSD. I can certainly understand how a mystery cult could last for over a thousand years based on it.

Hmmmmmmmmm.............................

You have me intrigued..... :3

Note to FA admins: I did that over 30 years ago; it was perfectly legal at that time.

Awesome sauce

OMNOMNOMNOM PSYCHEDELIC SALAD TYME!!!

is there a difference between the mornig glory here in CO than in AZ? because it grows wild all around here

Morning glory is a name for a whole bunch of little spiral-trumpety flowers. There is one type of morning glory that will fuck you up. Asians eat it in salad, and it's illegal in every state but... Texas, I believe.

i dunno about that, here it grows in peoples gardens and wild all over

Yeah, I've got a little white wild one here too.
Also, do not eat petunias.

well shit man the deers here loves dat shit lmao

Well, big surprise.. cloven hooves... *Waves a bible about with Rage*

and the lord givith and the lord povidith

They're illegal here in AZ for being the desert equivalent of Kuzdu.

This is fantastic.

Wait... Datura? Wow, THE INTERNET HAS TAUGHT. MY WORKPLACE HAS TABLES OF THIS SHIT. All hail the greenhouse employment.

gee... I've never tried ANY'a these! I'll have ta see how it goes... what?... whaddaya mean ya don't b'lieve me? ;)

"Marijuana! Teacher! Mother! Secret lover..."

wow, I don't even know what some of these things are

The promise lands *O* I always knew it was real ;A;

does Datura really have shamanic potential? I was under the impression it merely induced a nightmarish delirium that offers nothing enriching...

oh nevermind I did not read the earlier comment that concerned Dature.

being a shaman and a gnome i must say
500,00,000 % FAVE

BUT ALL DRUGS IS BAD THE GUVMENT TOLD ME SO ON DEM TVS

lol

Have you ever tried stinkweed. Apparently it has some interesting effects.

once had lots of datura growing in my backyard

This is brilliant!!
But where's the SASSAFRAS?? :C
(Still, love it! <3)

lol

Exquisite work. How did Yopo seeds work out for you? Not something I've tried yet. Oh, and I was meaning to try Ololiuqui(Morning Glory Seeds) and I had ordered some Petroleum Ether off Ebay, but since I was reading so many warnings about how highly flammable the substance was, I passed on the order. I'd rather do the extraction via Petrolium Ether if I ever do venture into trying it because I have a pretty sensitive stomach. PE is supposed to remove all the extras and impurities from the seeds to make for an easy nausea-free trip.

Beautiful!

I love all your art but especially this one because we speak the language of plants

I would love to hear about your Ayahuasca experience. 🐱

you did scopolamine (datura)??
wasn't it.. uh, horrible?

Have you ever tried betel nut?

also I've never heard of syrian rue (is that what it's called? the handwriting is a little hard to read) or yopo seeds.

I've always wanted to try amaninta muscarina. did you get any interesting effects from it?

Yep, I've done Datura, long time ago. In very small amounts it has an interesting effect, but I don't recommend it. I've seen people drink large quantities of belladonna tea and it went south really quick. I haven't tried betel yet, syrian rue is an MAOI that is used in ayahuasca analogue mixtures, as it contains a large amount of beta-carbolines that can allow DMT to be digested, like the ayahuasca vine. Yopo seeds are a psychedelic tryptamine-containing seed that are used in the amazon as a psychedelic snuff. Haven't tried it, either.

Amanitas are interesting, but they are more of a depressant than a hallucinogen. My experiences were like having a really intense fever dream. Certainly not recreational. Datura and Amanitas can get really uncomfortable/dangerous and can cause a lot of issues if not used properly. Even though I'm growing datura right now, I'm not messing with it. Most of the things than can get you high legally are also usually more dangerous that things like cannabis, psilocybe mushrooms, cacti or ayahuasca.

>In very small amounts it has an interesting effect, but I don't recommend it.

makes sense. I know that some people get a high off pharmacological anticholinergics, such as Cogentin, that are used to treat parkinson's and antipsychotic induced pyramidal symptoms.

I've read a number of experiences archived at the Experience Vault, regarding the anticholinergics, many were datura or jimson weed, but also diphenyhydramine and others. makes for fascinating, if horrifying, reading

I've recevied a stimulant effect off of diphenhydramine (Benadryl), which is an anticholingergic. I found out about it because I would pop two to get to sleep, and when that didn't work, pop 2 more. at around six or eight tablets in a night, I became stimulated and had to get up and play video games. I found that it helped me focus and progress at gaming (I'm diagnosed ADD. so the pro-dopamine effect probably helped). there was a LITTLE euphoria, in a sense. and the focus. but the other side effects.. it made me feel so lousy really that it wasn't a viable thing to take. I felt like I was poisoning myself, which I probably basically was.

Yes, I have read about the reaction they exploit to make oral DMT work. fascinating!

>Amanitas are interesting, but

part of this may be the muscarine. it's supposed to feel nasty. But I wonder, can't you take an antimuscarinic drug like Cogentin or diphenhydramine to remove some of the side effects?

I don't really have a bucket list. but if I did, Betel nut would be on there. maybe someday I will happen to travel to a country where it is abundant and legal.
