Greetings, Felicitations, Aves to all brethren and cistern.

I am rather late to the game with regards to working with plants.

I've been "psychonautic" since the early 80s...off and on.

Recent reading led to an epiphany that I could "do it myself", under the radar, personal illumination only kinda thing.

Initially I was going to attempt the propagation of fungi, but alas my normally-liberal region prohibits the import even of spores for microscopy...so it goes.

That closed door led me to digging through Erowid. My disciplines include music, magick, and martial arts, and even though I'm a master of none, I still seek purity and, indeed, the "kernel", in technique, in tek/procedure, in results.

That ultimately led me here, to this august community. True heros in the psychonaut world are what I've found here, a balance of harm-reduction and empowerment.

Thanks to the tek resources at the wiki, SWIM (inexplicably switches to 'swim' mode here...) had wonderful success with a first ever LSA extraction from HWBR seeds to 192 proof grain alcohol, based on PanoraMIX tek. Even though swim fat-fingered and ham-fisted the way through it, the bioassays were luminous and nausea-free. Cannabis was consumed at intervals in an attempt to counteract vasoconstriction, and none was detected.

SWIM just received some nifty supplies, including more HWBR, as well as syrian rue, acacia confusa, and also (slightly OT) a OZ each of Artemesia Vulgaris (mugwort) and Artemesia Absintheia (Wormwood)...


SWIM also has been working a little with Anadenanthera (yopo), but is eager to work with the acacia. Adherence to "food grade" teks is important, as much as possible, as the more industrial solvents are difficult to come by, and at the end of the day SWIM's quest for purity is foiled by his lazy nature as well as a reluctance to raise flags by ordering too many things online...


So, tl;dr: This place rocks, psychedelics are important, and I'm grateful for the wealth of information, enough for the kitchen-alchemist to be safe and insane.

Welcome to the Nexus!

It seems as though you have stumbled upon one of the most unique places on the Internet! It is a beautiful place to be, for sure! HBWR seeds were one of my first psychedelic experiences many years ago. Had a good time on them but far from my favorite psychedelic: Mushrooms!

Anyway, my favorite foodsafe tek that works with acacia to yield jimjam would be Q21Q21's Jimjam Party found in the WIKI. I used that one many times with great results.

Anyway, welcome to the Nexus and may you find everything you are seeking here!

PEACE

Edit: Also, the water is shallow here so swimming isn't necessary as it provides no actual legal protection!

hello and thx for mentioning the genus Aves. for that

Indeed! My Latin is as willy nilly as my first LSA extraction. Romanes Eunt Domus. LOL

I had this problem too, I ended going to a place that mushrooms are abundant or at least for sale and then took spores prints myself. I also took a lot of vitamin bottles with breakable capsules in them to help my energy in searching for the mushrooms. I remind you though that talking about smuggling on this forum is against the rules.

Smuggling never entered my mind. My first and only attempt at P cubensis inoculation was via a kit I purchased legally through mail order...1990 iirc...

Nope, it was the restriction on spore import that got me into finding other ways of getting to hyperspace, which led me here

I have more than enough legally-obtained materials to keep me busy for a bit now.
