We moved to the country last autumn and are attempting to cultivate this relatively steep small-mountainside. I'm very excited to finally be settled down and able to grow all my favorite plants, psychoactive and non. I have (so far)-


and I am planning on growing Poppies, though it may be too late in the year to plant those? as well as Harmala, morning glory, some decorative varieties of Nicotiana and Datura,

My garden:

Rivea corymbosa
ipomoea (heavenly blue, g. ott, black and moon flower)
Hawaiian baby wood rose (hawaii and ghana)
Codariocalyx motorius (Desmodium gyrans)
Mimosa Hostilis
Mimosa veracusa
Voacanaga Africana
Tabernathe iboga
Psychotria viridis
Psychotria alba
B. caapi
B. muricata
Horsfeildia superba
Datura (local cultivar with smooth seed pods)
Leucana lucephyla
Desmanthus illinoisis
Salvia (divinorum, coccinea, farniesa)
Areca catechu
Adenium (several different varieties)

Lophophora (williamsii, diffusa, koike)
T. bridgesii
T. pachanoi
T. peruvianus
T. macrogonus
T. spachinau
Mammiliria (several varieties)
Astrophytum (Several varieties)

used to have many more but sady they were wiped out by bad house stters
hope to get expand my collection very soon

what type of caapi do you guys think i should grow. i wish i knew a trade site i just joined mycotopia.

my terrorist goats broke one of my achuma in half! Really think ahead if you want both goats and plants, btw everyone. But anyway it's ok because It';ll just be a new clone. But still the little nub look sad on top.
The morning glories are all coming up strong, it's interesting to see the similarities and differences between heavenly blue's, Moonflowers, and black morning glory as they grow side by side. we've been accelerating our vegetable efforts as of late, but I managed to get a good amount more 'Flying Saucer' Morning Glories planted, as well as 7 Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds, both in containers for now.
My chiles are doing ok, some unknown Chinese peppers, real hot. I have some pepporoncini (sp?). I don't know how you guys feel about it, but I think hot peppers can be very psychoactive, even if it is a secondary response to capsaicin rather than a direct receptor activation. Some chiles, especially SE asian ones, can be downright entheogenic!

In other plants news, to my surprise I found a Mimosa pudica or "Sensitive Plant", which is a relative of our beloved Jurema which closes its leaves immediately upon being touched! All members of the mimosoideae close their leaves when night falls, but this one takes it a step further. I was really surprised to find it growing uncultivated in my zone, but apparently it is cold-hardy despite being an India native (I think...). I'm going to take a cutting or maybe wait till it seeds; it's really fortuitous, I have just kindof wanted one for a long time but never sought it out , just chekced similar looking small mimosaoids for years and suddenly I found it just off my driveway. coincidences are great.

Last thing is that my moms got me a venus flytrap as a gift while I was recovering from my latest spine surgery - very cool!


It's good to see that so many people here enjoy growing these wonderful plants... this is the only way we can assure that both ourselves and our children have unrestricted access to the healing power plants. This would discourage kids from, say, going out and smoking crack - they'd have mom and pops homegrown Jurema so why bother!

I'm currently living in a dorm room, so I have to be somewhat discrete about what I grow (no cannabis plants, for example), and it is damn hard to grow any kind of tropical entheogens in a Zone 5a climate, but what I've got are:

1x Salvia Divinorum
1x Datura Stratamonium
1x San Pedro Cactus

I LOVE LOVE LOVE having plants in my room. There's something about the presence of other living things in the space with me (even one as alien as Datura) that makes it so much easier to wake up in the morning, and having something to care for helps give my life some direction.

My friends all think that I am nuts, but occasionally try and hit me up for salvia (which I don't hand out, although I have partaken in on one or two occasions).

There's something about growing the plant you harvest that radically changes the nature of the experience.

Man I can agree with the alien description of the Datura genus... In fact, all of the solanaceae (sp?) have that look about them. We've been growing tons of potatoes as well as a few chiles and eggplants. All of these have that look about them. Oh and I forgot to mention we have an ornamental "Jasmine Tobacco" which is very beautiful and smells great but I don't think it has much effect. besides I quit tobacco 45 days or so ago. All of these are wonderful, though I suppose their beauty is somewhat luciferean.
I have some D. strammonium seed as well as some D. wrightii seed which I have always especially loved. I'm very excited to help these grow, their particular alien beauty is enchanting.

so far I have the following.. all of them are pretty young

- acacia acuminata - i have two 3 month old seedlings
- acacia longissima - i have planted 24 and so far 9 have popped up and are just opening their first pinnae!
- acacia caroleae - recently planted 24 seeds and a few of them just beginning to pop their heads out
- acacia adunca (thanks seldom!)
- peyote
- trichocereus scopulocolis .. 3 fairly half meter sized specimens
- trichocereus bridgesii var. monstrose
- 4 salvia divinorum cuttings which I just got the other day (thanks mate! )
- banisteriopsis caapi

I love my Stramonium to death, I really do, but there have definitely been times when I'm awake in the middle of the night and I swear to all that is Holy that I can feel it considering me.

The San Pedro and psychotria my father grows (he's not into psychonautics, but loves plants) always seemed really benign and helpful, like they approve of me and are there to help, and Salvia is largely indifferent so long as I treat it right.

Datura however, is just as intelligent as all the others, but it is an active intelligence. It is analyzing and learning, and part of that is the tropaine alkaloids waiting in it's leaves.

Rarely I will take a leaf and smoke it, in lieu of cannabis, and one day (a long time from now) I'm going to eat what grows in those spiky seedpods, but for now, I'm not comfortable opening myself up to that spirit. Putting my soul on it's operating table seems like quite the gamble.

Do I sound nuts yet?

Naw you don't sound nuts, not to me at least. I always think of plants this way, psychoactive and non. I believe that plants have a certain degree of intelligence - even and up to a soul or spirit. This is the traditional attitude humans seem to have towards plants - by traditional I mean our deep traditions rather than cultural traditions. There is nothing crazy about it, even if it isn't "true" per se. I mean, the mere fact that plants MOVE - some immediately like my new friend Mimosa pudica - would likely indicate to the pattern-recognition engine that is the human brain that there is some cognition going on. This may be fallacious, but even if it is it doesn't really change much. There is the doctine of Bokonon, Which is that a belief shouldn't be judged by its "trueness" but by its effects on a person. If this belief in the consciousness of plant leads one to be more nurturing and respectful towards the plants, the it is a good belief - regardless of whether or not is actually is so.
And besides, there is a modest body of evidence for at least rudimentary forms of consciousness is plants.


And to be honest I don't know how I stand on the question of the nature of the potential consciousness possessed by the solanaceous nation of plants. On the one hand, they are among the most useful families of plants for humanity - so many of our cultivated foods, herbs, spices, and medicines are in the family making them one of the most ethnobotanical families. But on the other hand, it is a family so full of poisons - many of the rogues and felons of the plant world are included in the species - this family puts a lot of effort into self-defence.
From the majority of reports, I would surmise that No, it is likely not a good idea to go toe-to-toe with any Datura. Not without an ally at least.



Back to the gardening list! -
I located a specimen of Desmanthus illinoisensis (sp?), and since have found it to be a rather common plant in my area, within its "home-range". I am going to wait for seeds to form and collect!
Also, the mimosa pudica around here are flowering (beautiful!), so I should have some seeds soon enough. The cuttings I took seem to be almost dead, but I've seen plants come back from that state. Feeding with a seaweed-based fert that is supposed to stimulate root production.
And finally I acquired some Passiflora caerulea seed!


Sorry for hijacking, if I did indeed hijack!

i think if my family n noticed how much i talk yo mu [plants and what i say to them yhey would be trippin i love my peyotes so much i got a really nive suookier who hooks it up but i have a small problem caus i keep ordering more and more

wanted to bumb this thread because it inspired me to expand my garden sence this i got some caapi an insane amout of peyote expanded my coca plants got some bridgisi and have many more plants on the way

some virginia tobacco..what could be this problem? it has water fertilizers..also other plants in the ground looks like theese ones

some virginia tobacco..what could be this problem? it has water fertilizers..also other plants in the ground looks like theese ones

I am a bit late posting these, but here's what my garden looks like to date:

In order from left to right:

Aloe Vera
Banisteriopsis Caapi
Psychotria Alba (I thought was viridis, but turns out it may be Alba after all)

I'm moving back to New England in September, so I'm unsure how these guys will fare during the winter in my small new place, but I will move heaven and earth to make them happy, so we'll see.

2x Salvia Divinorum
1x Psychotria Viridis
2x Datura Stramonium
4x Banisteropsis Caapi (they're really small and I'm afraid for them )
1x Coffee plant (not entheogenic, but still: coffee )

My wish list includes:

Chaliponga
Calea
HBWR
Morning Glories

Blessings
~ND

Not too much going on right now. I've got some morning glories, T. Bridgessi and a few P. Somniferum going outside, inside I have A. Peregrina and a Salvia Divinorum.

Heres a picture of my Sally. She's a survivor, she finally started to take off after barely hanging on for a very long time.

l. willamsii var. texensis
t. panachoi

coming soon:
m. hostilis
p. somniferum

i love my lophophoras im thinking about planting like 20 i a remote desert like location over in hawaii
