Pharmacologically Active Plants

DarkSpark · Aug 26, 2014

Hey dude, just my 2c. Change the mix for that loph. they're very sensitive to overwatering and any mix with that much organic matter really ups the chances of it succumbing to rot. If tha happens, you can say goodbye to your little baby. I would go minimum 50% mineral based, maybe even 70%. you want it to be REALLY free draining. Diatomite, perlite, scoria, coarse sand, crushed rock are all good additives. if you're keeping it indoors, expect to have issues with spider mites too.

Yeah thankyou for that insight.........im thinking mostly perlite,rockish scoria recipe you mentioned sounds like it will be purrrrfect! As for those flyin lil bastards named mites...ive been lucky so far ....I think jade imtimidates them.....lil whackado has 7-8 claws on each paw!!!!!!!

Hey everybody! I have been a member here at the Farm for a while, but not very active. I love plants. Especially pharmacologically active and psychoactive plants. So I thought I'd post some of my favorite non-cannabis psychoactive plants.

Lophophora williamsii
I'm not sure of the age of this Peyote cactus, I bought it fully grown. She puts on some nice blooms and makes plenty of seeds in the summer.

Catha edulis
This is a Khat plant that I grew from seed. It's about three years old now. Very hardy plant native to the Horn of Africa and also grown in Yemen. The leaves contain cathinone which is a stimulant similar to, but milder than, amphetamine. It's funny that the alkaloid is a controlled substance but the plant is totally legal. Oh the folly of trying to outlaw, patent, or regulate God's creation.

Salvia divinorum
This is a Salvia plant that I grew from a cutting. They root very easily.

Peyote where do you find the button part that you take.

iCultivate · Sep 18, 2014

The button part is the top of the cactus, basically the entire above-ground portion of the plant. You're better off eating san pedro cacti and allies, as they're way faster growing and not endangered.

Basically it's your brain malfunctioning. Same as when you're on drugs.

A neurologist atheist skeptic recently had a near death experience. Before his experience he also stated as you did that a malfunction in the brain was occurring. When he had his NDE he came back from it to tell his story that God does exist, just saying I will look for the video and article and post back with scientific studies backing his new theory........everyone is entitled to believe what they want, I'm a fan of natural mind altering substances but they are not the same experience as believing in God.

DarkSpark · Oct 14, 2014

Believe what you want. the fact belief is based without proof is reason enough for me not to pay heed to it. just because some neuroscientist had an NDE and decided god exists means nothing. that's not science that' personal opinion.
