Hi, I recently started working on my own. I'm looking for someone with a good eye for how the tax system works and who knows about VAT/BTW and all the other things that you need for freelancing/working on your own. The person I'm looking for is creative and also interested in things that don't...

Hoi allemaal, Dit is een oproep aan iedereen die ervaring heeft met het extraheren van de tryptramines uit Mimosa hostils wortelbast e.d. Ik ben een website aan het maken over ayahuasca, waarin ook een stuk over DMT staat en een voorbeeld extractie-methode. Ik heb hiervoor de Marsofold techniek...

I've posted some pictures of my first attempt to grow P. arundinacea. They're in the Cultivation > Other plants section. I hope I'll be as successful with it as I am so far, because it seems to be an extremely easy, rewarding, fast-growing plant and I'm not taking extreme good care of it. I just...

Did anyone ever try a Mimosa hostilis cold water infusion, as proposed by Ott? It's a preparation that involves no other plants. The exact psychopharmacology is not yet clear. We know 5-MeO-DMT is an MAOI, but in the amounts present it is simply too weak to potentiate all the N,N-DMT in the...

This American research, of which the results have been publish mid 2006, has some positive conclusions on the use of the classic, visionary psychedelics and several popular shamanistic and medicinal plants and other kinds of drugs. "Ranking psychoactive substances by their ratios of lethal dose...

There's a nice article on LSD purity newly published on Erowid, check it out here: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/lsd/lsd_article2.shtml

Interessant onderzoek, inclusief verwijzingen naar n,n-DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, boeken uit de psychedelica subcultuur, etc. http://www.spiralsofevolution.nl/nl/onderzoek.shtml

Art or pulp, trillions of people have thoroughly enjoyed Southpark. And the creators are apparently openminded enough to consider the use of hallucinogens. http://www.tripzine.com/listing.php?smlid=843

Although probably no news at all for most of us, San Pedros produce beautiful flowers, when given the right circumstances. A recent contribution to the Erowid image archive shows just how magnificent these flowers can be: http://www.erowid.org/plants/show_image ... 1_disp.jpg I thought it...

Thanks to MAPS, proper research into the realms of the mind is finally being conducted again, after 3 decades of practically no research: http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v16n2- ... sreal.html http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v16n2- ... swiss.html http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v16n2- ...

News from February 2006, but still interesting enough for the ones who might have missed it, like me: http://www.erowid.org/chemicals/ayahuas ... aw22.shtml

This might be news for many psychonauts: there is no THC in marijuana and most hashish. "Marijuana produces THCA, an acid with the carboxylic group (COOH) attached. In its acid form, THC is not very active. It is only when the carboxyl group is removed that THC becomes psychoactive. When...

There are rumours about the Maya having used a certain type of shell for their psychoactive potential. Nowhere on the web can be found any information on this, however. The shell concerned here is the Spondylus, probably the S. pictorum, but there is no certainty, as hardly any investigation has...

Balche is an alcoholic beverage consumed by the Maya. Read the first part of the following article to get an impression of this intoxicant and its use: http://www.stirringthecauldron.com/2005 ... d_moon.php Anyone with any knowledge on this uncommon brew, possible analogues and related rituals...

http://www.maps.org/news-letters/v08n3/08322top.html The article tells the story of a man who has gained effects against cancer through the use of Ayahuasca.

Everyone who's been under the influence of a psychedelic knows how difficult it is to convey your experience, even to the most experienced psychonaut. Perhaps we should make it common sense to use Alexander Shulgin's rating scale, a description of which can be found here...
