MARIJUANA Here you will find everything about marijuana, like How to roll a joint, Smoking pipes and

bongs and Eating marijuana. Below we describe our opinion of marijuana. Taking marijuana affects and stimulates thinking and leads to a philosophic, positive attitude towards life. It causes euphoric feelings. You start feeling very happy and it stimulates your mind. Someone who is "high" has a positive view on the world and on life. Marijuana doesn't cause any mental harm. No cases are known of individuals crippled for life, neither physically, nor mentally. However, marijuana may intensify already existing latent, suppressed fears. In the Netherlands marijuana is mostly smoked in a joint. The hash or weed is crumbled on some tobacco and sometimes covered with even more tobacco. Then a big joint is rolled, often very ingeniously, and it is shared by a number of smokers. The consequence of mixing tobacco and marijuana is that the smoker does get STONED, but not HIGH. Being stoned is a pleasant form of a light daze. The smoker feels dreamily, his/her world slows down, music becomes more intense and thoughts expand enormously. A stoned person is not very keen. Why should you worry when you're feeling so fine?! There is a large variety of effects of the different sorts of marijuana. The experienced taker knows the difference between Nepalese, Turkish, Afghan or Moroccan hash. Some sorts make you light-footed and talkative, other sorts prompt to lie down and dream. In some circles alcohol is taken while smoking marijuana. mostly beer, sometimes wine, but real macho's also drink whisky or another spirit while smoking marijuana. Then smoking marijuana is useless, as alcohol breaks down the effect of the THC. The reason why marijuana is so popular is very simple: everyone smoking marijuana on a regular basis, knows from personal experience that it's harmless. Innumerable scientific researches have proven again and again that taking marijuana is not addictive. Everyone who smokes pure hashish from a pipe, without tobacco, would like to take again, because he/she appreciates the effect, but he/she doesn't know that uncontrollable need of the nicotine addict to immediately light another cigarette. Smoking pure hashish or marijuana always is a

conscious choice. The marijuana smoker decides to get high, for example to get more out of a conversation or to be able to undergo music or a movie in a more intense way, to feel a bond with nature or to reflect thoroughly on an idea. A marijuana smoker smokes because it gives him/her inspiration, not to escape from reality. Shortly after the smoke of marijuana has been inhaled, the effect is perceptible. The taker starts to feel euphoric, cheerful and relaxed. The beauty, the fun and the bright side of life, usually defeated by the daily grind, become perceptible. Ideas and views crop up and tensions disappear.

How to roll a joint? Many ways of rolling a joint exist. There are some people who can roll a perfect joint by hand without any tool or machine. With practice, nothing is impossible. Then there are two types of Rolling machines for joints. There are devices like the Rollmate, rolling a paper around a cone and just fill the cone, and there are the graffix rollers like the Futurola. Here you put all your stuff in a machine and just twist it a few times. Add the rolling paper and you should have a joint. Both methods will help you rolling a perfect joint. If you want to know more about the use of marijuana, see our FAQs. Here you find info about how much weed you can use, some etiquette and all kinds of answers about joints.

What you need: - Rolling papers (preferably the bigger size) - Tobacco - Weed or Hash - Tip (roach or mouth piece)

- First roll the piece of thick paper (about 1x6cm) into a tight mouth-piece. - Roll out the cigarette-paper, glue-side up and away from you. - Spread crumbled weed on the rolling paper. - Spread the tobacco evenly on the paper. - Remove any lumps or 'woody' bits and mix it well. - Lay the mouth-piece on one side. - Pick up the paper gently with both hands and start shaping the content. - Start in the middle, rolling outwards. Let your thumbs do most of the work. - Give support and pressure with your forefingers. - You should start to feel the mix firming inside the paper. - Wrap the excess paper around the joint. - Use the mouth-piece to get grip, roll the paper into itself around the mouthpiece. - Lick the paper and "glue" it together.

The Rollmate An easy and small rolling device for beginners and advanced smokers. With this device you can roll solid and consistant burning joints. You simply roll a paper around the keyring and fill the cone. A nice tool to roll the perfect joint.

This metal keyring is available in two colours: silver and gold.

Futurola This first and easy joint roller is suitable for clumsy beginners and advanced smokers who are too busy to roll a decent doobie. Simply fill the roller with all the right ingredients and rotate the Futurola roller.

EATING MARIJUANA Eating marijuana has a different effect from smoking it. It not only takes longer before the feeling starts, but it lasts longer as well. This makes it more difficult to dose the stuff. You can easily get too much of THC in your blood which can give you a very good trip or a very bad trip. You wouldn't be the first one ending up in the hospital. So before eating marijuana you should have some experience. Click here for Recipes with marijuana. Dose for eating marijuana If you are using waste (leafs with THC) you should use about 50 to 100 grams of waste on 250 grams of butter. You should just try it to see how much is best for you. If you use weed, you should use about 0.5 to 1 gram per person, but this may vary. Therefore just try and boil it. Remember that when eating marijuana it takes about an hour before you start feeling something. Making Cannabutter (with waste) Bring a pot of water to the boil, then put a small amount of butter in the water. The butter melts, and mixes with the water. Then put the grass or waste in and boil it. Now all the grass will be riling around with the water and the butter. The THC dissolves into the butter. Stir the

stuff regularly. After half an hour of cooking the grass, strain out the grass and waste and squeeze all the juice out of it. Then put the liquid in the fridge. A few hours later, the mixture is cold enough so that the cannabutter has solidified on the surface. It will look kind of scummy, but its just enchanted butter. Scoop it out and retain it in a bowl or a jar. The cannabutter can be used just like butter, in brownies or cake. Making Cannabutter (weed) This method is the method we use ourselves. Its somewhat easier and works just as well. Just burn the weed in a frying pan for a view minutes to activate the cannaboids (otherwise it will become poisoning). Then add the amount of butter you need for your cake and cook it for a few minutes. Dont burn it, and only use this butter for your cake, brownies or your eggs in the morning. PIPES & BONGS Pipes Smoking marijuana or hash with a pipe is the easiest and fastest way to get high. A wide variety of pipes exist, they mainly differ in material, size and smoketreatment. More... Bongs and water pipes Although smoking bongs or water pipes is not the easiest way to get high, there is a health benefit smoking them. Again bongs mainly differ in material, size and smoke treatment. A bong simply is a water pipe without the hoses and a water pipe off course is a bong with the hose(s). Using a pipe is very easy. Sometimes you need to use a screen before putting your marijuana or hash in it. This depends on the kind of pipe you're using. Some pipes even have integrated screens. Screens are thin steel or copper nettings so you won't get any stuff in your mouth. You can get different sizes in Headshops.

The last thing you need to do is to put in the marijuana or hash and light it. Take a good puff and keep it in your lungs for a while. Repeat a few times till the stuff has burned. The last thing is to do is to clean the pipe and relax. You have to keep the cleaning in mind when buying your own pipe. The Bong is a very old way of smoking cannabis. It is made of a 'chillum'(1), a small (usually metal) tube with a pipe head and the other end stuck in the main body (2). The end is located under the water surface to filter the smoke through the water as well as cool it. However, recent data suggest that it doesn't filter out the carcinogens as is commonly believed (with its tar/THC ratio way above that of a joint, but also far below that of a vaporizer), but obviously, using bongs is still much healthier than not filtering the smoke at all. At the bottom of the page you will find some pictures of bongs; the classical shape is a sphere with a tube sticking out, but you can get them in just about any shape (ranging from a pistol to penis shaped bongs; you can even get small 'pocket bongs', but we cannot recommend those). Bongs are mainly made of glass, acrylic or metal, each of those materials having its own advantages and disadvantages. Glass bongs are easy to clean, and you can use almost any cleaning substance on them without having to fear that it'll melt. However, they obviously also break rather easily and are thus difficult to transport. The chillum in Glass bongs is frequently made of glass as well, whereas normally it is made of metal. Acrylic bongs are generally speaking a bit cheaper. However, depending on the quality, their colour can get cloudy, which usually doesn't look very nice. Most of the cleaning fluids normally used to get rid of the tar patches formed on the inside, will also dissolve the acrylic. So be careful with what you use. They are, however, perfect for transporting in a backpack or

the like, since they are almost unbreakable. In almost 100% of the cases, the chillum is made of metal. Finally, there are metal bongs. These are generally quite expensive, but unless the bong gets run over by a truck, they'll last you a lifetime. Similar to glass bongs, they are easy to keep clean (sometimes metal bongs get a special coating, so that you can simply wipe off the tar), nothing will break the metal bongs, and generally they are the best. However, the metal sometimes adds a rather odd taste to the smoke, which some people dislike. VAPORIZER How does the Vaporizer work? The vaporizer works by heating your substances to the exact temperature of the active chemicals such as marijuana, salvia and many other herbs. For example THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and the cannabinoids like CBN will actually vaporize into a "thin mist". This "mist" contains the vaporized, active chemicals which are then captured in a small glass dome ready to be inhaled via the tube whenever you want to. Why use a Vaporizer? When smoking, the substance is heated to very high temperatures. This temperature (which is much hotter than necessary for inhaling the flavour and essence of a plant) burns the material and causes it to be converted into smoke. This smoke can then be inhaled by the smoker in an attempt to obtain the benefits of the substance. When vaporizing , the development of harmful substances and odours will be reduced to a minimum. This means that even nonsmokers find the vaporizer enjoyable. A further advantage of vaporizing is the exploitation of active ingredients, being 3-4 times greater compared to smoking. Different types of Vaporizers: The smoke bubble vaporizer This is a basic vaporizer requiring no technology at all. You place your selected herbs into the bowl, then heat the bowl gently and evenly with a lighter and watch the vapours lift up in the tube for you to inhale.

The regular Vaporizer It is strong, functional, compact and easy to clean. It is easy to operate, simply turn your vaporizer on with the flick of a switch. There are many different models available. Some work on 110 volt (USA) others on 220 volt (Europe) Digital vaporizer With convectional fan forced heating system and temperature control, super deluxe. Many options and most 110 volt and 220 volt. The only disadvantage is the price. adjustable digital models work on

MARIJUANA FAQ 1. What is a Joint? 2. How much weed should a joint contain? 3. How do I roll a joint? 4. Why do people use bongs or waterpipes? 5. What is a onehitter or dug out? 6. How can you eat marijuana? 7. How can you drink marijuana? 8. Can smoking marijuana cause brain damage? 9. How does marijuana make you high? 10. What are the dangers of marijuana? 11. Can you overdose marijuana? 12. Where can I buy marijuana? 13. I have small mushrooms on my marijuana plant, are they hallucinating? 14. How long will marijuana stay in your system? 1.A Joint is a cigarette with chopped weed inside. The smaller end of the joint is called roach or tip, which is made of a piece of cardboard. You can roll a joint just like people roll

cigarettes, but a joint is normally somewhat bigger, and rolled with king size rolling paper. Some people use rolling devices like the Rollmate or the Futurola. 2.The amount of weed in a joint can differ greatly. There are people who smoke joints containing only pure weed or hash. The disadvantage of this is that the joint doesn't burn straight, and you have to light it a few times. The regular joint contains 0.5 to 0.75 grams, depending on the quality of your weed or hash. 3. Basically, you can roll a joint in four different ways: Manually, with a Rollmate, with a Futurola or with the Dollar method. See our Rolling-section. 4. Some people prefer bongs because the smoke is passed through water and will be cooled down and filtered before inhaling. Several carcinogens are removed without removing the active ingredients. 5.A one-hitter is a portable device for smoking weed or hash, meant for people who do not want to smoke an entire joint at a time. A one-hit is a small metal tube that has a small cavity at one end and a mouthpiece at the other. One presses the cavity into a small container of cleaned weed or hash to fill it. Then lit it like a cigarette and inhale steadily until the weed or hash is gone. 6. Before you can eat marijuana, it should first be heated in order to activate the cannaboids. Otherwise it will become poisoning when putting it in the baking mixture without heating. The most popular way of eating marijuana is to bake it in a brownie or cake. 7.Its possible to get the THC (the working chemicals) into a drink. You can simply place marijuana in a bottle of grain alcohol for 2-3 weeks. This process can be quickened by heating up the alcohol but this can be dangerous because alcohol is highly flammable. The substance you get is called "Green Dragon" and should be mixed with soda or other drinks. 8. No study has ever demonstrated that marijuana causes cellular damage or mental damage. Even not after heavy use. 9. THC, the working chemical in marijuana, makes you high. THC contains chemicals with substitutes for a natural brain chemical, with some differences. This chemical touches

receptors (kind of buttons) on the brain cells. So marijuana tickles brain cells but it will not damage them like alcohol does. 10.The one and only danger with marijuana is that it is illegal. 11. Its almost impossible to overdose marijuana. In the worst case you may puke. This mostly happens if you use it with too much alcohol. 12. Sorry, but it's still illegal to buy marijuana in most countries. There are people selling marijuana online, but you cannot trust them. You can consider growing your own, although it's illegal. 13. I will answer this question. "Yes, you may find many mushrooms which are unknown or uncommon to you. The chances of them being a mushroom causing unwanted effects, such as inducing unconsciousness, coma, or even death, are by far greater. Mushrooms can be very similar in their features. It takes a professional to truly tell the difference. They can take it to a lab and take samples of the spore area. This is almost a secure way. 14. It depends quite a bit on the individual, how often you've smoked, how much you smoked, and what type of drug test is used. Overall, detectable traces of marijuana can stay in your system anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months after the last time you've smoked. It tends to lean towards the longer range if you're subjected to second hand smoke, etc. And certain types of tests, such as a test of a hair sample, can detect it up to 6-8 months after your last use. GROWING MARIJUANA Introduction: Growing marijuana is illegal, except in Holland, where you are allowed to have 5 plants per house. But growing is something you can do in the privacy of your own home, without having to deal with someone you don't know or don't trust. The best reason for growing your own marijuana is the enjoyment you will get from smoking your home-made pot. In this document we will explain the basic elements of growing marijuana. If you would like more information on a certain subject, you will find some links below. Everyone can grow marijuana in 4 basic steps:

1. Get the seeds. If you don't already have some, you can buy them for a very low price in this shop: Dutch seedshop Shayanashop Azarius online smart- and reformshop

2. Germinate the seeds. You can simply drop a seed into moist soil, but by germinating the seeds first, you can make sure that the seed will indeed produce a plant. 3. Plant the sprouts as soon as a seed cracks open and begins to sprout, place it on some moist soil and sprinkle a little soil over the top. 4. Supply the plants with light, warmth, water and fresh air. With lighting, control devices, ventilation, nutrients. Germinate A wet tissue, napkin or sponge is placed in a container or on a plate, and is covered with a plastic wrap. The seeds are checked on germination every 12 hours. As soon as the root cracks the skin, the seedling is planted with the emerging point downwards. Soil Your main concern, after choosing high quality seeds, is the soil. Use the best soil you can get. If you use non-sterilized soil, you will almost certainly find parasites in it, probably when it is too late to transplant your marijuana. You can find excellent soil for sale at your local plant shop or nursery and even some grocery stores. The soil you use should have the following properties for the best possible results: 1. It should drain well 2. The ph should be between 6.5 and 7.5 3. The soil should also contain humus for retaining moisture and nutrients.

Containers After preparing your soil, you will need some kind of container to plant in. It's best to use just one size container so you don't have to transport the plant. Make sure the container is about 20 cm high. (6 inches) Fertilizer Marijuana enjoys many nutriments, but you can do damage to the plants if you are too zealous. Some fertilizers can burn a plant and damage its roots if used in too high concentrations. Most commercially sold soil will have enough nutrients in it to sustain the plant for about three weeks of growth, so you don't need to worry about feeding your plant until the end of the third week. The most important thing to remember is to gradually put the fertilizer concentration into the plant. Start with a fairly diluted fertilizer solution and gradually increase the dose. Light To maintain a fast growing garden, a minimum of 20 watts of fluorescent light per square foot is required. As long as the plants' other needs are met, the more light the plant receives, the faster and bushier it will grow. The plants' buds will also be heavier and more developed. Standard straight-tube fluorescent lamps use 8-10 watts per linear foot. To light a garden, 2 tubes are required for each foot of width. Gro-Lux lights are probably the most common fluorescent plant lights. Personal experience has shown that they are extremely effective. They range in size from 1 to 8 feet in length so you can set up a growing room in a closet or a warehouse. Once the seeds germinate, the light is kept on for 18-24 hours a day. A week after germination the light is cut back one hour so that the regimen consists of 17-23 hours. The following week the lights are cut back again, to 16-22 hours of light. Each week thereafter, the lights are cut back another hour until the light is on only 12 hours a day. Using this method the plants are ready to harvest in about 3 months.

Temperature and Humidity The ideal temperature is 68 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit (20 to 25 degrees Celsius). Night temperatures should be a few degrees lower than daytime temperatures. Temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit (17 degrees Celsius) slow down the growth of most varieties. Cannabis grows best in a mildly humid environment: a relative humidity of 40 to 60%. Plants growing in drier areas may experience chronic wilt and necrosis of the leaf tips. Plants growing in a wetter environment usually experience fewer problems. Ventilation Proper ventilation in your growing room is quite important. The more plants you have in one room, the more important good ventilation becomes. If you are planning to grow more then 10 plants, you have to think about this. Watering To discover when to water, touch the soil with your finger. If you feel moisture in the soil, you can wait to water a day or two. The soil near the top of the pot is always drier than the soil further down. You can drown your plant just as easily as you can let it get too dry, and it is more likely to survive a dry spell than it is to survive a torrential flood. When you water the plants, do it well and do not water them when they don't need it. MAGIC MUSHROOMS Intensity of trip Introduction Magic Mushrooms are neither physically addictive nor likely to cause psychological dependence. Many people actually find that their desire to use magic mushrooms decreases for a period of time after use. As with all substances, some people will use them more frequently than they are comfortable with. Species

There are many different kinds of magic mushrooms with all different effects. Most famous are the Psylocybe Cubensis from Mexico and the Copelandia Cyanescens from Hawaii. The magic mushrooms contain a high concentrate of psilocybin and psilocin which causes a trip. Using Magic Mushrooms To get the best out of magic mushrooms you need to eat and chew it very well. You can also make tea of it, but this will not result as intense as eating. The effects of magic mushrooms are mainly determined by the dose, an individual's sensitivity to psilocybin, how much of it has been eaten and how recently. It takes 30-60 minutes before it works. The primary effect of magic mushrooms lasts for 4-6 hours. A normal portion of dried magic mushrooms is around 2 grams for a good trip, but this can vary. When the magic mushrooms are not dried but fresh, then a portion is about 20 grams, but this can also vary. Effects of Magic Mushrooms A trip of magic mushrooms will give you an intensification of existing feelings, visual hallucinations and transformation of experience of time and place. It gives you the feeling that things are different than usual. You will notice things you normally don't, or just take for granted. The things you see, hear or do are much more intense. You can see new perspectives or get feelings of insight, but mostly it causes a lot of laughter because everything you see is much funnier. Intensity of Magic mushrooms trips. Read more about Magic mushroom experiences. Don't use magic mushrooms when... People in the midst of an emotional or psychological upheaval in their everyday lives should be careful using psychedelics such as magic mushrooms, as they can trigger even more difficulty. Only take magic mushrooms when you feel good and when you're an emotionally stable person. MAGIC MUSHROOMS Intensity of trip

Don't use magic mushrooms when... People in the midst of an emotional or psychological upheaval in their everyday lives should be careful using psychedelics such as magic mushrooms, as they can trigger even more difficulty. Only take magic mushrooms when you feel good and when you're an emotionally stable person. EATING MAGIC MUSHROOMS There are two ways to take the Magic mushrooms. The first method is the most common one, eating them. The second method is to put the mushroom in a capsule. Eat the magic mushrooms on an empty stomach (at least 3-6 hours after eating) in a quiet environment. Chewing it well slowly improves the effect and saves your stomach. To get the most out of the magic mushroom you just eat them raw, however you will probably not like the taste of it. So below we have some suggestions, or check out our recipes with magic mushrooms: * Add the magic mushrooms to an omelette or scrambled eggs * Eat the magic mushrooms on a slice of toasted French bread * Top home made pizzas with magic mushrooms * Place magic mushrooms on top of a cooked chicken * Put the magic mushroom in a cup of soup * Stuff a pita bread with an assortment of sauted vegetables and magic mushrooms

Another great way to take magic mushrooms is to make capsules. Grind the mushrooms "cracker-dry" with a coffee grinder or mortar and pestle. Take all the dust and use it to fill blank gel capsules. Blank gel caps can be purchased at health stores with an extensive stock. The gel caps hold exactly 0.5 grams of dust, thus giving you a benchmark of how much you are ingesting. The gel caps are also instantaneously dissolved by your

gastric juice and what's left inside the caps is digested even quicker than chewed mushrooms because it has already been decomposed. Another advantage: no nasty mushroom taste.

SMOKING MAGIC MUSHROOMS You can also smoke dried mushrooms. It's a bit milder than eating them or making tea, but you need to use more mushrooms. It works a bit quicker. You can compare the effect with a good joint, but it's not exactly the same as eating them, because the psilocybin and psilocin decompose due to the temperature of the flame. Some people having tried this method did not experience any effects at all.

GROWING MAGIC MUSHROOMS If you would like to grow your own magic mushrooms, two very good methods exist. These are the PF TEK-method and the magic mushrooms growing guide. You can download both documents at the bottom of this page. Both methods are quite complicated and consist of about 40 pages of technical information. Therefore we recommend the beginning home grower to start with a grow kit, with the difficult work

already done. Another advantage is that you can use the spores (which you can catch from your grow kit) to start your own culture after finishing your first grow kit. Buy a prepared grow-kit 1. Make a terrarium. 2. Provide the terrarium with the right climate. 3. Harvest, about 5 times. To activate your magic mushroom growing kit, simply buy or make a terrarium. An old aquarium is perfect as long as you can make it air-tight. Some samples of terrariums.

The diagonal plate is handy against leaking, but is not necessary. Place 2 to 3 inches of water at the bottom of the tank. Make sure that the water is boiled so it does not contain any contaminants. At the top of the terrarium some ventilation holes are located. Cover these with filter paper (coffee filters are perfect) to prevent outside air particles containing mould or fungal spores from entering the terrarium. Wear gloves and a face mask, open the grow kit inside the terrarium and close the lid of the terrarium quickly to prevent freely floating spores from settling onto the grow kit. When the top casing layer is white and lumpy hills are starting to form, then expose the terrarium to light for 8 hours a day. Don't use lights, only a little bit of daylight is sufficient. Make sure that the temperature remains at 23-25 degrees Celsius. Hang a temperature meter and if necessary, an aquarium heater inside the terrarium. It can take a week before you see the first mushroom growing. Harvesting magic mushrooms

When harvesting the magic mushrooms you should wear gloves and just gently twist the mushrooms out of the casing layer. Then redistribute the casing layer and wait for the next flush. Do not let the mycelium dry. You can spray the mycelium, but not directly, and always with boiled or distilled water. Remember that contaminants are everywhere, so try to keep the grow kit as isolated as possible inside the terrarium. Always wash your hands, wear gloves and a face mask before handling the grow kit.

Download PF TEK-method: The PF TEK is basically a brown rice method with an improved formula by using vermiculite as a base and adding pulverized brown rice. The secret is in the vermiculite. When mycelium is cultured in just grain, the mycelium turns into a mass with little airspace. But when grown with vermiculite, the mycelia threads stretch across space. The important thing about the PF TEK, is that it copies nature. A mass spore inoculation is employed directly to the fruiting substratum. That way, the genotype remains complete. The spores insure a never ending succession of fungus, with all the power of the spores reproductive ability intact. Check the PF-TEK homepage for the latest modifications.

This guide is intended to help you grow Psilocybe cubensis (Amazonian strain) mushrooms. This document intends to enable the first time grower to succeed at a minimal cost and with a minimal effort Introduction This is our Magic mushrooms grow journal, a day to day report from us growing Magic mushrooms in our Office in Holland. Items: terrarium, aquarium heater, humidifier, mushroom Bricks. Specie: Cubensis Equador

Temperature: 23.5 28 C Humidity: 95 - 99% Day 1: We just installed our new Magic mushroom growkit in our office. This picture is taken with a webcam, soon we will use a proffesional Camera.

Day 2: It was too cold last night, so we had to add an aquarium heater beside the heating mat. We hope this is gonna work and that the cold didn't influence the growing.

Day 3: Here a close up. It's still risky cold at night. We have to isolate the terrarium, but they need a little light too. It's all a little on the edge.

Day 4: Temperture is stable right now. No changes so far as we can see, no Magic Mushrooms yet.

Day 5: Here is the pic for today, still no changes so far but it can take 1 to 2 weeks, so we have to be patient.

Day 6: Here is a photo taken close, you can see how humid it is. But still not much to see.

Day 7: Here is a photo taken from just a few inches away. You can see a very small mushroom (brown). This is the first day that we can see this.

Day 8: You can certainly see some progressions, lets take two photo`s today.

Day 9: They are indeed growing fast. Unfortunately we can not sell them for obvious reasons. So i`am afraid that we have to use them ourselfs.

Day 10: We don`t sell Growkits or mushroom spores, but we know some suppliers who do sell these items online, just check our, getting mushrooms section. The photo for day 10, they are growing very rapidly.

Day 11: the mushrooms are almost mature. I think we will pick them tommorow.

Day 12: Today the shrooms where so big that they reached the top of the terrarium, So we had to harvest them. It was probaly better if we had done it yesterday.

Day 18: The second flush.

Day 18: A picture of the first flush dried on the scale, 21 grams !

Day 20: Here is another pic of the second flush. We are gonne pick it right now.

Result: The third flush was not worth picking, The total amount of the first and the second flush was 34 grams. Although you have take care of certain things like, the tempeture, the humidity and working clean it is possible of everyone to grow your own shrooms. MAGIC MUSHROOMS FAQ 1.

Do Magic mushrooms help against cluster headaches? 1.Magic mushrooms are an organic hallucinogen having been used for many thousands of years. They contain the active ingredients psilocybin and psilocin. 2. . If no smartshops exist in your country, you can try the following online shops. Most shops do not sell mushrooms to the USA, but they do sell Growkits. Azarius online smart- and reformshop

3.To make tea you have to cook some water. Keep the fire low and do not take out the mushrooms for about 10 to 20 minutes. Pour the water and mix it with tea. Its better not to use milk in your tea, this breaks down the psilocybin. The residue can be eaten. 4.The dose is different for every individual. Always start with a low dose. It also depends on the kind of mushrooms you take. For fresh mushrooms the dose varies from 15 to 30 grams, and for dried mushrooms this varies from 0.5 to 3.0 grams. 5.You will experience some kind of a trip. The kind of trip depends on the situation. You can have enormous laughs or see incredible patterns with your eyes open or closed. It is similar to LSD, but more natural with visual distortions. 6.Usually it starts between 30 and 60 minutes after intake.

7.You can have a beer or two while tripping, but you dont want to get drunk. It's also nice to smoke a joint while the trip is reaching its end, but be careful! When you a smoke a joint too soon, the trip can turn out very badly! 8.You can have a bad trip. The user may experience panic, confusion, suspiciousness. This may last for a few minutes or a few hours. It may then be good to eat and drink sweet things, like chocolate and fruit juice. 9.The effects will reach a peak in the first three hours. After four hours it will get to its end, and after eight hours it has all ended. 10.This depends on your country. The main psychoactive substance in magic mushrooms is psilocybin (psilocin). In most countries psilocybin and psilocin are illegal. However, in quite a lot of countries this does not imply that the psilocybin mushrooms are illegal as well. Unprocessed, fresh magic mushrooms are legal in many countries. 11.They can be eaten fresh or in cooked food. Its best to eat the mushrooms on an empty stomach. Chewing it well slowly improves the effect and saves your stomach. 12.We know very little about cluster headaches but according to the message board on cluster headaches it might work. First of all, our advice is to discuss this with your doctor. He/she should provide you with an objective advice. As far as we know mushrooms are not bad for your health, although it can have a big influence on the mind. ACQUIRING MAGIC MUSHROOMS There are three ways to get your magic mushrooms: buying, finding and growing. Buying magic mushrooms Buying your magic mushrooms is the easiest way, if you know who sells them. Nowadays dried mushrooms are illegal in most countries. Holland and Ireland are one of the few countries where fresh mushrooms are legally sold in smartshops and headshops. The magic mushrooms they sell are mostly the Psilocybe mexicana or the Stropharia cubensis. They mostly sell fresh mushrooms, 25 to 30 grams. If you buy dried mushrooms you'll get 3 to 5 grams. The vendors know the effect of the magic mushrooms and they adjust the portion to

that. The portions they sell are normally enough for a strong trip. If it is the first time you use magic mushrooms, the do not take too much. The price you have to pay is about 15 dollars a portion. If no smartshops exist in your country, you can try the following online shops. Most shops do not sell magic mushrooms to the USA, but they do sell Growkits. Shayanashop Azarius online smart- and reformshop

Finding magic mushrooms Finding your magic mushrooms in nature is not easy. There are many different kinds of mushrooms, of which quite a few are toxic. So if you really want to find your own magic mushrooms, we advise you to take along an experienced person, or to buy some books about mushrooms. Growing magic mushrooms Growing magic mushrooms is not easy, but if you get the right materials (spores, terrarium and cake) it's possible for everyone. You can also buy special grow-kits. Then you only have to provide the kit with the right climate and to keep it sterile. Read more about growing on our growing page. HERBAL DRUGS Herbal drugs are natural alternatives for chemical drugs and other stimulants. Most come straight from nature, but can still have astonishing effects. They differ in effect and strength, but we can say most are psychedelic or hallucinating. When you're new to herbal drugs, then read about them, start slow and always have someone around.

 Salvia Divinorum - Shows you different places Ayahuasca - This magical drinks makes you hallucinate Yopo - Taste the magic of the ancient Indians Peyote - A psychedelic experience Kratom - Narcotic and stimulating Khat - A flowering shrub native to northeast Africa Absinthe - A green liquor of soaking wormwood

SALVIA DIVINORUM What is salvia divinorum? The botanical name Salvia divinorum means "Sage of the Diviners". For hundreds of years it has been used in religious and healing ceremonies by the Mazatec Indians, living in the province of Oaxaca, Mexico.

The effects of salvia divinorum The effects of salvia divinorum are unlike anything else you have ever experienced. People report an experience of travelling to different places and times. A common effect is the sense

of communication with spiritual worlds. It can produce an out-of-body experience and reveal worlds you never imagined to exist. Using salvia divinorum It is best to smoke the leaf material in a pipe (not a cigarette). Salvinorin A has a relatively high vaporization temperature, and with a pipe you can draw a flame directly onto the leaf material so that it burns at a quite high temperature. It is very important to hold the smoke deep inside the lungs for a good 20 - 30 seconds before exhaling. This allows time for salvinorin A to be absorbed from the smoke. When smoked, the first effects are noticed within 1 minute, rapidly developing into a peak which lasts for 5 - 10 minutes, then gradually diminishing over the next 20 - 30 minutes. From beginning to end, the entire experience lasts between 30 minutes and one hour. Do not smoke it alone. Have someone around to keep an eye on you. Salvia is no "fun" the way alcohol or Cannabis can be. If you try to party with Salvia you will probably not have a nice experience. Each and every person has a unique and different experience with salvia divinorum. A lot of it has to do with the location and your intentions. Sometimes too much information can create expectations. It is basically pretty simple. Try it if you like and remember that you are dealing with a very powerful plant.

AYAHUASCA From the Amazonian rain forest comes one of the most potent catalysts for increased awareness yet discovered by mankind. In Ecuador and Peru this medicine is known as Ayahuasca, a Quechua Indian word ironically meaning "vine of the dead". As a hallucinogenic substance, Ayahuasca does not properly refer to one single plant, but to a singular mixture of two very different plant species. There is no such thing as an ayahuasca plant or a yage plant. Ayahuasca correctly refers to a psychedelic combination of plants varying in potency according to the skills of its maker. Ayahuasca is famous for the visions it generates and the real experience users seem to have. Ayahuasca seems to induce and expand the hypnagogic or twilight state while at the same time it

keeps the individual awake and conscious.

Many individuals report that the Ayahuasca brew makes them think faster and be more intelligent. Some people with extensive experience using ayahuasca even indicated that eventually these ideational effects are more meaningful than the visions. In general, people report that ayahuasco gives them more insight and new ideas than they normally have. Ayahuasca is available in the following shops:

YOPO Introduction of Yopo During Columbus' second journey to the New World, Spanish friar Ramn Paul did the first European observation of psychedelics-use involving cohoba sniffing, a powerful mindaltering means made from seeds of the yopo tree (Anadenanthera peregrina). The main psychoactive components are DMT (N,N-dimethyltryptamine) and 5-methoxy-DMT, which are also present in other trees, vines and shrubs and even in mushrooms. In most countries extracting DMT is illegal.

Species There are four species of the Anadenanthera genus, the Peregrina species is called Yopo or Jopa and the snuff is named Cohoba. The other three species Colubrina, Excelsa and Macrocarpa also contain the same active chemicals, but the snuff is often called Vilca. Using Yopo

The Indian tribes mostly snuff the toasted and pulverized Yopo seeds/beans mixed with ashes or calcined shells. Adding limestone to the powder will strongly enhance the visual hallucinations. A good Yopo to limestone ratio is 3:1. Combine it with some Banisteriopsis caapi powder to make the trip even stronger. This is a rather harsh method and can induce violent sneezing and heavy hallucinations. More often, these tryptamines are smoked a smaller amount is needed in order to feel the effects, which arrive in a matter of seconds. The smell and taste is like burning plastic when smoked and it is harder to smoke than hash. However there is no evidence that it is damaging. Because both methods require inhaling of the Yopo powder, it will allow the DMT to pass directly onto the blood. Effects of Yopo With sniffing the effects start in 5 minutes and last for 30 minutes. Small doses of Yopo (2-3 seeds) will generate light euphoria and minor (with eyes closed) hallucinations. Larger doses (4-5 seeds) will generate euphoria, stronger hallucinations and loss of bodily control. When smoked, the experience resembles that of smoking pure DMT. A smaller amount is needed in order to feel the effects, which start in a matter of just a few seconds. The peak lasts for three to ten minutes and will stop after twenty to thirty minutes. Yopo seeds are available in the following shops: Azarius online smart- and reformshop Shayanashop More info on Yopo is available on these pages: http://www.erowid.org/plants/anadenanthera/anadenanthera.shtml http://leda.lycaeum.org/?ID=101 http://www.ethnogarden.com/columbrina.htm Warning: Not recommended for use under 18. If pregnant, nursing or taking a prescription drugs, consult your health care professional. Do not use Yopo if you are suffering from anxiety attacks or depression. Do not exceed recommended dose. Consumption may impair ability to drive or operate heavy equipment. Not recommended for consumption with

alcoholic beverages. During a DMT trip you might loose control over your body. Have someone around, who will look after you and does not use the drug during your trip.

KRATOM What is kratom ? Kratom is a tree native to Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia and Myanmar). Its botanical name is Mitragyna speciosa. The leaves of kratom have been used as an herbal drug from time immemorial by tribes of Southeast Asia. It is used as a stimulant (in low doses), sedative (in high doses), recreational drug, pain killer, medicine for diarrhea, and treatment for opiate addiction.

What are the active components in Kratom? Over 25 alkaloids have been isolated from kratom. The most abundant alkaloids consist of three indoles and two oxindoles. The three indoles are mitragynine, paynanthine, and speciogynine - the first two of which appear to be unique to this species. The two oxindoles are mitraphylline and speciofoline. Other alkaloids present include other indoles, and oxindoles such as ajmalicine, corynanthedine, mitraversine, rhychophylline, and stipulatine. The Effects of Kratom In low doses (10 grams) it induces mild euphoria and reduces fatigue. Low doses do not interfere with most ordinary activities, however, one should not drive or perform other activities that require full attention. With strong doses (20-50 grams) the effects are profoundly euphoric and immensely pleasurable. Typically, people describe the effects as dreamy, ecstatic, and blissful. Many people experience closed-eye visualizations. Strong doses must only be used when one is able to devote several hours to the experience itself. Using Kratom The leaves of kratom are grinded and eaten, usually followed by drinking warm water, tea or coffee. Leaves can also be made into a tea, or a crude resin extraction can be made. This resin extract is made by preparing a water extract of the leaves, boiling it dry, and then shaping it into a small ball.

KHAT

What is khat ? Khat (Catha edulis) is a flowering shrub native to northeast Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Individuals chew khat leaves because of the stimulant effects, which are similar to but less intense than those caused by using cocaine or methamphetamine. Other names by which Khat is known include: Qat, Kat, Chat, Kus-esSalahin, Mirra, Tohai, Tschat, Catha, Quat, Abyssinian Tea, African Tea, and African Salad.

PEYOTE What is peyote ?

Peyote is a small, spineless cactus, Lophophora williams ii, with the hallucinogen mescaline (3, 4, 5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) being the principal active ingredient. From earliest recorded time, peyote has been used by natives in northern Mexico and the south-western United States as a part of their religious rites.

What is the active component in peyote ? This is Mescaline, a naturally occurring psychedelic found in several cactus species, most notably Peyote and San Pedro. Several other members of the trichocereus family also contain mescaline. In addition to containing mescaline, the cacti mentioned above contain a large variety of related psychoactive compounds, and will produce experiences that are qualitatively different than pure mescaline. The experience produced by Peyote is also quite distinct from that produced by cacti from the trichocereus family. The effects of peyote The effects of Peyote have been described as very dream-like, drifting, almost a delirium type of state during the first couple of hours. The sensation is similar to LSD but less edgy. While both auditory and visual hallucinations occur, many users say that a peyote high is more suitable for inner reflection and contemplation. Much depends on the potency of the peyote and the blend of mescaline and the fifty or some odd alkaloids contained in cactus. Using peyote The potency of Peyote, as well as different people's tolerance to it, seems to vary widely. Some people report powerful experiences from as few as three or four Peyote buttons. More often users consume 12 to 15 buttons, and eating more than two dozen is not unheard of. First cut out the spines, then cut the skin off in "V" strips, cutting from the outside of each rib

towards the central section of the cactus. These "V" strips are saved as they contain the most potent flesh. Eating is definitely not fun as it tastes very bitter. Chew the cactus to a pulp and then wash it down with some liquid. The high starts some 45 minutes after ingesting. It is also possible to make a tea from the Peyote. It is important to boil the cacti for several hours. Buying Peyote Online ABSINTHE What is absinthe? Absinthe is an alcoholic drink made from an extract of wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). It is an emerald green drink which tastes very bitter (due to the presence of absinthin).

Absinthe was once popular among artists and writers and was used by Van Gogh, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Oscar Wilde, Manet and Ernest Hemingway to name a few. It appears it was believed to stimulate creativity. What is the active component in absinthe? This issue is not entirely resolved. Alcohol is definitely one main component. However, another candidate is the monoterpene thujone, which is considered a convulsant. Thujone's mechanism of action is not known, although structural similarities between thujone and tetrahydrocannabinol (the active component in marijuana) have caused some to hypothesize that both substances have the same site of action in the brain. Thujone makes up 40 to 90%

(by weight) of the essence of wormwood of which absinthe is made (2). Thus, thujone would appear to be a good candidate for a second active component in absinthe. The Effects of absinthe It is difficult to describe exactly what absinthe does to you. The effects are mild when compared to some other drugs available out there, but are very nice none-the-less. The best way to describe the effects of drinking 5 glasses of absinthe is that it is similar to drinking several shots of liquor, eating a single mushroom cap, and smoking a tiny amount of opium at the same time -- For the most part it just gets you drunk, but it also gives you a nice, warm, relaxing, slightly narcotic buzz. Using absinthe Absinthe is traditionally poured over a perforated spoonful of sugar into a glass of water. The drink then turns into an opaque white as the essential oils precipitate out of the alcoholic solution. Ingredients of absinthe There are many different recipes for absinthe but most recipes contain this ingredients: One ounce of dried, chopped wormwood One tablespoon of angelica root One teaspoon of hyssop Half a teaspoon of coriander seeds A quarter of a teaspoon of caraway seeds One pinch of cardomon pods One tablespoon of fennel or anise seeds 750 ml. of 100 proof vodka
